***DIP Credit Agreement***

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on June 13, 2025, the Company, as borrower (the "DIP Borrower"), and certain subsidiaries of the borrower from time to time party thereto, including the other Debtors, as guarantors (together with the DIP Borrower, the "Loan Parties") entered into that certain Superpriority Senior Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "DIP Lenders") and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, on the terms and conditions set forth therein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this "DIP Credit Agreement" section of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") shall have the meanings given to them in the DIP Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement, the DIP Lenders have agreed, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, to make available to the DIP Borrower loans (the "DIP Loans") pursuant to a $90 million senior secured debtor-in-possession term loan credit facility (the "DIP Facility"), which shall consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)$15 million of DIP Loans which shall be funded upon entry of the Interim DIP Order (the "DIP Interim Funding Date"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b)$75 million of DIP Loans which shall be funded upon entry of the Final DIP Order (the "DIP Final Funding Date").

The DIP Loans will be used, in accordance with the DIP Orders, the Loan Documents and the Approved Budget to (i) pay obligations arising from or related to the Carve Out and Wind-Down Budget, (ii) pay certain costs, fees, and expenses, and (iii) fund the working capital needs and expenditures of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases, including to fund the costs of the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Borrowings under the DIP Facility will bear interest at the rate of 12.00%. Interest on the DIP Facility is payable in-kind. In addition, the DIP Borrower agreed to pay a funding fee (the "Funding Fee") which shall be payable on (i) the DIP Interim Funding Date and (ii) the DIP Final Funding Date, in each case, in an amount equal to 12.00% of the aggregate amount of the DIP Loans actually funded to the Borrower on such date with the Funding Fee payable paid-in-kind.

The DIP Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties excluding any Excluded Property.

The DIP Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants for debtor-in-possession loan agreements of this type, including covenants limiting the Loan Parties and their restricted subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, advances or guarantees, engage in mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions, use the proceeds of the DIP Facility for any purpose not permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement, and pay dividends and distributions, in each case subject to customary exceptions for debtor-in-possession loan agreements of this type. The DIP Credit Agreement also includes representations and warranties, mandatory prepayments, affirmative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type. Certain bankruptcy-related events are also events of default, including, but not limited to, the dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the appointment of a trustee pursuant to Chapter 11, and certain other events related to the impairment of the DIP Lenders' rights or liens granted under the DIP Credit Agreement, including the noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms of the Interim DIP Order or Final DIP Order.

The DIP Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of September 22, 2025 (the "Scheduled Maturity Date"). The DIP Credit Agreement will also terminate and all obligations thereunder will become due on the date that is the earliest of the following (i) the Scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) Plan Effective Date, (iii) the date of termination of the Lenders' commitments and the acceleration of any outstanding Loans under the Loan Documents, (iv) the date of dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases, conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or appointment of an examiner with expanded powers by the Bankruptcy Court and (v) the date that is 30 days after the Petition Date or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) unless the Final DIP Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to such date.

32 Section 2.05(a) shall be applied ratably to the applicable Class of Loans included in the prepaid borrowing. Optional prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.09 and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.08. Section 2.06 Promissory Note. The Loan may, if requested in writing by the applicable Lender through the Administrative Agent, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes of the Borrower, in each case substantially in the form of Exhibit F.

(a) On terms and subject to conditions to be agreed by the Lenders, the Lenders may make assignments of a portion of their respective Loans in their respective discretion to allow for (i) certain holders of Existing Senior Notes and (ii) certain holders of Existing Convertible Notes (collectively, the "Eligible Additional Lenders" and the date of such assignment, the "Reallocation Date") to become parties to this Agreement as Lenders, with such reallocations to be effected pursuant to a Master Assignment and Acceptance. (b) The Lenders, each Eligible Additional Lender that elects to become a Lender (the "Additional Lenders"), and the Company agree that (i) on the Reallocation Date, the Company and the Lenders and Additional Lenders (constituting Required Lenders) authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to update the Register on the Reallocation Date to reflect the assignments pursuant to Section 2.07(a) (as to be set forth in the Master Assignment and Acceptance), (ii) with respect to each Lender that is assigning a portion of its Loans in accordance with Section 2.07(a), the assignment pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall constitute a payment in full by the Additional Lenders of the reallocated and/or assigned portion of such Lender's Loans, (iii) with respect to each Additional Lender that is acquiring Loans, the assignment pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall result in such Additional Lender having the assigned outstanding Loans and (iv) each Additional Lender shall make the payments for the Loans reallocated and/or assigned to such Additional Lender in the amounts as to be set forth in the Master Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute all funds so received to the Lenders in accordance with the Master Assignment and Acceptance in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment shall be effective until (i) each applicable Additional Lender has made such payments, (ii) the Administrative Agent has received from each Additional Lender an Administrative Questionnaire and all information necessary to satisfy the Administrative Agent's "know your customer" requirements, including its formation document and applicable tax form, and (iii) the Administrative Agent has received, for its own account, payment of the disbursement fee set forth in the Master Assignment and Acceptance. Any interest accrued from the Closing Date to and including the Reallocation Date shall be assigned and included in the calculation of the applicable consideration for such assignment (it being understood that such interest shall remain accrued and unpaid interest for all purposes hereunder) and such consideration shall be paid in cash by each applicable Additional Lender. Section 2.08 Discounts, Fees and Payment of DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses. (a) Funding Fee. As consideration for the funding of the Loans by the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to the DIP Facility, the Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent (for the account of each applicable Lender) a funding fee (the "Funding Fee"), which fee shall be fully earned (subject to the actual funding of the applicable Loans) upon entry of the Interim DIP Order and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a DIP Superpriority Claim (as defined in the DIP Orders) on account thereof, but shall only be payable on (i) the DIP Interim Funding Date and (ii) the DIP Final Funding Date, in each case, in an amount equal to 12.00% of the aggregate amount of the Loans actually funded to the Borrower on such date (subject to the immediately following sentence), which Funding Fee shall be payable in the form of an increase in the principal amount of Loans funded on such date. Notwithstanding anything herein, the Funding Fee shall never apply to any unfunded Commitment amount. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any payment of any Funding Fee under this Section 2.08, such paid Funding Fee shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 33 (b) DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses.

The aggregate amount of DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses which shall be required to be paid on the DIP Interim Funding Date shall not exceed $5,000,000, provided that this limitation shall not limit the amount of DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses otherwise payable hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.08, regardless of whether such DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses were incurred prior to or after the DIP Interim Funding Date. (ii) For the avoidance of doubt the obligation of the Borrower to pay the DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses on each DIP Lender Professional Fees and Expenses Payment Date in accordance with this Section 2.08(b) shall be fully earned upon the entry of the Interim DIP Order and shall be entitled to a DIP Superpriority Claim (as defined in the DIP Orders) on account thereof.

