 ARTICLE VI 
 Eligibility 
  
 Consistent
with this Plan’s purposes and the terms herein, Options may be granted to Eligible Participants at times and based on criteria the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines are appropriate. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 Option Terms and Conditions 
  
 All Options granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto, or such other form as the Committee shall approve from time to time. The Stock Option
Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other provisions as the Committee may adopt, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, including the following provisions: 
  
 A.    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share
for each Option granted under this Plan shall be set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that if such Option is an ISO, the exercise price per share shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
date such ISO is granted (the “Exercise Price”). 
  
 B.    Term of Option. No Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after the date ten (10) years after the earlier of the Adoption Date or the Effective Date, as those terms are defined in Article XIII. Options
which are outstanding after such date will, however, remain in effect until such Options are exercised or expire pursuant to their terms. An Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted.

  
 C.    Transfer of Options. Options
granted under the Plan shall be transferrable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition, Nonqualified Stock Options granted under the Plan can be transferred during the lifetime of the Optionee only if all of the following
conditions are satisfied: (1) the Committee has approved the proposed transfer in writing; (2) the proposed transfer is to be made without consideration; (3) the proposed transferee is a member or members of the Optionee’s immediate family
(i.e., a child, or children, a grandchild or grandchildren, or the Optionee’s spouse) and/or to a trust established for the benefit of an immediate family member or members, or a family limited partnership which includes the Optionee and/or
members of the Optionee’s immediate family, or a trust established for the benefit of the Optionee, and/or an immediate family member or members and a charity exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code 501 (c)(3); and (4) after transfer,
each Option transferred by the Optionee shall remain subject to the provisions of the Plan under which it was granted. 
  

 5 

 D.    Time of Exercise. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable on the date or dates, and during the period, and for the number of shares specified in the Stock Option Agreement. The Committee may establish vesting provisions applicable to an Option such that the Option becomes fully exercisable, for
example, in a series of cumulating portions. The Committee may, upon request, permit the accelerated exercise of any Option, the exercise of all or a portion of which is subject to vesting provisions. Also, exercise of an Option shall be accelerated
upon the occurrence of an event of acceleration as described in any applicable Stock Option Agreement or this Plan. 
  
 E.    Exercise. An Option or portion thereof shall be exercised by delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of
the Company and payment of the full Exercise Price. Until the certificates for Option Shares represented by an exercised Option are issued to an Optionee, such Optionee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder. No Option Shares shall be
delivered upon any exercise of an Option until the requirements of all applicable laws, rules and regulations have, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, been satisfied. Under normal circumstances, certificates for Option Shares to be
delivered upon exercise of an Option shall be delivered within thirty (30) days following exercise of an Option. 
  
 F.    Payment. The Exercise Price payable upon exercise of an Option or portion thereof may be paid: 
  

	 	(i)	in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or money order, 

  

	 	(ii)	by delivery of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Exercise Price, or 

  

	 	(iii)	by a combination of both (i) and (ii) above. 

  
 If the Optionee delivers shares of Common Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option, the Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering such
shares by the Optionee, and may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of Common Stock for such purposes as it deems appropriate. 
  
 G.    Termination of Service. Subject to the terms set forth in any employment or other binding agreement, in the event an
Optionee’s Current Position, as defined below, with the Company shall terminate (i) “for cause,” as defined below, while holding one or more Options, that portion of each Option which is not then currently exercisable shall expire
coincident with the termination of the Optionee’s Current Position, or (ii) for a reason other than “for cause,” other than by reason of disability or death as discussed below, any Options or portion thereof which are exercisable on
the date of such termination shall be exercisable until a date three (3) months after such date of termination or shall expire 

  

 6 

 
coincident with such three (3) month period, except to the extent the Committee shall determine otherwise by rules established and administered in a
consistent and nondiscriminatory manner in compliance with the terms of this Plan and the Code. For purposes hereof, “Current Position” shall mean the Optionee’s position with the Company as an employee or director. For purposes
hereof, “for cause” shall mean termination of an Eligible Participant’s Current Position with the Company because of such Eligible Participant’s (i) willful misfeasance, willful waste of corporate assets, gross negligence or
willful and continued failure to substantially perform his reasonably assigned duties or (ii) willful engagement and dishonest or illegal conduct that is demonstrably injurious to the Company. 
  
 Upon the termination of an Eligible Participant’s Current Position with
the Company by reason of disability or death, the Option may be exercised during the following periods, but only to the extent that the Option was outstanding and exercisable on any such date of disability or death: 
  

	 	(i)	One (1) year after termination of Current Position due to disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; or 

  

	 	(ii)	Six (6) months after termination of Current Position due to the Optionee’s death. 

  
 For the purposes of this Plan, it shall not be considered a termination of Current Position when an Optionee is placed by
the Company on military or sick leave or such other type of leave of absence that is deemed by the Committee to continue intact the employment relationship. 
  
 However, non-employee directors who resign, other than “for cause” and other than by reason of disability or death, as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Company after serving as a director for a minimum of five years, shall be permitted to exercise any vested Option at any time prior to the expiration date of the Option. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section VII.G. to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion, but subject to the
approval of the Board of Directors, may waive any restrictions, including applicable exercise periods. 
  
 H.    Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options. 
  
 (a) Employment Status. An ISO may only be granted to Employees and must be granted for a reason connected with
employment, as defined in the Code, by the Company and shall not be exercisable unless the Optionee was, at all times during the period beginning on the date of the grant of the Option and ending on the date three (3) months (one year if the
Optionee is disabled, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) before the exercise of the Option, an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, except that such 

  

 7 

 
employment requirement does not apply in the event of an Optionee’s death as provided in Section 421(c)(1) of the Code. 
  
 (b) Ten Percent Stockholder. No ISO shall be granted under this Plan
to a Ten Percent Share Owner unless (a) such ISO is granted at an exercise price not less than 110% of Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and (b) such ISO expires on a date not later than five years from the date of grant.

  
 (c) Aggregate Value of Options. The aggregate Fair
Market Value (determined at the time the ISO is granted) of ISOs granted by the Company (under this and all other Plans) to an Optionee which are exercisable for the first time by such Optionee in any single calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

  
 (d) Notification of Disqualifying Dispositions. Any
Optionee who disposes of Option Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO during the period within two years from the date such Option is granted or within one year after the transfer of the Option Shares to such Optionee pursuant to the
ISO’s exercise (the “ISO Nontransfer Periods”) shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Adjustments

  
 In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other
subdivision, consolidation, reorganization or similar change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock or capital structure of the Company (collectively, a “Stock Adjustment”), the following shall occur under the Plan: (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock reserved or otherwise available under Article V for Options, and subject to outstanding Options, shall be adjusted proportionately (and automatically reduced by any fraction resulting from such adjustment); and (ii) the
Exercise Price per share of outstanding Options shall be adjusted so that the aggregate Exercise Price payable pursuant to each outstanding Option after the Stock Adjustment shall equal the aggregate amount so payable prior to the Stock Adjustment.
In the event of any dispute concerning such adjustment, the decision of the Committee shall be conclusive. If a Stock Adjustment is made, the Committee shall notify all Optionees of such adjustment within thirty (30) days of making such an
adjustment, which notification shall state the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock for which a particular Option is exercisable. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
 Corporate Reorganization
or Initial Public Offering 
  
 9.01    Merger, Consolidation or Change of Control. In connection with any merger, consolidation, change in control or similar reorganization, 

  

 8 

 
excluding an initial public offering (“Reorganization”), the Committee may in its discretion: 
  

	 	(i)	Negotiate a binding agreement whereby any acquiring or successor corporation will assume each Option then outstanding or substitute an equivalent option meeting the requirements of
Section 424(a) of the Code for each Option outstanding. 

  

	 	(ii)	Accelerate any applicable vesting provisions; or 

  

	 	(iii)	Authorize cash payments to Optionees equal to the difference between the aggregate Exercise Price of each Option then outstanding irrespective of the Option’s current
exercisability, and (i) in the event the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Fair Market Value of the shares covered by such Option or, (ii) the average of the daily Closing Prices, as defined below, per share of Common Stock for the ten (10)
consecutive trading days commencing fifteen (15) trading days before such date as determined by the Committee. For purposes hereof, “Closing Price”shall mean, with respect to each share of Common Stock for any day, (a) the last reported
sale price or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asking price, in either case as reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading or (b)
if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, the last reported sale price, or in the case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the highest reported bid and the lowest reported asked
quotation for the Common Stock, in either case as reported on the Automatic Quotation System of NASDAQ or a similar service if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information. Any cash payment which the Company may be required to make pursuant to
such Committee authorization shall be made within sixty days following such authorization and fully discharge any and all obligations the Company may have in connection with the Options. 

  
 Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Committee shall have no obligation to take
any action in connection with a Reorganization.

 ARTICLE X 
 Securities and Other Regulation 
  
 10.01    Applicable Law. The obligation of the Company to issue Common Stock upon the exercise of Options shall be subject to all applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders which shall then be in effect and
required by governmental entities and the stock exchanges on which the Common Stock may then be traded. 
  
 10.02    Disclosure and Certificate Legend. Any person exercising an Option shall make such representations and furnish such
information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Option Shares in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws or any comparable
laws. If appropriate under applicable law, the Company may legend the stock certificates evidencing the shares in a manner that is the same or similar to that which follows: “The securities evidenced by this certificate have been issued to the
registered owner in reliance upon written representations that these shares have been purchased for investment. These shares may not be sold, transferred, or assigned unless, in the opinion of the Company and its legal counsel, such sale, transfer,
or assignment will not be in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and any applicable state securities laws.” 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Company to file any
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable securities laws with respect to any Options or Option Shares. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
 Amendment and Termination
of Plan 
  
 11.01    Amendment or
Termination. The Board, without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, may at any time and from time to time suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend the Plan in such respects as the Board may deem appropriate and
in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, or without approval of a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote
thereon which would: 
  
 (a) change the class of persons from
which Eligible Participants are selected; 
  
 (b) increase the
total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Options, except as provided in Article VIII; 
  
 (c) reduce the Exercise Price; 
  

 10 

 (d) extend the period for granting Options; or 
  
 (e) otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to Optionees.

  
 11.02    No Impairment. No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the Optionee’s written consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted to such Optionee under this Plan. 
  
 11.03    Conforming Amendments. The Board may
amend the Plan, subject to the limitations cited above, in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Options meeting the requirements of future amendments, if any, to the Code. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
 Miscellaneous Provisions 
  
 12.01    Right to Continued Employment. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Option, and the grant of Options shall not be construed as giving an Optionee the right to be
retained in the employ of, or retain any other relationship with, the Company. Further, the Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss an Optionee with or without cause, free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as
provided herein or in another binding agreement. 
  
 12.02    Rights as Stockholders. No Optionee or his heirs, successors or assigns shall have any rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option until the date of the issuance of stock
certificates for such Option Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or other rights distributed with respect to the Common Stock for which the record date is prior
to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Article VIII. 
  
 12.03    Non-Transferability. No right or interest in any Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, except as set forth in Section VII.C. hereof, and no right or
interest of any Optionee shall be subject to attachment or garnishment proceedings. 
  
 12.04    Withholding Taxes. To cover applicable withholding for income and employment taxes in the event of the exercise of an NQO or upon a disqualifying disposition during the ISO
Nontransfer Periods, or at such times as it may be necessary, the Company shall withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise to be received by the Optionee equal in value to the federal and state withholding taxes due upon said exercise. The
withholding by the Company for such tax liability shall be mandatory; provided, however, the payment of such liability by the Company on behalf of the Optionee does not cause the Company to 

  

 11 

 
be in violation of any loan covenant or other agreement or law to which it may be subject. In such event, the Optionee must satisfy such liability in cash
upon the request of the Company and comply with all applicable securities laws. 
  
 12.05    Plan Expenses. Any expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 
  
 12.06    Use of Exercise Proceeds. The Payment received from Optionees from the exercise of Options shall be used for the
general corporate purposes of the Company. 
  
 12.07    No Liability of Committee Members and Indemnification Thereof. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by him or on his behalf in his
capacity as a member of the Committee, nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other officer, employee or director of the Company to whom any duty or
power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost and expense, including legal fees and costs, or liability, including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the
Board, arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith, provided that within fifteen business days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding by
service of process on the Committee member, such member shall give the Company written notice thereof and an opportunity, at the Company’s expense, to undertake to defend the same before such Committee member undertakes such defense on his own
behalf, and provided that the Committee member cooperates with the Company in such defense and takes no actions (including inaction) which would materially prejudice the Company. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such
other rights as the Committee member or other person may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind. Rights granted hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnification to which the
Committee member or other person may be entitled pursuant to the bylaws of the Company or its subsidiaries. 
  
 12.08    Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been included herein. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII

	13.3	If, following the making of any increased payment by the Issuer pursuant to Clause 13.1, a Noteholder receives or is granted a credit against, remission for or repayment of any tax
payable or suffered by it which is referable to such deduction or withholding or such increased payment and which confers a genuine benefit on such Noteholder, such Noteholder shall, to the extent that the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as
experts and not as arbitrators) are reasonably satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such credit, remission or repayment, promptly reimburse the Issuer with such amount as the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as
experts and not as arbitrators) shall reasonably determine and certify (substantiating in reasonably sufficient detail the amount concerned but not including any matters which such Noteholder fairly regards as confidential) to the Issuer to be such
proportion of such credit, remission or repayment as will leave such Noteholder (after such reimbursement) in no better position (after tax) than would have been the case had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

  

	13.4	Reimbursement shall be made under Clause 13.3 above within seven (7) days after a Noteholder has actually received the benefit of such exemption, credit, emission or repayment, but
any reimbursement shall include an amount in respect of interest or repayment supplement on or in respect of tax actually received or credited to such Noteholder in respect of such exemption, credit, remission or repayment and such Noteholder shall
not unreasonably delay the obtaining of such benefit. 

  

	13.5	If a Noteholder is obliged to pay to the Issuer any sum under a Note and: 

  

	 	(a)	any such exemption, credit, remission or repayment as is referred to in Clause 13.3 is subsequently withdrawn in whole or in part; or 

  

	 	(b)	such sum is paid on the basis that it would be allowed to such Noteholder as a deduction or offset for taxation purposes in the accounting period of such Noteholder and such
assumption subsequently proves to be incorrect, 

  
 then the Issuer shall repay to such Noteholder promptly on demand such amount as the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) shall reasonably determine and certify (substantiating in reasonably sufficient
detail the amount concerned and not including any matters which such Noteholder fairly regards as confidential) to the Issuer to be such amount as will leave such Noteholder (after such repayment) in no better position (after tax) than would have
been the case had no such circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) above existed. 

	14.	Interest 

  

	14.1	The rate of interest on the Notes for each Interest Period shall be the aggregate of the applicable: 

  

	 	(a)	Fixed Margin; and 

  

	 	(b)	Interbank Rate. 

  

	14.2	Except as otherwise provided herein in Clause 19 or otherwise, interest shall be payable by the Issuer in U.S. dollars in advance on the first day of each Interest Period (each such
day, an “Interest Payment Date”). 

  

	14.3	The first Interest Period in respect of the Notes will commence on May 12, 2000 with the next Interest Payment Date being six (6) months thereafter.

  

	14.4	Interest shall accrue from day to day from and including the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period to but excluding the last day of the current Interest Period and
shall be calculated at the rate specified in Clause 14.1. 

  

	15.	Default Interest and Indemnity 

  

	15.1	If interest in respect of any Note which is due and payable by the Issuer hereunder is not paid on the due date therefor or if any sum due and payable by the Issuer under any
judgment of any court in connection herewith is not paid on the date of such judgment, such sum (the balance thereof for the time being unpaid being herein referred to as an “unpaid sum”) shall bear interest at the rate specified in
Clause 14.1 beginning on such due date or, as the case may be, the date of such judgment and ending on the date upon which the obligation of the Issuer to pay is discharged. 

  

	15.2	Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 15.1 in respect of an unpaid sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the Issuer to the relevant Noteholder(s) at the end
of the period by reference to which it is calculated or on such other date or dates as such Noteholder(s) may specify by written notice to the Issuer, provided, however that any such interest which shall have accrued as a result of an
event which, but for the payment of such accrued interest as provided in the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Payment Default”, would become an Interest Payment Default, shall be payable on the date upon which the
obligation of the Issuer to pay such accrued interest is discharged, whether in accordance with the definition of “Interest Payment Default” or as otherwise provided herein. 

  

	15.3	The Issuer undertakes to indemnify each Noteholder against any cost, claim, loss, expense (including legal fees) or liability, which it may sustain or incur as a consequence of the
occurrence of any default by the Issuer in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in respect of the Notes. 

  

	16.	Mandatory Prepayment Event 

  
 Upon the occurrence of any Mandatory Payment Event, the Issuer will, subject to the provisions of Clause 19, immediately prepay to the Noteholders all the
outstanding principal and all interest and all other amounts payable under the Notes. 

	17.	Replacement of Note 

  
 Subject to Article X of the Securities Purchase Agreement, if any Note is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the
specified office of the Issuer, subject to all applicable laws, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may
reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. 
  

	18.	Modification and Noteholders’ Resolutions 

  

	18.1	Any modification to these Conditions shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and Noteholders holding at least eighty per cent (80%) of the face amount of the Notes and any
such modifications so agreed shall be binding on all further Noteholders, provided that no amendment, supplement or modification to, or waiver of, any provision set forth in this Clause 18, Clause 19, Clause 22 or Clause 23 may be effected
without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (with the consent of the “Majority Lenders”, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement), and any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver entered into without the
prior written consent of the Facility Agent shall be null and void and without any force and effect whatsoever. 

  

	18.2	Any resolution of Noteholders in relation to these Conditions may be made in writing signed by or on behalf such Noteholders holding the relevant face amount of Notes upon delivery
to the Issuer by each such Noteholder of such evidence as to its identity and its capacity as Noteholder as the Issuer may reasonably require. 

  

	19.	Subordination 

  

	19.1	The Issuer covenants and agrees, and the Noteholder by its acceptance hereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all payments of the principal of and interest and premium, if any,
on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, amounts payable on account of the redemption provisions set forth herein) (collectively, the
“Subordinated Debt”) shall be subordinated in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 19 to the prior payment in full of all Senior Obligations. For purposes hereof, the Senior Obligations shall not be deemed to have been paid
in full until the Finance Parties shall have received payment of the Senior Obligations in full in cash. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer and the Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees as follows: 

  

	19.2	Upon payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding up or total or
partial liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and
liabilities of the Issuer, all Senior Obligations shall first be paid in full in cash, or payment provided for in cash or cash equivalents in a manner satisfactory to the Finance Parties, before any direct or indirect payment or distribution,
including, without limitation, by exercise of set-off, of any cash, property or securities on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest 

 or any other amounts on or in respect of the Notes and to that end the Finance Parties shall be entitled
to receive directly, for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations (to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full after giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to or provision for payment to
the Finance Parties), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of the Subordinated Debt. The Facility Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the
name of the Noteholders or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive payment or distribution referred to herein and to file a claim and proofs of claim and take such other action (including without limitation,
voting the Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Noteholders hereunder. 
  

	19.3	No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Issuer of principal of (premium, if any), or interest on, or any other amount with respect to, the Subordinated Debt, and no
repurchase, redemption or other retirement of any Note, whether pursuant to the terms of the Note, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall be made if at the time of such payment, repurchase, redemption or retirement, a Subordination Event has occurred
for so long as such Subordination Event shall not have been cured or waived in writing by all applicable parties; provided, that the payment of accrued interest specified in the proviso in the definition of “Interest Payment
Default” may be paid in accordance with such proviso; and provided, further, that on and after the Standstill Termination Date, the Issuer may resume payments on account of the principal of (premium, if any), and interest
(including interest pursuant to Clause 15.1) and any other amounts on the Note, subject to the provisions of Clause 19.1 and Clause 19.2 hereof; 

  

	19.4	(a) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Noteholders shall have received any payment on account of the
Subordinated Debt at a time when such payment is prohibited by such provisions before the Senior Obligations are paid in full, then and in such event, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by the Noteholders apart from
their other assets and forthwith paid over or delivered to the Facility Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or
securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreements. 

  
 (b) Nothing contained in this Clause 19 will limit the right of the Noteholders to take any action provided herein with respect to the Subordinated Debt;
provided that all Senior Obligations then due or thereafter declared to be due shall first be paid in full before the Noteholders are entitled to receive any payment from the Issuer of principal of, or interest on, or any other amounts under
any Note. 
  
 (c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets or
securities referred to in this Clause 19, the Noteholders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, and upon
a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making any such payment or 

 distribution, delivered to the Noteholders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Obligations and other indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Clause 19. 
  
 (d) No right of any present or future holder of
any Senior Obligations to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Issuer or any Noteholder with the terms and
provisions and covenants herein regardless of any knowledge thereof such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 
  
 (e) The provisions of this Clause 19 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of the Senior Obligations.
The Issuer and each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, each acknowledge that the Finance Parties are relying upon the provisions of this Clause 19 in extending such Senior Obligations. 
  

	19.5	Any payment or distribution to the Facility Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Senior Obligations, pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 19 shall entitle the Noteholder to a
right of subrogation in respect thereof; provided, however that all such subrogation rights are not exercisable until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full. 

  

	19.6	Nothing contained in this Clause 19 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Issuer and the Noteholder, the obligations of the Issuer, which are
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Noteholder the principal of (premium, if any), and interest on, the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the Noteholder and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of the Senior Obligations nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Noteholder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence
of a Mandatory Prepayment Event under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Clause 19 of the holders of the Senior Obligations in respect of cash, property or securities of the Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

  

	19.7	As long as the Senior Obligations shall not have been paid in full, no Noteholder will commence, or join with any creditor other than the holders of the Senior Obligations in
commencing, or directly or indirectly cause the Issuer to commence or assist the Issuer in commencing, any proceeding referred to in Clause 19.2. 

  

	19.8	All rights and interests hereunder of the holders of the Senior Obligations, and all agreements and obligations of the Noteholders and the Issuer under this Clause 19, shall remain
in full force and effect irrespective of: 

  
 (a)
the lack of validity or enforceability of any provision under any Senior Loan Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from the Senior Loan Agreements, including, without limitation, any 

 increase in the Senior Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Issuer or any
of its subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange,
release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Obligations; 
  
 (d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any manner of
sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Senior Obligations or any other assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; or 
  
 (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Issuer or a subordinated creditor. 
  
 Each
Noteholder and the Issuer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Senior Obligations and this Clause 19 and any requirement that the Facility Agent or any holder of the Senior
Obligations protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer or any other person or entity or any collateral. 
  

	19.9	(a) The provisions of this Clause 19 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, and the Senior Obligations shall not be deemed to be paid in full, as the case may be, if at
any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Facility Agent or any holder of the Senior Obligations upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made. 

  
 (b) The
provisions of this Clause 19 shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Senior Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Issuer and each Noteholder and their respective successors, assigns and transferees and (iii) inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Finance Party and its successors, assigns and transferees. 
  

	20.	Miscellaneous 

  

	20.1	No failure by any Noteholder to exercise, nor any delay by such Noteholder in exercising, any right or remedy in respect of any of the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies (whether provided by law or otherwise). 

  

	20.2	Subject to Section 12.9 (Expenses) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will pay all costs associated with the issuance of the Notes.

Agent deems it appropriate to assert its rights relating to this Note, or (b) at the option of either the Issuer or the Noteholder in the event the Facility Agent has not asserted its rights related hereto or at any time after the Senior Obligations

	23.3	Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Clause 23.3 and Clauses 23.1 and 23.2 are for the benefit of the Finance Parties and nothing in Clause 23.1 shall prevent the Facility
