memorandum dated as of the Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(h)Presumption of Funding by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Loan available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and may (but without obligation), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans.

(k)Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, upon a prepayment of such Loan in accordance with Section 3.03 and at maturity in cash; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(b) shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued but unpaid interest (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any interest previously paid in kind and added to the principal amount hereunder pursuant to this Section 3.02(c)) on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

Each determination of the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error.  The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of Borrower or any Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Adjusted Term SOFR hereunder. In connection with the use or administration of Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(n)Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 
Section 1.014Prepayments.
(a)Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay any Loan at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, plus the Applicable Premium (if any) and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the prepayment date. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 12.01 of any prepayment hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) 
31

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof or provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.  Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Loans. 
(b)Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)Debt Incurrence. The Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in clause (iii) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any incurrence of Debt not otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 9.02. Such prepayment shall be made within one (1) Business Day after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such incurrence of Debt.
(ii)Asset Dispositions and Insurance and Condemnation Events. The Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in clause (iii) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from (A) any Asset Disposition (other than any Asset Disposition consummated pursuant to Section 9.11(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (i), (j), (k), (l), (n), (p) or (q)) or (B) any Insurance and Condemnation Event, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), respectively, exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year (and, in each case, only to the extent of such excess). Such prepayments shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall be permitted to reinvest up to $20.0 million of additional Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition or Insurance and Condemnation Events in any fiscal year in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, within twelve (12) months after the date of such Asset Disposition or Insurance and Condemnation Event, or enters into a binding commitment therefor within said twelve (12) month period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within six (6) months after expiration of such twelve (12) month period; provided that the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of such Credit Party’s or such Subsidiary’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively.
(iii)Manner of Payment. Subject to Section 3.03(b)(iv), each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 3.03(b) shall be applied to repay Loans on a pro rata basis. 
(iv) Notice; Rejection Right. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the required date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount to be prepaid in connection with such prepayment, including any Applicable Premium. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Loans entitled to such prepayment of the contents of such prepayment notice (or provide a copy thereof to each Lender) and of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment. Each Lender may, by written notice (each a “Notice of Prepayment Rejection”) received by the Administrative Agent no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, reject all or a portion, of its pro rata share of such prepayment (in which case the aggregate amount of the payment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Borrower). If a Lender fails to deliver a Notice of Prepayment Rejection within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to be an acceptance of the total amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment.
32

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

(o)Applicable Premium.  In the event of the occurrence of any Applicable Premium Triggering Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, a premium equal to (i) if such Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, the Make-Whole Amount with respect to the aggregate principal amount of Loans subject to such Applicable Premium Triggering Event (or, if such Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date and substantially concurrently with the consummation of a Sale Transaction, an amount equal to the positive difference between 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans subject to such Applicable Premium Triggering Event and the Warrant FMV), (ii) if such Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs on or after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date and prior to the date this is twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans subject to such Applicable Premium Triggering Event; provided that, in the case of this sub-clause (ii), at the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay, at any time during such period, not more than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the first day of such period without the payment of any premium thereon, and (iii) if such Applicable Premium Triggering Event occurs on or after the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, 0.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans subject to such Applicable Premium Triggering Event (such amounts referred to in this Section 3.03(c), the “Applicable Premium”).  
The Applicable Premium shall be due and payable on the date of each such Applicable Premium Triggering Event. It is understood and agreed that if the Secured Obligations are accelerated (including pursuant to Article X as a result of any Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Premium shall also be due and payable on such date (to the extent applicable) and such Applicable Premium shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations. In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof, the Applicable Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination of the Term Loan Facility hereunder and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OR OTHERWISE. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 3.03(c). The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Premium to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Term Loans. 
Any provision of this Section 3.03(c) that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Section 3.03(c), and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 1.015Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter. 
Section 1.016Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative 
33