(c) Exit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, an exit fee equal to three percent (3.00%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans actually funded hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any amount of interest paid-in- kind or any other amount constituting capitalized obligations), which fee shall be fully earned and non- refundable upon execution of this Agreement (the "Exit Fee"). Subject to Section 1.07, the Exit Fee shall be due and payable in cash to each Lender that is then holding a Loan upon the earlier of (i) the acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with Article VII and (ii) the occurrence of the Maturity Date; provided that the Exit Fee shall not be payable to the extent the Lenders credit bid the outstanding principal amount of the Loans under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code to acquire all or substantially all of the Debtors' assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. It is understood and agreed that if the Loans are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Exit Fee determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Loans were prepaid and/or the Commitments were terminated as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. (d) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Agent, fees payable in the amounts and on the dates separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and such Agents, including pursuant to the Fee Letter, and (ii) such other fees as separately agreed upon in writing to be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders (after giving effect to paragraph (a) above).

Fees or premiums paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 34 Section 2.09 Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. Subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.09(b), the Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Capitalized Amount) at the PIK Rate on each Interest Payment Date to the date of repayment thereof. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan (and at such other times as may be specified herein) and shall be Paid in Kind. (b) Default Interest. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate (in lieu of the PIK Rate) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full or such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived (as applicable), and such interest shall be payable in kind and capitalized on the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and in each case for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the avoidance of doubt, no date of payment shall be included in any computation. Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment of interest on any Class of Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding principal amount of such Class of Loans, including all accrued and unpaid interest that has been added to such principal amount pursuant to Section 2.09. Section 2.12 Sharing of Setoffs. (a) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any Class of Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Class of Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Class of Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Class of Loans, provided that: (i) if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.12(a) shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. (b) The Borrower consents to the foregoing participations and sub-participations. Section 2.13 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy Adjustment. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, the Lenders; 35 (ii) impose on the Lenders any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by the Lenders; or (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than any (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its loans or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lenders or other Recipient of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lenders or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of the Lenders or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to the Lenders or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lenders or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. (b) A certificate of the Lenders setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lenders as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lenders the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (c) Failure or delay on the part of the Lenders to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of the Lender's or intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (d) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable and specific detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.13(d), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Section 2.14 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding

36 and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority, or cause the payment, in accordance with applicable law, or, at the option of the Lenders timely reimburse them, as applicable, for the payment of any Other Taxes.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Status of Lender. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(e)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) and 2.14(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be 37 requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such 38 documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. The Lenders agree that if any form or certification previously delivered (including any specific documentation required in this Section 2.14(e)) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the applicable Lender shall deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.14(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.14(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. (g) Status of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall assume primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 and Form 1042-S reporting and backup withholding responsibility with respect to payments it receives on account of any Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person it shall deliver to the Borrower two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from federal backup withholding and (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person it shall deliver to the Borrower two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received on its own behalf and, with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) certifying that the Administrative Agent is either (a) a "qualified intermediary" assuming primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility for payments it receives for the accounts of others, or (b) a "U.S. branch" and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and in each of clause (a) and (b), that the Administrative Agent is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments. (h) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan 39 Document, and any reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). (i) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agents or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. Section 2.15 Payments Generally. (a) Subject to Section 2.09(a), the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, on or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds (to the extent required hereby), without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders any such payment received by it for the account of the Lenders promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by (and are available to) the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, premiums and/or fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest, premiums and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, premiums and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. (c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. (d) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, have timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in

40 immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, it being understood that nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder; and (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the applicable borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at the interest rate applicable to such Loan. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(a) All written information, including any information contained in any Loan Document (including all schedules, exhibits, annexes and other attachments), documents, reports or other written information pertaining to the Company Parties, together with all written updates of such information from time to time (collectively, the "Information"), that have been furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender (or their advisors) are, as of the date such Information was so furnished as supplemented or updated from time to time (it being understood, without limitation, that the disclosures under the schedules to this Agreement, except where updated in accordance with this Agreement, are furnished as of the Closing Date) and taken as a whole, together with all information that has been publicly disclosed by the Company (on behalf of itself or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to the date hereof, true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which such Information was so furnished as supplemented or updated from time to time.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.

(a) The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and their duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. The permissive rights of the Agents to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, neither Agent shall be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent: (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law, provided, further, that no Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by reason of taking or omitting to take any such action; (iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; (iv) shall be responsible for the preparation or filing of any UCC financing statement, continuation statement, termination statement or amendment thereto or for the correctness of any financing statement, continuation statement, termination statement or amendment thereto filed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) shall be required to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder; 77 (vi) shall be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, inability to obtain material, equipment, or communications or computer facilities, or the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, malware or ransomware attack, disease, epidemic or pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, utility failure, and other causes beyond its control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above; and (vii) shall have any duty or obligation to monitor, enforce or determine compliance with EU Risk Retention Rules or U.S. Risk Retention Rules relating to the Borrower. (b) Neither Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by such Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the direction of the Required Lenders shall be binding on all Lenders. The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Agents by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or a Lender, and such notice references this Agreement and states that it is a notice of Default. (c) Neither Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or to verify any calculations or amounts set forth therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Collateral or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Person. (d) Prior to acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document, each Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent related to such action and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance with such certificate and/or opinions. Each 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 the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be required hereby or by any other applicable Loan Document). If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be required hereby or by any other applicable Loan Document) with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. 78 (e) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by an Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by an Agent, it is understood that in all cases such Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document) in respect of such action. Section 8.05 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any resolution, opinion, report, direction, consent, order, judgment, decree, notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of any Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Section 8.06 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Section 8.07 Resignation of Agent; Merger or Consolidation. (a) Either Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "Resignation Effective Date"), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed (and whether or not the Borrower has provided such consent), such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and shall deliver, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents to the Lenders at the address specified in Section 10.01 or as otherwise specified by the Lenders to the Agent in writing and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring 79 Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent. (c) Any corporation or association into which an Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which an Agent is a party, will be and become the successor to such Agent under this Agreement and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act. Section 8.08 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Section 8.09 Agents May File Proofs of Claim. (a) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to SEI or any of its Subsidiaries, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (iii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agents and, in the event that the Agents shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Section 10.03.

