for the other for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by Senior Creditors or Subordinated Creditor, as applicable. No Senior Creditor is, and no Senior Creditor shall be deemed to be, a fiduciary of any kind for Subordinated Creditor or any other
Person. No Subordinated Creditor is, and no Subordinated Creditor shall be deemed to be, a fiduciary of any kind for the Senior Creditors or any other Person. Upon the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, Senior Creditors shall, at the expense of
Obligors, deliver the remaining Control Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements or assignments, first, to Subordinated Creditor to the extent Subordinated Obligations remain outstanding as confirmed in writing by Subordinated
Creditor, and, to the extent that Subordinated Creditor confirms no Subordinated Obligations are outstanding, second, to Borrowers to the extent no Senior Obligations or Subordinated Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such
person to obtain possession or control of such Control Collateral). 
 (2) Motor Vehicles. With respect to all Collateral consisting
of motor vehicles, Agent shall act as sub-collateral agent for and on behalf of Subordinated Creditor solely with respect to perfecting the Lien granted to Subordinated Creditor in such Collateral to secure the Subordinated Obligations which Agent
has perfected its Lien on by being noted as a lienholder on the applicable certificates of title. 
 (f) Insurance. Until the
Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, (i) Senior Creditors and the other Senior Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Loan Documents, to adjust and settle any claim
under any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral; and (ii) all
Proceeds of any such insurance policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) shall be paid, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Loan Documents, first in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 9(c), until paid in full in cash, and second, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any
Subordinated Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this subsection (f), it shall pay such Proceeds over to Senior Creditors in accordance with
the terms of Section 9(c). 

  
 12 







 4. Exercise of Remedies. 

(a) Collateral Enforcement. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced
by or against any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, no Subordinated Claimholder shall: 
 (1) exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies
(other than if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, seeking adequate protection, to the extent permitted by this Agreement); 
 (2)
contest, protest, or object to any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by any Senior Claimholder and no Subordinated Claimholder shall have any right to direct the Exercise of any Secured Creditor Remedies or other action by any Senior Claimholder
(other than as expressly provided for herein); and 
 (3) object to (and hereby waives any and all claims with respect to) the forbearance
by any Senior Claimholder from Exercising any Secured Creditor Remedies. 
 (b) Exclusive Enforcement Rights. Until the Discharge of
the Senior Obligations, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, the Senior Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights as a secured creditor, Exercise
Secured Creditor Remedies and make determinations regarding the Disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Claimholder. The Senior Claimholders shall have the
right to enforce the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion and subject to the terms hereof. Such exercise and
enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise Dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the laws of
any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation the right to Exercise Secured Creditor Remedies. 
 (c) Permitted Actions by
Subordinated Claimholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor and any other Subordinated Claimholder may take each of the following actions, none of which shall constitute the Exercise of Secured
Creditor Remedies: 
 (1) if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, file a claim or statement of interest
with respect to the Subordinated Obligations; 
 (2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status, taking into account the
subordination provisions of Section 3(a) hereof, of the Liens on the Collateral securing any of the Senior Obligations, or the rights of any Senior Claimholder to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies) in order to create, preserve, perfect or
protect (but not enforce) its Lien in and to the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by Section 3(d); 
 (3) file any
responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding, or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of Subordinated Creditor or any Subordinated
Claimholder, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any; 

  
 13 







 (4) vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim with respect to the
Subordinated Obligations; provided, that, in any Insolvency Proceeding, without the consent of the Agent, no Subordinated Claimholder shall support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of any Obligor unless
(x) such plan provides for the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (y) such plan is accepted by the requisite
holders of Senior Obligations voting thereon; 
 (5) make any filing that may be necessary to prevent expiration of or toll the running of
any applicable statute of limitations (so long as such filing is not made earlier than thirty days prior to the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations); and 

(6) take any Collection Action. 

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the right of any Subordinated Claimholder (in each case except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement): 
 (1) to make, support or oppose any request for an order for dismissal, abstention or conversion
in any Insolvency Proceeding; 
 (2) to make, support or oppose, in any Insolvency Proceeding, any request for an order extending or
terminating any period during which the debtor (or any other Person) has the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring or liquidation plan therein; 

(3) to seek the creation of, or appointment to, any official committee representing creditors (or certain of the creditors) in any Insolvency
Proceeding and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee; 
 (4) to seek or object to the appointment of any
professional person to serve in any capacity in any Insolvency Proceeding or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein; 

(5) to make, support or oppose any request for an order appointing a trustee or examiner in any Insolvency Proceeding; or 

(6) otherwise file in any Insolvency Proceeding any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements that assert rights available to unsecured
creditors of an Obligor arising under Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, to the extent consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including filings in respect of any disclosure statement, plan of reorganization or
liquidation or other matters relating to the administration of an Insolvency Proceeding. 
 (e) Collateral or Proceeds Received by the
Senior Claimholders or Subordinated Claimholders from the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies. Senior Creditor and each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or Proceeds
thereof received by the Senior Claimholders or Subordinated Claimholders from any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies will be subject to Section 9. 