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.05(d) or the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.05, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.05.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Loans will incur interest at the Base Rate.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Article IV
PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS
Section 1.017Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)Payments by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in dollars that constitute immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim.  Fees, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error (e.g., as a result of a clerical mistake).  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), be deemed to have been received on such date or the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder 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 hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(b)Application of Insufficient Payments.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, premiums and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards 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, towards 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)Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or 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, other than to the Borrower or any other Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 1.018Presumption of Payment by the Borrower.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but without obligation), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so 
35

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, the Federal Funds Rate.
Section 1.019Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent.  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), or Section 4.02 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 Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.  After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c).
Section 1.020Disposition of Proceeds.  The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to the Collateral and all proceeds attributable thereto that may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral.  The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations and other obligations described therein and secured thereby.  Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, (a) the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties agree that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such Collateral nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, but the Secured Parties will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries.
Article V
INCREASED COSTS; CHANGES IN LAW; TAXES
Section 1.021Increased Costs; Changes in Law. 
(f)If any Change in Law shall subject any Agent or Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, 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 such Agent or Lender of making or maintaining any Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Agent or Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Agent or Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Agent or Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (in each case to the extent such compensation is sought by such Agent or Lender from similarly situated borrowers).
(g) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered (in each case to the extent such compensation is sought by such Agent or Lender from similarly situated borrowers).
(h)Certificates.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
36

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

(i)Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 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 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three hundred sixty five (365) days prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 1.022Compensation for Losses.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 1.023Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct Taxes from or in respect of any payments by such Withholding Agent (determined in its good faith discretion), then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (without duplication), the sum payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (without duplication) applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Administrative Agent or Lender and their Related Parties (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower and any Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent (as directed by the Majority Lenders) timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower and any Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender and their Related Parties, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, without duplication (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) paid or payable by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, such Agent or such Lender and their Related Parties, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate of such Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or its Related Party) or a Lender or their Related Parties (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
37

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and any Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable 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 any 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 (d).
(e)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)Status of Lenders.  (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 5.03(f)(i)(A), (i)(B) and Section 5.03(g) below) shall not be required if in the 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.
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 about the date on which such 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 IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(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 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 
38

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

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;

(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 prior to 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.

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

any Guarantor has paid additional amounts in each case pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay over the amount of such refund to the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or Guarantor under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent, Lender or Related Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or Guarantor, upon the request of such Agent, Lender or Related Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.03(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, Lender or Related Party in the event such Agent, Lender or Related Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(h), in no event will the applicable Agent, Lender or Related Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.03(h) the payment of which would place the applicable Agent, Lender or Related Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Agent, Lender or Related 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 5.03 shall not be construed to require any Agent, Lender or Related Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if any Lender has Affected Loans under Section 5.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, or Affected Loans under Section 5.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(k)Replacement of Lenders.  If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, (iii) any Lender has Affected Loans under Section 5.05, or (iv) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) if a Lender is removed as a Lender hereunder, the Borrower has paid such Lender all amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all principal, accrued interest, and fees (including, without limitation, any Applicable Premium that would have been due if such Lender’s Loans had been prepaid pursuant to Sections 3.03(a) on such date without the occurrence of a Sale Transaction and without giving effect to any other exceptions set forth in Section 3.03(c)), (2) in the case of a required assignment of interest, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be 
40

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

conditioned, delayed or withheld, (3) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (4) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 1.025Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Loans.  
Section 1.026Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(b)  any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(c) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c)  In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be appropriate in connection with such Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender, and such Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but all amendments, waivers or modifications effected 
41

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).
(d)  The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

Article XI
THE AGENTS
Section 1.058Appointment; Powers.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 11.06) appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with the UCC, can be perfected by possession or control.
Section 1.059Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall 
71