80 (b) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Section 8.10 Collateral Matters. (a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.09, each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of, or to be sold or otherwise disposed of, as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 8.10(a), the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the security interest granted hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.10(a). Upon the request of the Collateral Agent in connection with any release of Liens requested by the Borrower pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 8.10(a), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and that such release is permitted hereby (and the Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to rely on such certificate). (b) No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or the perfection of any Lien thereon. (c) The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Lenders shall be permitted to assign all or portion of the Loans to the one or more of the Purchasers (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to effectuate the transactions (including the credit bid) contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; provided that the Lenders shall provide notice to the Company in writing two (2) Business Days prior to effectuating any such assignment. ARTICLE IX GUARANTY Section 9.01 Guarantee of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, in each case, whether such Obligations are now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document, and whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended, increased or renewed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, without notice to, or further assent from, such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension, increase, renewal, amendment or modification of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives promptness, presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. 81 Section 9.02 Guarantee of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar debtor relief laws shall have stayed the accrual of collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Agents to any Collateral or other security held for the payment of any of the Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agents or any Lenders in favor of any other Guarantor or any other Person. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Any payment required to be made by a Guarantor hereunder may be required by the Administrative Agent on any number of occasions (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication). Section 9.03 No Limitations. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations, or otherwise, other than the payment in full of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except for termination or release of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder (but without prejudice to Section 9.04), the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by, (i) the failure of the Agents or any other Person to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (iii) the release of, or any impairment of any security held by the Agents for the Obligations, (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, (v) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of the Agents, (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party, the lack of legal existence of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations by the Borrower or any other Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party, (vii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that any Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Agents, any Lenders or any other Person, whether in connection with the Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any unrelated transaction, (viii) this Agreement having been determined (on whatsoever grounds) to be invalid, non-binding or unenforceable against any other Guarantor ab initio or at any time after the Closing Date, or 82 (ix) any other circumstance (including statute of limitations), any act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense to, or discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety as a matter of law or equity. (b) Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Agents, to the extent permitted hereunder, to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion, to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations and to take any other action permitted hereunder all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law. (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except for termination or release of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder (but without prejudice to Section 9.04), each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The Agents may, as permitted hereunder, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Termination Conditions have been satisfied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all suretyship defenses. Section 9.04 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Agents or any Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization (or any analogous proceeding in any jurisdiction) of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or otherwise, and (b) the provisions of this Section 9.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 9.05 Agreement to Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Agent has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether an amortization payment, at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, subject to Section 1.07 each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Lenders in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03 of this Agreement. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 9.07. Section 9.06 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's and each other Guarantor's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the 83 risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agents or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. Section 9.07 Indemnity; Subrogation and Subordination. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any Obligations, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payments that must be made in order for the satisfy the Obligations in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Borrower or any other Guarantor in violation of the foregoing restrictions on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Guarantor shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans or other advances made to another Loan Party under this Agreement (an "Accommodation Payment"), then the Guarantor making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors in an amount equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Guarantors' Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Guarantors; provided that such rights of contribution and indemnification shall be subordinated to the prior payment of the payments that must be made in order for the Termination Conditions to be satisfied. As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of each Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Guarantor hereunder and under this Agreement. Section 9.08 Obligation Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights of the Agents hereunder and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) subject only to termination or release of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder, but without prejudice to reinstatement rights under Section 9.04, any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) subject only to termination or release of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder, but without prejudice to reinstatement rights under Section 9.04, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement. Section 9.09 Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Guarantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Guarantor contained herein, in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor and each applicable Lender that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which shall mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as such as set forth in Section 10.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as "Public Investor;" and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as "Public Investor". (e) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the "Private Side Information" or similar designation on the content declaration 86 screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender's compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the "Public Side Information" portion of the Platform and that may contain information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. (f) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER'S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Agents or the Lenders in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any promissory note or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power hereunder or under any promissory note, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agents or the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. (b) Except as provided in Section 10.02(c) and 10.19, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any term, condition or provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the relevant Loan Parties, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (to the extent this Agreement specifies that the consent of the Administrative Agent is required), in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders, the Loan Parties that are parties thereto and the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, in the case of any Collateral Document) (to the extent the relevant Loan Documents specifies that the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is required); provided that no agreement, amendment, waiver or consent shall: 87 (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees; or increase the amount of any Lender's Commitment or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.02 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) amend, change or modify any pro rata or sharing requirements of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (iv) change the payment waterfall provision of Article VII or otherwise subordinate any of the Obligations without the written consent of each affected Lender; (v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; (vi) release all or substantially all of the value of the guaranty provided by the Guarantors under the Loan Documents or release any Guarantors from its obligations (except, in each case, in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement or in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document) without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the written consent of all Lenders; (viii) amend, modify, or waive this Agreement or any Loan Documents in a manner that permits the concept of "unrestricted subsidiaries" (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include any subsidiaries that are exempt from covenants or representations and warranties in this Agreement, whether or not labelled as "unrestricted subsidiaries") or otherwise permits the designation of and/or transfer of assets to such unrestricted subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of each Lender; (ix) amend, modify, waive or otherwise affect the rights, protections, immunities, indemnities, duties or obligations of, or any fees or other amounts payable to any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any provision of Article VIII, without the written consent of such Agent; (x) amend or modify the definition of "Required Lenders" without the written consent of all Lenders; (xi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.02 without the written consent of all Lenders; or (xii) subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Liens securing the DIP Facility or any of the Obligations to Liens securing any other Indebtedness or subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Obligations to any other Indebtedness, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender. (c) Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 10.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

88 (d) No agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Fee Letter may be amended or modified in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. To the extent an Agent is not a party thereto, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to any Loan Document promptly following the effectiveness thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments, consents, waivers and extensions permitted under this Section 10.02 may be effectuated via e-mail. Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties jointly and severally hereby agree to promptly pay (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of written demand therefor) (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents (but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the actual reasonable and documented fees, charges and out-of-pocket disbursements of one firm of outside counsel to the Agents (taken as a whole), for the avoidance of doubt such counsel being Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP as primary counsel for the Agent and Agents, and, if necessary, of one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Agents (taken as a whole), , in connection with the structuring and arrangement of the DIP Facility provided for herein and any credit or similar facility refinancing or replacing, in whole or in part, any of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents (but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the actual reasonable and documented fees, charges and out-of-pocket disbursements of one firm of outside counsel to the Agents (taken as a whole), for the avoidance of doubt such counsel being Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP as primary counsel for the Agent and Agents, and, if necessary, of one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Agents (taken as a whole), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or associated with ongoing monitoring of the DIP Facility or the Borrower. (b) The Loan Parties jointly and severally hereby agree to indemnify the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (and any subagent of the foregoing Persons) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee"), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring and arrangement of the DIP Facility provided for herein, the preparation, execution, performance, enforcement, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 2.14), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under to or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or any of the Loan Parties' member or creditors, and regardless of whether such proceeding is initiated against or by any party to this Agreement, or any Affiliate thereof by an 89 Indemnitee or any third party or whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, costs, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non- appealable judgment to have resulted from the fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section shall not apply to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent or Related Party thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or such sub-agent or Related Party thereof), as applicable, ratably according to such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought, or if such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date on which the Loans have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, determined as of the day immediately prior to the date on which the Loans were paid in full and the Commitments terminated) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) in connection with such capacity. Each Lender hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any exclusions from the Borrower's indemnification obligations under Section 10.03(b) for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Indemnitee, no action taken (or not taken) by any Agent or any sub-agent or Related Party thereof in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be provided by this Agreement or any other Loan Document) shall be deemed to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct for the purposes of the Lenders' payment and indemnification obligations under this paragraph. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.15(c). For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall mean, with respect to any Lender at any time, a fraction, the numerator of which is sum of (x) the amount of the aggregate unused Commitments of such Lender at such time and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Lender at such time, and the denominator of which is sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments of all Lenders at such time and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of all Lenders at the time. The agreements in this Section 10.03(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agents or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Loan Party shall not assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties 90 hereto), their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the other Lenders; provided however that: (i) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from a Lender to one or more Approved Funds of such Lender. (ii) From and after the recordation date of each Assignment and Assumption in the Register as provided in Section 10.04(b)(iii) and (iv), the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 10.03). (iii) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and, if the assignee is not an existing Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire, information necessary to satisfy the Administrative Agent's "know your customer" requirements and appropriate tax form, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to such Lender that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for or obligation to determine whether any Lender or prospective Lender is an Eligible Assignee and shall not have any liability for assignments made to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee, and the Borrower, Lenders and each Affiliate thereto agree not to bring any claim to such effect. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its U.S. offices a copy of each Assignment and 91 Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the applicable Lenders, and the applicable Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the applicable Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.04(b)(iv) shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury Regulations). Section 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lenders, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14 and 10.03, 10.09, 10.10, 10.12, 10.21 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (but do not supersede any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lenders or the Agents) that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (e.g., ".pdf" or ".tif") of an executed signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words "execution," "execute", "signed," "signature," and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignments and Assumptions, amendments or other notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper- based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

