this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

 2     LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 

2.1 Promise to Pay Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan
advanced to Borrower by such Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 

2.2 Term Loan. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, on the
Effective Date to make term loans to Borrower in the aggregate amount equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) according to each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (such term loans are hereinafter
referred to individually and collectively, as the “Term Loan”). After repayment, the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed. 

(b) Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only, in arrears, on the Term Loan commencing
on the first (1st) Payment Date following the Funding
Date of the Term Loan, and continuing on the Payment Date of each successive month thereafter through and including February 1, 2011. Commencing on March 1, 2011, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall
make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest, in arrears, to each Lender, as calculated by Collateral Agent based upon: (1) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined
in Section 2.3(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to thirty (30) months. All unpaid principal and accrued interest with respect to the Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Term Loan may only be prepaid in
accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d). 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. If the Term Loan is accelerated following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal of the Term Loan plus accrued
interest thereon through the prepayment date, (ii) the Deferred Interest Payment, (iii) the Prepayment Fee, plus (iv) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default
Rate with respect to any past due amounts. 
 (d) Permitted Prepayment of the Term Loan. Borrower shall have the option
to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement (provided any partial prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and $1,000,000 increments in excess thereof), provided Borrower








 
(i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of
such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date,
(B) the Deferred Interest Payment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, (C) the Prepayment Fee in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, plus (D) all other sums, that shall have
become due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. 

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions. 

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a
fixed per annum rate (which rate shall be fixed for the duration of the applicable Term Loan) equal to the Basic Rate, determined by Collateral Agent on the Funding Date of the Term Loan, which interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, in
accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(e). Interest shall accrue on the Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall accrue on the Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid.

 (b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall
bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this
Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Collateral Agent. 

(c) Deferred Interest Payment. Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent, for payment to each Lender in accordance with its
respective Pro Rata Share, a deferred interest payment (the “Deferred Interest Payment”) equal to three percent (3.00%) of the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan. The Deferred Interest Payment is fully earned
as of the Effective Date and shall be due and payable on the earliest of (i) of June 30, 2011 or (ii) the prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d). 

(d) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty
(30) days. 
 (e) Debit of Accounts. Collateral Agent and each Lender may debit any of Borrower’s deposit
accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes the Lenders under the Loan Documents when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off. 

(f) Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to the
respective Lender to which such payments are owed, at such Lender’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of
principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other
Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. 

2.4 Secured Promissory Notes. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note in the form attached as Exhibit
D hereto (each a “Secured Promissory Note”), and shall be repayable as set forth herein. Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, on or about the Funding Date of the Term Loan or at the time
of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such
payment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on such 
  

 2 








 
Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or
any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Secured Promissory Note to make payments of principal of or
interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured
Promissory Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor provided that Lender delivers to Borrower an indemnity agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Borrower in the case of loss, theft or destruction. 

2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent: 

(a) Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) to be shared
between the Lenders pursuant to their respective Commitment Percentages; the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the facility fee was paid by Borrower prior to the Effective Date and shall be credited to
each Lender as of the Effective Date; 
 (b) Deferred Interest. The Deferred Interest Payment, when due hereunder, to be
shared among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; 
 (c) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee,
when due hereunder, to be shared among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and 
 (d)
Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (and in the absence of any
other due date specified herein, such Lenders’ Expenses shall be due within five (5) days of demand therefor).

 4     CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower and Guarantor each hereby grants Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower and Guarantor each represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected
security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted by the terms of this agreement to have priority to Collateral Agent’s Lien. If Borrower or Guarantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim (as defined in
the Code) in the United States, Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in a writing signed by Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, of the general details thereof (and further details as may be
required by Collateral Agent) and grant to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent. 
 If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral
Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as the Lenders’ obligation to make
Credit Extensions has terminated, Collateral Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable. 

In the event a licensee of Borrower requires delivery of a non-disturbance agreement as a condition to such licensee
entering into or maintaining a license agreement with Borrower, Collateral Agent agrees to use good faith efforts to reach agreement with the licensee on a form of agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent. 

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file
financing statements or take any other action required to prefect Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, without notice to Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect
Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, by either Borrower, Guarantor, or any other
Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser
scope, or with greater detail, all in Collateral Agent’s discretion, provided that such financing statements shall note the assets excluded from Collateral Agent’s security interest as specified on Exhibit A hereto. 

