Exhibit 10.6

 

AMENDMENT
TO BACKSTOP AGREEMENT

 

This
Amendment to the Backstop Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 9, 2022, is by and among Joyous JD Limited (“Joyous”),
Venus Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Venus”), and Yolanda management Corporation (“Yolanda”).
Joyous, Venus, and Yolanda are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
the Parties have previously entered into that certain Backstop Agreement dated as of November 23, 2022 (“Backstop Agreement”)
whereby, among other things, Joyous will backstop the Venus share redemptions by purchasing Venus shares from third parties through a
broker in the open market up to an aggregate value of US$25,000,000 at the redemption price per share.

 

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, Joyous has purchased an aggregate value of US$21,557,405 of Venus ordinary shares in the open market
as of the date of this Agreement. The Parties deem that any additional backstop investment by Joyous at Acquisition Closing is no longer
necessary or desired.

 

WHEREAS,
the Parties now desire to amend certain provisions of the Backstop Agreement to the effect that no additional backstop investment by
Joyous in the Company will be required at the closing of the Acquisition Closing.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and
agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties accordingly agree as follows.

 

		1.	Defined
                                            Terms. Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed
                                            to such terms in the Backstop Agreement.

 

The
definition of “Backstop Amount” is hereby restated to mean the amount of SPAC Share Redemptions the Buyer has agreed
to backstop, together with any Purchase Amount, of up to US$21,557,405.80.

 

		2.	Section
                                            1.01 Purchase from Third Parties of the Backstop Agreement is hereby amended and restated
                                            to read as follows:

 

“The
Buyers agree that in connection with the Acquisition Closing, the Buyers will purchase Issuer Shares from third parties through a broker
in the open market (other than through the Issuer), or through privately negotiated transactions, including from SPAC Shareholders that
had elected to redeem the Issuer Shares. The Buyers shall acquire the Issuer Shares of an aggregate value up to US$21,557,405.80 at US$10.55
per share (the “Price Per Share”). In order to effectuate the foregoing, to the extent legally permitted to do so,
the Buyers shall purchase redeemed shares on the date of this Agreement until the date of the closing of the Merger. The aggregate purchase
amount of the Buyers hereof shall be referred to as “Purchase Amount.” The Buyers hereby agree and undertake that
they will not exercise any right of redemption with respect to any shares of the SPAC they may acquire under this Section 1.01 (Purchase
from Third Parties) hereof.”

 

     

     

    

 

		3.	Governing
                                            Law. This Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to be made under and shall be construed
                                            in accordance with the laws of New York. Each of the parties hereby agrees that any action,
                                            proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall,
                                            to the fullest extent applicable, be brought and enforced first in the Southern District
                                            of New York, then to such other court in the State of New York as appropriate and irrevocably
                                            submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. Each of the parties
                                            hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent
                                            an inconvenient forum.

 

		4.	Miscellaneous.
                                            This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original,
                                            but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon
                                            delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of
                                            original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need
                                            not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties. A determination by a court or
                                            other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is
                                            legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
                                            The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal
                                            authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike
                                            in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

order for relief in such proceeding entered in respect thereof; provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or
instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on
its assets or permit such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.

respect to any amount to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change 

“Benchmark” means, initially, Daily Simple SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and the related

to clause (b) of Section 2.14. 
 “Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the
alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Bank and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for
determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for bilateral credit facilities denominated in
Dollars at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. 
 If the Benchmark Replacement as
determined pursuant to the above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

  
 2 

 “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement
of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement and for any applicable interest period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Bank and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for
calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any
evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for
bilateral credit facilities denominated in Dollars at such time. 
 “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with
respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or the Term Loan, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of
“U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or
operational matters) that the Bank in consultation with the Borrower decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Bank in a manner substantially consistent
with market practice (or, if the Bank decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Bank determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other
manner of administration as the Bank in consultation with the Borrower decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). 

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect
to such then-current Benchmark: 
 (1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the
later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or
indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 
 (2) in the case of clause
(3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the
administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or
publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date. 

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than,
the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have
occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used
in the calculation thereof). 