96 the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.21(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.21(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 10.21(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (d) The parties hereto agree that irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or the existence of any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming, or being deemed to be, a Lender hereunder or the holder of any Loans hereunder. (e) The parties hereto agree that (1) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and (2) to the extent an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as a payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the applicable Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. Further, each party hereto agrees that, in the event a Lender is the recipient of an Erroneous Payment and such Lender fails to return such Erroneous Payment in accordance with Section 10.21(a), then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 10.21(c) until the Administrative Agent has received all amounts owed by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.21(a). (f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. (g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.21 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. Section 10.22 [Reserved]. Section 10.23 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to 97 the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.23 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material Registered Intellectual Property may become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or if it knows of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of such Registered Intellectual Property or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain the same. (b) Whenever a Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark with the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in any similar office or agency of the United States, any State thereof, or any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall promptly report such filing to the Collateral Agent. Upon request of the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders, such Grantor shall execute and deliver an Intellectual Property Security Agreement and any and all other agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent's and the other Secured Parties' security interest in all Registered Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, and such Grantor hereby constitutes the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated; provided that such constitution of the Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent any such obligations, or release or diminish in any respect such Grantor's obligations in respect thereof. (c) Such Grantor shall take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain all material Registered Intellectual Property. (d) In the event that any Grantor obtains knowledge that any material Copyright, Patent or Trademark included in the Collateral is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and shall, unless inconsistent with such Grantor's usual business practice, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or take such other actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Copyright, Patent or Trademark. (e) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) no Grantor shall abandon or otherwise permit any Registered Intellectual Property to become invalid or otherwise terminated and (ii) each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each IP License that constitutes Collateral owned by such Grantor to effect the assignment of all such Grantor's right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or such other Person as may be designated by the Collateral Agent. (f) Each Grantor shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by which any other party to any IP License (i) declares a default by a Grantor of any material term thereunder, (ii) terminates such IP License or (iii) purports to exercise any of its rights, together with a copy of any reply by such Grantor thereto.

Sellers shall provide notice of the motion seeking entry of the Sale Order to all parties to any executory Contracts or unexpired Leases to which a Debtor Seller is a party, and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause such Contracts to be assumed by the applicable Debtor Sellers and assigned to the applicable Purchaser pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such Contracts are Debtor Assigned Contracts at Closing. The Sale Order shall provide that as of and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, the applicable Debtor Sellers shall assume and assign or cause to be assigned to the applicable Purchaser, as applicable, the Debtor Assigned Contracts, each of which shall be identified by the name or appropriate description and date of the Debtor Assigned Contract (if available), the counterparty to the Debtor Assigned Contract and the address of such counterparty for notice purposes, all included in a notice filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

