  RECITALS

  WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender make available to Borrower a Credit Facility in the maximum principal amount of up to Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000) which will be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral; 

  WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Credit Facility available to Borrower pursuant to the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth; and

  WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions of their relationship in writing.

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

  ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS, ACCOUNTING TERMS AND
PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

  1.01.	Terms Defined.  As used in this Agreement, those terms set forth in Annex I shall have the respective meanings set forth therein.

The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for covenant compliance purpose, (a) all financial definitions, calculations and covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof and (b) with respect to the accounting for leases as either operating leases or capital leases and the impact of such accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 840, GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2018 shall be applied.  For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of the foregoing, Permitted Convertible Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and shall not include any reduction or appreciation in value of the shares deliverable upon conversion thereof.

  1.03.	UCC.  Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the UCC shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC unless otherwise defined herein; provided, that to the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the UCC shall govern.

  1.04.	Construction.  Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise 

  6

   

  

   

  specified.  Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein).  The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties.  Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean (a) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of (i) the principal amount of, and interest accrued and unpaid with respect to, all outstanding Loans, together with the payment of any premium applicable to the repayment of the Loans, (ii) all expenses that have accrued and are unpaid regardless of whether demand has been made therefor, (iii) all fees or charges that have accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document and are unpaid, (b) the receipt by Lender of cash collateral in order to secure any contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made on or prior to such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Lender at such time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Lender reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, (c) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of all other outstanding Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, and (d) the termination of all of the commitments of Lender.  Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.  Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of information that is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form.

  1.05.	Time References.  Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, all references to time of day refer to Eastern standard time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in the State of New York on such day.  For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”; provided that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day.

  1.06.	Schedules and Exhibits.  All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

  ARTICLE 2

THE LOANS

  2.01.	Credit Facility – Description.

  (a)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby establishes for the benefit of Borrower a credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which shall include Advances which may be extended by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time hereunder in the form of revolving loans (“Revolving Loans”) consisting of a line of credit facility which shall be made available to Borrower after the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Loan Commitment provided Borrower provides Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice requesting the initial Advance hereunder (such date of the initial Advance hereunder being referred to as the “Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date”).  After the Closing Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and subject to the terms of this Agreement and with the prior written consent of Lender in its sole discretion, the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be increased upon the written request of Borrower (which such request shall be made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such Additional Tranche) to Lender to activate the Additional Tranche.  The aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances shall not, at any time, exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment; and the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans shall not, at any time, exceed the Borrowing Base.  In no event shall the initial principal amount of any Revolving Loan be less than $25,000.00.  Subject to such limitation, the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans may fluctuate from time to time, to be reduced by repayments made by Borrower, to be increased by future Revolving Loans which may be made by Lender.  If the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base, or if the aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances (whether in the form of Revolving Loans or otherwise), exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment, Borrower shall immediately repay such excess in full pursuant 

  7

   

  

   

  to Section 2.05(b) hereof.  Lender has the right at any time, and from time to time, to set aside reserves against the Borrowing Base in such amounts as it may deem appropriate in Lender’s Permitted Discretion.  To the extent there is more than one Borrower hereunder, the Obligations of such Borrower under the Credit Facility and this Agreement are joint and several and shall at all times be absolute and unconditional.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans outstanding exceed (and Lender shall not be obligated to make any Advances of Revolving Loans if the making of such Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans outstanding to exceed) (x) prior to satisfaction of the Initial Upsize Conditions, Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and (y) upon satisfaction of the Initial Upsize Conditions but prior to the satisfaction of the Second Upsize Condition, Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00).

  (b)	At Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note to Lender in the principal amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment (as may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time, the “Revolving Note”).  Upon activation of the Additional Tranche in accordance with Section 2.01(a) hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an amended and restated Revolving Note evidencing the Revolving Loan Commitment.  The Revolving Note shall evidence Borrower’s joint and several, absolute and unconditional obligation to repay Lender for all Revolving Loans made by Lender under the Credit Facility, with interest as herein and therein provided.  Each and every Revolving Loan under the Credit Facility shall be deemed evidenced by the Revolving Note, which is deemed incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.  The Revolving Note shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit 2.01(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof.

  (c)	[Intentionally Omitted.]

  (d)	The initial term of the Credit Facility (the “Initial Term”) shall expire on November 1, 2027.  All Revolving Loans shall be repaid on or before the earlier of the last day of the Initial Term or upon termination of the Credit Facility or termination of this Agreement (the “Maturity Date”).  After the Maturity Date no further Revolving Loans shall be available from Lender.

  (e)	Lender may adjust the Advance Rate in order to reflect, in Lender’s Permitted Discretion, the experience with Borrower or the aggregate amount or percentage of the Collections with respect to the Accounts and the Inventory.

  2.02.	Funding Procedures.

  (a)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder, on and after the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, Lender will make Revolving Loans to Borrower.  Lender shall provide Borrower with a report regarding the Borrowing Base then in effect (a “Borrowing Base Certificate”) (i) prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, on a specified Business Day of each month and (ii) on and after the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, on a specified Business Day of each week (such weekly or monthly day to be mutually agreeable to Borrower and Lender (each such date shall be referred to herein as the “Settlement Date,” whether or not Borrower has requested a Revolving Loan to be made on such date)).  Prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, Borrower Representative shall cause the Borrowing Base Certificate received from Lender on the monthly Settlement Date to be executed by a duly Authorized Officer or the Designated Signatory and shall return such duly executed Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender within five (5) Business Days of such monthly Settlement Date.  If Borrower does not request a Revolving Loan on any weekly Settlement Date, Borrower Representative shall cause the Borrowing Base Certificate to be executed by a duly Authorized Officer or the Designated Signatory and return such duly executed Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender within one (1) Business Day.  Borrower may request a Revolving Loan on any Settlement Date or any other day of the week (such day on which a Revolving Loan is requested to be made is referred to herein as the “Funding Date”).  Upon request by Borrower of a Revolving Loan on any Funding Date, which such request shall be received by Lender no later than 12:00 P.M. on such Funding Date, Lender shall prepare a Borrowing Base Certificate and a written request for such Revolving Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) hereto (a “Loan Request”) and forward such Loan Request to Borrower Representative or the Designated Signatory for execution.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if the executed Borrowing Base Certificate and Loan Request are received by Lender before 4:00 P.M. on any Funding Date, Lender will advance on such Funding Date (or the next Business Day if the executed Borrowing Base Certificate and Loan Request are received by Lender after 4:00 P.M.) to Borrower a Revolving Loan in the 