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default,” and shall not 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 under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it or as to those conditions precedent specifically required to be to its satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed closing date specifying its objection thereto.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, any determination by the Administrative Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain, monitor or enforce compliance with the list of Disqualified Institutions and will not have any liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to a Disqualified Institution, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent will be authorized to disclose the list of Disqualified Institutions to the Lenders and the Lenders will be authorized to disclose such list, on a confidential basis, to potential assignees and participants.
Section 1.060Action by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document that it is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases it shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, including any action to be taken pursuant to any Account Control Agreements and any landlord agreements or waivers.  The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.  If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.  In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law.  If a Default has occurred and is continuing, no Agent (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof.  No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument 
72

referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined in a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction);  provided that no action taken or not taken by an Agent with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.03. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall require any Agent to: (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any 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 the Agents 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 the Agents hereunder or thereunder, it is understood that in all cases the Agents shall be acting, giving, withholding, suffering, omitting, taking or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed by the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02). Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in the possession or control of an Agent, such Agent will not have any duty as to any other Collateral or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Agents will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Agents will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event the Administrative Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Administrative Agent has determined that the Administrative Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any Hazardous Materials. The Administrative Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Borrower or the Lenders to be sufficient.
Section 1.061Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Borrower and the Lenders hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent as determined by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Administrative 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.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.
Section 1.062Subagents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding 
73

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 Administrative Agent.
Section 1.063Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and upon the approval of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a trust company or bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Majority Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lender appoint a successor administrative agent, as provided for above.  The Majority Lenders may remove any Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which such successor shall be consented to by the Borrower (such consent by the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, and with consent by Borrower not required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e)).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the outgoing Administrative Agent, and the outgoing Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date 30 days following the Majority Lenders’ notice of removal of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Majority Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent, as provided for above.
Section 1.064Agents as Lenders.  Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Section 1.065No Reliance.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each Lender also 
74

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender 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, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its Affiliates.  
Section 1.066Authority to Release Collateral and Liens.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to (i) release any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents to a Person that is not a Credit Party, (ii) release any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Secured Obligations if all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is (x) a Credit Party or (y) an Affiliate of a Credit Party, (iii) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by a Guarantor, release such Collateral upon the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, and (iv) subordinate any Lien on any collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to any Lien permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or, if necessary to avoid a default or other adverse consequences under the agreements relating to such Lien permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, release any such Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.11 to a Person that is not a Credit Party or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to take any of the actions set forth in this Section 11.09.
Section 1.10The Agents.  No Agent other than the Administrative Agent, shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than their duties, responsibilities and liabilities in their capacity as Lenders hereunder, if applicable.
Section 1.11Filing of Proofs of Claim.  In case of any Event of Default under Section 10.01(e)(i) or Section 10.01(e)(ii) the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable and regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to (i) 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 Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and (ii) file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 3.04 and Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
Each Lender hereby authorizes any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding: (i) to make such payments to the Administrative 
75

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

Agent; and (ii) if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.04 and Section 12.03.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative 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 Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.  Each Lender retains its right to file and prove a claim separately.

Section 11.12    Erroneous Payments.  
(d)Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies any Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received) and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives 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 Payments received, including without limitation a waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)Without limiting immediately preceding clause, each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that the Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, 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 Payments received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received).

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to timely pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent under Section 12.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on such Lender’s share of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans at such time) 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 in its capacity as such.
(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, 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; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(i)Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.04(b)(iii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (unless an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing, other than to any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution) 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) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of: (A) the Borrower, provided that (x) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (I) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, or (II) if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (other than any assignment to a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution) unless the Borrower shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or any assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.  
(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of 
81

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower otherwise consents, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing; (B) 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; (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee payable to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment permitted hereunder to a Lender an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund); (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to support compliance under Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws, including that required by applicable regulatory authorities required under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, and shall deliver notice of the Assignment and Assumption to the Borrower; and (E) in no event may any Lender assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower, any natural person, any Defaulting Lender, any Disqualified Institution or any Person who upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons.  
(iii)Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, from and after the date the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to subsection (v) below 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, other than any obligations that would survive the termination of this agreement, including those under Article XI and Section 12.11 (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c) (other than any such assignment or transfer to a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution which shall be void, unless an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing).  
(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable written prior notice.  In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrower and each Lender.
(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to support compliance under Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws, including that required by applicable regulatory authorities required under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations, 
82