Subject to entry of the Sale Order, at or prior to the Closing (or, in the case of any Contract that is to be assigned following the Closing pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(iii), on or prior to the date of such assignment), (i) Debtors shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Cure Costs, (ii) following satisfaction of clause (i), the applicable Sellers shall assign such Assigned Contracts to the applicable Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and this Agreement, and (iii) following satisfaction of clause (ii), Purchasers shall in due course and in accordance with its respective terms pay and fully satisfy, discharge and perform all of the obligations under each Assigned Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. (b) Excluding or Adding Acquired Assets Prior to Closing. The Parties acknowledge and agree that at the Closing, the Purchasers intend to acquire all assets required to operate the Business except for Excluded Assets expressly set forth in clauses (b)(i), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (d), (b), and (m) of Section 1.2, and to assume solely the Assumed Liabilities. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to take all actions necessary or advisable to transfer all such assets to the applicable Purchaser and for the applicable Purchaser to assume only such Liabilities (and exclude all other Liabilities), effective as of the Closing and for no additional consideration, so that the intention of the Parties as set forth in the preceding sentence is effectuated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.5(b) and Section 1.5(c), each Purchaser shall have the right (unless in a Seller's reasonable judgment doing so would reasonably be expected to result in material and adverse tax consequences to such Seller or any Affiliate thereof) to notify Sellers in writing of (A) any Acquired Asset (including any Assigned Contract or Equity Interests of any Acquired Entity) or Equity Interests of Subsidiaries to be acquired indirectly ("Indirect Equity Interests") that it does not wish to assume or acquire, (B) any Equity Interests of an Excluded Entity or any Contract to which a Seller or Excluded Entity is a party that it wishes to add as an Acquired Asset except for Excluded Assets expressly set forth in clauses (b)(i), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (d), (c), and (m) of Section 1.2, (C) any Assumed Liability (subject to the last sentence of this (b)) that it reasonably and in good faith determines is inconsistent with the first sentence of this Section 1.5(b)) or (D) the corresponding removal of a Seller, or addition of a Person as a Seller, as a party to this Agreement, if applicable, resulting from the changes set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (C), in any case of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D), up to the time the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order and, effective as of the Closing, (i) any such previously considered Acquired Asset or Indirect Equity Interests that such Purchaser no longer wishes to assume or acquire shall be automatically deemed removed as an Acquired Asset or Acquired Entity hereunder (and removed from any applicable Schedules related to such Acquired Asset or Acquired Entity) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, automatically deemed added as an Excluded Asset hereunder (and added to the applicable Schedules related to the Excluded Assets), in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, (ii) any such previously considered Excluded Asset that such Purchaser wishes to assume as an Acquired Asset shall be automatically deemed added as an Acquired Asset hereunder (and added to the applicable Schedules related to Acquired Assets) and, notwithstanding anything to 10 the contrary herein, automatically deemed removed as an Excluded Asset hereunder (and removed from the applicable Schedules related to Excluded Assets), and sold and assigned by Sellers and/or the applicable Excluded Entities to such Purchaser and accepted and assumed by such Purchaser, in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, (iii) any such previously considered Assumed Liability (subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.5(b)) that such Purchaser reasonably and in good faith determines is inconsistent with the first sentence of this Section 1.5(b) shall be automatically deemed removed as an Assumed Liability hereunder and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.5(b)), automatically deemed added as an Excluded Liability hereunder, in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, (iv) any such previously considered Seller that is no longer selling any Acquired Assets or transferring any Assumed Liabilities as a result of Purchasers no longer assuming or acquiring any Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities (subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.5(b)) owned or owing by such Seller, shall be deemed removed from this Agreement as a party hereto; and (v) any such Person that is selling such previously considered Excluded Asset that a Purchaser wishes to assume as an Acquired Asset who is not a party to this Agreement shall be joined as a party to this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchasers. The applicable Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment, performance, and discharge when due of the Liabilities under the Assigned Contracts arising or that are otherwise payable from the time of and after the Closing (or, in the case of an Assigned Contract that is transferred after the Closing, from the time of and after such transfer). Any action of Purchasers permitted under this Section 1.5(b) shall be made in Purchasers' sole and absolute discretion (subject to the terms hereof, including Purchasers' obligation to act reasonably and in good faith to effectuate the first sentence of this Section 1.5(b)). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Purchasers have the right to notify Sellers in writing that any Assumed Liability that is expressly set forth in Section 1.3(a) through Section 1.3(c) (other than those relating to an Assigned Contract that is to be removed in accordance with this Section 1.5) is inconsistent with the first sentence of this Section 1.5(b), or otherwise seek to remove, limit or otherwise modify the Assumed Liabilities as set forth in Section 1.3 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser Assumed Liabilities and the KKR Term Loan Agreement), which the Parties agree are to remain Assumed Liabilities in any event notwithstanding any modifications made pursuant to this Section 1.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchasers have a right to add an Acquired Asset if such asset is (x) (i) already divested or subject to divestment pursuant to the TEP Holdings APA, (ii) with respect to ITCs as contemplated in Section 1.1 or (iii) New Home WIP (or ITCs or related proceeds) as contemplated by Section 1.2(k) or (y) otherwise restricted pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent (A) the structure of any of the Transactions is changed pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) or Section 1.5(c), including in the event a Seller becomes an Acquired Entity, or the Equity Interests in an Acquired Entity are no longer desired to be acquired (directly or indirectly) by Purchasers due to Section 3.8 being inaccurate with respect to such Acquired Entity (other than de minimis inaccuracies), or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and (B) either (I) one or more Purchasers are required to assume any Liabilities as a result of such change in structure other than those specifically enumerated as Assumed Liabilities in Section 1.3 or (II) one or more Purchasers are required to forego acquiring the Equity Interests in an Acquired Entity (directly or indirectly and without acquiring such Acquired Entity's assets), then the Purchase Price will be equitably adjusted to reflect the additional Liabilities that Purchasers are assuming or the exclusion of the Equity 11 Interests in such Acquired Entity, based on a good faith determination of the value of any such Liability or Equity Interests. (c) Non-Assignment. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Contract shall not be an Assigned Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Purchasers to the extent that such Contract is rejected by a Seller or its Affiliates or terminated by a Seller, its Affiliates or any other party thereto, in either case subject to Purchasers reasonable prior consent, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchasers as an Assigned Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (A) an Acquired Asset requires a Consent or Governmental Authorization (other than, and in addition to and determined after giving effect to any order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Sale Order) in order to permit the assignment, sale, or transfer to the applicable Purchaser of the applicable Seller's right, title and interest in and to such asset, (B) no Order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Sale Order, is then in effect that precludes satisfaction of such requirement, and (C) such Consent or Governmental Authorization has not been obtained prior to such time as such right, title and interest is to be assigned, sold, or transferred by Purchasers as an Acquired Asset hereunder, such asset shall not be an Acquired Asset hereunder and shall not be assigned, sold, or transferred to, or received by, Purchasers until either (1) such an Order is in effect or (2) such Consent or Governmental Authorization has been obtained. (iii) If any Acquired Asset is deemed not to be assigned, sold, or, transferred pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i) or Section 1.5(c)(ii) or cannot otherwise be assigned, sold or transferred to a Purchaser for any other reason outside of Purchasers' control (including if such assignment, sale or transfer would be a violation of Law), the Closing shall nonetheless take place subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In such event and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the Acquired Assets that are not transferred at Closing based on a good faith determination of the value of any such Acquired Asset. Thereafter, through the earliest of (A) such time as such Consent or Governmental Authorization is obtained or such restriction prohibiting the assignment, sale or transfer of such Acquired Asset is removed, (B) such time as such an Order is in effect, (C) in the case of an Assigned Contract, the expiration of the term of such Contract in accordance with its current term or the execution of a replacement Contract by Purchasers or its Affiliate, and (D) the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases or dissolution of the applicable Seller(s), Sellers and Purchasers shall (1) use reasonable best efforts to secure such Consent or Governmental Authorization or Order or otherwise remove such restrictions prohibiting the transfer of such Acquired Assets as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (2) cooperate in

12 good faith in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement by Purchasers and such Seller, including subcontracting, licensing, or sublicensing to Purchasers any or all of any Seller's rights and obligations with respect to any such Acquired Asset, under which (x) Purchasers shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any Law) the economic rights and benefits with respect to which Consent or Governmental Authorization has not been obtained, and (y) Purchasers shall assume and timely discharge any related burden and obligation with respect to such Acquired Asset. Upon the effectiveness of such Order or satisfying any requisite Consent or Governmental Authorization requirement applicable to, or otherwise removing such restrictions prohibiting the transfer of, such Acquired Assets after the Closing, the applicable Sellers shall transfer to the applicable Purchaser and such Purchaser shall accept such Seller's right, title, and interest in and to such Acquired Asset to such Purchaser, and such Purchaser shall pay to such Seller the portion of the Purchase Price that was withheld in respect of such Acquired Assets, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Sale Order, and the Bankruptcy Code. (iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the provisions of Section 1.5(c)(ii) shall not apply to any Consent or Governmental Authorization required under the HSR Act, if applicable, and any Foreign Competition Laws, which Consent or Governmental Authorization shall be governed by Section 6.5 and (B) none of Sellers or Purchasers will be obligated to pay any consideration to any third party from whom Consent or Governmental Authorization is requested (other than in a de minimis amount) or to initiate any litigation to obtain any such Consent or Governmental Authorization. (v) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to effect any transfers or other arrangements described in this Section 1.5 in a manner that is mutually Tax efficient for the Parties and their respective Affiliates, including by treating any Seller (or applicable Affiliate thereof) initially in possession of any payment referenced in this Section 1.5 after the Closing as holding such payment as an agent or nominee for the Purchasers or their applicable Designated Purchaser(s) for income and other applicable Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. ARTICLE II CONSIDERATION; PAYMENT; CLOSING Section 2.1 Consideration; Payment.

When paid, the Cash Payment or the Credit Bid Amount, each as applicable, shall be deemed paid in respect of all Acquired Assets, with a portion of such cash payment deemed allocated to each Seller regardless of which designated bank account or accounts such payments were made to in accordance with Section 2.1(c). (b) In accordance with Section 2.1(a), Purchasers shall (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Sellers an aggregate amount equal to the Cash Payment and (ii) satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing as to the Credit Bid Portion by discharging Sellers, and Sellers shall be deemed to be discharged, from the obligations under the DIP Financing Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to the Credit Bid Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, any Encumbrance and security interest of Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on any encumbered asset that is not an Acquired Asset shall not be released and will continue to secure the remaining outstanding amount of the obligations under the DIP Financing Agreement). (c) At the Closing, Purchasers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Sellers the Cash Payment (the "Closing Date Payment"). The Closing Date Payment and any payment required to be made pursuant to any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the applicable Party to (or for the benefit of) whom such payment is to be made, and such designation shall be made, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made.

None of Purchasers or Sellers may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this (h), as applicable, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party's failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transactions as required under this Agreement or otherwise comply with any provision of this Agreement, in all material respects. Section 7.5 Notice of Alternative Transactions. (a) In the event that any Seller intends to accept a proposal or offer regarding an Alternative Transaction (an "Alternative Transaction Offer" or "Alternative Transaction Proposal"), such Seller(s) shall notify Purchasers of such intention to accept, in writing, within three (3) calendar days (the "Alternative Transaction Notice"), which notice shall include, among other things, the name of the applicable Person making such an offer, or with whom such Seller(s) and their affiliates are engaged in such activity with (as applicable) and all material terms of the 50 Alternative Transaction Offer or a copy of the competing agreement. Purchasers shall have fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Alternative Transaction Notice (the "Modified Offer Period") to notify such Seller(s), in writing, as to whether it will offer substantially similar terms to the Alternative Transaction Offer. In the event that Purchasers agree to offer substantially similar terms to the Alternative Transaction Offer, Purchasers and the applicable Seller(s) shall revise the terms of this Agreement accordingly in order to close the Transaction on such revised terms. (b) If following the expiration of the Modified Offer Period, such Seller(s) still intend to accept the Alternative Transaction Offer, Seller(s) shall hold an auction (the "Auction") no later than seven (7) calendar days after the expiration of the Modified Offer Period, pursuant to which such Seller(s) shall solicit alternative offers (each a "Formal Bid") over three (3) business days (the "Auction Period"). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the expiration of the Modified Offer Period, nothing shall prejudice Purchaser's right to submit a Formal Bid during the Auction Period, and such Seller(s) shall provide Purchasers with advanced notice of the Auction. If an Auction is conducted, and Purchasers are not the Successful Bidder but is the next highest bidder at the Auction, Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, serve as a back-up bidder (the "Backup Bidder") and keep Purchasers' bid to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be revised in the auction) open and irrevocable until the earlier of the date the Bankruptcy Court enters the Sale Order or when this Agreement is otherwise terminated as set forth herein. If the Successful Bidder fails to consummate the applicable Alternative Transaction as a result of a breach or failure to perform on the part of such successful bidder, the Backup Bidder will be deemed to have the new prevailing bid, and the Seller may consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement as such terms may have been improved upon in the Auction. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION Section 8.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated only in accordance with this Section 8.1. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the mutual written consent of SEC and Purchaser; (b) by written notice of either Purchasers or Sellers, upon the issuance of an Order by a court of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Closing or declaring unlawful the Transactions, and such Order having become final, binding and non-appealable; provided that no Party may terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) if the issuance of such Order was caused by such Party's material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) by written notice of either Purchasers or Sellers, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before August 29, 2025 (the "Outside Date") (or such later date as provided in the Bidding Procedures Order); provided that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the failure of the Closing to have occurred by the 51 Outside Date was caused by such Party's material breach of any of its obligations or material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement; (d) by written notice from Sellers to Purchasers, if the board of directors, board of managers, or such similar governing body of any Seller Party determines, after consulting with counsel, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, to pursue an Alternative Transaction, as contemplated by and permitted under the Bidding Procedures, and consummates such Alternative Transaction promptly following termination hereof, provided that in connection therewith, all outstanding obligations under the DIP Financing Agreement are repaid in full upon termination of this Agreement; (e) by written notice from Sellers to Purchasers, upon a material breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchasers, or if any representation or warranty of Purchasers will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied, including a breach of Purchasers' obligation to consummate the Closing; provided that (i) if such breach is curable by Purchasers (other than a breach or failure by Purchasers to close within five (5) Business Days of when required pursuant to Section 2.2) then Sellers may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) unless such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (A) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (B) 10 days after Sellers notify Purchasers of such breach and (ii) Sellers' right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) will not be available to Sellers at any time that Sellers are in material breach of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty hereunder; (f) by written notice from Purchasers to Sellers, upon a material breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers, or if any representation or warranty of Sellers will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied, including a breach of Sellers' obligation to consummate the Closing; provided that (i) if such breach is curable by Sellers (other than a breach or failure by Sellers to close within five (5) Business Days of when required pursuant to Section 2.2) then Purchasers may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(f) unless such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (A) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, and (B) 10 days after Purchasers notify Sellers of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) will not be available to Purchasers at any time that Purchasers are in material breach of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty hereunder; (g) by written notice from Sellers to Purchasers, if all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction and waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or waived, and Purchasers fail to complete the Closing within five (5) Business Days of the time required by Section 2.2; (h) by written notice of either Purchasers or Sellers, if (i) Sellers enter into one or more Alternative Transactions with one or more Persons other than Purchasers or the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder at the Auction or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction other than with the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder;

------

![](exhibit102-assetpurchase015.jpg)

52 (i) by written notice from either Purchasers or Sellers, if Purchasers (i) are not the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder at the Auction or (ii) are the Backup Bidder at the Auction and Sellers consummate an Alternative Transaction with the Successful Bidder; (j) by Purchasers if any of the Chapter 11 Cases are converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (k) by Purchasers if any Seller shall default for a period beyond any applicable grace period in the observance or performance of any agreement, covenant or condition set forth in the DIP Financing Agreement; (l) by Purchasers, if Sellers withdraw or seek to withdraw a notice or motion to approve the Stalking Horse Protections and does not cure within two (2) Business Days; or (m) by Purchasers upon the failure of the Sellers to fulfill the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) of the DIP Financing Agreement. Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. (a) In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and no Party nor any of its partners, officers, directors, managers or equityholders will have any Liability under this Agreement; provided that Section 6.2(b), this Section 8.2 and Article X shall survive any such termination; provided further that no termination will relieve Purchasers from any Liability for Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any failure by Purchasers or Sellers to consummate the Closing if and when they are obligated to do so hereunder). Subject to Section 10.12, nothing in this Section 8.2 will be deemed to impair the right of any Party to be entitled to specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to termination hereof. (b) In consideration for Purchasers having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(f), Section 8.1(h), Section 8.1(i), Section 8.1(j), Section 8.1(k), Section 8.1(l) or Section 8.1(m), then Sellers shall pay to the Purchasers the Expense Reimbursement; provided that the Expense Reimbursement shall be payable within two (2) Business Days of termination hereof to an account designated by Purchasers in writing to Sellers. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2(b) are an integral part of this Agreement and that the Expense Reimbursement is not a penalty, but rather represents liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will reasonably compensate Purchasers in the circumstances in which such Expense Reimbursement is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone by Purchasers while negotiating and pursuing this Agreement and in reasonable reliance on this Agreement and on the reasonable expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. (c) Subject in all cases to Section 10.12, prior to the applicable Closing, in the event of any breach by any Seller of this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchasers 53 shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 and, if applicable, to receive the Expense Reimbursement in accordance with Section 8.2(b). Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order and subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and entry of the Sale Order, the claim of Purchaser in respect of the Expense Reimbursement is and constitutes an allowed administrative expense claim against Sellers under Sections 503 and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Chapter 11 Cases. ARTICLE IX TAXES Section 9.1 Transfer Taxes. Any U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S., sales Tax, consumption sales, use, excise, value added, registration, real property, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use or other similar Taxes and recording charges (including all related interest, penalties, and additions to any of the foregoing) payable by reason of the sale of the Acquired Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the Transactions (the "Transfer Taxes") shall be borne and timely paid by Sellers as Excluded Liabilities; Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns related to any Transfer Taxes with the appropriate Taxing Authority; provided that Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for Transfer Taxes up to a maximum reimbursement of $3,000,000, subject to provision of an appropriate invoice by the Sellers for the same. The Transfer Taxes shall be calculated assuming that no exemption from Transfer Taxes is available under the Bankruptcy Code unless otherwise indicated in the Sale Order. The Parties will cooperate in good faith prior to Closing to determine the amount of Transfer Taxes required to be paid in connection with the Transactions, and shall cooperate in good faith to reduce the amount of Transfer Taxes payable, including by soliciting and providing appropriate resale exemption certificates or other evidence acceptable to Purchasers or Sellers, as appropriate, of exemption from such Transfer Taxes and by discussing in good faith whether adjustments to the Transaction structure (including, for the avoidance of doubt, acquiring the equity of an entity, rather than acquiring assets directly, if doing so would avoid a material amount of Transfer Taxes becoming due) as may be warranted to minimize the liability for Transfer Taxes arising hereunder. Section 9.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, Purchaser, Sellers, and their respective Affiliates shall allocate the Purchase Price (and any Assumed Liabilities or other amounts treated as part of the purchase price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Acquired Assets in accordance with section 1060 of the Tax Code and analogous provisions of Applicable Law; provided, that the parties hereto agree that the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to any ITCs which are Acquired Assets shall be derived solely from the Cash Purchase Price. As soon as commercially practicable, but no later than 120 days following the determination of the final Purchase Price, Purchasers shall provide a proposed allocation to Sellers setting forth the allocation of the Purchase Price (and other amounts treated as part of the purchase price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Acquired Assets (the "Allocation"). If within sixty (60) days after receiving the Allocation, Sellers have not objected, the Allocation shall be final and binding. If within sixty (60) days Sellers object to the Allocation, Purchasers and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences and finalize the Allocation. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in accordance with such Allocation (if and as finally determined under this Section 9.2) and not take any Tax related action inconsistent with the Allocation, in each case, unless otherwise 54 required by a "determination" within the meaning of section 1313(a) of the Tax Code; provided, that if Purchasers and Sellers are unable to reach an agreement as to the finalized Allocation, Purchasers, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall each prepare its Tax Returns as it determines appropriate. Section 9.3 Cooperation. (a) Purchasers and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Action, audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes; provided that in providing such information, assistance and access, each Party shall be entitled to redact information that is not related to the Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall not be obligated to provide or disclose any Excluded Tax Returns, provided, that Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any reasonably requested information related to the Acquired Assets contained in any Excluded Tax Returns. (b) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, to amend the structure of the transactions undertaken pursuant to this Agreement in order to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment or otherwise achieve a Tax- efficient outcome for the parties. (c) Sellers shall cooperate with Purchasers from and after the date hereof to determine the amount of ITCs, if any, that are eligible for transfer pursuant to Section 6418 of the Tax Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder to Purchasers as an Acquired Asset and shall, in connection with Closing, take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of such eligible ITCs to Purchasers. To the extent any ITCs of Sellers are not eligible to be sold or transferred to Purchasers pursuant to Section 6418 of the Tax Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, then Sellers shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to sell or transfer, or cause to be sold or transferred, such ITCs, and all net proceeds thereof shall be transferred to Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.1(o); provided, that any such sale shall be subject to the prior written consent of Purchasers (not to be unreasonably withheld). Section 9.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. To the extent relating to any Acquired Entity, Sellers shall terminate or cause to be terminated, on or before the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the Acquired Entities pursuant to all Tax sharing agreements or Tax indemnity agreements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which an Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Acquired Entities), on the other hand, are parties. Section 9.5 Allocation of Taxes for Straddle Period. Any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period required to be apportioned under this Agreement shall be apportioned as follows: (a) the amount of property, ad valorem, and other periodic Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to (i) the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (b) all Taxes not allocated under clause (a) shall be allocated 55 to the Pre-Closing Tax Period on the basis of a "closing of the books," as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided that, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of calendar days in each period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be construed so as to cause an Assumed Liability to become an Excluded Liability or vice versa. Section 9.6 Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. (a) Sellers shall prepare and timely file (i) all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Assets, the Business, and the Acquired Entities for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (the "Applicable Seller Prepared Returns") (and Purchasers shall cooperate with Sellers in causing such Tax Returns to be filed) and (ii) all income Tax Returns of Sellers and their Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any combined, consolidated, or similar income Tax Return of Seller or its Affiliates that includes an Acquired Entity), and, except to the extent that such income Tax Returns relate to TEP Holdings, Purchaser shall have no rights to review and comment on any such Tax Returns described in this clause (ii). Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a draft of all Applicable Seller Prepared Returns and any relevant portion of Seller income Tax Returns that relate to TEP Holdings at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period of time as is reasonably practicable) prior to the filing of any such Tax Return to the extent such Applicable Seller Prepared Returns relate to any Assumed Liability or Acquired Entity. Sellers shall incorporate any changes reasonably requested by Purchasers with respect to such Tax Returns that are supported at a "more likely than not" (or higher) level of confidence and consistent with past practice. As between Seller and Purchaser, unless such Taxes are an Assumed Liability as set forth in Section 1.3, Purchaser shall not be responsible for paying any Taxes shown on any Tax Return Seller is obligated to file under this Section 9.6(a). (b) Except as otherwise provided by Section 9.1, Purchasers shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Assets, the Business, and the Acquired Entities for any Tax period ending after the Closing Date, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income Tax Returns of Sellers. With respect to any Straddle Period, Purchasers shall prepare such Tax Returns consistent with past practice, and shall provide Sellers or their successors in rights, as applicable, with a draft of such Tax Returns at least 30 days prior to the filing of any such Tax Return that is a Pass-Through Income Tax Return or to the extent any Seller or its successor in rights could reasonably be expected to be liable for any such Taxes under this Agreement. Purchasers shall incorporate any changes reasonably requested by Sellers with respect to such Tax Returns. Purchasers shall be responsible for paying any Taxes reflected on any Tax Return that Purchasers are obligated to prepare and file under this Section 9.6(b) to the extent constituting an Assumed Liability. (c) The parties agree that for purposes of filing any Tax Return related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement the parties shall not apply the principles of Pierce v. Commissioner, 326 F. 2d 67 (8th Cir. 1964) with respect to any prepaid amount received or deferred revenue accrued prior to the Closing in connection with the Acquired Assets. The Acquired Entities or the Business.

56 Section 9.7 Tax Treatment. Each party hereto agrees that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, (i) the purchase and sale or assumption, as the case may be, of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as a taxable exchange governed by Section 1001 of the Tax Code, (ii) the KKR Term Loan shall be treated as debt, (iii) the Purchasers shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as acquiring assets underlying the Acquired Entities (other than with respect to TEP Holdings) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, as acquiring no stock of any entity classified as a "c corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes other than TEP Holdings), (iv) the purchase and sale of TEP Holdings pursuant to the Transactions shall not be treated as giving rise to any recapture to TEP Holdings or its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 50 of the Tax Code (including as applied through Section 6418 of the Tax Code) and (v) TEP Holdings shall be treated as having deconsolidated from the Sunnova U.S. federal income tax consolidated group effective as of April 21, 2025 (the "Intended Tax Treatment"). Each party hereto shall file any federal, state and local income tax returns on a basis consistent with the foregoing treatment, and each party hereto will assert the correctness of that treatment, and each party will not adopt any treatment that is contrary to or inconsistent with that treatment, in all dealings with the Internal Revenue Service unless otherwise required by a "final determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Tax Code. Section 9.8 Other Tax Matters. After the Closing, to the extent that any such action is reasonably expected to materially increase the aggregate Tax Liabilities shown as due and owing on Sellers Combined Tax Returns, Purchasers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) not to, for so long as SEC or Sunnova Energy International Inc. remain in existence, without the prior written consent of SEC or Sunnova Energy International Inc. (not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld) (a) file, re-file, supplement, or amend a Tax Return of an Acquired Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case except as set forth in Section 9.6; (b) file any ruling or request with any taxing authority with respect to Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (c) make or initiate any voluntary contact with any taxing authority (including any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar process) with respect to the filing of any Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (d) make or change any Tax election of an Acquired Entity that is retroactive to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Purchasers agree that they will not make an election under Section 336 or Section 338 with respect to the transfer of TEP Holdings pursuant to the Transaction. The Sellers shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, and shall enter into an amendment to the Atlas Credit Agreement which shall provide that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (each as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement) shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, in each case that is reasonably expected to (i) cause TEP Holdings to be treated as an entity other than a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) liquidate or otherwise merge TEP Holdings out of existence of U.S. federal income tax purposes. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS Section 10.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants; Certain Waivers. Each of the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance by such Party prior to the Closing) of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any other 57 Transaction Agreement, will terminate effective immediately as of the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto after the Closing. Each covenant and agreement in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement that explicitly contemplates performance after the Closing, will, in each case and to such extent, expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, and nothing in this Section 10.1 will be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement. Purchasers and Sellers acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group or Sellers Parties, as the case may be, that the agreements contained in this Section 10.1 (a) require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and will survive the Closing and (b) are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 10.1, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement. Section 10.2 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of Advisors) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, the performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs and expenses; provided that (a) all Transfer Taxes will be allocated pursuant to Section 9.1 and (b) all Cure Costs will be allocated pursuant to Section 5.2.

Section 10.9 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Party. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof. Section 10.10 Schedules. The Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement. However, each section of the Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules, and any disclosure in the Schedules will be deemed a disclosure against any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement to the extent readily apparent on the face of such disclosure. Capitalized terms used in the Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits does not imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Schedules, or Exhibits in any Agreement Dispute or other controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Schedules, or Exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course. In addition, matters reflected in the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No information set forth in the Schedules will be deemed to broaden in any way the scope of the Parties' representations and warranties. Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement, or other item set forth on any Schedule is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement, or item, and such terms will be deemed disclosed for all purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement, the Schedules, and the Exhibits is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained in this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of Contract. Section 10.11 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreements and other agreements expressly referred to herein, and the other Transaction Agreements, contains the entire agreement of the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements and documents among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired 61 Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the Transactions. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement or the intent of the Parties, and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties. Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if any of the Parties fails to take any Action required of it under this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.13 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither Sellers nor Purchasers would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that either Sellers or Purchasers pursuing an injunction or injunctions or other Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.12 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to Sellers pursuant to this Section 10.12 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Sellers from seeking to collect or collecting damages. If, prior to the Outside Date, any Party brings any Action, in each case in accordance with Section 10.13, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date will automatically be extended (i) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action, as the case may be. In no event will this Section 10.12 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require Sellers to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers herein. Section 10.13 Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal theory under which any Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or in tort or under statute, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, that may be based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement, or the Transactions and any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this Agreement (each, an "Agreement Dispute") brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in (a) the Bankruptcy Court and any federal court to which an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court may be validly taken or (b) if the Bankruptcy Court is unwilling or unable to hear such Action, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) (clauses (a) and (b), the "Chosen Courts").

No Party shall commence any Agreement Dispute except in the Chosen Courts, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any Order, decree, or award rendered by any Chosen Courts, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any Agreement Dispute filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in any of the Chosen Courts, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection that any Chosen Court is an improper or inconvenient forum for resolving any Agreement Dispute. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Section 10.14 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and any Agreement Dispute will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State without regards to conflicts of law principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply. (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH AGREEMENT DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 10.14(b). Section 10.15 No Right of Set-Off. (a) Each Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group and its and their respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that such Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any of its or their respective successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price or any other payments to be made by such Purchaser 63 pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by such Purchaser in connection herewith.

Section 10.16 Counterparts and PDF. This Agreement and any other Transaction Agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party to such Transaction Agreement, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a .PDF, DocuSign, or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version of such Contract delivered in person. Minor variations in the form of the signature page to this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, including footers from earlier versions of any such other document, will be disregarded in determining the effectiveness of such signature. At the request of any party to any Transaction Agreement, each other party to such Transaction Agreement will re-execute original forms of such Transaction Agreement and deliver them to all other parties. No party to any such Transaction Agreement will raise the use of a .PDF, DocuSign, or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or Contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of PDF, DocuSign, or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. Section 10.17 Publicity. Neither Sellers nor Purchasers shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party (which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed), unless, in the reasonable judgment of the applicable disclosing Party, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchasers or Sellers (or their respective Affiliates) lists securities; provided that the Party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the contents of such release. However, a copy of this Agreement will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Section 10.18 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties intend that pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets of the Debtors shall be free and clear of any Encumbrances in the Acquired Assets (including any Encumbrances claims arising out of any "bulk sales," "bulk transfers," or similar Laws), except Permitted Encumbrances, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order.

(j) Any reference to any agreement or Contract will be a reference to such agreement or Contract, as amended, modified, supplemented or waived. (k) Any reference to any particular Bankruptcy Code or Tax Code section or any Law will be interpreted to include any amendment to, revision of or successor to that section or Law regardless of how it is numbered or classified; provided that, for the purposes of the representations and warranties set forth herein, with respect to any violation of or non-compliance with, or alleged violation of or non-compliance, with any Bankruptcy Code or Tax Code section or Law, the reference to such Bankruptcy Code or Tax Code section or Law means such Bankruptcy Code or Tax Code section or Law as in effect at the time of such violation or non-compliance or alleged violation or non-compliance. 83 (l) A reference to any Party to this Agreement or any other agreement or document shall include such Party's successors and assigns, but only if such successors and assigns are not prohibited by this Agreement.