  8

   

  

   

  amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the Revolving Loan requested by Borrower in the Loan Request, or (ii) the Borrowing Base Excess as of such date.  Any Advances made by Lender hereunder shall be treated for all purposes as, and shall accrue interest at the same rate applicable to, Revolving Loans.  In the event that the Loan Request does not comply with the foregoing requirements within the timing parameters set forth above, Lender is under no obligation to provide the requested Advance.  

  (b)	The Borrowing Base Certificate and the Loan Request may be delivered via facsimile or digitally scanned and delivered by internet electronic mail, and Borrower acknowledges that Lender may rely on Borrower’s signature by facsimile or by scanned image, which shall be legally binding upon Borrower.

  (c)	Whether or not Borrower has requested a Revolving Loan to be made on such date, Lender may at any time charge against the Borrowing Base an amount equal to all fees, Expenses, principal, interest or other amounts as and when due and payable to Lender hereunder, and such charge shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan and an Advance hereunder.

  (d)	Monthly Accounts Detail File.

  (i)	Not later than 5:00 P.M. on the tenth (10th) day after the preceding month-end (the “Download Date”), Borrower will deliver to Lender a system-generated month end data file associated with the Accounts and Inventory, which shall include, without limitation, the information required by Lender to enable Lender to process and value the outstanding Accounts and Inventory of Borrower, as well as bill and collect such Accounts following an Event of Default (“Accounts Detail File”).  Upon completion of the processing of the data with respect to such Accounts and such Inventory, Lender or its agent will prepare and deliver to Borrower Representative a Borrowing Base Certificate by no later than 12:00 P.M. on the next Settlement Date, provided, however, if the Accounts Detail File is received less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Settlement Date, the Borrowing Base will not be updated until the next Settlement Date.   

  (ii)	No later than 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the tenth (10th) day after the preceding month end, Borrower will deliver to Lender, (A) a system-generated billed claim file (the “Billed Claim File”), reflecting all billed claims for a rolling six-month period (or such other timeframe as reasonably specified by Lender) with such rolling six-month period beginning ten months prior to the most recent month end; and (B) a system-generated transaction file, reflecting all transactional activity on the billed claims reflected in the Billed Claim File for the most recent trailing ten month period (or such other timeframe as reasonably specified by Lender).

  (iii)	No later than 5:00 P.M. ten (10) days after the preceding month end Borrower will deliver to Lender a system-generated monthly cash posting file for such preceding month.

  (e)	Lender’s determination of the Estimated Net Value of the Eligible Accounts and other amounts to be determined or calculated under this Agreement shall, in the absence of manifest error and so long as exercised in its Permitted Discretion, be binding and conclusive.

  2.03.	Interest and Fees.

  (a)	Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date made until such Revolving Loan is paid in full, at a floating rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate (together, the “Interest Rate”).  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Lender 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.  The Lender will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

  (b)	If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the rate of interest applicable to each Revolving Loan then outstanding shall be the Default Rate.  The Default Rate shall apply from the date of the Event 

  9

   

  

   

  of Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived, and interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable upon demand. 

  (c)	Should the Credit Facility be terminated for any reason prior to the last day of the Initial Term, in addition to repayment of all Obligations then outstanding and termination of Lender’s commitment hereunder, Borrower shall unconditionally be obligated to pay at the time of such termination, a Termination Fee.  Borrower acknowledges that the Termination Fee is an estimate of Lender’s damages in the event of early termination and is not a penalty.  In the event of termination of the Credit Facility, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the termination date stated in any notice of termination. All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents which by their terms specifically survive termination shall survive any such termination, and Lender shall retain its security interests in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Borrower has paid the Obligations to Lender, in full, in immediately available funds, together with the applicable Termination Fee, if any.

  (d)	Borrower shall pay to Lender, when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable upon payment.

  2.04.	Additional Interest Provisions.

  (a)	Calculation of Interest.  Interest on the Revolving Loans shall be based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and charged pro rata for the actual number of days elapsed.

  (b)	Continuation of Interest Charges.  All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding Revolving Loans shall continue to accrue and be paid even after default, maturity, acceleration, termination of the Credit Facility, judgment, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.

  (c)	Applicable Interest Limitations.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, apply and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

  2.05.	Payments.

  (a)	All accrued interest on the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month commencing with the first calendar day of the month immediately following the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date.  Any accrued Unused Line Fees and Collateral Monitoring Fees for each calendar month shall be due and payable monthly on the first calendar day of the following calendar month.

  (b)	If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, or, the aggregate of all Advances exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment, Borrower shall immediately make such principal prepayments of the Revolving Loans (subject to the terms of Section 2.03(c)) as is necessary to eliminate such excess.

  (c)	The entire principal balance of all of the outstanding Advances, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon and the Termination Fee, if any, and any unpaid Unused Line Fees and Collateral Monitoring Fees shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

  (d)	[Intentionally Omitted.]

  (e)	[Intentionally Omitted.]

  10

   

  

   

  (f)	[Intentionally Omitted.].