  
 14 







 (f) No Hindrance. Each Subordinated Claimholder hereby: 

(1) agrees that Subordinated Creditor and the other Subordinated Claimholders will not take any action, other than as expressly permitted
under this Agreement, that would restrain, hinder, limit, delay, or otherwise interfere with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Senior Creditors or any other Senior Claimholder, or any action that is otherwise prohibited hereunder; 

(2) waives any and all rights Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, to
object to the manner in which Senior Creditors or any of the other Senior Claimholders, seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens securing the Senior Obligations granted in any of the Collateral undertaken in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of Senior Creditors or any other Senior Claimholder is adverse to the interest of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder; and

 (3) acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents (other than this
Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of Senior Creditors or the other Senior Claimholders, with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Loan Documents. 

(g) Judgment Liens. In the event that any Subordinated Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a
result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, to the extent permitted herein, with respect to the Subordinated Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in
relation to the Senior Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 
 (h) Rights
As Unsecured Creditors. The Subordinated Creditor and each of the other Subordinated Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Obligor in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Subordinated Loan Documents and applicable law to the extent such exercise is not inconsistent with, and does not constitute or result in a violation of, the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the
Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholders of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated
Claimholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of Subordinated Obligations held by any of them or is otherwise in violation of this Agreement.
In the event any Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Subordinated Obligations, such
judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. 

  
 15 







 5. Insolvency Proceeding. 

(a) Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Senior Claimholders and the Subordinated Claimholders in or to any Distributions shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding.
Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Financing. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and
Senior Creditors consent to the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; herein, “Cash Collateral”), on which any Senior Creditor has a Lien or permits any Obligor to obtain
financing provided by any one or more Senior Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (such financing, together with any Cash Collateral use, collectively a “DIP
Financing”), then each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it will (A) consent, and will be deemed to have consented, to the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, as applicable, (B) raise no objection to, nor
support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (C) not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing, except
as set forth in Section 5(e) below, (D) and will be deemed to have, subordinated hereunder the Liens securing Subordinated Obligations to (x) such DIP Financing, (y) any adequate protection provided to the Senior Claimholders,
and (z) any “carve-out” agreed to by the Senior Creditors or the other Senior Claimholders, in the case of each of clauses (x), (y), and (z) above, with such subordination to be on the same terms as the Liens securing Senior
Obligations that are subordinated thereto, but on a basis junior to the Liens securing the DIP Financing provided by the Senior Claimholders (such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), and (E) agree, and will
be deemed to have agreed, that notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of the Cash Collateral or approving such DIP Financing shall be adequate notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated
Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and may object to, any DIP Financing if the sum of (a) the principal amount of such DIP Financing (including the undrawn amount of any letters of credit issued or deemed issued under the
DIP Financing) and, without duplication, any unfunded commitments under the DIP Financing (after giving effect to any Refinancing or “roll-up” of Senior Obligations), plus (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Obligations
(including the undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit) that will not be “rolled up” into the DIP Financing, exceeds the Senior DIP Cap as of the date such Insolvency Proceeding has commenced. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any one or more Subordinated Claimholders may propose, or support any other Person in proposing, DIP Financing that provides for the Discharge of the Senior Obligations. 

(c) Sales. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it will consent to the
Disposition of, and will not object to 

  
 16 







 
or oppose a motion to Dispose of, any Collateral free and clear of the Liens or other claims in favor of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code, if the requisite Senior Claimholders or Senior Creditors, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, have consented to such Disposition of such assets; provided, however, that the proceeds of such Disposition of
Collateral are applied to the Senior Obligations or the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 9 hereof; provided further, however, that the Subordinated Claimholders may assert and prosecute any
objection to the proposed bidding procedures or protections to be utilized in connection with any such sale or Disposition that may be asserted by any unsecured creditor. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement (including
this Section 5(c)) shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Subordinated Claimholders, in connection with a sale of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or similar law, or pursuant to a plan of reorganization, to
“credit bid” the amount of the Subordinated Obligations, so long as a Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs in connection with and substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of such credit bid. 

(d) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it
shall not (i) seek (or support any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case, in respect of the Collateral, without the prior
written consent of Senior Creditor, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, or (ii) oppose or take any other action in derogation of any request by any Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholder for relief from the automatic stay
or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral. 
 (e) Adequate Protection. 

(1) Senior Claimholders. In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that it shall not
contest or object (or support any other person contesting or objecting) to: 
 (A) any request by any Senior Creditor or any of the other
Senior Claimholders for adequate protection (whether in the form of Distributions, liens, priority administrative expense claims, or otherwise) or any adequate protection provided to any Senior Creditor or any of the other Senior Claimholders; or

 (B) any objection by any Senior Creditor or any of the other Senior Claimholders to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a
claim of lack of adequate protection (whether in the form of payments, liens, a priority administrative expense claim, or otherwise); or 

(C) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholders under
Section 506(b) or Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. 

  
 17 







 (2) Subordinated Claimholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor: 
 (i) If any one or more Senior Claimholders are granted adequate
protection in the form of periodic cash payments or in the form of an additional or replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors) in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Subordinated Claimholders may seek or request, without
objection from the Senior Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors), which additional or replacement Lien, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the Liens
securing the Senior Obligations and the Liens securing such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are subordinate to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement. 

(ii) In the event that any of the Subordinated Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form of an additional or
replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of the Obligors), then the Subordinated Claimholders agree that Senior Creditors shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Subordinated Claimholders, a senior adequate protection Lien
on such existing or future assets of the Obligors as security for the Senior Obligations and for any DIP Financing provided by one or more of the Senior Claimholders. Any adequate protection Lien on such existing or future assets securing the
Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinated (i) to the Lien on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the Senior Claimholders, and (ii) to any other Liens granted to the Senior
Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are so subordinated to such Senior Obligations under this Agreement. 

(iii) If any one or more Senior Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form a superpriority administrative claim,
then the Subordinated Claimholders may seek or request, without objection from the Senior Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of a junior superpriority administrative claim subordinated to the Senior Obligations and all adequate protection
superpriority administrative claims granted in the Insolvency Proceeding to the Senior Claimholders. 
 (3) Allowance of Postpetition
Accrual. Neither Subordinated Creditor nor any other Subordinated Claimholder shall object to, oppose, or challenge any claim by any Senior Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition
interest, fees, or expenses. 
 (f) Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. None of the Subordinated Claimholders shall object
to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede the right of any Senior Claimholder to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Subordinated Claimholder waives any claim it may hereafter have
against any Senior Claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has occurred, each Subordinated Claimholder
agrees that it shall not exercise any right it may have to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code except pursuant to or in connection with a plan of reorganization that the Subordinated Claimholders are permitted to
vote to accept pursuant to this Agreement. 

  
 18 







 (g) No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any Senior
Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor to any action taken by Subordinated Creditor or any of the other Subordinated Claimholders which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including, if it is
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the seeking by any Subordinated Claimholder of adequate protection or the assertion by any Subordinated Claimholder of any of their rights and remedies under the Subordinated Loan Documents. 

(h) Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over, disgorge or
otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of the Senior Obligations (a “Senior Recovery”), then such Senior Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Senior Obligations with respect to all such
recovered amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such Senior Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Recovery, this Agreement
shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 

(i) Distributions of Debt Obligations. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, debt obligations of the reorganized
debtor, secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor, are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and Subordinated Obligations, then, to
the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and the Subordinated Obligations are secured by Liens on the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations
pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 
 6. Waivers by Senior Claimholders
and Subordinated Claimholders. 
 (a) Senior Obligations. 

(1) All Senior Obligations at any time incurred by any Obligor shall be deemed to have been incurred, and all Senior Obligations held by any
Senior Claimholder shall be deemed to have been extended, acquired or obtained, as applicable, in reliance upon this Agreement, and each Subordinated Claimholder hereby waives (A) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by any of the Senior
Claimholders of this Agreement, and (B) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Senior Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any of the Senior
Claimholders from discontinuing the extension of credit to any Obligor (whether under the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise) or from taking (without notice to any Subordinated Claimholder, any Obligor, or any other Person) any other action in
respect of the Senior Obligations or the Collateral which such Senior Claimholder is otherwise entitled to take with respect to the Senior Obligations or the Collateral. 