5     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Borrower and Guarantor represent and warrant to Collateral Agent and the Lenders as follows at all times (unless expressly provided
below) until the Obligations have been paid in full and Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit to Borrower: 

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization: Power and Authority. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and Borrower is
in good standing (to the extent the concept of “good standing” exists under applicable law) in its jurisdiction of organization, and Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing (to
the extent the concept of “good standing” exists under applicable law) in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower and Guarantor have delivered to Collateral Agent a completed perfection certificate signed by an officer of Borrower
and Guarantor, respectively (the “Perfection Certificates”). Borrower and Guarantor represent and warrant that (a) Borrower’s/Guarantor’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificates and on the
signature page hereof; (b) Borrower/Guarantor is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificates; (c) the Perfection Certificates accurately set forth
Borrower’s/Guarantor’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower/Guarantor has none; (d) the Perfection Certificates accurately set forth 

 

 5 








 
Borrower’s/Guarantor’s principal place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s/Guarantor’s mailing address (if different than its
chief executive office); (e) Borrower/Guarantor (and each of their respective predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of organization, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number
assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificates pertaining to Borrower/Guarantor and each of Borrower’s Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being
understood and agreed that Borrower/Guarantor may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificates after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower,
Guarantor or any Subsidiary is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Collateral Agent of such occurrence and provide Collateral Agent with such Person’s organizational identification number
within five (5) Business Days of receiving such organizational identification number. 
 The execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which they are respectively a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s organizational documents, including the
Operating Documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower, Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental
Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except (a) such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained or which are in the process of being obtained and are in full force and effect, (b) filings of initial financing statements
in the appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the security interest granted herein, and (c) such as may be required under state ‘blue sky” laws) or are being obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b), or (v) constitute an event of
default under any material agreement by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties is bound. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets is
bound in which such default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 

5.2 Collateral. 

(a) Borrower and Guarantor have good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it
purports to grant a Lien or any other security interest under the Loan Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens, and, except for (i) the securities account in which the Pledged ARS are held and (ii) the Trust
and Escrow Accounts, neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or other investment accounts other than the Collateral Accounts or the other investment accounts, if any, described in the
Perfection Certificates delivered to Collateral Agent in connection herewith with respect of which Borrower or Guarantor has given Collateral Agent notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Collateral Agent a perfected security interest
therein. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. 
 (b) On the Effective Date, the Collateral
is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse), except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificates. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as disclosed in the Perfection
Certificates on the Effective Date or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the Effective Date, intends to store or otherwise deliver to a bailee any portion of the Collateral having a value of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) or greater, then Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, will first receive the written consent of Collateral Agent and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Collateral Agent. 
 (c) All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

 (d) Borrower and Guarantor are the sole owners of the Intellectual Property each respectively purports to own, except for
non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s Patents is valid and enforceable and no part of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Intellectual Property has been
judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s knowledge, no claim has been made that the Intellectual Property or any practice by Borrower or Guarantor violates the rights of any third
party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to 
  

 6 








 
have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or Guarantor’s business. Except as noted on the Perfection Certificates, neither Borrower nor Guarantor is a party to, nor is bound
by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower or Guarantor is the licensee that (i) prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower or Guarantor from granting a security interest in Borrower’s or Guarantor’s
interest in such license or agreement or any other property, or (ii) for which a default under or termination of could interfere with Collateral Agent’s right to sell any Collateral. Borrower and Guarantor shall provide written notice to
Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower and Guarantor shall take such steps as Collateral
Agent requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) all such licenses or agreements to be deemed “Collateral” and for Collateral Agent to have a security interest in it that
might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Collateral Agent shall have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any
Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

5.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificates, there are no actions, suits, investigations, or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries involving more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). 

5.4 No Material Deterioration in Financial Condition; Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and
its Subsidiaries delivered to Collateral Agent fairly present, in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. There has not
been any material deterioration in the consolidated financial condition of Borrower or its Subsidiaries since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Collateral Agent. 

5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value
of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. The fair salable value of Guarantor’s assets
(including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Guarantor is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Guarantor is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as
they mature. 
 5.6 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not required to register as an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in
all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a
“holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or
transporting any hazardous substance other than in material compliance with applicable laws. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all
notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted. 

