ARTICLE II

THE FACILITY, ADVANCE PROCEDURES AND NOTES
Section 2.1    Advances.
  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender Group hereby agrees to make advances to the Borrower (individually, an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”) from time to time on any date (each such date on which an Advance is made, an “Advance Date”) during the Revolving Period.  Under no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances outstanding would exceed the lesser of (x) the Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base on such day, or (ii) in the case of a Committed Lender, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances funded by such Committed Lender would exceed such Committed Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may borrow, reborrow, repay and prepay (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4) one or more Advances.
Section 2.2    Funding of Advances.
  (a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, the Borrower may request Advances hereunder by giving notice to the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent and each Agent of the proposed Advance at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least (i) in the case of Advances of more than 20% of the then-current Facility Amount, sixty-one 
50

(61) days or (ii) in the case of Advances of up to 20% of the then-current Facility Amount, two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the initial Advance on the Effective Date; and provided further, that there shall be a maximum of two Advances requested per week.  Such notice (herein called the “Advance Request”) shall be in the form of Exhibit C and shall include the proposed Advance Date (specifically identifying whether such Advance will be on two (2) Business Days’ notice or sixty-one (61) days’ notice and, if on two (2) Business Days’ notice, a calculation showing that after giving effect to such Advance not more than 20% of the Advances outstanding shall be Advances requested by the Borrower on less than sixty-one (61) days’ notice) and amount of such proposed Advance and a Schedule of Contracts setting forth the information required therein with respect to the Contracts to be acquired by the Borrower on the Advance Date.  The amount of any Advance shall at least be equal to $250,000.  Any Advance Request given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  Neither the Facility Agent nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation to lend funds hereunder.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, and the Paying Agent’s receipt of such funds in sufficient time and no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date, the Paying Agent shall make the proceeds of such requested Advances available as follows: first, to pay any fees and expenses due to the Lenders or the Agents on the applicable Advance Date; and second, all amounts of the Advance in excess of the amounts distributed pursuant to first above shall be made available to the Borrower by deposit to such account as may be designated by the Borrower (in the Advance Request or otherwise by prior written notice received by the Paying Agent) in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date.  The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that any election by any Lender on one or more occasions to fund any Advance on any day prior to the full passage of such sixty-one (61) day notice period set forth herein shall not constitute or be deemed to be an amendment, waiver or other modification of the requirement for sixty-one (61) days’ notice prior to any Lender funding any Advance hereunder.
(b)    Committed Lender’s Commitment.  At no time will any Uncommitted Lender have any obligation to fund an Advance.  At all times on and after the Conduit Advance Termination Date, all Advances shall be made by the Agent for, and on behalf of the applicable Committed Lenders.  At any time when any Uncommitted Lender has failed to or has rejected a request to fund an Advance, its Agent shall so notify the Related Committed Lender and such Related Committed Lender shall fund such Advance to the Paying Agent.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide its Agent or the Borrower with funds in connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect (minus the unrecovered principal amount of such Committed Lender’s investments in the Advances pursuant to the Structured Lender Liquidity Arrangement to which it is a party).  The obligation of the Committed Lender in each Lender Group to remit any Advance shall be several from that of the other Lenders, and the failure of any Committed Lender to so make such amount available to its Agent shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder.

51

Section 2.3    Notes.
  The Borrower shall, upon request of any Lender Group, on or after such Lender Group becomes a party hereto (whether on the Effective Date or by assignment or otherwise), execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Advances of such Lender Group.  Each such Note shall be payable to the Agent for such Lender Group in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Commitment as of the Effective Date or the effective date on which such Lender Group becomes a party hereto, as applicable.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grid, or at the option of such Agent, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of the outstanding principal of the Advances evidenced thereby and each payment of principal thereon.  Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon.
Section 2.4    Repayment and Prepayments.
  The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each Advance upon any acceleration pursuant to Section 14.2 and on the Maturity Date.  Prior thereto, the Borrower:
(a)    may, from time to time on any Business Day (but not more than two times per calendar week), make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Advance; provided, however, that
(i)    all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one Business Day prior written notice to the Paying Agent; and
(ii)    all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000; and
(iii)    each prepayment shall be applied on the Business Day received by the Paying Agent if received by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day by the Paying Agent as Amounts Available pursuant to Section 8.5(vii) as if (x) the date of such prepayment were a Distribution Date and (y) such prepayment occurred during the Collection Period to which such Distribution Date relates; provided, that the Collateral Manager shall direct the Paying Agent as to the pro rata distribution to the Agent for each Lender Group.
(b)    shall, if the outstanding principal amount of Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base, make a prepayment of the Advances in an amount equal to such excess or acquire additional Eligible Contracts, or cause additional Eligible Contracts to be contributed by TPVG, in each case in an amount equal to such excess, within five Business Days of the date such excess first exists.
Each such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of any amounts required by Section 5.2 resulting from a prepayment or payment. 
52

Section 2.5    Defaulting Lenders.
  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Paying Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Facility Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion)), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Facility Agent; third, if so determined by the Facility Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and
(ii)    for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to (x) receive any fees hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) or (y) exercise any voting or other discretion with respect to such Lender’s Commitments hereunder.
(b)    If the Facility Agent and the Borrower determine in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Facility Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such 
53

notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Facility Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.6    Replacement of Lenders.
  If any Lender is being replaced pursuant to Section 18.15, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent, require such Lender to (1) within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s request, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Article XVI), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be an existing Lender, if such existing Lender accepts such assignment, and if the Lender being replaced shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such documentation required for assignment prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Facility Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such assignment in the name and on behalf of the Lender being replaced and, irrespective of whether the Facility Agent executes and delivers such assignment documentation, the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment documentation) or (2) terminate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; provided that:
(a)    (A) if such Lender’s Commitments have been assigned pursuant to clause (1) above, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) or (B) if such Lender’s Commitments have been terminated pursuant to clause (2) above, such Lender shall have received payment of all such amounts payable to it hereunder from the Borrower; provided that any non-pro rata payments to a Lender hereunder must be consented to by the Facility Agent; and
(b)    such assignment, delegation or termination does not conflict with Applicable Law.
Section 2.7    Extension of Revolving Period.
(a)     The Borrower may, at any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, request an extension of the Revolving Period by providing written notice of such request to each Agent and to the Facility Agent (an “Extension 
54

Request”). Any Lender Group agreeing to extend the Revolving Period with respect to its Commitment (each, an “Extending Lender Group”) shall, through its Agent, provide written notice of its agreement to extend the Revolving Period to the Facility Agent and the Borrower. No Lender Group shall have any obligation to agree to extend the Revolving Period with respect to its Commitment; and in the event any Agent, on behalf of its Lender Group, shall not provide written notice of its agreement to extend the Revolving Period within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Extension Request, such Lender Group shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (each, a “Non-Extending Lender Group”). The Borrower may withdraw any Extension Request in its sole discretion prior to the effectiveness of such extension, including without limitation in connection with any rejection or deemed rejection by any Agent (on behalf of its Lender Group) of any Extension Request.
(b)    In the event there shall be one or more Non-Extending Lender Groups, the Borrower may, in accordance with Section 2.6, (i) by notice to the Facility Agent and the Agent for each Extending Lender Group, invite each Extending Lender Group to increase their Commitment by purchasing a pro rata amount of the Non-Extending Lender Group’s Commitment, (ii) invite one or more financial institutions to purchase the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lender Group(s) and become a “Lender” under this Agreement or (iii) have the Non-Extending Lender Group’s Commitment terminated.
(c)    The Revolving Period with respect to Commitments of the Extending Lender Group and each New Lender, as applicable, will be extended pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each member of the Extending Lender Group and each New Lender, if any, without the consent of any other Person, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the execution and delivery of any such amendment. 
Section 2.8    Increase of Facility Amount.
  The Borrower may, at any time after the Effective Date, deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent, each Agent and the Custodian (x) certifying that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) requesting one or more increases of the Facility Amount to an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 (the amount so requested being the “Increased Facility Amount”).  The Facility Amount shall be so increased to the Increased Facility Amount on the later of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the receipt of such written notice by the Facility Agent, the Custodian and each Agent and (y) the date on which any Lender agreeing to increase its Commitment, and any new lender or lenders selected by the Facility Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower agreeing to join this Agreement as a Lender to provide new Commitments, have executed such documentation as the Facility Agent may reasonably require to evidence increased Commitments or new Commitments which, together with all other Commitments in effect at such date, equal in the aggregate the Increased Facility Amount. Any amendment may, with the consent of the Facility Agent, Borrower and the Lenders or prospective lenders agreeing to the proposed increase(s), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.8 without the consent of any Lender not agreeing to increase its Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no 
55

Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

YIELD, FEES, ETC.
Section 3.1    Yield.
  The Borrower hereby promises to pay on the dates specified in Section 3.2 Yield on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance (or each portion thereof) for the period commencing on the applicable Advance Date until such Advance is paid in full.  No provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 3.2    Yield Payment Dates.
  Yield accrued on each Advance (including any previously accrued and unpaid Yield) shall be payable, without duplication:
(a)    on the Maturity Date;
(b)    on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Advance; and
(c)    on each Distribution Date.
Section 3.3    Yield Calculation.
  The Advances shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate for such Accrual Period.
Section 3.4    Computation of Yield.
  All Yield shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such Yield is payable over a year comprised of 360 days.  Each Agent (on behalf of its respective Lender Group) and the Facility Agent (for itself) shall determine the applicable Yield, all Fees, any amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 5.1 and any other amounts hereunder to be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders, each Agent or the Facility Agent (as applicable) on each Distribution Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Collateral Manager thereof in writing no later than the fifth (5th) day immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

PAYMENTS; TAXES
Section 4.1    Making of Payments to and by the Agents.
  All payments to be made to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof, shall be made by the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 8.5 to the Agent for each Lender Group and pro rata among the Lender Groups on the basis of the respective amounts owing to such Lender Groups.  Each Agent shall allocate to the Lenders in its Lender Group each payment in respect of the Advances received by such Agent as provided herein.  Payments in reduction of the principal amount of the Advances shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based on their respective portions of such Advances, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower.  Payments of Yield shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based upon the respective amounts of interest due and payable to them, determined as provided above in Section 3.3.
Section 4.2    Due Date Extension.
  If any payment of principal or Yield with respect to any Advance falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and additional Yield shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension at the rate applicable to such Advance.
Section 4.3    Taxes.
  (a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower or TPVG under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law.  If the Borrower or TPVG shall be required under any applicable requirement of law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to an Affected Person (including for purposes of Section 5.1 and this Section 4.3, any assignee, successor, or participant of an Affected Person), (i) Borrower or TPVG (as applicable) shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Borrower or TPVG (as applicable) shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any requirement of law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower or TPVG (as applicable) shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower or TPVG (as applicable) has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 4.3) the Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes.  For purposes of this 
57

Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than (y) Taxes that are imposed on an Affected Person’s overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Affected Person is organized or, in the case of an Affected Person that is a Lender, of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of the Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes) and (z) Taxes imposed by FATCA.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower and TPVG hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, filing, intangible, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”) and any liabilities (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(c)    The Borrower and TPVG hereby agree to indemnify each Affected Person (including its direct or indirect beneficial owners) for, and to hold them harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or paid by the Affected Person (or any direct or indirect beneficial owners thereof) (as applicable) and any liabilities (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Amounts payable by the Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 4.3(c) shall be paid on the Settlement Date occurring after the date of delivery to the Borrower of written demand therefor by the Facility Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled); provided, that such demand is delivered on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Settlement Date and otherwise on the Settlement Date following such Settlement Date; provided, further, that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) to the extent the reason for such indemnification relates to, or arises from, the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 4.3(e) or Section 4.3(f).  If any Lender receives a refund in respect of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.3, which refund in the reasonable judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to the Borrower, together with all interest received by such Lender on such amount; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower by such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay or is not entitled to such refund.  
(d)    If the Borrower or TPVG shall make a payment directly to the applicable taxing authority rather than to the Affected Person, then, within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or TPVG (or any Person making such payment on 
58

behalf of such Persons), the Borrower shall furnish to the Affected Person for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(e)    For purposes of this Section 4.3(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code, as amended (or any successor sections).  Each Affected Person (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Person”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent the following properly completed and duly executed documents:
(i)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which such Affected Person claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or
(ii)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is an individual, (x) for non-United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “Section 4.3 Certificate”) or (y) for United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
(iii)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and that is not a disregarded entity owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
(iv)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 4.3 Certificate; or
(v)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.3 Certificate, and (y) in the case of a non-withholding foreign partnership or trust, without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each 
59

such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) if such beneficial owner were an Affected Person; or
(vi)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 4.3(e) with respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were an Affected Person; or
(vii)    in the case of a Non-Exempt Person that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity of an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.3 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) of Section 4.3(e) with respect to each such person if each such person were an Affected Person.
If an Affected Person provides a form pursuant to Section 4.3(e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Affected Person at the time such Affected Person first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate under the tax treaty in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Affected Person provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form.  If, however, on the date a person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, an Affected Person transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 4.3, then the Affected Person assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent that the Affected Person transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Affected Person assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.
(f)    If a payment made to an Affected Person under this Agreement or any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount 
60

to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g)    For any period with respect to which an Affected Person has failed to provide the Borrower or the Facility Agent with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 4.3(e) or (f) (other than if such failure is due to a change in any requirement of law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided), such Affected Person shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 4.3(a) or (c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, that should an Affected Person become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Affected Person shall reasonably request, to assist such Affected Person in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
(h)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or TPVG hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and TPVG contained in this Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Nothing contained in Section 5.1 or this Section 4.3 shall require an Affected Person to complete, execute or make available any of its Tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, or whose completion, execution or submission would, in such Affected Person’s judgment, materially prejudice such Affected Person’s legal or commercial position.
ARTICLE V

INCREASED COSTS, ETC.
Section 5.1    Increased Costs.
  If due to the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation occurring or issued after the date hereof, the Facility Agent, any Agent, any Lender or other Lender, any Support Party, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity coverage required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity coverage is increased by or based upon the existence of its obligations or commitments hereunder or with respect hereto or to the funding thereof or (ii) subjects any Affected Person to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.3) and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making Advances or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis 
61

therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Affected Person or the Facility Agent, for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), on the Distribution Date following the date on which the Affected Person provides notice of such event to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (provided that such notice is delivered on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date), subject to and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.5, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such obligations, commitments or fundings; provided that if such demand is delivered after the later of (x) 180 days after such additional amounts requested hereunder arose and (y) 30 days after the applicable Affected Person had knowledge of such additional amount, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay such additional amounts.  Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.  Any Affected Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.1 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different office or branch of such Affected Person as its lending office or take such other actions if the making of such a designation or taking of such other actions would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Person, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.
Section 5.2    Funding Losses.
  The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the calculations of the amount being claimed, (2) the basis therefor and (3) the event by reason of which it has become so entitled) it will indemnify such Affected Person on an after-tax basis against any loss or expense which such Affected Person may sustain or incur, as reasonably determined by such Affected Person, as a result of any voluntary prepayment of any Advance for which two Business Days’ prior written notice was not delivered in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(i) or any mandatory prepayment of any Advance, on the Distribution Date following the date on which the Affected Person provides notice of such event to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (provided that such notice is delivered on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Distribution Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date); provided that if such demand is delivered after the later of (x) 180 days after such loss or expense requested hereunder was incurred and (y) 30 days after the applicable Affected Person had knowledge of such loss or expense, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify such Affected Person against such loss or expense.  Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.  The amount to be paid by the Borrower to any Affected Person in order to so indemnify such Affected Person for any loss occasioned by any of the events described in this paragraph, and as liquidated damages therefor, shall be equal to the excess of (i) the amount of Yield which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or prepaid during the period (the “Indemnity Period”) commencing with the date of such payment or prepayment and ending on the next Distribution Date (provided that such payment or prepayment is made on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Distribution 
62

Date and otherwise on the Distribution Date following such Distribution Date), over (ii) the amount of income, if any, received by the applicable Affected Person during the Indemnity Period from the investment by such Affected Person of the principal amount so paid or prepaid.

ARTICLE VII

ADMINISTRATION AND Management OF TRANSFERRED CONTRACTS
Section 7.1    Retention and Termination of the Collateral Manager.
  (a)  The management, administering and collection of the Transferred Contracts shall be conducted by the Person designated as Collateral Manager from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1(a).  Subject to early termination due to the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Default or as otherwise provided below in this Section 7.1, TPVG is hereby designated, and hereby agrees to serve, as Collateral Manager until the termination of this Agreement.  Any designation of a successor Collateral Manager under this Agreement shall become effective upon such successor Collateral Manager’s agreement to perform the duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms hereof and TPVG shall continue to perform the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder until such successor Collateral Manager shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager.  The Collateral Manager may, with the prior consent of the Facility Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the management, administering or collecting the Transferred Contracts; provided that the Collateral Manager shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms hereof. 
(b)    At least 30 days (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by the Backup Collateral Manager in its sole discretion) prior to the delivery of a notice of termination of the Collateral Manager, the Facility Agent shall notify the Backup Collateral Manager in writing to perform a data mapping (at the cost of the Borrower) with respect to the management systems utilized by the Collateral Manager.  Upon the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, the Backup Collateral Manager shall, upon the receipt of notice of such resignation or termination, within 30 days commence collateral management activities in place of TPVG and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 11.1, for the purposes of this Agreement, become Collateral Manager.  Until such time as the Facility Agent notifies TPVG that the Backup Collateral Manager has commenced collateral management activities in the place of TPVG, TPVG shall continue to perform the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder.  Upon the Backup Collateral Manager’s assumption of the obligations of Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Backup Collateral Manager all documents and instruments and monies held by it under this Agreement, and the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and 
66

certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Backup Collateral Manager all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the resignation or termination of the Collateral Manager shall not become effective until the Backup Collateral Manager or an entity reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager.
(c)    Neither the Collateral Manager nor the Backup Collateral Manager shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties hereunder would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, and the Facility Agent does not elect to waive the obligations of the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager, respectively, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person (which determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect), then the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, may give notice of such determination to the Facility Agent and, no less than ninety (90) days following delivery of such notice, cease to operate as Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, respectively.  No such action of the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, shall become effective until a successor entity reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Person in accordance with this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that such cessation of operation by the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager, as the case may be, shall be a breach of covenant under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein regarding the prohibition against the Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager’s resignation, as the case may be, the sole remedy for such action shall be that the Facility Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Manager or Backup Collateral Manager, respectively.

The Equityholder shall make a contemporaneous deposit to the Collection Account of the related Repurchase Amount, as contemplated by Section 6.1. of the Sale Agreement.

The Collection Account, the Funding Account and the Security Deposit Collection Account shall each be an Eligible Account which is a segregated trust account initially established with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.  If at any time the Collection Account, the Funding Account or the Security 
82

Deposit Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Facility Agent (with notice to the Collateral Manager) shall transfer such account to another institution such that such account shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Account.  The Collection Account, the Funding Account and the Security Deposit Collection Account are listed on Schedule 8.1.
(b)    On or prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall establish the Operating Account in the name of the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  The Operating Account is a segregated deposit account initially established with U.S. Bank National Association.

Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.1.  Investments in Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and, except as specifically required below, such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  If the Collateral Manager fails to provide such direction, such amounts shall be invested in investments described in clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Investments.  The taxpayer identification number associated with each Borrower Account shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower shall report for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the income, if any, represented by each Borrower Account.  If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the Facility Agent shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account to make such disbursement in accordance with and upon the direction of the Collateral Manager or, if the Collateral Manager shall fail to give such direction, the Facility Agent.  The Collection Account Bank shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the Collection Account, the Funding Account or the Security Deposit Account or any other moneys held by the Collection Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction pursuant to this Section 8.1(c).  In no event shall the Collection Account Bank be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collection Account Bank shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Collateral Manager or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to provide timely written investment direction.  In the event that the Collection Account Bank receives conflicting investment direction from the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent, it shall act in accordance with the direction of the Facility Agent.
(d)    Neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Manager shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings on, investments of funds in the Borrower Accounts shall be deposited in the Collection Account and distributed pursuant to Section 8.5.

Section 10.1    Protection of Security Interest of the Secured Parties.
  (a)  At or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall have filed or caused to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement, naming the Borrower as debtor, naming the Facility Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as secured party and describing the Borrower Collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  From time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Facility Agent in favor of the Secured Parties under this Agreement in the Borrower Collateral and in the proceeds thereof.  The Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Facility Agent and each Lender file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.  In the event that the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) do so, in each case at the expense of the Borrower.
(b)    The Borrower shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Borrower (or by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Borrower) in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Borrower shall have given the Facility Agent at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements (and shall provide copy of such amendments to the Facility Agent together with an Officers Certificate to the effect that all appropriate amendments or other documents in respect of previously filed statements have been filed).
(c)    The Borrower shall maintain its computer systems, if any, so that, from and after the time of the first Advance under this Agreement, the Borrower’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to the Borrower Collateral indicate clearly that such Borrower Collateral is subject to first priority security interest in favor of the Facility Agent, for 
95

(d)    Without limiting any of the other provisions hereof, if at any time the Borrower shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in loan or lease receivables to any prospective lender or other transferee, the Borrower shall give to such prospective lender or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Borrower Collateral shall indicate clearly that such Borrower Collateral is subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

109

(other than a breach of Section 7.1(c) on any date that is more than ninety (90) days after the Backup Collateral Manager delivers written notice of its intention to resign as of a date certain to the Facility Agent) or willful misfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of its duties.  The Backup Collateral Manager, whether acting in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager, successor Collateral Manager or otherwise, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Backup Collateral Manager shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, Independent Accountants and other experts selected by such Backup Collateral Manager respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
(b)    Unless acting as Collateral Manager hereunder, the Backup Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any obligation of the Collateral Manager contained in this Agreement, and the Facility Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders shall look only to the Collateral Manager to perform such obligations.
(c)    The Backup Collateral Manager, whether acting in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager, Collateral Manager or otherwise, shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure or delay results from the Backup Collateral Manager acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup Collateral Manager or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information, in each case as required by and in accordance with the Transaction Documents.  The Backup Collateral Manager, whether acting in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager, Collateral Manager or otherwise, shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the Collateral Manager or the Facility Agent or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Collateral Manager from any third party or (ii) that is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Contract under Applicable Law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Contract.
(d)    The Backup Collateral Manager, whether acting in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager, Collateral Manager or otherwise, shall not be liable for any representations and warranties of Collateral Manager.
(e)    The Backup Collateral Manager, whether acting in its capacity as Backup Collateral Manager, Collateral Manager or otherwise, shall not be liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to profits), even if the Backup Collateral Manager has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to manage or should cause or materially contribute to the successor Collateral Manager making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that the successor Collateral Manager agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors.