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

including the USA PATRIOT Act, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b).
(c)Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower, any Defaulting Lender, any Disqualified Institution (unless an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing) or any natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 5.03(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 12.04(c), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, and Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements under Section 5.03(f), it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c), proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5 or any applicable temporary, final or other successor regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
(e)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank 
83

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest, or the exercise of any remedy in connection therewith, shall (i) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, or (iii) waive any of the requirements as to a permitted assignee contained in Section 12.04(b).
Section 1.071Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.
(j)All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein 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 this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time 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 Section 5.01, Section 5.03, Section 12.03 and Section 12.11 and Article XI 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, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
(k)To the extent that any payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Secured Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s, and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect.  In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.
Section 1.072Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
(g)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.
(h)THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY FEE LETTER WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.   
(i)Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, 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 successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The party using digital signatures and electronic methods agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of using digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications and/or documents to Agents, including without limitation the risk of Agents acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other applicable Signature Laws due to the character or intended character of the writings.
Section 1.073Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 1.074Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held (other than in Excluded Accounts described in clause (b) of the definition thereof) and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.

This Section 12.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.12Interest Rate Limitation.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loans, it is agreed as follows:  (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law.  If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest that would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12.

Each Guarantor waives any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to sue Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Secured Obligations (with respect to any Secured Obligations, each an "Obligated Party"), to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Secured Obligations and waives the benefits of division and discussion.
Section 1.078No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. 
(f)Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Secured Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Secured Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, winding up reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
89

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

(g)The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable Governmental Requirement purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof. 
(h)Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Secured Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of Borrower for all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Secured Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Secured Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
Section 1.079Defenses Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower or any Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person.  Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Secured Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Secured Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Secured Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
Section 1.080Rights of Subrogation.  No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Credit Parties have fully performed all their obligations (other than unasserted indemnification and expense claims) to Administrative Agent and Lenders, including the final payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and termination of the Commitments.
Section 1.081Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration.  If at any time any payment of any portion of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of Borrower, each Guarantor's obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Secured Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Secured Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand by Administrative Agent or the Lenders.
Section 1.082Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of Administrative Agent or 
90

876672.08-LACSR02A - MSW

any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
Section 1.083Maximum Liability.  The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state, federal or bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor's liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor's "Maximum Liability").  This Section 13.08 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 13.08 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.  Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the applicable Secured Parties hereunder, provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement (including any provisions of this Article XIII to the contrary) shall limit the liability of Borrower in respect of all of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents. 
Section 1.084Contribution.  In the event any Guarantor (a "Paying Guarantor") shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty in respect of the Secured Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a "Non-Paying Guarantor") shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor's "Guarantor Percentage" of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor.  For purposes of this Article XIII, each Non-Paying Guarantor's "Guarantor Percentage" with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means).  Nothing in this provision shall affect any Guarantor's several liability for the entire amount of the Secured Obligations (up to such Guarantor's Maximum Liability).  This provision is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 1.10Liability Cumulative.  The liability of each applicable Credit Party as a Guarantor under this Article XIII is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each such Credit Party to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Credit Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Company:                      8x8, Inc., a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares of Common Stock:     [●]
Warrant Price:                  $7.15] per Share, subject to adjustment
Issue Date:                      August 3, 2022
Expiration Date:                 August 3, 2027        
See also Section 4.1(b).