(2) None of the Senior Claimholders or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds or for any delay in doing so or shall be under 

  
 19 







 
any obligation to sell or otherwise Dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If any
Senior Claimholder honors (or fails to honor) a request by Borrowers for an extension of credit pursuant to any of the Senior Loan Documents, whether any Senior Claimholder has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request
would constitute a default under the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if such Senior Claimholder otherwise
should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), no Senior Claimholder shall have any liability whatsoever to any Subordinated Claimholder as a result of
such action, omission, or exercise. Each Senior Claimholder will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Loan Documents as such Senior Claimholder may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and
each Senior Claimholder may manage such loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Subordinated Claimholder may have in the Collateral or otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that no Senior Claimholder shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except to the
extent that such Disposition is in direct violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Any Senior Claimholder may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with Obligors as it may determine in its sole discretion without impairing
any of the subordinations, priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, substituting Collateral, releasing any Lien and releasing any Obligor. Each Subordinated Claimholder waives any and all
rights it may have to require any Senior Claimholder to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order. 

(b) Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers. 

(1) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subordinated Claimholder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof;
(ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under any of the Senior Loan Documents, or the creation or existence of any Senior Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Senior Obligations;
(iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase Subordinated Creditor’s or any other Subordinated Claimholder’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for
payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Senior Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise relating to the Senior Obligations (other than any
notice that may be required by the express terms of this Agreement); (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement) and demands to which Subordinated Creditor
or any other Subordinated Claimholder might otherwise be entitled. 
 (2) Each Senior Claimholder hereby waives: (i) notice of
acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under any of the Subordinated Loan Documents, or the creation or existence of any Subordinated Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the
Subordinated Obligations; (iv) notice of any adverse change in 

  
 20 







 
the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase Senior Creditor’s or any other Senior Claimholder’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for
payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Subordinated Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Subordinated Loan Documents or otherwise relating to the Subordinated Obligations
(other than any notice that may be required by the express terms of this Agreement); (vii) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, or (viii) all
other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Senior Creditors under this Agreement) and demands to which Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholder might otherwise be entitled. 

(c) Lawsuits; Defenses; Setoff. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subordinated Claimholder (i) waives the
right by statute or otherwise to require any Senior Claimholder to institute suit against any Obligor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which any Senior Claimholder has or may have against any Obligor; (ii) waives any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense of any Obligor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Obligor in respect thereof, (iii) waives any rights to assert against any Senior Claimholder any
defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Subordinated Creditor or any Subordinated Claimholder may now or at any time hereafter have against any Obligor or any other party liable to Senior Creditor, any other Senior
Claimholder, Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder, and (iv) waives any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection,
sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of any Senior Obligations, any Subordinated Obligations or any security for either. 
 (d)
Subrogation. Subordinated Creditor and the other Subordinated Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Claimholders with respect to all Distributions (and any other payments or distribution in cash, property or other
assets) otherwise payable to the Subordinated Claimholders that have been paid over and applied to the payment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that, the Subordinated Creditor, on behalf
of itself and the Subordinated Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any such payment or other distribution hereunder until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations has
occurred. No Senior Claimholder has, and no Senior Claimholder shall have, any obligation or duty to protect any Subordinated Claimholder’s rights of subrogation arising pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable law, and no Senior
Claimholder is, and no Senior Claimholder shall be, liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by any Subordinated Claimholder. 

(e) ELECTION OF REMEDIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH
SUBORDINATED CLAIMHOLDER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ANY SENIOR CLAIMHOLDER, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES HAS DESTROYED THE RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION OF
SUBORDINATED CREDITOR AND THE OTHER SUBORDINATED CLAIMHOLDERS AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST ANY OBLIGOR BY THE OPERATION OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW. 

  
 21 







 7. Amendments; Refinancing, Notice of Default. 

(a) Subordinated Loan Documents. Until Discharge of the Senior Obligations, each Subordinated Claimholder agrees that none of the
Subordinated Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, or agreement evidencing all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations may be amended, restated, supplemented, Refinanced, or otherwise modified, and no new document, instrument or
agreement may be entered into, without the prior written consent of Senior Creditors, on behalf of the requisite Senior Claimholders, to the extent that such amendment, restatement, Refinancing, supplement, other modification or new document,
instrument or agreement, would, directly or indirectly (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Subordinated Obligations in excess of $105,000,000 (excluding the amount of any interest or fees thereon that have been capitalized in
accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents or in connection with a Refinancing thereof), (ii) (w) add or increase the rate of interest (paid in cash) on any of the Subordinated Obligations to a rate in excess of 2.00% per
annum above the interest rate (paid in cash) set forth in the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof) (excluding, without limitation, the imposition of a default rate), (x) add or increase the rate of interest (paid in kind) on any of the
Subordinated Obligations to a rate in excess of 2.00% per annum above the interest rate (paid in kind) set forth in the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof) (excluding, without limitation, the imposition of a default rate), (y) add
or increase the default rate of interest above the default interest rate set forth in the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof), or (z) add or increase any fee set forth in the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof) (excluding, for
the avoidance of doubt, customary trustee fees, collateral agent fees or similar administrative fees), (iii) change or add any event of default or any covenant with respect to the Subordinated Obligations in a manner which would be materially
more restrictive to any Obligor or to the interests of any of the Senior Claimholders; provided, that, solely with respect to this Section 7(a)(iii), to the extent that (x) the covenants in the Senior Loan Document are added or
amended in a manner that is more restrictive to any Obligor and (y) such Conforming Amendment to the applicable Subordinated Loan Document maintains an equivalent proportionate difference between dollar amounts or ratios, as the case may be, in
the relevant provision in the such Subordinated Loan Document and those in the corresponding covenant in the Senior Loan Document (to the extent that such difference exists between such Subordinated Loan Document and such Senior Loan Document
immediately prior to giving effect to such Conforming Amendment), then a Conforming Amendment to such Subordinated Loan Document may be made, (iv) change or amend any term of any Subordinated Loan Document if such change or amendment would
result in an “Event of Default” under any of the Senior Loan Documents, (v) contravene the provisions of this Agreement, (vi) change (to an earlier date) the date upon which any scheduled payments of principal or interest on the
Subordinated Obligations are due or change (to an earlier date) any redemption or prepayment provisions of the Subordinated Obligations to require any such payments of principal or interest on the Subordinated Obligations on or prior to the date
that is 91 days after the final maturity date (after giving effect to any “springing” maturity) of the Senior Obligations set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), (vii) require any scheduled
principal amortization in excess of the amounts set forth in the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof), (viii) except as contemplated by Section 3(b)(2)(A)(ii), add, expand or accept, regardless of how

acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, any Lien or security interest on any asset of any Obligor, except to the extent such Obligor has
agreed to grant the Senior Creditors a first priority Lien with respect to such asset, (ix) add or amend to make more restrictive any restrictions or limitations on any Person’s ability to make payment on the Senior Obligations which would
otherwise be permitted under the Subordinated Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof, or (x) add or modify (to make more restrictive) any restrictions on the ability to amend or modify any Senior Loan Document. Any assignee or
transferee of Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder shall bind themselves in a writing addressed to Senior Creditors, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders, to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to

shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Subordinated Creditor and each other Subordinated Claimholder, as provided in Section 19 below. 

(b) Senior Loan Documents. Each Senior Claimholder agrees that none of the Senior Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, or
agreement evidencing all or any part of the Senior Obligations may be amended, restated, supplemented, Refinanced, or otherwise modified, and no document, instrument or agreement may be entered into, without the prior written consent of Subordinated
Creditor, to the extent that such amendment, restatement, Refinancing, supplement, other modification or new document, instrument or agreement, directly or indirectly, (i) imposes prohibitions and restrictions on any Obligor’s rights to
make payments on the loans under the Indenture that are in addition to the prohibitions and restrictions on such rights set forth in the Senior Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof, (ii) contravenes the provisions of this Agreement,
(iii) adds, expands or accepts, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, any Lien or security interest on any asset of any Obligor, except to the extent such Obligor has

exit fees or any other fees) on any of the Senior Obligations, including by increasing the “applicable margin” or similar component of the interest rate or by modifying the method of computing interest, to a rate in excess of
4.00% per annum above the interest rate set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) (excluding, without limitation, the effect of imposition of a default rate (as in effect on the date hereof) and increases in the
underlying reference rate not caused by a modification or Refinancing of the Senior Obligations); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i) above, solely in connection with a Refinancing of the
Senior Obligations in whole permitted under this Agreement and the Subordinated Loan Documents, the Senior Loan Documents may be amended, restated or otherwise modified or a new agreement entered into provided that such amended, restated, modified
or new Senior Loan Documents expressly permit (A) the Subordinated Claimholders to receive regularly scheduled interest payments when due under the Subordinated Loan Documents, (B) conversion of the Notes (as defined in the Indenture) into
common stock of the Company (and receipt of cash for fractional shares) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (C) payment of the principal of the Notes (as defined in the Indenture) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon maturity