116

Exceptions or all of the Exceptions noted in such Exception Report within thirty (30) days after the date of such notification (it being understood by the parties hereto that the Contract related to any Contract Files as to which an unwaived or uncured Exception exists may not be deemed an Eligible Contract under this Agreement).
(c)    On the fifth (5th) Business Day of every calendar month, the Custodian shall deliver to the Facility Agent, each Agent the Collateral Manager, and the Borrower, a report setting forth holdings of Contract Files and an Exception Report.
(d)    Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, the Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Contract File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Contract.

Section 12.3    Obligations of the Custodian.
  (a)  The Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all Contract Files and other items related thereto delivered to the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the security interest of the Secured Parties therein.  Each Contract File which comes into the possession of the Custodian shall be maintained in fire-resistant vaults or cabinets at the office of the Custodian.  Each Contract File shall be marked with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Custodian and the Facility Agent.  The Custodian shall segregate the Contract Files in its inventory system and will not commingle the Contract Files with any other files of the Custodian held for any other Person.
(b)    With respect to the Contract Files delivered to the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof, the Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as the bailee for hire and agent of, and the Custodian for, the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties (ii) hold all Contract Files received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Facility Agent and the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Facility Agent; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent’s written instructions shall control.
(c)    Prior to the release of the security interest of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the termination of this Agreement, the Custodian shall accept only written instructions of a Responsible Officer of the Facility Agent concerning the use, handling 
117

and disposition of the Contract Files.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Responsible Officer” shall mean the president, any vice president or assistant vice president of the Facility Agent, or any other officer or employee having similar functions.
(d)    In the event that (i) the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Manager or the Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Contract File or a document included within a Contract File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Contract File or any document included within a Contract File shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings.  The Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all Contract Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof.  Upon final determination of such court, the Custodian shall dispose of such Contract File or a document included within such Contract File as directed by the Facility Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Expenses of the Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.
(e)    In the event that the Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement are not clearly and expressly covered by the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to (i) request additional instructions from the Facility Agent and (ii) refrain from taking any action unless and until the Custodian has received such instructions from the Facility Agent.  If the Custodian shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from any of the parties hereto with respect to the performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement, and such conflicting instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely solely on the instructions of the Facility Agent.
(f)    To the extent that the Custodian receives any payments with respect to any Contracts, it shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) remit such payments to the Facility Agent for application pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3.
(g)    The Facility Agent may direct the Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder.  With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Custodian hereunder, the Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Facility Agent; provided that the Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Facility Agent if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto).  In the event the Custodian requests the consent of the Facility Agent and the Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Facility Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its 
118

receipt of such request, then the Facility Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
(h)    The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Custodian, or the Facility Agent.  The Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Custodian.
Section 12.4    Release of Contract Files.
  (a)  The Custodian shall release any Contract Files to the Facility Agent upon the written request of the Facility Agent, or, to the extent specified in a written request by the Collateral Manager (which must have been consented to, in writing, by the Facility Agent, which consent shall be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request) in connection with a release of a Contract pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to the Collateral Manager, or its designee.  In the event that the Facility Agent has notified the Custodian that an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). Upon receipt of any such written request from the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager (which must have been consented to, in writing, by the Facility Agent, which consent shall be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request), unless the Custodian receives notice to the contrary from the Facility Agent, the Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days after the Custodian’s receipt of the Facility Agent’s request or written consent, release such Contract Files to the Person designated in such request.
(b)    From time to time and as appropriate for the management or foreclosure of any of the Contracts, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Contracts, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release and Receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 from the Collateral Manager, release the related Contract Files or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Collateral Manager (which Request for Release and Receipt must have been acknowledged and signed by the Facility Agent).  In the event that the Facility Agent has notified the Custodian that an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). Such Request for Release and Receipt shall obligate the Collateral Manager to return each and every Contract File released pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b), to the Custodian, when (i) the need therefor by the Collateral Manager no longer exists or (ii) any Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement.  At such time as the Collateral Manager returns any such Contract File to the Custodian, the Collateral Manager shall provide written notice of such return 
119

to the Facility Agent and the Custodian in the form of Exhibit F-3.  The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt of the returned Contract File(s) by reflecting the possession of such Contract File(s) on the Custodian’s next periodic report delivered in accordance with Section 12.2(c).  Upon receipt by the Custodian of a certificate from the Collateral Manager (which certificate must have been acknowledged and signed by the Facility Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, stating that the Contract related to such Contract File(s) was liquidated and that all amounts that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to the liquidation of such Contract, have been so deposited to the Collection Account, the Custodian shall, within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of such certificate, update its inventory system to reflect the liquidation of such Contract, and the Collateral Manager will not be required to return such Contract Files to the Custodian.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Collateral Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, be entitled to request any documents held by the Custodian if the sum of the unpaid Principal Balances of all Contracts for which the Collateral Manager is then in possession of the related Contract File or any document comprising such Contract File (other than for Contracts then held by the Collateral Manager which have been repurchased, paid off or liquidated in accordance with this Agreement) (including the documents to be requested) exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Contracts then owned by the Borrower. The Collateral Manager may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents (including, without limitation, Contract Files) and all other property included in the Borrower Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder, as the Custodian for the Facility Agent, solely at the will of the Custodian and the Facility Agent for the sole purpose of facilitating the management of the Contracts, and such retention and possession by the Collateral Manager shall be in a custodial capacity only, for the benefit of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties.  To the extent the Collateral Manager, as agent of the Facility Agent and the Borrower, holds any Borrower Collateral, the Collateral Manager shall do so in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy as such standard applies to servicers acting as custodial agent.  The Collateral Manager shall promptly report to the Custodian and the Facility Agent the loss by the Collateral Manager of all or part of any Contract Files previously provided to it by the Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss.  In such custodial capacity, the Collateral Manager shall have and perform the following powers and duties:
(i)    (A) hold the Contract Files and any document comprising a Contract File that it may from time to time receive hereunder from the Facility Agent or the Custodian, as agent for the Facility Agent, for the benefit of the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, (B) maintain accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (C) maintain a current inventory thereof;
(ii)    implement and ensure compliance with policies and procedures consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Contract Files will be maintained in accordance with the terms hereof; and
120

(iii)    take all other actions, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, in connection with maintaining custody of such Contract for the benefit, and on behalf, of the Facility Agent.
Acting as the Custodian of the Contract Files pursuant to this Section 12.4, the Collateral Manager agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Contracts or the Contract Files.
Section 12.5    Removal or Resignation of the Custodian.
  (a)  After the expiration of the 364-day period commencing on the date hereof, the Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior, written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided, however, that no resignation or removal of the Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Custodian has been appointed, which successor Custodian, so long as no Unmatured Collateral Manager Default, Collateral Manager Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager.  Promptly after receipt of notice of the Custodian’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall either take custody of the Contract Files itself or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the resigning Custodian, and to the successor Custodian.
(b)    The Facility Agent, upon at least 10 days’ prior, written notice to the Custodian, may, with or without cause, remove and discharge the Custodian or any successor Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement.  Promptly after giving notice of removal of such Custodian, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian.  Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Custodian and the successor Custodian, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.
(c)    In the event of any resignation or removal of the Custodian hereunder, the Custodian shall (i) promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed in writing by the Facility Agent, all of the Contract Files being administered by the Custodian under this Agreement, and (ii) cooperate in such other actions as are reasonably necessary to transfer its custodial duties set forth herein, as directed in writing by the Facility Agent.  The cost of the shipment of Contract Files arising out of the resignation of the Custodian pursuant to Section 12.5(a), or the termination for cause of the Custodian pursuant to Section 12.5(b), shall be at the expense of the Custodian. Any cost of shipment arising out of the removal or discharge of the Custodian without cause pursuant to Section 12.5(b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.
Section 12.6    Examination of Contract Files.
  Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Custodian, the Facility Agent, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and their respective agents, accountants, attorneys 
121

and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Contract Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Contracts.  Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default, upon the request of the Facility Agent and at the cost and expense of the Collateral Manager, the Custodian shall promptly provide the Facility Agent with the Contract Files or copies, as designated by the Facility Agent, subject to a maximum of $75,000 per annum of such costs and expenses in the aggregate, and any additional costs and expenses in excess of $75,000 per annum shall be for the account of the Lenders.  During the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or a Collateral Manager Default, the Collateral Manager shall be required to bear the cost and expense of all such examinations.

  At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect, fidelity insurance, theft of documents insurance, forgery insurance and errors and omissions insurance.  All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as the Custodian of collateral substantially similar to the Contracts.  Upon request, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall be entitled to receive from the Custodian a certification executed by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian stating the amount of insurance maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof, the name of the insurer providing such insurance, and a statement that such insurance is in full force and effect.
Section 12.8    Representations and Warranties.

(d)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Custodian and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Custodian enforceable in 
122

accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law).
Section 12.9    Statements.
  Promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager, the Custodian shall provide the Facility Agent and the Collateral Manager with a list of all the Contracts for which the Custodian holds a Contract File pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.10    No Adverse Interest of the Custodian.
  By execution of this Agreement, the Custodian represents and warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any Contract or any Contract File.  Neither the Contracts nor any documents in the Contract Files shall be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by the Custodian or any third party claiming through the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the Contracts or documents in the Contract Files.
Section 12.11    Lost Note Affidavit.
  In the event that the Custodian fails to produce any Contract File or any other document related to a Contract that was in its possession pursuant to Section 12.2 within five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Facility Agent (a “Custodial Delivery Failure”) and provided that (a) the Custodian previously delivered to the Facility Agent a Certification with respect to such Contract File or document, as applicable, and (b) such Contract File or document, as applicable, is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, then the Custodian shall with respect to any missing promissory note, promptly deliver to the Facility Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.
Section 12.12    Reliance of the Custodian.
  In the absence of bad faith or actual knowledge on the part of the Custodian, the Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, notice, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any document comprising a Contract File or other request, notice, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Section 15.6    Non-Reliance on Agents.
  The Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither any Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by a Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, TPVG or the Collateral Manager, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any Lender.