  (g)	All payments and prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.07(f) and Section 2.08(b).  Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by (or on behalf of) Borrower hereunder (including principal, interest, fees and any other amount due hereunder) shall be remitted to Lender in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified herein; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such payments shall be deemed not to have been received by Lender on any day unless immediately available funds have been credited to the Collection Account prior 2:00 P.M. on such day.  Any payment received by Lender in immediately available funds in the Collection Account later than 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the following day and any applicable interest, fee or other amount shall continue to accrue until such following day.  Whenever any payment is stated as due on a calendar day which is not a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest and any other amount due hereunder shall continue to accrue during such extension.  In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to charge interest, principal, fees and all other amounts due to Lender hereunder as and when due against the Borrowing Base with respect to any such payments due and payable under the Revolving Loans, and each such charge shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan and an Advance hereunder, as of the date on which such payment is due.

  2.06.	Taxes; Increased Costs.  Borrower and Lender each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Annex II attached hereto.

  2.07.	Lockboxes and Collections.

  (a)	Prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, Borrower will enter into springing Control Agreements in respect of the Commercial Lockbox in such form and with the Lockbox Bank or such other bank as is acceptable to Lender.  On and after the Initial Revolving Loan Advance Date, Borrower will enter into Depository Agreements in respect of the Commercial Lockbox in such form and with the Lockbox Bank or such other bank as is acceptable to Lender and shall instruct the Lockbox Bank maintaining the Commercial Lockbox that all Collections sent to the Commercial Lockbox shall be deposited into a bank account at the Lockbox Bank in the name of Lender.  Borrower shall also instruct the Lockbox Bank as described further in the Depository Agreements to initiate or accept initiation by Lender of a daily transfer of all available funds to an account of Lender to be designated by Lender (the “Collection Account”).

  (b)	Borrower will cause all Collections with respect to all of the Accounts to be sent directly to the Commercial Lockbox.  In the event that Borrower receives any Collections that should have been sent to the Commercial Lockbox, Borrower will, promptly upon receipt and in any event within one (1) Business Day of receipt, forward such Collections directly to the Commercial Lockbox, in the form received, and if requested by Lender, shall promptly notify Lender of such event.  Until so forwarded, such Collections shall be held in trust for the Lender.

  (c)	Borrower shall not withdraw any amounts from the accounts into which the Collections remitted to the Commercial Lockbox are deposited, nor shall Borrower change the procedures under the agreements governing the Commercial Lockbox and related accounts.

  (d)	Borrower will cooperate with Lender in the identification and reconciliation on a monthly basis of all amounts received in the Commercial Lockbox.  If more than ten percent (10%) of the Collections since the prior month end is not identified or reconciled to the satisfaction of Lender within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, Lender shall not be obligated to make further Revolving Loans until such unidentified or unreconciled Collections are identified or reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, as the case may be.  In addition, if any such amount cannot be identified or reconciled to the satisfaction of Lender within the time period specified above, Lender may utilize its own staff or, if it deems necessary, engage an outside auditor, in either case at Borrower’s expense (which, in the case of Lender’s own staff, shall be in accordance with Lender’s then-prevailing customary charges (plus expenses)), to make such examination and report as may be necessary to identify and reconcile such amount.

  (e)	Borrower will not send to or deposit in the Commercial Lockbox any funds other than payments made with respect to Accounts.

  11

   

  

   

  (f)	Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(g), on each Business Day, Lender shall cause all Collections deposited and/or transferred to the Collection Account on the prior Business Day to be disbursed in the following order of priority:

  (i)	to Lender, any costs and Expenses of Lender required to be paid or reimbursed by Borrower under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents;

  (ii)	to Lender, in the amount of any Borrowing Base Deficiency, if any, to be applied against the Obligations;

  (iii)	subject to Section 2.03(c), to Lender, the amount of any prepayment of principal of which Borrower has given at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice; and

  (iv)	to Lender, to be applied to any Advances outstanding under the Revolving Loans.

  In addition, on each Settlement Date, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the amount, if any, by which the collected balance in the Collection Account exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances and all interest and other amounts that will be payable on or before the next Settlement Date.  Subject to the foregoing, any additional repayment of principal amounts hereunder shall require at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice from Borrower to Lender.

  2.08.	Application of Proceeds of Collateral.

  (a)	Unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, Lender agrees to apply all Collections as set forth in Section 2.07(f) hereof.

  (b)	If an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, Lender may apply Collections, any other proceeds of Collateral and all other payments received by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such order as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

  2.09.	Commitment Fee.  As of the Closing, Lender has fully earned, and Borrower shall have paid to Lender, a non-refundable commitment fee as set forth in the Fee Letter.  As of funding of the Additional Tranche, Lender shall have fully earned, and Borrower shall have paid to Lender an additional non-refundable commitment fee as set forth in the Fee Letter, each of which shall be deemed non-refundable when paid.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (collectively, “Excluded Assets”): (a) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding equity interests of any Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (e) of the definition thereof which equity interests entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, provided that the Collateral shall include one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding non-voting equity interests of such Excluded Subsidiary; (b) any interest of Borrower as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (c) rights held under a license or other contract that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is effective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); (d) any interest of Borrower as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Borrower is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Borrower, or Lender; (e) any “intent to use” trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed (but only until such statement is filed); (f) any property and assets subject to Permitted Liens securing Permitted Indebtedness; (g) motor vehicles and other similar assets subject to certificates of title or ownership (except to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement); and (h) Excluded Accounts.

  Borrower and the Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest created hereby in the Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) is not to be construed as an assignment of any copyrights, copyright licenses, patents, patent licenses, trademarks or trademark licenses.

  3.02.	Extent of Security Interests.  The security interest granted in Section 3.01 hereof shall extend and attach to all Collateral which is presently in existence or hereafter acquired and which is owned by Borrower or in which Borrower has any interest, whether held by Borrower or by others for Borrower’s account, and wherever located.

  3.03.	Lien Documents.  At Closing and thereafter as Lender deems necessary, Borrower shall execute (if required) and deliver to Lender, or shall have executed (if required) and delivered (all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender):

  3.04.	Other Actions.

  (a)	In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall do anything further that may be lawfully and reasonably required by Lender to perfect its security interests and to effectuate the intentions and objectives of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the execution (if required) and delivery of continuation statements, amendments to financing statements, security agreements, contracts and any other documents required hereunder.  At Lender’s request, Borrower shall also immediately deliver (with execution by Borrower of all necessary documents or forms to reflect Lender’s security interest therein) to Lender all items for which Lender must or may receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest.

  (b)	Lender is hereby authorized to file financing statements naming Borrower as debtor, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, and if necessary, to the extent applicable, to otherwise file financing statements without Borrower’s signature if permitted by law.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file all financing statements and amendments to financing statements describing the Collateral in any filing office as Lender, in its sole 

  13

   

  

   

  discretion may determine, Borrower agrees to comply with the requirements of all federal and state laws and requests of Lender in order for Lender to have and maintain a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral including executing and causing any other Person to execute such documents as Lender may require to obtain Control (as defined in the UCC) over all Deposit Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Investment Property (each as defined in the UCC).

Any reserves or balances to the credit of Borrower, and any other Property of Borrower in the possession of Lender, may be held by Lender and applied in whole or partial satisfaction of such Obligations which are then due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Liens and security interests granted to Lender herein and any other Lien or security interest which Lender may have in any other assets of Borrower secure payment and performance of all present and future Obligations.

  (b)	Notwithstanding Lender’s security interests in the Collateral, to the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by any assets or Property other than the Collateral, or by the guaranty, endorsement, assets or property of any other Person, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, security, Liens, security interests or remedies Lender shall at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way modifying or affecting any of such rights, security, Liens, security interests or remedies, or any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement.

  16

   

  

   

  failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.  In connection with this Agreement, Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has delivered to Lender a completed perfection certificate and any updates or supplements thereto on, before or after the Closing Date (each a “Perfection Certificate” and collectively, the “Perfection Certificates”).  For the avoidance of doubt, Lender agrees that the Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificates after the Closing Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement.  Borrower represents and warrants that all the information set forth on the Perfection Certificates pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete, in all non-ministerial respects.

The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

  (f)	None of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has used any software or other materials that are subject to an open-source or similar license (including the General Public License, Lesser General Public License, Mozilla Public License, or Affero License) (collectively, “Open Source Licenses”) in a manner that would cause any software or other materials owned by any Borrower or used in any Borrower products to have to be (i) distributed to

Borrower and each Subsidiary has fulfilled and performed all of its material obligations with respect to the Governmental Approvals, and, to the Knowledge of Borrower, no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or result in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Governmental Approval, except where such revocations, terminations or impairments could not, whether individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person acting for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to the Lender or to induce Lender to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement, when taken as a whole, is incorrect in any material respect when made;

  8.02.	[Reserved].  

  8.03.	Rights and Remedies on Default.

  (a)	In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may, in its discretion, charge Borrower the Default Rate on all then outstanding or thereafter incurred Obligations and/or withhold or cease making Advances under the Credit Facility, unless such Default or Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction or waived in accordance herewith.

  (b)	In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), Lender may, in its discretion, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, terminate the Credit Facility (it also being understood that the occurrence of any of the events or conditions set forth in Section 8.01(e) hereof shall automatically cause a termination of the Credit Facility without notice or demand).

  (c)	The Lender will be entitled to take any and all actions to enforce its claims against Borrower to recover the balance of the Indebtedness then due, including being entitled to pursue all remedies provided for by 

  35

   

  

   

  law, equity, or otherwise, and to exercise the warrants of attorney to confess judgment against Borrower contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

  (d)	The Lender will be entitled to take any and all actions permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or by law, equity or otherwise;

  (e)	In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), Lender may, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, while it exists, exercise all rights under the UCC and any other applicable law or in equity, by contract or otherwise, and under all Loan Documents permitted to be exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including the following rights and remedies (which list is given by way of example and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all such rights and remedies):

  (i)	Subject to all applicable laws and regulations governing payment of Medicare and Medicaid receivables or receivables owing by a Governmental Authority, the right to “take possession” of or foreclose on the Collateral (including removing from any premises at which same may be located any and all books and records, computers, electronic media and software programs associated with any Collateral (including electronic records, contracts and signatures pertaining thereto), documents, instruments and files, and any receptacles or cabinets containing same, relating to the Accounts) by any available judicial procedure, or without judicial process, and to enter any premises at which any Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same, and notify all Obligors of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and require payment under the Accounts to be made directly to Lender and Lender may, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, exercise all rights of a secured party with respect to the Collateral and collect, sue for and receive payment on all Accounts, and settle, compromise and adjust the same on any terms as may be satisfactory to Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or without reason, and Lender may do all of the foregoing with or without judicial process (including notifying the United States postal authorities to redirect mail addressed to Borrower to an address designated by Lender) and may use, at Borrower’s expense, such of Borrower’s personnel, supplies or space as may be necessary to manage such Accounts;

  (ii)	The right to require Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender, which may include providing Lender or any entity designated by Lender with access (either remote or direct) to Borrower’s information system for purposes of monitoring, posting payments and rebilling Accounts to the extent deemed desirable by Lender in its sole discretion;

  (iii)	The right to reduce or modify the Revolving Loan Commitment, Borrowing Base or any portion thereof or the Advance Rates or to modify the terms and conditions upon which Lender may be willing to consider making Advances under the Credit Facility or to take additional reserves in the Borrowing Base for any reason; or

  (iv)	The right to sell, assign and deliver all or any part of the Collateral and any returned, reclaimed or repossessed merchandise, in the name of Borrower or Lender, or in the name of such other party as Lender may designate, with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at Lender’s sole discretion, with or without warranties or representations (including warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like), and upon such other terms and conditions as Lender in its sole discretion may deem advisable, and Lender may bid or become a purchaser at any such sale, free from any right of redemption, which right is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.  If any Inventory and Equipment shall require rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, Lender shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to do such of the aforesaid as is necessary, for the purpose of putting the Inventory and Equipment in such saleable form as Lender shall deem appropriate.

  (f)	Borrower hereby agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition.  If permitted by applicable law, any Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold 

  36

   

  

   

  immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower.  Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral.

  (g)	Lender is hereby granted, until the Obligations are paid in full and all obligations of Lender hereunder are terminated, a worldwide license to use, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without charge, all of Borrower’s labels, trademarks (and associated goodwill), copyrights, patents and advertising matter, and any other form of Intellectual Property, as they pertain to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling of any Collateral.

  (h)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.03 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 8.03; provided, that, Lender may also exercise all such rights and remedies following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

  8.04.	[Intentionally Omitted].

  8.05.	Nature of Remedies.  All rights and remedies granted Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until all Obligations are satisfied in full.  The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order.

  8.06.	Set-Off.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender and/or any Affiliate of Lender and/or participant with Lender shall have and be deemed to have, without notice to Borrower, the immediate right of set-off and may apply the funds or other amounts or Property thus set off against any of Borrower’s Obligations hereunder.

  8.07.	Application of Proceeds.  The net cash proceeds resulting from Lender’s exercise of any of Lender’s rights pursuant to this Article 8 (after deducting all Expenses relating thereto) shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.08(b) hereof, and Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiencies, and Lender in turn agrees to remit to Borrower or its successors or assigns, any surplus resulting therefrom.

  ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

  9.01.	GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED WITHOUT THE AID OF ANY CANON, CUSTOM OR RULE OF LAW REQUIRING CONSTRUCTION AGAINST THE DRAFTSMAN.

  9.02.	Integrated Agreement.  This Agreement, the Revolving Note and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not restricting Lender’s rights and remedies.  If, after applying the foregoing, an inconsistency still exists, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment thereto and shall control.

  9.03.	Waiver and Indemnity. 

  (a)	No omission or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power under this Agreement or any related agreements and documents will impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or power will not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and as to Borrower no waiver will be valid unless in writing and signed by Lender and then only to the extent specified.

  37

   

  

   

  (b)	Borrower releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including Expenses and reasonable legal fees) of any kind or nature, which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party (including any such assertion by or on behalf of Borrower), resulting from, in connection with, or otherwise relating to or arising out of (i) acts or conduct of Borrower under, pursuant or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) Lender’s exercise of (or failure to exercise) any of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including (A) any sale or transfer of the Collateral, (B) the preservation, repair, maintenance, preparation for sale or securing of any Collateral, and (C) the defense of Lender’s interests in the Collateral (including the defense of claims brought by Borrower as a debtor-in-possession or otherwise, any secured or unsecured creditors of Borrower, or any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy); (iii) any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up and Borrower’s off-site disposal practices; (iv) any regulatory investigation or proceeding by any regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction over Borrower; (v) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any action taken (or failure to act) by any Indemnified Party with respect thereto (including any amounts paid or payable by Lender (x) to any prior lender of Borrower pursuant to any indemnity or reimbursement obligation in any payoff letter or otherwise, (y) to any depository institution of Borrower pursuant to any indemnity or reimbursement obligation in any Control Agreement, Depository Agreement, or other agreement with such depository institution and (z) to any other third party in connection with any indemnity or reimbursement obligation in any Collateral Access Agreement or other agreement between Lender and such third party); (vi) Borrower’s breach, or alleged breach, or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (vii) Borrower’s failure, or alleged failure, to comply with any or all laws, statutes, ordinances, governmental rules, regulations or standards, whether federal, state or local, or court or administrative orders or decrees (including environmental laws, etc.), and (viii) Borrower’s use of the PPP Program, any PPP Loan and any and all subject matters related thereto, and all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or other damages resulting therefrom, unless resulting from acts or conduct of Lender constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The provisions of this Section 9.03(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full and satisfaction of the Obligations. This Section 9.03(b) and Section 9.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

  9.04.	Time.  Whenever Borrower shall be required to make any payment, or perform any act, on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made, or such act may be performed, on the next succeeding Business Day.  Time is of the essence in Borrower’s performance under all provisions of this Agreement and all related agreements and documents.

  9.05.	Expenses of Lender.

  At Closing and from time to time thereafter, Borrower will pay all reasonable and documented expenses of Lender on demand (including search costs, audit fees, appraisal fees, and reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel for Lender) relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including expenses incurred in the analysis, negotiation, preparation, closing, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the enforcement, protection and defense of the rights of Lender in and to the Revolving Loans and Collateral or otherwise hereunder, and any reasonable and documented expenses relating to extensions, amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, or any related agreements and documents or relating to agreements with other creditors, or termination of this Agreement (collectively, the “Expenses”); provided that the aggregate amount of Lender’s Expenses (as defined under the Term Loan Agreement) and Expenses incurred on or prior to the Closing Date reimbursable by Borrower shall not exceed $350,000 (inclusive of the diligence deposit already paid by Borrower).  Any Expenses not paid upon demand by Lender (and such non-payment constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

  9.06.	Confidentiality.  In handling any confidential information of Borrower, the Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of such confidential information and exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for their own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in connection with Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions and upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing 

  38

   

  

   

  or securitization transaction; (b) to prospective transferees (other than those identified in (a) above) or purchasers of any interest in the Term Loans (provided, however, the Lender shall, except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision or to similar confidentiality terms); (c) as required by law, rule, regulation, regulatory or self-regulatory authority, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with an examination or audit; (e) as Lender reasonably considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third party service providers of the Lender so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement or have agreed to similar confidentiality terms with the Lender, as applicable, with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.  Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Lender’s possession when disclosed to the Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Lender through no breach of this provision by the Lender; or (ii) is disclosed to the Lender by a third party, if the Lender does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.  The Lender may use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as the Lender does not disclose the identity of the Borrower or the Identity of any person associated with the Borrower.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  The agreements provided under this Section 12.8 supersede all prior agreements, understanding, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Section.

  9.07.	Notices.

  (a)	Any notices or consents required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered in Person or if sent by facsimile, by scanned image or by nationally recognized overnight courier, or via first-class, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such party set forth on the signature pages hereof, unless such address is changed by written notice hereunder;

  (b)	Any notice sent by Lender or Borrower by any of the above methods shall be deemed to be given when so received; and

  (c)	Lender shall be fully entitled to rely upon any facsimile or scanned image transmission or other writing purported to be sent by any Authorized Officer (whether requesting an Advance or otherwise) as being genuine and authorized.

  9.08.	Brokerage.  Borrower represents that Borrower has not committed Lender to the payment of any brokerage fee, commission or charge in connection with this transaction.  If any such claim is made on Lender by any broker, finder or agent or other Person, Borrower hereby indemnifies, defends and saves Lender harmless against such claim and further will defend, with counsel satisfactory to Lender, any action or actions to recover on such claim, at Borrower’s own cost and expense, including Lender’s reasonable counsel fees.  Borrower further agrees that until any such claim or demand is adjudicated in Lender’s favor, the amount demanded shall be deemed an Obligation of Borrower under this Agreement.

  9.09.	Headings.  The headings of any paragraph or section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret any provision of this Agreement.

  9.10.	Survival.  All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents or on any certificate, document or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf under this Agreement, shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender, and shall survive the delivery to Lender of the Revolving Note, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf.  All statements in any such certificate or other instrument prepared and/or delivered to the Lender shall constitute warranties and representations by Borrower hereunder.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants made by Borrower hereunder or under any other agreement Loan Document shall be deemed continuing until all Obligations are satisfied in full.

  9.11.	[Reserved].  

  39

   

  

   

  9.12.	Duplicate Originals.  Two (2) or more duplicate originals of this Agreement may be signed by the parties, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one completed fully executed document.

  9.13.	Modification.  No modification hereof or any agreement referred to herein shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed by Borrower and Lender.

  9.14.	Signatories.  Each individual signatory hereto represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of his principal and that he executes the Agreement in such capacity and not as a party.

  9.15.	Third Parties.  No rights are intended to be created hereunder, or under any other Loan Document for the benefit of any third-party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of Borrower.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a delegation to Lender of Borrower’s duty of performance, including Borrower’s duties under any Account or contract with any other Person.

  9.16.	Waivers.  

  (a)	Borrower hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and any notices thereof as well as notices of nonpayment, intent to accelerate and acceleration. To the extent there is more than one Borrower hereunder, each of such Borrower hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and fully subordinates in favor of Lender any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or contract) to assert or receive payment on any claim against the other co-Borrower(s), on account of payments made under this Agreement, including any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity.  To the extent there is more than one Borrower hereunder, each of such Borrower waives any event or circumstances that might constitute a legal or equitable defense of, or discharge of, such Borrower.  Furthermore, Borrower agrees that if Borrower makes any payment on the Obligations or Lender enforces its Liens or Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, in whole or in part, including without limitation in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or against Borrower, then, to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.  Borrower consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets or Collateral in favor of Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

  (b)	Borrower hereby consents and agrees that Lender, at any time or from time to time in its discretion, may:  (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle, compromise or grant releases for liabilities of Borrower, and/or any other Person or Persons liable for any Obligations, (ii) exchange, release, surrender, sell, subordinate or compromise any Collateral of any party now or hereafter securing any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, and (iii) following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any and all payments received at any time against the Obligations in any order as Lender may determine; all of the foregoing in such manner and upon such terms as Lender may see fit, without notice to or further consent from Borrower, who hereby agrees and shall remain bound upon this Agreement notwithstanding any such action on Lender’s part.

  (c)	The liability of Borrower hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced, impaired or affected in any way by reason of (i) any failure to obtain, retain or preserve, or the lack of prior enforcement of, any rights against any Person or Persons (including other Borrower), or in any Property, (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligations or rights in any Collateral, (iii) any delay in making demand upon Borrower or any delay in enforcing, or any failure to enforce, any rights against Borrower or in any Collateral even if such rights are thereby lost, (iv) any failure, neglect or omission to obtain, perfect or retain any Lien upon, protect, exercise rights against, or realize on, any Property of Borrower, or any other party securing the Obligations, (v) the existence or nonexistence of any defenses which may be available to the other Borrower with respect to the Obligations, or (vi) the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or receivership proceeding or case filed by or against Borrower.

  40

   

  

   

  (d)	Borrower subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing by any other Borrower to such Borrower to the obligations at any time owing by such other Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

  9.17.	CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS WHETHER ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR UNDERTAKING.  BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO IMPROPER VENUE AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT OR COURTS AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRANSFER FOR ANY REASON.  BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED TO THE ADDRESS OF THE APPROPRIATE PARTY SET FORTH HEREIN.

  9.18.	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST LENDER WITH RESPECT TO RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE.

  9.19.	Publication.  Borrower grants Lender the right to publish and/or advertise information to the effect that this transaction has closed, which information may include, without limit, (a) the names of Borrower and Lender, (b) the size of the transaction and (c) those items of information commonly included within a “tombstone advertisement” of the type customarily published in financial or business periodicals.

  9.20.	[Reserved]. 

  9.21.	Injunctive Relief.  The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any party’s obligations hereunder, the other party may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including maintaining the cash management and collection procedure described herein.  However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement.

  9.22.	Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.  Borrower may not transfer, pledge or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion).  The Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, negotiate, or grant participation in (any such sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or grant of a participation, a “Lender Transfer”) all or any part of, or any interest in, the Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that any such Lender Transfer (other than (i) any Transfer at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) a transfer, pledge, sale or assignment to an Eligible Assignee) of its obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall require the prior written consent of the Lender and Borrower (such consent of Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (such approved assignee, an “Approved Lender”).  Borrower and Lender shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until Lender shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in form satisfactory to Lender executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee or Approved Lender as Lender reasonably shall require.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender Transfer (other than a Lender Transfer in connection with (x) assignments by Lender due to a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency; or (y) upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions) shall be permitted, without Borrower’s consent, to any Person which is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower, a then-current direct competitor, vulture fund or distress investment fund of Borrower, as reasonably determined by Lender at the time of such 

  41

   

  

   

  assignment.  Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender, and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Revolving Loans owing to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of 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 Revolving 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 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 or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and 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, Lender shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Annex II attached hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Annex II attached hereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7 of Annex II attached hereto shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Annex II attached hereto, 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.

  9.23.	Severability.  If any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision’s severance.  Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.

  9.24.	Authority.  Without limiting the powers granted to Lender in Section 8.03 hereof, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, or any Person or agent which Lender may designate, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to exercise all the following powers, which authority shall be irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement and the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations to: (a) receive, take, endorse, sign, assign and deliver, all in the name of Lender or Borrower, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other documents or instruments relating to the Collateral; (b) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Lender may designate; (c) request from customers indebted on Accounts at any time, in the name of Lender, information concerning the amounts owing on the Accounts; (d) request from customers indebted on Accounts at any time, in the name of Borrower any certified public accountant designated by Lender or any other designee of Lender, information concerning the amounts owing on the Accounts; (e) transmit to customers indebted on Accounts notice of Lender’s interest therein and to notify customers indebted on Accounts to make payment directly to Lender for Borrower’s account (subject to all applicable laws and regulations governing payment of Medicare and Medicaid receivables or receivables owing by a Governmental Authority); and/or (f) take or bring, in the name of Lender or Borrower all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Lender necessary or desirable to enforce or effect collection of the Accounts.

  9.25.	Usury Limit.  In no event shall Borrower, upon demand by Lender for payment of any indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount permitted by law.

  1. Purpose. The purpose of the Outset Medical, Inc.

  4

  

   

   

  (d)Except as otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the commencement of an Offering Period, a Participant may not increase the rate of payroll deductions or other contributions to be made to the Plan during a Purchase Period.

Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during a Purchase Period, but not more than one (1) change may be made effective during any Purchase Period, except that a Participant may elect at any time during a Purchase Period, regardless of whether the Participant previously decreased his or her payroll deduction percentage, to reduce his or her contribution percentage to 0% and such change shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant elects such change and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. If a Participant reduces his or her payroll deduction percentage to 0%, then any election to purchase Shares pursuant to the Cashless Participation Program shall automatically terminate. A Participant may change his or her payroll deduction percentage or additional contribution amount under subsection (a) above for any subsequent Purchase Period by properly completing and submitting an election change form in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Committee. The change in amount shall be effective as of the first Enrollment Date following the date of filing of the election change form.

  (e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a Participant’s payroll deduction and additional contribution elections may be decreased to 0% at any time during an Offering Period. Payroll deductions and additional contributions shall recommence at the rate provided in such Participant’s election form at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 12 hereof.

  7.Grant of Option.

  8.Exercise of Option. A Participant’s Option for the purchase of Shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of Shares subject to the Option shall be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions and additional contributions in his or her Purchase Account. If the Fair Market Value of a Share on the first day of the current Offering Period in which a participant is enrolled is higher than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Company may establish procedures to automatically enroll such participant in the subsequent Offering Period and any funds accumulated in a participant’s account prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period will be applied to the purchase of shares on the Exercise Date immediately prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period. A participant does not need to file any forms with the Company to be automatically enrolled in the subsequent Offering Period.

  No fractional Shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions and other contributions accumulated in a Participant’s Purchase Account which are not sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be retained in the

  Purchase Account for the next subsequent Purchase Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 12 hereof. All other payroll deductions and other contributions accumulated in a Participant’s Purchase Account and not used to purchase Shares on an Exercise Date shall be distributed to the Participant. During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s Option is exercisable only by him or her. The Company shall satisfy the exercise of all Participants’ Options for the purchase of Shares through (a) the issuance of authorized but unissued Shares, (b) the transfer of treasury Shares, (c) the purchase of Shares on behalf of the applicable Participants on the open market through an independent broker and/or (d) a combination of the foregoing.

  9.Issuance of Stock. The Shares purchased by each Participant shall be issued in book entry form and shall be considered to be issued and outstanding to such Participant’s credit as of the end of the last day of each Purchase Period. The Committee may permit or require that shares be deposited directly in a Brokerage Account with one or more brokers designated by the Committee or to one or more designated agents of the Company, and the Committee may use electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Committee may require that Shares be retained with such brokers or agents for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares, and may also impose a transaction fee with respect to a sale of Shares issued to a Participant’s credit and held by such a broker or agent. The Committee may permit Shares purchased under the Plan to participate in a dividend reinvestment plan or program maintained by the Company, and establish a default method for the payment of dividends.

  10.Approval by Stockholders. Notwithstanding the above, the Plan is expressly made subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state law. If the Plan is not so approved by the stockholders within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, this Plan shall not come into effect.

  11.Administration.

  (a)Powers and Duties of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to the 423 Component, the Committee shall have the discretionary authority to determine the time and frequency of granting Options, the duration of Offering Periods and Purchase Periods, the terms and conditions of the Options and the number of Shares subject to each Option. The Committee shall also have the discretionary authority to do everything necessary and appropriate to administer the Plan, including, without limitation, interpreting the provisions of the Plan (but any such interpretation shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component). All actions, decisions and determinations of, and interpretations by the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be final and binding upon all Participants and upon their executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs and legatees. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action, decision, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted hereunder. With respect to the 423 Component, an Offering Period shall be administered so as to ensure that all Participants have the same rights and privileges as provided by Section 423(b)(5) of the Code.

  (f)Administrator. The Company, Board or the Committee may engage the services of one or more brokerage firms or other companies to perform certain ministerial and procedural duties under the Plan including, but not limited to, mailing and receiving notices contemplated under the Plan, determining the number of Purchased Shares for each Participant, maintaining or causing to be maintained the Purchase Account and the Brokerage Account, disbursing funds maintained in the Purchase Account or proceeds from the sale of Shares through the Brokerage Account, and filing with the appropriate tax authorities proper tax returns and forms (including information returns) and providing to each Participant statements as required by law or regulation.

  (g)Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been (a) a member of the Board, (b) a member of the Committee, or (c) an officer or employee of the Company to whom authority was delegated in relation to this Plan, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding against him or her; provided, however, that he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute.

  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any contract with the Company, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or of any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

  12.Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan by properly completing and submitting to the Company a withdrawal form in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Committee, which must be submitted prior to the date specified by the Committee before the last day of the applicable Offering Period. Upon withdrawal, any payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s Purchase Account prior to the effective date of the Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan will be returned to the Participant. No further payroll deductions or additional contributions for the purchase of Shares will be made during subsequent Offering Periods, unless the Participant properly completes and submits an election form, by the deadline prescribed by the Company. A Participant’s withdrawal from an offering will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan or in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company.

  13.Termination of Employment. On the Termination Date of a Participant for any reason prior to the applicable Exercise Date, whether voluntary or involuntary, and including termination of employment due to retirement, death or as a result of liquidation, dissolution, sale, merger or a similar event affecting the Company or a Participating Subsidiary, the corresponding payroll deductions credited to his or her Purchase Account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 16, and his or her Option will be automatically terminated.

  14.Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions or other contributions of a Participant in the Plan.

  15.Stock.

  (a)The stock subject to Options shall be common stock of the Company as traded on NASDAQ or on such other exchange as the Shares may be listed.

  (h)Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18 hereof, the maximum number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 687,218 Shares. In addition, subject to adjustments upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18 hereof, the maximum number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, and continuing until (and including) the fiscal year ending December 31, 2030, with such annual increase equal to the lesser of (i) 687,218 Shares, (ii) 1% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (iii) an amount determined by the Board. If, on a given Exercise Date, the number of Shares with respect to which Options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.

  (i)A Participant shall have no interest or voting right in Shares covered by his or her Option until such Option has been exercised and the Participant has become a holder of record of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise.

  16.Designation of Beneficiary. The Committee may permit Participants to designate beneficiaries to receive any Purchased Shares or payroll deductions, if any, in the Participant’s accounts under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death. Beneficiary designations shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee. If no properly designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the Purchased Shares and payroll deductions, if any, will be distributed to the Participant’s estate.

  17.Assignability of Options. Neither payroll deductions or other contributions credited to a Participant’s Purchase Account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an Option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 16 hereof) by the Participant; provided that the Shares acquired pursuant to the terms of the Cashless Participation Program may be pledged and sold pursuant to the terms of the Cashless Participation Program. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 12 hereof.

  18.Adjustment of Number of Shares Subject to Options.

  (a)Adjustment. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the maximum number of securities available for purchase under the Plan, as well as the price per security and the number of securities covered by each Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of any a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock of the Company, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board or the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being available under the Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option. With respect to the 423 Component, the Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes the Options to fail to qualify as options issued pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.

  8

  

   

   

  (j)Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board, and the Board may either provide for the purchase of Shares as of the date on which such Offering Period terminates or return to each Participant the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s Purchase Account.

  (k)Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation, unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion, that in lieu of such assumption or substitution to either terminate all outstanding Options and return to each Participant the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s Purchase Account or to provide for the Offering Period in progress to end on a date prior to the consummation of such sale or merger.

  19.Amendments or Termination of the Plan.

  (a)The Board or the Committee may at any time and for any reason amend, modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan without notice; provided that no Participant’s existing rights in respect of existing Options are adversely affected thereby. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

  (l)Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Board or the Committee shall be entitled to change the Purchase Price, Offering Periods, Purchase Periods, eligibility requirements, limit or increase the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during a Purchase Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding or other contributions in an amount less than or greater than the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Shares for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board or the Committee determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan; provided, however, that changes to (i) the Purchase Price, (ii) the Offering Period, (iii) the Purchase Period, (iv) the maximum percentage of Compensation that may be deducted pursuant to Section 6(a) or (v) the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased in a Purchase Period, shall not be effective until communicated to Participants in a reasonable manner, with the determination of such reasonable manner in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee.

  20.No Other Obligations. The receipt of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to purchase any Shares covered by such Option. Nor shall the granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan constitute an agreement or an understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Company to employ the Participant for any specified period.

  21.Notices and Communication. Any notice or other form of communication which the Company or a Participant may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be provided through such means as designated by the Committee, including but not limited to any paper or electronic method.

  22.Condition upon Issuance of Shares.

  9

  

   

   

  (a)Shares shall not be issued with respect to an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

  (m)As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

  23.General Compliance. The Plan will be administered and Options will be exercised in compliance with the 1933 Act, 1934 Act and all other applicable securities laws and Company policies, including without limitation, any insider trading policy of the Company.

  24.Term of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of (i) its adoption by the Board and (ii) its approval by the stockholders of the Company (the earlier of such events, the “Effective Date”), and shall continue in effect until the earlier of (A) the termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 19 hereof and (B) the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date, with no new Offering Periods commencing on or after such ten-year anniversary.

  25.Governing Law. The Plan and all Options granted hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to choice of law principles and subject in all cases to the Code and the regulations thereunder.

  26.Non-U.S. Participants. To the extent permitted under Section 423 of the Code, without the amendment of the Plan, the Company may provide for the participation in the Plan by Employees who are subject to the laws of foreign countries or jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may in the judgment of the Company be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes the Company may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws of other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or the Participating Subsidiaries operate or have employees. Each subplan shall constitute a separate “offering” under this Plan in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.423-2(a) and, to the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423, any such subplan shall be considered part of the Non-423 Component, and rights granted thereunder shall not be required by the terms of the Plan to comply with Section 423 of the Code. 

  10

  

   

   

  27.Section 409A. The 423 Component is exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. The Non-423 Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Section 409A of the Code, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Committee would not violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a participant or any other party if the option under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.