Refinancing Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture as in effect on the date hereof) and (E) any payment of the Subordinated Obligations (including, without limitation, principal and
interest) including any voluntary prepayment or mandatory payment, so long as the Company satisfies a “payment condition”, leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio or other customary condition similar to the “payment
condition” set forth in the Senior Loan Documents as of the date hereof taking into account the form of the amended, modified or replaced Senior Loan Document. Any assignee or transferee of Senior Creditor or any other Senior Claimholder shall
bind themselves in a writing addressed to Subordinated Creditors, for the benefit of the Subordinated Claimholders, to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement described in this
Section 7(b), this Agreement shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Senior Obligations, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Senior Claimholder, as provided in Section 19 below. 
 (c) Notice of Event of Default. Subordinated Creditor shall
endeavor to give Senior Creditors prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default under any Subordinated Loan Document upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date of receipt by Subordinated Creditor of notice of such Event of
Default from any Obligor or any other Person and (ii) the date on which Subordinated Creditor obtains knowledge of the existence of such Event of Default; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not result in
a breach or default under this Agreement and shall not give any Senior Claimholder any claim against any Subordinated Claimholder as a result of such failure. Agent shall endeavor to give Subordinated Creditor prompt written notice of the occurrence
of any Event of Default under any Senior Loan Document upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date of receipt by Agent of notice of such Event of Default from any Obligor or any other Person and (ii) the date on which Agent obtains knowledge
of the existence of such Event of Default (such notice, a “Senior Default Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not result in a breach or default under this Agreement and shall not
give any Subordinated Claimholder any claim against any Senior Claimholder as a result of such failure. 
 8. When Discharge of the
Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. 
 (a) If any Obligor enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Obligations permitted
under this Agreement and the Subordinated Loan Documents, and the Company gives the Subordinated Credit prior notice (it being understood that the failure to provide such notice shall not render clause 8(a) ineffective), then (i) a
Discharge of the Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) the obligations under such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as Senior
Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the agent and lenders under the loan documents in respect of such Refinancing of such
Senior Obligations shall be Senior Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) such new Senior Creditors shall agree in writing addressed to the Subordinated Creditor to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the failure of such new Senior Creditors to agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement shall not constitute a material breach of this Agreement or impact the subordination effected hereby, and the terms of this Agreement
shall continue to be binding upon each Subordinated Claimholder. 

  
 24 







 (b) If any Obligor enters into any Refinancing of any Subordinated Obligations permitted under
this Agreement and the Senior Loan Documents, and the Company gives the Agent prior written notice thereof (it being understood that the failure to provide such notice shall not render clause 8(b) ineffective), then (i) the obligations
under such Refinancing of such Subordinated Obligations shall automatically be treated as Subordinated Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth
herein, (ii) the trustee and noteholders under the documents in respect of such Refinancing of such Subordinated Obligations shall be Subordinated Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) such new Subordinated Creditors shall
agree in writing addressed to the Agent and the other Senior Creditors to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 
 9. Payments Held In
Trust; Turnover; Application of Proceeds. 
 (a) Payments Held in Trust/Turnover. In the event that any Subordinated Claimholder
receives any Distribution prohibited at such time by this Agreement, such Distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to or delivered to, as applicable, the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders. 

(b) Turnover. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof
(including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in Section 3(d)) received by Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder in violation hereof shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to
Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Claimholders, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for
any Subordinated Claimholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations. 

(c) Application of Proceeds. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, any Collateral or
Proceeds thereof received in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, Senior Default Disposition or Proceeds of Collateral received pursuant to Section 3(b), Section 3(f), Section 4(e) or
Section 5(c) (in the case of clause (i)(y)(2) of the parenthetical in Section 3(b) and Section 3(f), to the extent the Obligors are required to apply such proceeds to the Senior Obligations or the Subordinated
Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable), shall (at such time as such Collateral or Proceeds has been monetized) be applied: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash the Senior
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (ii) second, to the payment in full in cash of the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with the Subordinated Loan
Documents, and (iii) thereafter, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. If any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral produces non-cash Proceeds, or if non-cash Proceeds are
received pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 4(e), then the Senior Creditors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to hold such non-cash Proceeds as additional Collateral and, at such time as such non-cash Proceeds
are monetized, shall be applied as set forth above. 

  
 25 







 10. Representations. Each Senior Creditor represents and warrants to Subordinated Creditor
and the other Subordinated Claimholders that (i) it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute the
valid and legally binding obligation of Senior Creditors enforceable against such Senior Creditors in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar

principles. 
 11. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any party
hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Claimholders) and Subordinated Creditor (for itself and on behalf of the other Subordinated Claimholders), and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

modified from time to time, the “Subordination Agreement”), by and among PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“PNC”) and each other Senior Claimholder from time to time (as such terms are defined in the Subordination
Agreement), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Subordinated Creditor”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Subordination Agreement and this [promissory note]/[instrument]/[agreement], the terms of the
Subordination Agreement shall govern and control.”

nonpayment of the Senior Obligations and agrees that Subordinated Creditor and the other Subordinated Claimholders have and shall have no duty to advise any Senior Claimholder of information
known to Subordinated Creditor or any other Subordinated Claimholder regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event that Subordinated Claimholder, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any
such information to Agent, then such Subordinated Claimholder shall not be under any obligation (i) to provide any such information to Agent on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or (iii) to disclose any
information which, pursuant to its commercial finance practices, such Subordinated Claimholder wishes to maintain confidential. Agent, for itself and the other Senior Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that neither Subordinated Creditor nor any

15. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Senior Creditor, the other Senior Claimholders, Subordinated
Creditor, and the other Subordinated Claimholders, and no other Person (including any Obligor) is intended to be a third party beneficiary hereunder. Senior Creditors and Subordinated Creditor shall have the right to modify or terminate this
Agreement at any time without notice to or approval of any Obligor or any other Person (other than, in the case of Senior Creditor, the requisite Senior Claimholders under the Senior Credit Agreement, and in the case of Subordinated Creditor, the
requisite Subordinated Claimholders under the Indenture).

 17. Purchase Option. 

(a) If there is (i) an acceleration of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the Senior Credit Agreement, (ii) an Event of
Default arising from the failure of the Company to make any payment in respect of principal, interest or fees (other than administrative agency or collateral agency fees) under the Senior Credit Agreement that is not waived by the Senior Creditors
within 60 days of its occurrence, or (iii) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding (each a “Purchase Event”), then Subordinated Claimholders may, within 10 Business Days of any such Purchase Event, and not afterwards,
deliver a Purchase Notice (as defined below) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Senior Obligations and unfunded commitments under the Senior Loan Documents that if funded would constitute Senior Obligations (collectively, the
“Purchase Obligations”) for the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything in the Senior Loan Documents to the contrary, no consent of any Obligor to such purchase shall be required. Such purchase will (1) include all principal
of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and expenses in respect of, all Senior Obligations, and all other Senior Obligations and unfunded commitments under the Senior Loan Documents that if funded would constitute Senior Obligations,
outstanding at the time of purchase, (2) be made pursuant to an “Assignment” (as such term is defined in the Senior Credit Agreement, but including only those representations and warranties of the Assignor thereunder as are specified
in Section 17(b)), whereby the Subordinated Claimholders will assume all funding commitments and Senior Obligations of the Senior Creditors under the Senior Loan Documents, and (3) otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section 17. Each Senior Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant Senior Loan Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to facts and circumstances relating to such Senior
Claimholder’s holdings of the Senior Obligations (except to the extent such claims and other amounts were included in the Purchase Price), and such rights shall be secured by the Liens securing the Senior Obligations. No amendment, modification
or waiver following any purchase under this Section 17 of any indemnification provisions under the Senior Loan Documents shall be effective as to any Senior Claimholder or any Affiliate or officer, director, employee or other related
indemnified person of such Senior Creditor (“Indemnified Senior Person”) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Senior Person, and such indemnification provisions shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of
the Indemnified Senior Persons whether or not any Senior Loan Documents otherwise remain in effect. 
 (b) (1) The Subordinated Claimholders
desiring to purchase all of the Purchase Obligations (the “Purchasing Creditors”) will deliver a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to the Agent in accordance with Section 17(a) above that
(1) is signed by the Purchasing Creditors, (2) states that it is a Purchase Notice under this Section 17, (3) states that each Purchasing Creditor is irrevocably electing to purchase, in accordance with this
Section 17, the percentage of all of the Purchase Obligations stated in the Purchase Notice for that Purchasing Creditor, which percentages must aggregate exactly 100% for all Purchasing Creditors, and (4) designates a purchase date
(the “Purchase Date”) on which the purchase will occur, that is (x) at least 5 but not more than 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of the Purchase Notice, and (y) not more than 20 Business Days after the
Purchase Event. A Purchase Notice will be ineffective if it is received by the Agent after the occurrence giving rise to the Purchase Event is waived, cured, or otherwise ceases to exist. 