  
 3 

 “Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the
occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark: 
 (1) a public statement or publication of
information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); 

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof), the Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such
Benchmark (or such component), or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such
component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator
that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 
 (3) a public statement or publication
of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as
of a specified future date will no longer be, representative. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will
be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
calculation thereof). 
 “Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier
of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public
statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication). 

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time
that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in
accordance with Section 2.14 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with
Section 2.14. 
 “Beneficial Ownership Certification” means a certification regarding beneficial

arising under a similar transaction, plus (f) all Guarantees by such Person of Borrowed Debt of others, plus (g) all Permitted Receivable Sales Transaction Indebtedness.

Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Bank and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant
to this Section 2.14(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Bank will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any
amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as
selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be

interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Bank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable currency in the London or other applicable offshore
interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrower (and confirmation that the Bank is generally suspending such loans for similarly situated borrowers), the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Bank, prepay the Term Loan
or convert the Term Loan to a loan bearing interest at the Alternate Rate, in each case, either on the day prior to the date the next payment of interest is due pursuant to Section 2.13(c) hereof, if the Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain loans bearing interest based upon Daily Simple SOFR, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain loans bearing interest based upon Daily Simple SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Prior to giving any notice contemplated above, the Bank shall designate a different lending office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such
designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Bank in its good faith discretion.

company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) confirming that the applicable increased costs incurred or reduction suffered are being similarly assessed by the Bank generally upon similarly
situated borrowers, shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay the Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(c) Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
the Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Bank
notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such

pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Bank timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Bank.

Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Bank and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by the Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Reserved.

with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Bank or any assignee thereof, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Bank or such assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in Bank or such assignee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Bank or such assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Bank or such assignee. Bank and any applicable assignee agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying 

  
 24 

 
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Bank, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) in Dollars prior to 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due
or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Bank, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. 
 (b) At any time that
payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Bank to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder. 

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations. If (i) Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15 or
(ii) Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Bank or any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.17, then Bank shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Term Loan or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to Bank. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material

 27 

 SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No liability to the PBGC has been, or is expected by Borrower or
any ERISA Affiliate to be, incurred with respect to any Plan by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is, or could reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the business, assets, operations or financial condition of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither Borrower, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or presently expects to incur, any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which is

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, financial statements, certificates or other written information (other than financial projections and other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry-specific
nature) furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to the Bank in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other information so furnished)
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in each case in light of the circumstances under which they were made and taken as a whole, not materially misleading;
provided that, with respect to any projections, estimates, forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry public nature, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
reasonable assumptions that are believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable at the time such information was delivered to the Bank. As of the Effective Date, to the best knowledge of Borrower, the information included in any Beneficial

and Sanctions. Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Anti-Corruption

SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used to refinance existing Indebtedness of
the Borrower and for general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and
X. The Borrower will not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, directly, or, to its knowledge, indirectly the proceeds of the Term Loan (a) in
furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of directly, or, to its
knowledge, indirectly funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except to the extent permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, or

willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby

situated taken as a whole, without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or

creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent

negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any Related Party), (y) from a breach in bad faith of any obligation of such Indemnitee (or any Related Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) any disputes
solely among Indemnitees (other than any claims directly resulting from an act or omission by Borrower or any of its Affiliates). This Section 9.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that

assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Bank may assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Borrower;

or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Term Loan,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections

Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Bank constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,

any Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that
reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as

 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions

other obligations at any time owing, by the Bank or such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Bank or its
Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of
the Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Bank and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of

 SECTION 9.14. No Fiduciary Duty, etc. (a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees,
and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that the Bank will not have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and the Bank is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s
length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or a non-fiduciary
agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Bank based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Bank in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Bank is not advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors
concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to the
Borrower with respect thereto.

that the Bank, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of
business, the Bank may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans
and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by the Bank or any of its customers, all rights in
respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. 

(c) In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that the Bank and its Affiliates
may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which Borrower or its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein
and otherwise. The Bank will not use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with Borrower or its Subsidiaries in connection with the performance
by the Bank of services for other companies, and the Bank will not furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that the Bank has no any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.