None of Borrower, Guarantor or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective agents acting or benefiting in any
capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is (i) in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (ii) engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or
avoiding or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) is a Blocked Person. Neither Borrower, Guarantor nor, to the knowledge of Borrower and Guarantor, any of their Affiliates or agents acting or
benefiting in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (x) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person,
or (y) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224, any similar executive order or other Anti-Terrorism Law.

shares, partnership interests or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 
 5.8 Tax Returns and Payments;
Pension Contributions. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all foreign, federal, state, and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions
owed by Borrower and its Subsidiaries in all jurisdictions in which Borrower or its Subsidiaries are subject to taxes, including the United States unless such taxes are being contested in accordance with the following sentence. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower or Guarantor or such Subsidiary (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (b) notifies Collateral Agent in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, any proceedings, and (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such
contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower and Guarantor are unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower or its Subsidiaries prior tax years which
could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with
their terms, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably
be expected to result in any liability of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 

5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general
business requirements in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. 

5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement
given to Collateral Agent or any Lender, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Collateral Agent or any Lender, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and
based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

Borrower shall do all of the following: 

6.1 Government Compliance. 

(a) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of organization and
maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations in each case to the extent that the applicable jurisdiction
recognizes the concept of good standing. Borrower and Guarantor shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, the noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 
 (b) Obtain and keep in full force and effect, all of the Governmental
Approvals necessary for the performance by Borrower and Guarantor of their obligations under the Loan Documents and the grant of a security interest to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in all of the Collateral. Borrower and

considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent requests and make it available in a location as Collateral Agent reasonably designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain
possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy
any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;

law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the
right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written consent of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “Exigent
Circumstance” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent, imminently threatens the ability of Collateral Agent to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation,
fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrower after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Collateral
Agent, could reasonably be expected to result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral. 
 9.2 Power of
Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other
forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for
amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim
in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer 

 

 16 








 
the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits. Borrower hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign
Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in
full and Collateral Agent and the Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates. 

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any
premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are
Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such
insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any
Event of Default. 
 9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent
from or on behalf of Borrower of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrower on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any
and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Lenders Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to
Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted
prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant
thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share
unless expressly provided otherwise. Collateral Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Term Loan and the
ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their
scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to Collateral Agent or other Lenders such
sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Collateral Agent. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender
in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for, and shall be promptly paid over to, the other Lender for application to the
payments of amounts due on the other Lender’s claims. To the extent any payment for the account of Borrower is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure
that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for Collateral Agent and other Lenders for purposes of perfecting
Collateral Agent’s security interest therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any warrants issued to the Lenders by Borrower, the stock issuable thereunder, any equity securities purchased by Lenders, any amounts paid
thereunder, any dividends, and any other rights in connection therewith shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall affect any Lender’s rights under any such warrants, stock, or other equity
securities to administer, manage, transfer, assign, or exercise such warrants, stock, or other equity securities for its own account. 
  

 17 








 9.5 Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders
comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 
 9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Collateral Agent’s
failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and
compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. Collateral Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and
Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 

9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice
of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent on which Borrower is liable.

 10     NOTICES 

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication (collectively, “Communication”) by any party

CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER 
 The Loan Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State
of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
9.1) DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any
action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable
relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by
registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three
(3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, proper postage prepaid. 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT, AND LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 
  

 19 








 12     GENERAL PROVISIONS 

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each
party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Collateral Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Collateral Agent’s discretion, subject to Section 12.6). The
Lenders have the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Lenders’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents provided, however, that any such sale, assignment, negotiation or grant of a participation by any Lender (other than a sale or assignment to an Eligible Assignee) of its obligations, rights, and benefits
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall require the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such approved assignee, an “Approved Lender”). Borrower and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until Collateral Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto,
and shall have received such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee or Approved Lender as Collateral Agent reasonably shall require. 

12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Collateral Agent and the Lenders and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Collateral Agent or the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and
liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Lenders’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Indemnified Person from,
following, or arising from transactions between Collateral Agent, and/or the Lenders and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower hereby further indemnifies, defends and holds each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs,
expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or
not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of Borrower, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical
personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Collateral Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds.  

12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement. 

12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the
enforceability of any provision. 
 12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Collateral Agent and the Lenders may, with notice
to Borrower, correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties. 