  
 29 







 (2) Upon the Agent’s receipt of an effective Purchase Notice conforming to this
Section 17(b), the Purchasing Creditors will be irrevocably obligated to purchase, and the Senior Claimholders will be irrevocably obligated to sell, the Purchase Obligations in accordance with and subject to this Section 17.
If so instructed by the Subordinated Claimholders in the Purchase Notice, the Senior Claimholders shall not complete any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies (other than (1) the exercise of control over any Obligor’s deposit or securities
accounts, (2) the collection of proceeds of accounts and payment intangibles and (3) the termination of the commitment under the Senior Credit Agreement and the refusal to make additional advances thereunder to the extent an Event of
Default then exists or the Agent is otherwise then entitled to do so in accordance with the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement) as long as the purchase and sale of the Purchase Obligations provided for in this Section 17 shall have
closed within 10 Business Days of the Subordinated Claimholder’s delivery of a Purchase Notice to the Senior Creditors and the Senior Creditors shall have received payment in full of the Senior Obligations as provided for in
Section 17 within such 10 Business Day period. 
 (c) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Purchase
Obligations will equal the sum of (i) the principal amount of all loans, advances, or similar extensions of credit included in the Purchase Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn on letters of credit that are Senior Obligations (such
letters of credit, “Letters of Credit”), but excluding the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit), and all accrued and unpaid fees and interest thereon through the Purchase Date (including any acceleration prepayment
penalties or premiums and breakage costs that would be required to be paid to the Senior Creditors if the Senior Obligations were prepaid on the Purchase Date), (ii) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities, and other amounts owed to
the Senior Creditors under the Senior Loan Documents on the Purchase Date, and (iii) amounts according to the good faith estimate of the Agent of contingent obligations in respect of claims which are known to the Agent or Senior Creditors.
After giving effect to the purchase described above, in the event that any Subordinated Claimholder receives any early termination fee, prepayment fee or other similar fee payable pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement within 12 months of the
Purchase Date, then such proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Subordinated Claimholder
hereby authorizes the Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the Agent (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 

(d) On the Purchase Date, (i) the Purchasing Creditors will execute and deliver the Assignment, (ii) the Purchasing Creditors will
pay the Purchase Price to Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (iii) the Purchasing Creditors will deposit with Agent or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds, 103% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all
then outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees that will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity) (subject to reduction in Senior
Creditors’ sole determination), (iv) the Purchasing Creditors will furnish cash collateral to Agent in such amounts as Agent and the applicable Senior Creditors determine is reasonably necessary to secure Senior Creditors in connection
with any Bank Product Obligations (or at the option of Senior Creditors with respect to such Bank Product Obligations, terminate the applicable Bank Product Agreements and make all payments pursuant thereto, as applicable), (v) each of the


  
 30 







 
Purchasing Creditors will execute and deliver to the Agent a waiver and release of, and covenant not to sue in respect of, all claims arising out of this Agreement, the relationship between the
Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Claimholders in connection with the Senior Loan Documents and the Subordinated Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this
Section 17 and (vi) the Subordinated Claimholders will agree to reimburse Senior Creditors for any reasonable and documented loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection
with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding letters of credit, banker’s acceptances or similar instruments as described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Senior
Obligations, and/or as to which Senior Creditors have not yet received final payment. 
 (e) Promptly after the closing of the purchase of
all Purchase Obligations, the Agent will distribute the Purchase Price to the Senior Creditors in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. The Agent will apply cash collateral to reimburse Letter of Credit issuers for drawings under
Letters of Credit, any customary fees charged by the issuer in connection with such draws, and facing or similar fees. When all Letters of Credit have been cancelled with the consent of the beneficiary thereof, expired, or been fully drawn, and
after all payments from the account described above have been made, any remaining cash collateral will be returned to the Purchasing Creditors, as their interests appear. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), the cash collateral is less than the amount owing with respect to a Letter of Credit described in the sentence, then the Purchasing Creditors will, in
proportion to their interests determined as of the time of demand for such reimbursement, promptly reimburse the Agent (who will then pay the applicable Senior Creditors) the amount of the deficiency. 

(f) No Recourse or Warranties; Defaulting Creditors. 

(1) The Senior Creditors will be entitled to rely on the statements, representations, and warranties in the Purchase Notice without
investigation, even if the Senior Creditors are notified that any such statement, representation, or warranty is not or may not be true. 

(2) The purchase and sale of the Purchase Obligations under this Section 17 will be without recourse and without any
representation or warranty whatsoever by the Senior Creditors, except that the Senior Creditors shall represent and warrant that on the Purchase Date, immediately before giving effect to the purchase, the Senior Creditors own the Purchase
Obligations free and clear of all Liens. 
 (3) The obligations of the Senior Creditors to sell their respective Purchase Obligations under
this Section 17 are several and not joint and several. If a Senior Creditor breaches its obligation to sell its Purchase Obligations under this Section 17 (a “Defaulting Creditor”), no other Senior Creditor
will be obligated to purchase the Defaulting Creditor’s Purchase Obligations for resale to the holders of the Subordinated Obligations. A Senior Creditor that complies with this Section 17 will not be in default of this Agreement or
otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Creditor, provided that nothing in this subsection (c) will affect the Purchasing Creditors’ obligation to purchase all of the Purchase Obligations. 

(4) Each Obligor hereby consents to any assignment effected to one or more Purchasing Creditors pursuant to this Section 17.