Credit Facility:    This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (“Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of the Issue Date by and among the Company, each of the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Administrative Agent (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, [●] (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase up to the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the above-stated common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the above-named company (the “Company”) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.  Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 1.  EXERCISE.
1.aMethod of Exercise.  The Holder may at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the company) the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (such date of the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, the “Date of Exercise”) and, unless the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, within three (3) Trading Days of the date such Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company) or other form of payment acceptable to the Company.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if this Warrant was originally executed and/or delivered electronically, in no event shall the Holder be required to surrender or deliver an ink-signed paper copy of this Warrant in connection with its exercise hereof or of any rights hereunder, nor shall the Holder be required to surrender or deliver a paper or other physical copy of this Warrant in connection with any exercise hereof.

1.bCashless Exercise.  On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised.  Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable Warrant Shares as are computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Warrant Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A =    the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Warrant Share; and
B =    the Warrant Price.
1.cFair Market Value.  If the Company’s Common Stock is then listed on a Trading Market, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be the volume weighted average of the closing sales price of a share of Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the applicable Date of Exercise (such period, the “Listed Averaging Period”). If the Company’s Common Stock is not then listed on a Trading Market, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be the average closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the applicable Date of Exercise as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system (such period, the “Unlisted Averaging Period”). If the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a Trading Market and there have been no sales of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association during the period set forth in the preceding sentence, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes of calculating the volume weighted average price over any multiple-day period, the number of shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar transaction.
1.dDelivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  After the Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Warrant Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by book-entry or physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the end of the Listed Averaging Period or the Unlisted Averaging Period, as applicable, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Warrant Price as set forth above (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a 
    2

holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Warrant Price and all taxes (other than transfer taxes) required to be paid by the Holder. If this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Warrant Shares not so acquired.
1.eReplacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
1.fCharges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares or by book-entry registration shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate or book-entry registration, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates or book-entry registration shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant to be exercised, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Holder requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid; provided, further, that in the event certificates or book-entry registration for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Appendix 2 duly executed by the Holder.
1.gClosing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof. 
1.hRescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder certificates or book-entry registration representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1.4 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. 
SECTION 2.  ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WARRANT SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
1.iStock Dividends, Splits, Etc.  If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock payable in securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Warrant Share acquired, the Holder shall receive, without additional cost to the Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which the Holder would have received had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred.  If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.  If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
1.jReclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution.  Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, 
    3

combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that the Holder would have received had the Warrant Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
1.kRecord Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock; warrants or other rights or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (collectively, “Options”); or any securities (directly or indirectly) convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, that if before the distribution to its holders of Common Stock the Company legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription, or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
1.lTreasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2.4. 
1.mOther Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised or converted in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash, or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash, or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event. 
1.nFundamental Transaction.  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the 
    4

surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Warrant Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.  Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Company or the Successor Entity, as applicable), and, as applicable, the Company or the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if, as applicable, the Company or such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.
1.oNo Fractional Share.  No fractional Warrant Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Warrant Share.  If a fractional Warrant Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Warrant Share interest by paying the Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Warrant Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
1.pNo Impairment. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or other governing or organizational documents, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
    5

1.qNotice to Holder of Certain Events.  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Common Stock and/or number of Warrant Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify the Holder in writing within three (3) Business Days setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, class and/or number of Warrant Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the warrant register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified (or, less than 10 calendar days, if sent concurrently upon the notice sent to the Company’s stockholders or public disclosure by the Company of such events), a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

1.tWarrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.

1.uRepresentations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company as follows:
(i)The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1.2), will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
(ii)At the time the Holder was offered this Warrant, it was, and as of the date of this Warrant is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act.
(iii)The Holder does not beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Common Stock.
(iv)Neither the Holder, directly or indirectly, nor any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Holder, has engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving any of the Company’s securities) since the time that such Holder was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding this Warrant. The Holder covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Holder will engage, directly or indirectly, in any Short Sales while this Warrant remains outstanding. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, other derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales or any other transactions that directly or indirectly transfer, dispose of or hedge economic interests in the Common Stock.

(ii)Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration.  In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Warrant Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Warrant Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Warrant Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.