12.6 Amendments in Writing; Integration. (a) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by Borrower or Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower, Guarantor,
Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders provided that 
 (i) no such amendment, waiver or other modification that would have
the effect of increasing or reducing a Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Commitment Percentage shall be effective as to such Lender without such Lender’s written consent; 

 

 20 








 (ii) no such amendment, waiver or modification that would affect the rights and duties of
Collateral Agent shall be effective without Collateral Agent’s written consent or signature; 
 (iii) no such amendment,
waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any Term Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default
interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Term Loan (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment of principal of any Term Loan or of interest on any Term Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided
for hereunder (other than late charges or for any termination of any commitment); (C) change the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder;
(D) release all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral, authorize Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral or release any Guarantor of all or any portion
of the Obligations or its guaranty obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be expressly permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including in connection with any
disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.6 or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.6 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.6;
(F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by Borrower or Guarantor of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document or release Borrower or Guarantor of its payment obligations under any Loan Document, except, in
each case with respect to this clause (F), pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted pursuant to this Agreement; (G) amend any of the provisions of Section 9.4 or amend any of the definitions Pro Rata Share, Term Loan Commitment,
Commitment Percentage or that provide for the Lenders to receive their Pro Rata Shares of any fees, payments, setoffs or proceeds of Collateral hereunder; (H) subordinate the Liens granted in favor of Collateral Agent securing the Obligations;
or (I) amend any of the provisions of Section 12.10. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C),
(D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) of the preceding sentence; 
 (iv) the provisions of the foregoing clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) are subject to the provisions of any interlender or agency agreement among the Lenders and Collateral Agent pursuant to which any Lender may agree to give its consent in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification
of the Loan Documents only in the event of the unanimous agreement of all Lenders. 
 (b) Other than as expressly provided
for in Section 12.6(a)(i)-(iii), Collateral Agent may, if requested by the Required Lenders, from time to time designate covenants in this Agreement less restrictive by notification to a representative of the Borrower. 

(c) This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or
agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. 

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts,
each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. 
 12.8
Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other
obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify each Lender and Collateral Agent shall survive until the statute of limitations
with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run. 
 12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential
information of Borrower, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for their own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to the Lenders’ and Collateral
Agent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall use

  

 21 








 
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or
other order; (d) to Lenders’ or Collateral Agent’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with an examination or audit; (e) as Collateral Agent considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and
(f) to third party service providers of the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with the Lenders and Collateral Agent with terms no less restrictive than those contained
herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Lenders’ and/or Collateral Agent’s possession when disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent, or becomes part of
the public domain after disclosure to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent; or (ii) is disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent by a third party, if the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent does not know that the third party is prohibited
from disclosing the information. 
 12.10 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent and to each
Lender, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Collateral Agent and each Lender hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or
hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Collateral Agent or the Lenders or any entity under the control of Collateral Agent or the Lenders (including a Collateral Agent affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Collateral Agent or the Lenders may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though
unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO
EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 

13     COLLATERAL AGENT 

13.1 Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes
Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 13.2 Delegation of
Duties. Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of
counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct. 
 13.3 Liability of Collateral Agent. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Collateral
Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any officer
thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Collateral Agent-Related 
  

 22 








 
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof. 

13.4 Reliance by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Collateral
Agent. Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of all Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 13.5 Notice of Default. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any default and/or Event of Default, unless Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower, describing such default or Event of Default. Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.
Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as may be directed in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 9(a); provided, however, that while an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as Collateral Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders,
including without limitation, satisfaction of other security interests, liens or encumbrances on the Collateral not permitted under the Loan Documents, payment of taxes on behalf of Borrower, payments to landlords, warehouseman, bailees and other
persons in possession of the Collateral and other actions to protect and safeguard the Collateral, and actions with respect to insurance claims for casualty events affecting Borrower and/or the Collateral. 

13.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Collateral Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Collateral
Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Collateral Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Collateral Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own
decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Collateral Agent herein,
Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of
its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Collateral Agent-Related Person. 
 13.7 Indemnification of
Collateral Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify upon demand each Collateral Agent-Related Person (to the extent
not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and hold harmless each Collateral Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Claims (which shall not include legal expenses of Collateral
Agent incurred in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any 

 

 23 








 
Collateral Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Collateral
Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section 13.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, reimburse Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including Lenders’ Expenses incurred after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent, and not as a Lender) in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of Collateral Agent. 
 13.8 Collateral Agent in
its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Credit Extensions, Oxford shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Collateral Agent, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” include Oxford in its individual capacity. 
 13.9 Successor Collateral
Agent. Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders. If Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, all Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or the affiliates thereof) a
successor Collateral Agent for the Lenders, which successor Collateral Agent shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the approval of Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If
no successor Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Collateral Agent from among the Lenders (or the affiliates
thereof). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Collateral Agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the respective
term “Collateral Agent” means such successor Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any
retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 13 and Sections 2.3(d) and 12.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent
under this Agreement. If no successor Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date ten (10) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation