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, TPVG, the Collateral Manager, and the Contracts.  Except as expressly provided herein, no Note Agent 
137

shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Borrower Collateral or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, TPVG, the Collateral Manager or the Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable to any Lender for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Facility Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 15.8    Successor Agent.
  If the Facility Agent shall resign as Facility Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Facility Agent, and the term “Facility Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Facility Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Facility Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section 15.8.  If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 66-2/3% of the outstanding Advances held by such Lender Group shall appoint a 
138

successor agent for such Lender Group.  After any retiring Note Agent’s resignation hereunder as Note Agent, the provisions of this Article XV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Note Agent under this Agreement.  No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent; provided, however, that in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such Note Agent has given notice of its resignation as permitted by this Section 15.8, such Note Agent may petition a court for its removal.
Section 15.9    Agents in their Individual Capacity.
  Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, TPVG, the Collateral Manager or the Backup Collateral Manager as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder.  In addition, the Lenders acknowledge that one or more Persons which are Note Agents may act (i) as administrator, sponsor or agent for one or more Structured Lenders and in such capacity acts and may continue to act on behalf of each such Structured Lender in connection with its business, and (ii) as the agent for certain financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements relating to this Agreement to which any one or more Structured Lenders is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of any such Structured Lender under various agreements.  Any such Person, in its capacity as Note Agent, shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as a Note Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Any Person which is a Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.
Section 15.10    Compliance with Applicable  Banking Law.
  In order to comply with Applicable Banking Law, the Facility Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Facility Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Facility Agent, upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Facility Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Law.
Section 15.11    The Paying Agent.
(a)    The Borrower hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the initial Paying Agent.

(c)    The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the direction or request of (y) the Facility Agent, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other party authorized to give instructions, or (z) with respect to payments pursuant to Section 8.5, at the direction of the Collateral Manager as set forth in a Compliance Certificate, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is no longer subject to appeal or review.

The receipt and/or delivery of reports and other information (including, without limitation, any Compliance Certificate) under this Agreement by the Paying Agent containing information relating to events or circumstances which may constitute an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall not constitute notice or actual or constructive knowledge of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default.
(e)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent from time to time such compensation as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Paying Agent.
(f)    The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel, selected with due care, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith.

(h)    The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Facility Agent, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, any Agent, any Lender or any other Person. The Paying Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of any Borrower Collateral.
140

(i)    Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Paying Agent, shall be the successor of the Paying Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(j)    If the Paying Agent shall at any time (i) be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, (ii) receive instructions from any of the parties authorized to give instructions which, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) receive conflicting instructions from the Facility Agent and any other party authorized to give instructions and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, then in each such case, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Facility Agent and shall incur no liability for acting in accordance therewith.
(k)    If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
(l)    The Paying Agent shall incur no liability nor be responsible to the Borrower or any other Person for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control that significantly and adversely affect the Paying Agent’s ability to perform with respect to this Agreement.  Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, acts of terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility.
(m)    In no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any nature whatsoever arising from any act or omission of the Paying Agent, whether or not the possibility of such damage was disclosed to, or could have been reasonably foreseen by, the Paying Agent and regardless of the form of action.
(n)    The Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of an Authorized Officer, any Compliance Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any failure or delay on its part to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is a direct result of the unavailability of LIBOR (or other applicable replacement rate) and/or absence of a designated replacement rate.
ARTICLE XVI

ASSIGNMENTS
Section 16.1    Restrictions on Assignments.
  Except as specifically provided herein (with respect to the Collateral Manager and the Backup Collateral Manager), neither the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVG nor the Backup Collateral Manager may assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.
Section 16.2    Documentation.
  In connection with any permitted assignment, each Lender shall deliver to each assignee an assignment, in such form as such Lender and the related assignee may agree, duly executed by such Lender assigning any such rights, obligations, Advance or Note to the assignee; and such Lender shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the items assigned, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder or under the Notes evidencing such Advance.  In the case of any permitted assignment of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or any Advance (or any portion thereof) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral 
142

Manager, the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent and the Custodian a fully executed assignment thereof or a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto.  If the assignee is not an existing Lender it shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Custodian any tax forms and other information requested by the Paying Agent or the Custodian for purposes of conducting its customary “know your customer” inquiries.
Section 16.3    Rights of Assignee.
  Upon the foreclosure of any assignment of any Advances made for security purposes, or upon any other assignment of any Advance from any Lender pursuant to this Article XVI, the respective assignee receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender hereunder with respect to such Advances and all references to the Lenders in Section 4.3 and Section 5.1 shall be deemed to apply to such assignee.
Section 16.4    Notice of Assignment by Lenders.
  So long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, any proposed assignment by a Lender to any other Person that is a commercial bank shall require at least 60 calendar days’ notice to the Borrower and TPVG and shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower and TPVG (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), other than any proposed assignment (i) to an Affiliate of such Lender, (ii) to another Lender hereunder or (iii) to any Person if such Lender makes a determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule); provided that the Lenders shall not assign any interest in, or sell a participation in any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment (or any portion thereof), to the Equityholder or any Affiliate of the Equityholder; provided, further, that each Lender shall first offer to sell such interest(s) to (x) the Lender affiliated with the Facility Agent and, if such Lender does not accept such offer within ten (10) Business Days, then (y) to each remaining Lender (pro rata) for a period of ten (10) Business Days prior to offering to any Person that is not an existing Lender.  If either of the Borrower or TPVG do not respond within such 60 calendar day period, then such proposed assignment shall be permitted.  So long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, at no time shall any Lender assign its interests hereunder to any entity (other than an Affiliate of such Lender) that is not a commercial bank, unless otherwise approved by the Borrower and TPVG.  At no time shall any assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender by subject to the prior consent of the Borrower or TPVG.  Each Lender authorizes the related Agent to, and such Agent agrees that it shall, endorse the Notes to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Article XVI or otherwise.
Section 16.5    Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
  (a)  The Facility Agent shall keep a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Facility Agent shall provide for the registration of the Notes and of transfer of interests in the Notes.  The 
143

Facility Agent is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided.
(b)    Each Person who has or who acquired an interest in a Note shall be deemed by such acquisition to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.5.  A Note may be exchanged (in accordance with Section 16.5(c)) and transferred to the holders (or their agents or nominees) of the Advances and to any assignee (in accordance with Section 16.1) (or its agent or nominee) of all or a portion of the Advances.  The Facility Agent shall not register (or cause to be registered) the transfer of such Note, unless the proposed transferee shall have delivered to the Facility Agent either (x) evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer of such Note is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws and that the transfer does not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or (y) an express agreement by the proposed transferee to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 16.5 and the restrictions noted on the face of such Note.
(c)    At the option of the holder thereof, a Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount at an office or agency of the Borrower.  Whenever any Note is so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent) the new Note which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d)    Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount.
(e)    All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Note(s) surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(f)    Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Borrower or the Facility Agent) be fully endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.  
(g)    No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Note, but the Borrower may require payment from the transferee holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of exchange of a Note, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 16.5.
(h)    The holders of the Notes shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
144

Section 16.6    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
  (a)  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Facility Agent the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent) in exchange therefor a new Note of like class and tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(b)    If there shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent prior to the payment of the Notes (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower or the Facility Agent that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Facility Agent), in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like class, tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(c)    Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 16.6, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
(d)    Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 16.6 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
(e)    The provisions of this Section 16.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.
Section 16.7    Persons Deemed Owners.
  The Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVG, the Agents, the Facility Agent and any agent for any of the foregoing may treat the holder of any Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note may be overdue, and none of Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVG, the Agents, the Facility Agent and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 16.8    Cancellation.
  All Notes surrendered for payment or registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled.  The Borrower shall promptly cancel and deliver to the Facility Agent any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Borrower may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the 
145

Borrower.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 16.8, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Section 16.9    Participations; Pledge.
  (a)  At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time grant participations in all or a portion of its Note and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments due to it under this Agreement to any Person (each, a “Participant”).  Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Lender’s direct obligations hereunder, and (B) neither the Borrower, TPVG, the Facility Agent, any other Lender, any Agent nor the Collateral Manager shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any Participant.  Each Participant shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.3(e) and shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3 and 5.1, but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.3 or 5.1 than the Lender which granted such participation interest to such Participant would be entitled to receive had such Lender not granted such interest to such Participant.  So long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Collateral Manager Default or Collateral Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, any proposed Participation shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower and TPVG, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 16.9(a) to the contrary, each Lender may pledge its interest in the Advances and the Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with Applicable Law without the prior written consent of any Person
Section 16.10    Reallocation of Advances.
  Any reallocation of Advances among Committed Lenders pursuant to an assignment agreement or a Joinder Agreement executed by such Committed Lender and its assignee(s) and delivered pursuant to Article XVI shall be wired by the applicable purchasing Lender(s) to the Paying Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions provided by the Paying Agent; provided that the Paying Agent shall not fund such wire until it has received an executed assignment agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable.

(xiii)    any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the Advances, the ownership of any Contract Payment or Contract or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating thereto in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Indemnification under this Section 17.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of any Indemnified Party and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
Section 17.2    Collateral Manager Indemnity.
  Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby occurring prior to the effective date of the removal of the Collateral Manager, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (b) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Contract, (c) any loss in value of any Permitted Investment due to changes in market conditions or for other reasons beyond the control of the Borrower, TPVG or the Collateral Manager or (d) any Excluded Taxes.

ARTICLE XVIII

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 18.1    No Waiver; Remedies.
  No failure on the part of any Lender, any Agent, the Facility Agent, any Indemnified Party or any Affected Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower and TPVG during the existence of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or TPVG (as the case may be) to the amounts owed by the Borrower or TPVG, respectively, under this Agreement, to the Facility Agent, the Agents, any Affected Person, any Indemnified Party or any Lender or their respective successors and assigns.
Section 18.2    Amendments, Waivers.
  This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified nor may any provision hereof be waived except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.  With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agents, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, TPVG, the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent, the Backup Collateral Manager and the Custodian may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of any party hereto or waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall (i) reduce the amount of or extend the maturity of any payment with respect to an Advance or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield thereon, or reduce or alter the timing of any other amount payable to any Lender hereunder, in each case without the consent of each Lender affected thereby or (ii) (A) amend, modify or waive the definitions of “Borrowing Base,” “Advance Rate,” “Event of Default” or “Excess Concentration Amount” or any definition used therein which would have the effect of modifying the meaning or operation of such provisions; provided that no waiver of an Event of Default shall require consent of all Lenders, (B) change the amount of the Facility Agent Fee, (C) alter the terms of this Section 18.2 or Section 18.11, or (D) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; provided, further, that the signature of the Borrower and TPVG shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies the representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Collateral Manager at any time when the Collateral Manager is not TPVG or any Affiliate of TPVG or a successor Collateral Manager is designated by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, further, that the signature of the Paying Agent, the Backup 
150

Collateral Manager or the Custodian (respectively) shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment that does not affect the rights or obligations of the Paying Agent, the Backup Collateral Manager or the Custodian (respectively).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the LIBOR Rate ceases to exist or is reasonably expected to cease to exist within the succeeding three (3) months, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Facility Agent may (and such parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith in order to) amend this Agreement to replace references herein to the LIBOR Rate (and any associated terms and provisions) with any alternative floating reference rate (and any associated terms and provisions) that is then being generally used in U.S. credit markets for similar types of facilities.  For the avoidance of doubt, such alternative floating reference rate selected to replace LIBOR shall at no time be less than 0.50%. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be limited to the provisions specifically set forth therein for the period of time set forth therein and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.  During the time that any Lender hereunder is a Conduit Lender, the Facility Agent will provide notice and a copy of any amendment to any of (A) this Agreement or (B) the Sale Agreement to Standard & Poor’s upon the request of such Conduit Lender.
Subject to the provisions of Section 16.4, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager each acknowledge that the Facility Agent may be communicating with other Lenders, Agents or potential lenders in connection with an amendment or syndication of this Agreement.

  The Facility Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees that any information about the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Obligors, the Contract 
154

Payments, the Related Security or otherwise obtained by the Facility Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held in confidence (it being understood that documents provided to the Facility Agent hereunder may in all cases be distributed by the Facility Agent to the Lenders) except that the Facility Agent or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors or representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (i) will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Facility Agent or such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Facility Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, (iv) with the written consent of TPVG, (v) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to those in this Section, to the extent permitted by Article XVI, (vi) to the extent the Facility Agent or such Lender should be (A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Official Body to disclose such information, (vii) for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (viii) in the case of any Lender that is a Structured Lender, to rating agencies, placement agents and providers of liquidity and credit support who agree to hold such information in confidence or (ix) at any time which is 18 months after the termination of this Agreement; provided that in the case of clause (vi) above, the Facility Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and, in the case of clause (vi)(A) above, will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify TPVG of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure.
Section 18.15    Replacement of Lenders.
  At any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender (except (i) the Facility Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Facility Agent or an Affiliate of the Facility Agent) if any such Lender (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv) or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment of additional amounts for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv), unless such Lender designates a different lending office before such change in law becomes effective and such alternate lending office obviates the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts for Increased Costs or Taxes or for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(iv) or (c) has not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 18.2, or to a request to extend the Scheduled Revolving Period Termination Date or (d) is a Defaulting Lender or (e) has declined or rejected, or the Agent for such Lender declines or rejects, an Extension Request with respect to the Revolving Period pursuant to Section 2.7; provided that (i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its failure to make any Advance, (ii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 5.1 so as to fully eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.1, if applicable, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of 
155

replacement and reallocation of such Advances between the replacement financial institution and such replaced Lender shall be made in accordance with Section 16.10, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.5, (vi) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Taxes, as the case may be and (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Facility Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
Section 18.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 18.17    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and 
156

any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The
language used in this Agreement has been chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party hereto. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the measure of a period of one month

ARTICLE II

ISSUANCES AND TRANSFERS OF SECURITIES

 

		2.1	Issuances and
                                         Transfers of Securities.

 

(a)            The
provisions in this ARTICLE II and ARTICLE VI shall apply to all Stockholder Shares now owned by a Stockholder,
including Stockholder Shares acquired by reason of original issuance, dividend, distribution and acquisition of outstanding Stockholder
Shares from another Person, and such provisions shall apply to any Stockholder Shares obtained by a Stockholder upon the exercise,
exchange or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalent.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Stockholder shall Transfer any Stockholder Shares to any Person unless such Transfer
is done in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act.

 

(c)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]

 

		2.2	Restriction on
                                         Transfer; Coordination.

 

(a)            In
addition to any other restrictions on the Transfer of Stockholder Shares contained in this Agreement, the Stockholders shall not
Transfer any Stockholder Shares except in compliance with the conditions specified in this ARTICLE II and ARTICLE VI.
Any Transfer of Stockholder Shares by any Stockholder that is not in compliance with this ARTICLE II and ARTICLE VI
and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall be null and void.

 

    13

     

    

 

(b)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]

 

(c)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]

 

(d)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Stockholder may Transfer any Stockholder Shares pursuant to a Permitted Transfer
unless such Stockholder will remain liable for all liabilities and obligations relating to the Transfer unless and until the Transferee
is substituted as a Stockholder of the Company pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof.

 

(e)            Following
the Company IPO, until such time as the CCMP Investors have consummated a secondary sale after the Company IPO of any of the Stockholder
Shares owned by the CCMP Investors (any such sale by the CCMP Investors following the Company IPO, the “CCMP First Post-IPO
Sale”), the AIMCo Investors shall not Transfer any Stockholder Shares (other than in a Permitted Transfer), including
any Transfers pursuant to a registration under ARTICLE V to the extent that such Transfer would result in the Relative
CCMP/AIMCo Ownership Percentage (as defined below) of the AIMCo Investors immediately following the effective time of the Transfer
(the “Determination Time”) being less than the Relative CCMP/AIMCo Ownership Percentage of the CCMP Investors
immediately following the Determination Time. For purposes of this Section 2.2(e), “Relative CCMP/AIMCo Ownership
Percentage” means a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of
Stockholder Shares owned by either the CCMP Investors or the AIMCo Investor, as applicable, immediately following the Determination
Time and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares owned by the CCMP Investors or the AIMCo
Investor, as applicable, immediately following the Company IPO. From and after the CCMP First Post-IPO Sale and the expiration
of any applicable underwriter’s lock-up or holdback agreement pursuant to Section 5.5, the provisions of this
Section 2.2(e) shall no longer be applicable to the AIMCo Investor.

 

(f)             Following
the Company IPO, the Investors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with respect to the timing and manner of
disposition by any Investor of any Stockholder Shares held by the Investors until the earlier of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary
of the Company IPO, (ii) such time as either the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors own less than five percent (5%) of the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) such coordination is abandoned with the consent of the CCMP Investors and
the MSD Investors (the “Coordination Period”). During the Coordination Period, the Investors shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to keep the other Investors reasonably informed as to the timing and manner of any proposed dispositions by
the Investors of any Stockholder Shares held by the Investors (including any Transfer under Rule 144, by way of a demand registration
effected under Section 5.2(a) or by way of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down effected under Section 5.4(b)),
and any Investors wishing to Transfer any Stockholder Shares during such period shall (i) comply with any applicable advance
notice provisions in ARTICLE V, and (ii) provide reasonable advance notice and consult with the other Investors
prior to taking such action or entering into any definitive agreement with respect to such action; it being understood that the
purpose of such coordination is to facilitate an orderly process for the Investors to sell their shares of Stockholder Shares,
but in no event shall any Investor have the right to consent to any sale of Stockholder Shares by any Investor, subject to such
Investor complying with the other terms of this Agreement.

 

    14

     

    

 

(g)           The
Investors have agreed, pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise, to act together with respect to their Stockholder Shares for the
duration of the Coordination Period and, as such, may be deemed to be a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act.

 

		2.3	[Intentionally Omitted.]

 

		2.4	[Intentionally Omitted.]

 

		2.5	Call Right; Forfeiture.

 

(a)            Following
the occurrence of a Repurchase Triggering Event, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) during the Call Period
to repurchase, and if such right is exercised, such Management Stockholder shall sell, and shall cause any of his, her or its Management
Stockholder Persons to sell (and each such Management Stockholder Persons shall sell), to the Company, all or any portion (as determined
by the Company) of the Stockholder Shares beneficially owned by such Persons. Each of the Management Stockholder Persons shall
be subject to this Section 2.55 as if such Management Stockholder Persons and such Management Stockholder are one and
the same. For the avoidance of doubt and except as set forth in Section 2.55(i) below, this Section 2.55
shall apply to any Stockholder Shares acquired by any Management Stockholder or any of his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons,
including pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Options or Common Stock Equivalents before or after the date
of such Repurchase Triggering Event. Treatment of Options following a Repurchase Triggering Event shall be as set forth in the
Equity Incentive Plan and the individual award agreements issued thereunder.

 

(b)            In
the event that the Company wishes to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2.55, the Company shall deliver to
the Management Stockholder and any of his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons whose Stockholder Shares are being repurchased
(or the heirs or Representatives of such Persons), a written notice (the “Call Right Notice”) at any time during
the Call Period that sets forth (i) the number of Stockholder Shares to be repurchased, (ii) the Repurchase Price and
(iii) the anticipated closing date of such transaction (the date on which such Persons are so notified, the “Call
Notice Date”). Any repurchase of Stockholder Shares by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.55 shall be
consummated no later than thirty (30) days following the Call Notice Date; provided, however, that such period shall
be automatically extended for any period of time in which such repurchase of Stockholder Shares would be prohibited as a result
of applicable Law or any contractual obligation of the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall inform the Management
Stockholder and any of his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons whose Stockholder Shares are being repurchased (or the heirs
or Representatives of such Persons) of any such prohibitions in the Call Right Notice and shall notify such Persons once such restrictions
have lapsed.

 

    15

     

    

 

(c)            (i) With
respect to any Class A Stock held by a Management Stockholder and his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons, the repurchase
of such Class A Stock by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.55 shall be made at a per share price
equal to (A) the lower of the Issue Price and the Fair Market Value of such Class A Stock as of the last day of the month
preceding the date upon which a Call Right Notice is delivered, if such Management Stockholder is terminated by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries for Cause (or if, within six (6) months following a Management Stockholder’s termination for
any reason other than for Cause and prior to the Call Notice Date, the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that
such Management Stockholder’s employment could have been terminated for Cause at the time such Management Stockholder’s
employment was terminated), or (B) the Fair Market Value of such Class A Stock as of the last day of the month preceding
the date upon which a Call Right Notice is delivered, if the employment of such Management Stockholder is terminated by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries for any other reason (including the death or Disability of such Management Stockholder) or if the Management
Stockholder resigns or quits for any reason, (ii) with respect to any shares of vested Class B Stock (including shares
of Class B Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of any Options or other Common Stock Equivalents) held by a Management
Stockholder and his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons as of the applicable Repurchase Triggering Event, the repurchase
of such shares of vested Class B Stock by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.55 shall be made
at a per share price equal to (A) the lower of the Issue Price and the Fair Market Value of such shares of vested Class B
Stock as of the last day of the month preceding the date upon which a Call Right Notice is delivered, if such Management Stockholder
is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause (or if, within six (6) months following a Management Stockholder’s
termination for any reason other than for Cause and prior to the Call Notice Date, the Board determines in its reasonable good
faith judgment that such Management Stockholder’s employment could have been terminated for Cause at the time such Management
Stockholder’s employment was terminated), or (B) the Fair Market Value of such shares of vested Class B Stock as
of the last day of the month preceding the date upon which a Call Right Notice is delivered, if the employment of such Management
Stockholder is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any other reason (including the death or Disability of
such Management Stockholder) or if the Management Stockholder resigns or quits for any reason, and (iii) with respect to any
unvested shares of Class B Stock held by a Management Stockholder and his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons as of
the applicable Repurchase Triggering Event, the repurchase of such unvested shares of Class B Stock by the Company pursuant
to the terms of this Section 2.55 shall be made at a per share price equal to the lower of the Issue Price and the Fair
Market Value of such unvested shares of Class B Stock as of the last day of the month preceding the date upon which a Call
Right Notice is delivered, if the employment of such Management Stockholder is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
for any reason (including the death or Disability of such Management Stockholder) (such applicable price as set forth in the foregoing
clauses (i)-(iii), the “Repurchase Price”).

 

(d)           The
Repurchase Price shall be paid to the applicable Management Stockholder in a lump sum cash payment on the date of consummation
(less any withholding tax required to be paid over to applicable Governmental Authorities); provided, however, that
if the Company is prohibited from purchasing all or any portion of such Stockholder Shares, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.55,
(i) because restrictive covenants or other provisions contained in the documents evidencing the Company’s or any of
its Affiliates’ indebtedness for borrowed money do not permit or allow the Company to make such payments in cash in whole
or in part; or (ii) pursuant to applicable Law, the portion of the Repurchase Price not permitted to be made in cash may be
paid by the execution and delivery by the Company of a promissory note or other deferred cash payment arrangement (if applicable,
any promissory note to be subordinated to the indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any of its Affiliates) bearing
interest at the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern edition, on the first Business Day immediately prior
to the day on which such promissory note or other deferred cash payment is issued, with principal and accrued interest payable
at such time as is required in the Board’s determination to ensure that any payment pursuant to such promissory note or other
deferred cash payment arrangement is not prohibited because of any of the matters described in clauses (i) or (ii) of
this Section 2.55(d); provided, that such time of payment shall not be greater than five (5) years from
the date of execution of the promissory note or deferred cash payment arrangement. Each Management Stockholder and any applicable
Management Stockholder Person agree that, upon such Person’s receipt of such Repurchase Price, any outstanding Stockholder
Shares then owned by such Person that are repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.55 shall automatically, without any
further action by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Management Stockholder or any applicable Management
Stockholder Person, be Transferred, sold and assigned to the Company and the Secretary of the Company shall automatically and irrevocably
be appointed to Transfer such Stockholder Shares to the Company on the books of the Company with full power of substitution.

 

    16

     

    

 

(e)           With
respect to any repurchase of Stockholder Shares pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.55, the delivery of a certificate
or certificates representing such Stockholder Shares shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Management Stockholder
or any applicable Management Stockholder Person that (i) such Management Stockholder or applicable Management Stockholder
Person has full right, title and interest in and to such Stockholder Shares, (ii) such Management Stockholder or applicable
Management Stockholder Person has all necessary power, authority and legal capacity and has taken all necessary action to enter
into such sale transaction and to Transfer valid right, title and interest in such Stockholder Shares, (iii) such Stockholder
Shares are free and clear of any and all liens, pledges or other encumbrances, (iv) there is no adverse claim with respect
to such Stockholder Shares and (v) such sale transaction does not conflict with any Laws, contracts or organizational documents
applicable to him, her or it as the result of such sale transaction. Additionally, the applicable Management Stockholder or Management
Stockholder Person agrees to deliver any certificate representing Stockholder Shares being repurchased under this Section 2.55
and shall provide such other representations and warranties to the Company that the Company reasonably determines are required
by applicable Law.

 

(f)            The
Company shall have the right to revoke the Call Right Notice or its decision to repurchase Stockholder Shares pursuant to the terms
of this Section 2.55 at any time prior to consummation of the applicable repurchase.

 

(g)           Should
any applicable Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder Person fail to deliver at the closing of a repurchase in accordance
with this Section 2.55 all of the applicable Stockholder Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, if the Repurchase
Price has been paid in accordance with Section 2.55(c), the Company shall, in addition to all other remedies it may
have, cancel on its books such Stockholder Shares registered in the name of such Management Stockholder or any applicable Management
Stockholder Person, and all of such Management Stockholder’s or any applicable Management Stockholder Person’s right,
title, and interest in and to such Stockholder Shares shall terminate in all respects concurrently with the payment of the Repurchase
Price.

 

    17

     

    

 

(h)           If
a Management Stockholder or any applicable Management Stockholder Person holds Stockholder Shares which the Company wishes to repurchase
in accordance with this Section 2.55, such Management Stockholder or any applicable Management Stockholder Person shall
be entitled to payment in accordance with Section 2.55(c), but shall no longer be entitled to participate in the Company
or enjoy other rights as a Stockholder of the Company with respect to such Stockholder Shares. To the maximum extent permitted
by Law, such Management Stockholder’s or any applicable Management Stockholder Person’s rights following the Call Right
Notice, with respect to the repurchase of the Stockholder Shares covered thereby, shall be solely the rights that he, she or it
has as a general creditor of the Company to receive the amount set forth in Section 2.55(c).

 

(i)            The
Company shall not assign its call rights pursuant to this Section 2.55 to any Person.

 

(j)            Each
Management Stockholder shall cause any of his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons that hold Stockholder Shares to comply
with the terms of this Section 2.55 and shall be liable for any breaches of the terms of this Section 2.55
by any of his, her or its Management Stockholder Persons that hold Stockholder Shares.

 

(k)           The
rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 2.55 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect
upon the later of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the consummation of the Company IPO and (ii) the termination
of any Call Period with a Call Period Start Date prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the consummation of the Company
IPO.

		5.2	Required Registration.

 

(a)            The
Company shall use its best efforts to promptly effect the registration of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, at any time
after the CCMP Investors or of the MSD Investors shall request that the Company effect the registration of such Registrable Shares
under the Securities Act (the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors, as applicable, making such request or joining with it, the “Requesting
Stockholders”), which shall be effected as a Shelf Registration if so requested by the Requesting Stockholder and the
Company is eligible to use a Form S-3.

 

    18

     

    

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration
under the Securities Act except in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            The
Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement for a period of up to forty-five (45) days after the
date of a request for registration pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.4 if at the time of such
request: (x) the Company is engaged, or has fixed plans to engage within thirty (30) days of the time of such request, in
an Underwritten Offering of Primary Shares in which the holders of Registrable Shares have been or will be permitted to include
all the Registrable Shares so requested to be registered pursuant to Section 5.3, (y) the Board reasonably determines
in good faith that such registration and offering would significantly interfere with any Material Transaction involving the Company,
or (z) within the last forty-five (45) days the Company has completed an Underwritten Offering of Primary Shares in which
the holders of Registrable Shares were permitted to include all of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered pursuant to
Section 5.3; provided, however, that the Company shall only be entitled to invoke its rights under this
Section 5.2(b)(i)  one time with respect to a request made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)  during
any 12-month period without the consent of the Requesting Stockholders;

 

(ii)            With
respect to any registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 or Section 5.4, (a) the Company shall give
prompt written notice of such registration to each Stockholder that holds Registrable Shares and is eligible to participate in
such registration hereunder, and shall offer to and shall include in such proposed registration Registrable Shares requested to
be included in such proposed registration by each such Stockholder up to such Stockholder’s pro rata share determined based
on the number of Registrable Shares that the Requesting Stockholders propose to sell in such registration as compared to the number
of outstanding Registrable Shares held by the Requesting Stockholders immediately prior to such registration, provided that
such Stockholder responds in writing to the Company’s notice within five (5) days after delivery by the Company of such
notice (which response shall specify the number of Registrable Shares such Stockholder is requesting to include in such registration),
and (b) the Company may include in such registration any Primary Shares or Other Shares; provided, however,
that if the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing (with a copy to each Requesting Stockholder) that, in such firm’s
good faith view, the inclusion of all Registrable Shares, Primary Shares and/or Other Shares proposed to be included in such registration
would significantly interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Registrable Shares proposed to be included
in such registration, then the number of Registrable Shares, Primary Shares and/or Other Shares proposed to be included in such
registration shall be included in the following order:

 

(A)          first,
the Registrable Shares owned by the Stockholders (including those requesting registration pursuant to this Section 5.2
and Section 5.3), pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Shares owned by the Stockholders; provided,
that if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of all Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such
registration would materially adversely affect the offering and sale (including pricing) of all such Securities, then the number
of Registrable Shares to be included in such registration shall be allocated among the Stockholders on a pro rata basis in accordance
with the number of Registrable Shares owned by the Stockholders who have requested inclusion;

 

    19

     

    

 

(B)         second,
the Primary Shares; and

 

(C)         third,
the Other Shares;

 

provided, that at the election of the Company and the
Requesting Stockholder, any registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 may be converted into a registration pursuant
to Section 5.3 or 5.4 (in which event, such registration shall not be deemed to be a registration requested
under Section 5.2(a)).

 

(c)           If
the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares of the Requesting Stockholders requesting to be included in a registration
pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.4 so elect, the offering of such Registrable Shares pursuant
to such registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. The Requesting Stockholder (or the Company, in the case
of an Underwritten Offering of Primary Shares initiated by the Company) shall select one or more nationally recognized firms of
investment bankers reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the lead managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with
such offering.

 

(d)           At
any time before the registration statement covering such Registrable Shares becomes effective, the Requesting Stockholders may
request the Company to withdraw or not to file the registration statement. Upon receipt of notices to such effect from the Requesting
Stockholders, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable registration statement covering such
Registrable Shares.

 

(e)           The
CCMP Investors and the MSD Investors shall have an unlimited number of requests under this Section 5.2.

 

		5.3	Piggyback Registration.

 

(a)            If
the Company proposes for any reason to register any of its Securities (in any event either for its own account or for the account
of other security holders) under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities
Act (or any successor or similar forms thereto)), it shall give prompt written notice, with such notice to specify the number of
Registrable Shares to be registered, to each Stockholder that holds Registrable Shares of its intention to so register such Securities
at least five (5) days before the initial filing of the registration statement related thereto (a “Piggyback Notice”).

 

(b)           Following
delivery of a Piggyback Notice, if any Stockholder receiving such notice delivers a request to the Company within two (2) Business
Days after such receipt to include such Stockholder’s Registrable Shares in such registration (which request shall specify
the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
all such Registrable Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Securities otherwise being
sold in such registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter, if any, advises the Company in writing
that, in such firm’s good faith view, the inclusion of all Primary Shares and Registrable Shares requested to be included
in such registration would significantly interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the shares of Common Stock
proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of Primary Shares, Registrable Shares and Other Shares proposed to be
included in such registration shall be included in the order set forth below:

 

    20

     

    

 

(i)             first,
the Primary Shares (if any);

 

(ii)            second,
the Registrable Shares owned by Stockholders requesting that their Registrable Shares be included in such registration pursuant
to the terms of this Section 5.3, pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Shares owned by each such Stockholder
at the time of such registration; and

 

(iii)           third,
the Other Shares.

 

(c)            No
registration effected pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration
upon request under Section 5.2, nor shall any registration under this Section 5.3 be deemed to have been
effected pursuant to Section 5.2. The Company will pay all expenses of registration in connection with each registration
pursuant to this Section 5.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 5.3 shall not apply
to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down effected under Section 5.4(b) or a Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down effected
under Section 5.4(c).

 

(d)           The
number of requests permitted by the applicable Stockholders with respect to their Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 5.3
shall be unlimited.

 

		5.4	Registration
                                         on Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR.

 

(a)            At
such time as the Company (i) shall have qualified for the use of Form S-3 or any other form which permits incorporation
of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission (“Form S-3”),
the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly file a registration statement on Form S-3, or (ii) is a Well-Known
Seasoned Issuer, the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly file a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (or any successor
form), and, in each case, to effect promptly and maintain in effect a registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Shares
in accordance with this Section 5.4 (either (i) or (ii) above, a “Shelf Registration”)
(including filing a replacement registration statement upon expiration of a Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR).

 

(b)            The
Company shall (i) promptly use its best efforts to promptly effect such registration on Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR,
as applicable, providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating
to the offer and sale, from time to time, of the Registrable Shares that the Company has been so requested to register, and (ii) use
its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus
forming a part thereof to be usable by the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors, as applicable, until the date as of which all Registrable
Shares have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or another registration statement is filed under the Securities Act (but
in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder).
In connection with any proposed Underwritten Offering of Registrable Shares by the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors (such requesting
party, the “Sponsor Requesting Party”, and any Investor that is not the Sponsor Requesting Party, the “Sponsor
Non-Requesting Party”), that is not pursuant to a demand registration under Section 5.2 and with respect
to which a Shelf Registration is expressly being utilized to effect such resale (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”)
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Company shall give prompt notice to any Sponsor Non-Requesting Party that has Registrable
Shares registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration of the receipt of a request from the Sponsor Requesting Party of a proposed
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down under and pursuant to the Shelf Registration and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, will provide the Sponsor Non-Requesting Party a period of two (2) Business Days to participate in such Underwritten
Shelf Take-Down, subject to the terms negotiated by and applicable to the Sponsor Requesting Party and subject to “cutback”
limitations set forth in Section 5.2, as if the subject Underwritten Shelf Take-Down was being effected pursuant to
a demand registration thereunder.

 

    21

     

    

 

(c)            Subject
to Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.2(f), if the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors or the AIMCo Investors
(each, a “Requesting Party”) desire to effect a shelf take-down under and pursuant to the Shelf Registration
that does not constitute an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (“Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), the Requesting
Party shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the expected
date of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Shares expected
to be offered and sold in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Underwritten
Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) in
connection with such Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates representing shares
of Registrable Shares to be sold in such Non- Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and the Company shall file and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable.

 

(d)            Subject
to the next sentence of this Section 5.4(d), the AIMCo Investors shall not be entitled to sell Registrable Shares included
in any Shelf Registration by utilizing such Shelf Registration if any such proposed sale would require a prospectus supplement
or an “underwritten” shelf takedown (including by way of block trade) such that (i) the Company would be obligated
to enter into any underwriting agreements; (ii) any officer or director, the Company, any Other Stockholder, the CCMP Investors
or the MSD Investors would have to execute a lock-up or holdback agreement for the benefit of any underwriter; (iii) the Company
would have to cause legal opinions to be delivered; or (iv) the Company would be obligated to cause comfort letters to be
delivered in connection with the proposed registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.4(d),
to the extent the CCMP Investors or MSD Investors propose to sell any of their Registrable Shares pursuant to and under a Shelf
Registration, including pursuant to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or a Non-Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, subject to Section 2.2(e),
the AIMCo Investors shall be entitled to participate in such sale pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.3 (including
as applied mutatis mutandis with respect to shelf take-downs pursuant to Section 5.4) up to an amount of their Registrable
Shares equal to a fraction, the numerator being the number of Registrable Shares the CCMP Investors or MSD Investors, as applicable,
propose to sell and the denominator being the total number of Registrable Shares owned by the CCMP Investors or MSD Investors,
as applicable, immediately prior to such proposed sale (and in the event that both the CCMP Investors and MSD Investors are participating
in such Shelf Registration in different proportions, pro rata based on the Investor selling the higher proportion of its Registrable
Shares); the restrictions set forth in subclauses (i) - (iv) above shall not apply to the AIMCo Investors’ participation
in a sale pursuant to and under a Shelf Registration pursuant to this sentence if the event or circumstance described in such restriction
would have already existed as a result of the participation in such sale by the CCMP Investors or MSD Investors, as applicable.

 

    22

     

    

 

(e)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE V, the Management Stockholders shall not have any right to include
in any proposed registration any Registrable Shares in connection with, or be entitled to participate with respect to, an Underwritten
Offering effectuated by the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors with respect to a Shelf Registration under this Section 5.4.

 

		5.5	Holdback Agreement.

 

(a)            If
the Company at any time shall register an offering and sale of shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in an Underwritten
Offering pursuant to any registration under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8), including an Underwritten
Offering effectuated pursuant to Sections 5.2, no Stockholder shall sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the
purchase of, or otherwise Transfer any Stockholder Shares (other than (A) those Registrable Shares included in such registration
pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4, (B) a Transfer without consideration by a Stockholder that is
a limited liability company or limited partnership to its members, partners or investment advisors, (C) a Permitted Transfer,
including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, or (D) in the case of the Investors only, any Transfers of Registrable Shares
owned by such Investors and acquired in the Company IPO or following the Company IPO, made through open market purchases by third
party investment managers with discretionary investment authority for such Investors (and who acquired such Registrable Shares
on behalf of such Investors pursuant to such discretionary authority); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the exception
set forth in the foregoing clause (D) shall not apply to any Registrable Shares acquired by such Investors prior to the Company
IPO), without the prior written consent of the Company for a period and on other terms as shall be determined by the lead underwriters
and that is for the same time period and on substantially similar terms as agreed to by the CCMP Investors and the MSD Investors;
provided, further, that such time period shall not exceed ninety (90) days after the consummation of such Underwritten
Offering without the prior written consent of such Stockholder.

 

(b)            If
the Company at any time pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4, shall register under the Securities Act an
offering and sale of Registrable Shares held by Stockholders for sale to the public pursuant to an Underwritten Offering (including
an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the lead underwriters for such offering,
effect any public sale or distribution of Securities similar to those being registered, or any Securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for such Securities, for such period as shall be determined by the lead underwriters and that is for the same period
and on substantially similar terms as agreed to by the CCMP Investors and the MSD Investors.

 

    23

     

    

 

(c)            At
any time following the Company IPO, any Stockholder that, together with its Affiliates, holds less than five percent (5%) of the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock may elect (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Withdrawing
Holders”)), by written notice to the Company, to withdraw from the provisions of this ARTICLE V and as a
result of such withdrawal, such Withdrawing Holders shall no longer be entitled to the rights, nor be subject to the obligations,
of this ARTICLE V and the Common Stock held by the Withdrawing Holders shall conclusively be deemed thereafter not
to be “Registrable Shares” under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no withdrawal pursuant to this Section 5.5(c) shall
release any Withdrawing Holder from any indemnification and contribution rights and obligations under ARTICLE V hereof.

 

		5.6	Preparation and
                                         Filing.

 

If and whenever the Company is under an
obligation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect the registration of an offering and sale
of any Registrable Shares, including pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as practicable:

 

(a)            use
its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement that registers such offering of Registrable Shares to contain a “Plan
of Distribution” that permits the distribution of Securities pursuant to all means in compliance with Law, and to prepare
and file such Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement for a period of 180 days or, if earlier, until all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of; provided,
that in the case of any registration of Registrable Shares on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or
delayed basis, such 180-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement continuously effective,
supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for sales of such Registrable Shares, and to ensure
that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
SEC as announced from time to time, until each seller of Registrable Shares (each, a “Selling Holder”) has sold
all of such Registrable Shares;

 

(b)            furnish,
at least five (5) Business Days before filing a Registration Statement that registers such Registrable Shares, a Prospectus
relating thereto and any amendments or supplements relating to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, to each Stockholder whose
Registrable Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement and to one counsel selected by the CCMP Investors for the benefit
of the CCMP Investors whose Registrable Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement (the “CCMP Investors’
Counsel”), one counsel selected by the MSD Investors for the benefit of the MSD Investors whose Registrable Shares are
to be covered by such Registration Statement (the “MSD Investors’ Counsel”), one counsel selected by the
AIMCo Investors for the benefit of the AIMCo Investors whose Registrable Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement
(the “AIMCo Investors’ Counsel”), and one counsel selected by the Management Stockholders for the benefit
of the Management Stockholders whose Registrable Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement (the “Management
Stockholders’ Counsel”), as well as copies of all such other documents proposed to be filed (it being understood
that such five (5) Business Day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long
as such successive drafts are supplied to such counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a period of time that is customary
and reasonable under the circumstances), and shall use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as the Stockholders whose Registrable Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement may reasonably
propose;

 

    24 

     

    

 

(c)            prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by any Selling Holder or necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a
period of at least 180 days (and if a Form S-3 Registration Statement, until the expiration of the applicable period specified
in Section 5.6(a)) or, if earlier, until all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of and to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the offering and sale or other disposition of such Registrable Shares;

 

(d)            notify
the CCMP Investors’ Counsel, the MSD Investors’ Counsel, the AIMCo Investors’ Counsel and the Management Stockholders’
Counsel promptly in writing of (i) any comments by the Commission with respect to such Registration Statement or Prospectus,
or any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect thereto;
(ii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and (iii) the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes, and in each case, provide the CCMP Investors’ Counsel,
the MSD Investors’ Counsel, the AIMCo Investors’ Counsel and the Management Stockholders’ Counsel with copies
of any relevant documentation in connection therewith;

 

(e)            use
its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or “blue sky” Laws of such
jurisdictions as any Selling Holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may reasonably be necessary
or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned
by such Selling Holder;

 

(f)            furnish
to each Selling Holder such number of copies of any Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and
such other documents as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the Underwritten Offering and sale or
other disposition of such Registrable Shares (to the extent not publicly available on EDGAR or the Company’s website);

 

(g)            use
its best efforts to cause such offering and sale of Registrable Shares to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental
Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof
to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;

 

(h)            notify
on a timely basis each Selling Holder at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 5.6(b) of the happening of any event
as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered
to the offerees of such shares, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing;

 

    25 

     

    

 

(i)             make
available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration
Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”),
all pertinent financial, business and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively,
the “Records”), as shall reasonably be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility,
and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the “Information”)
reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement (and any of the Information that the
Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed
by the Inspectors unless (A) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or
omission in the Registration Statement; (B) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court of competent jurisdiction; (C) such Information has been made generally available to the public; or (D) the
Selling Holder agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction,
give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of the Information deemed confidential);

 

(j)             use
its best efforts to obtain from its independent certified public accountants a “cold comfort” letter (or, in the case
of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a “cold comfort” letter specified in Statement
on Auditing Standards No. 72, an “agreed upon procedures” letter) and “bring-down” letter signed by
the independent certified public accountants and addressed to the Selling Holders (to the extent consistent with such auditing
standards), the Board, and the underwriter, if any, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered
by cold comfort letters;

 

(k)            (i) use
its best efforts to obtain, from its counsel, an opinion or opinions in customary form (which in addition to the underwriters shall
also be addressed to the Selling Holders in such registration), and (ii) cause such authorized officers of the Company to
execute customary certificates as may be requested by any Selling Holder or any underwriter of such Registrable Shares; and

 

(l)             have
appropriate officers of the Company prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts and rating
agencies, as the case may be, and other information meetings organized by the underwriters, take other actions to obtain ratings
for any Registrable Shares (if they are eligible to be rated) and otherwise use its best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested
by the sellers of such Registrable Shares in the offering, marketing or selling of such Registrable Shares;

 

    26 

     

    

 

(m)            provide
a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same Person and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Shares and a CUSIP
number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of the applicable registration statement;

 

(n)            in
the event that the Company exercises its rights under Section 5.2(b)(i), it shall, as promptly as practicable following
the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
effectiveness of, as applicable, the deferred or suspended registration statement;

 

(o)            issue
to any underwriter to which any Selling Holder may sell shares in such offering certificates evidencing such Registrable Shares;

 

(p)            list
such Registrable Shares on any national securities exchange on which any shares of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common
Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such Registrable Shares for quotation on
the automated quotation system of the NASDAQ, National Market System, Euronext or such other national securities exchange as the
holders of a majority of such Registrable Shares included in such registration shall request and to cause such Registrable Shares
to remain listed;

 

(q)            register
such Registrable Shares under the Exchange Act, and otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than
eighteen (18) months after the effective date, earnings statements (which need not be audited) covering a period of twelve (12)
months beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statements
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder, and cooperate with
each Selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Shares and their respective
counsel in connection with any filings to be made with FINRA; and

 

(r)             use
its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares contemplated hereby.

 

		5.7	Expenses.

    27 

     

    

 

		5.8	Indemnification.

 

(a)            In
connection with any registration, offering or sale of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company and its Subsidiaries shall indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, each underwriter, broker or any other Person
acting on behalf of such seller, each other Person, if any, who Controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the
Securities Act and each Representative of any of the foregoing Persons, against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits,
costs (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements), claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to
which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered, any Prospectus contained therein, any Free Writing Prospectus, any
offering circular, offering memorandum or Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident
to registration or qualification of any offering and sale of any Registrable Shares, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or, with respect to any Prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under
which they were made not misleading, or any violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the Securities Act or state
securities or “blue sky” Laws applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and relating to action required
or inaction of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with such registration or qualification under such state securities
or “blue sky” Laws, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall promptly reimburse such seller, underwriter, broker,
Controlling Person or Representative for any legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, penalty, judgment, suit, cost, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be liable to any such Person to the extent that any such loss, penalty, judgment,
suit, cost, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in said Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, offering
memorandum or Disclosure Package, or amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident to registration or qualification
of any Registrable Shares in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its Subsidiaries
through an instrument duly executed by such Person, or a Person duly acting on their behalf, expressly for inclusion therein.

 

    28 

     

    

 

(b)            In
connection with any registration of an offering and sale of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement,
each Selling Holder severally, and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as
set forth in Section 5.8(a)) the Company, each underwriter or broker involved in such offering, each other Selling
Holder under such Registration Statement, each Person who Controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities
Act and any Representative of the foregoing Persons with respect to any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission contained in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered, any Prospectus
contained therein, Free Writing Prospectus, any offering circular, offering memorandum or Disclosure Package, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or any document incident to registration or qualification of any offering and sale of any Registrable Shares,
if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company, its
Subsidiaries, or such underwriter through an instrument duly executed by such Selling Holder or a Person duly acting on such Selling
Holder’s behalf expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular,
offering memorandum or Disclosure Package, or amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the maximum
amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each Selling Holder, to an amount equal
to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration.

 

(c)            Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 5.8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is not made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action (provided, however, that an indemnified
party’s failure to give such notice in a timely manner shall only relieve the indemnification obligations of an indemnifying
party to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure). In case any such action is brought against
an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded (based
upon the written advice of counsel) that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party
which are in addition to or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves
or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 5.8, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying
party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person Controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and
expenses of any one lead counsel (plus appropriate special and local counsel) retained by the indemnified party that are reasonably
related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 5.8; provided, further,
that, if there is more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be required to reimburse the expenses
for the lead counsel (plus appropriate special and local counsel) approved in writing by the indemnified party or parties (as applicable)
holding a majority of the Registrable Shares held by all indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and
does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified
party.

 

    29 

     

    

 

(d)            If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable
to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, penalty, judgment, suit, cost, claim, damage, liability or action referred to
herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such any such loss, penalty, judgment, suit, cost, claim, damage, liability
or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such any such loss, penalty,
judgment, suit, cost, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided,
however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each Selling
Holder, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares effected
pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of
fraud shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder.

 

(e)            The
indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the Transfer of Registrable Shares.

		5.9	Underwriting
                                         Agreement.

 

(a)            Except
for the provisions of Sections 5.5, to the extent that the Selling Holders shall enter into an underwriting or similar agreement
that contains provisions covering one or more issues addressed in such Sections of this Agreement which are customary for an underwriting
or similar agreement (an “Underwriting Agreement”), to the extent such provisions of the Underwriting Agreement
are inconsistent with the provisions contained in the applicable Sections of this Agreement addressing such issue or issues, the
terms of the applicable Underwriting Agreement shall govern with respect to such provisions.

 

(b)            If
any registration pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 is requested to be an Underwritten Offering, the Company
shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a reasonable and customary underwriting agreement with the underwriters thereof. The
Company shall make such representations and warranties, and provide such indemnities, to the holders of Registrable Shares being
registered, and the underwriters or agents, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in secondary
Underwritten Offerings and take any other actions as such holders, or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request
in order to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of such Registrable Shares. The Company and its Subsidiaries
shall be entitled to receive indemnities from lead institutions, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with respect to information so furnished
in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement and to the extent customarily
given their role in such distribution.

 

(c)            No
Stockholder may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten under Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4
unless such Stockholder agrees to sell such Stockholder’s Registrable Shares proposed to be included therein on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Company in the case of an offering of Primary Shares, or,
in the case of an offering pursuant to Section 5.2, reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Requesting Stockholders.

 

(d)            Any
Selling Holder electing to be included in registration pursuant to this ARTICLE V must sell its Registrable Shares
to the underwriters selected by the Sponsor Requesting Party or the Company, as applicable, on the same terms and conditions as
apply to such Sponsor Requesting Party or the Company, as applicable, and must enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting; provided, however, that any Selling Holder
shall not be required to make any representations or warranties, or provide any indemnity, in connection with any such registration
other than representations and warranties (or indemnities with respect thereto) as to (i) such Selling Holder’s ownership
of his, her or its Registrable Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (ii) such Selling
Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities
Laws by such Selling Holder as may be reasonably requested; provided, that in no event shall any Selling Holder be required
to make any representations regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their respective businesses); provided,
further, however, that the obligation of any Selling Holder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements
shall be several, not joint and several, among such Persons selling Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Person will
be in proportion thereto; provided, further, that such liability will be limited to the net proceeds received by
each such Person from the sale of its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration.

		5.10	Information
                                         by Holder.

 

Each holder of Registrable Shares to be
included in any registration shall furnish to the Company and the managing underwriter such written information regarding such
holder and the distribution proposed by such holder as the Company or the managing underwriter may reasonably request in writing
and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
Each Stockholder shall, as expeditiously as possible, notify the Company of the occurrence of any event concerning such Stockholder
as a result of which the Prospectus relating to such registration contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

 

		5.11	Exchange Act
                                         Compliance.

 

From and after the Effective Time hereof,
the Company shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (whether or not it shall be required to do
so) and shall comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the Commission that are conditions to the availability
of Rule 144 for the sale of the Common Stock. The Company shall cooperate with each Stockholder in supplying such information
as may be necessary for such Stockholder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by
the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144.

 

ARTICLE VI

SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE; LEGENDS

 

		6.1	Restrictive Legends.

 

Each certificate for Stockholder Shares
shall (unless otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 6.3) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
in substantially the following terms:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
OR BLUE SKY LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED THEREUNDER OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER IS AVAILABLE.”

 

    32 

     

    

 

		6.2	Notice of Transfer.

 

The holder of any Stockholder Shares, by
his, her or its acceptance or purchase thereof, agrees, prior to any direct Transfer of any such Stockholder Shares (except pursuant
to an effective Registration Statement), to give written notice to the Company of such holder’s intention to effect such
Transfer and agrees to comply in all other respects with the provisions of this ARTICLE VI. Each such notice shall
describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer and if requested by the Company, such holder shall provide a written
opinion, addressed to the Company, of counsel for such holder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided,
that if such holder is an Investor, the opinion of its in-house counsel shall be deemed acceptable to the Company), stating that
in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed Transfer does not
involve a transaction requiring registration of such Stockholder Shares under the Securities Act. Each certificate or other instrument
evidencing the Stockholder Shares issued upon the Transfer of any Stockholder Shares other than pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement (and each certificate or other instrument evidencing any untransferred balance of such Stockholder Shares) shall bear
the legend set forth in Section 6.1 unless (i) in such opinion of such counsel registration of future Transfer
is not required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) the Company shall have waived the requirement of
such legend.

 

		6.3	Removal of Legends,
                                         Etc.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this ARTICLE VI, the restrictions imposed by Sections 2.2, 6.1 and 6.2 upon the transferability
of any Stockholder Shares shall cease and terminate when (a) such Stockholder Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with the intended method of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in a Registration Statement or are
sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction contemplated by Section 6.2 which does not require that the Stockholder
Shares Transferred bear the legend set forth in Section 6.1, or (b) the holder of such Stockholder Shares has met the
requirement of Transfer of such Stockholder Shares pursuant to Rule 144. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Sections
2.2, 6.1 and 6.2 shall terminate, as herein provided, the holder of any Stockholder Shares shall be entitled
to receive from the Company, without expense, a new certificate not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 6.1
and not containing any other reference to the restrictions imposed by Sections 2.2, 6.1 and 6.2.

 

		6.4	Additional Legend.

 

(a)            Each
certificate evidencing Stockholder Shares and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Stockholder Shares
(if such shares remain Stockholder Shares as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH [●], 2021
(AS AMENDED, MODIFIED, SUPPLEMENTED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “AGREEMENT”), AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES
(THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS. THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN
REQUEST.”

 

    33 

     

    

 

(b)            The
legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be Stockholder Shares held by
a Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

		6.5	Future Stockholders.

 

Any Permitted Transferee or member of any
Stockholder Group to which any Stockholder Shares are Transferred (who is not already a party to this Agreement) shall, as a condition
to the effectiveness of such Transfer, execute a Joinder Agreement; provided, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply
to Stockholder Shares sold in a registered offering or Transferred following the Company IPO in accordance with Rule 144.
Such Person shall become an Other Stockholder, unless such Person is (i) a Permitted Transferee of an Investor, in which case
such Person shall become a CCMP Investor, MSD Investor or AIMCo Investor, as applicable, or (ii) an employee of the Company
or its Subsidiaries or an Affiliate of such employee, in which case such Person shall become both a Management Stockholder and
an Other Stockholder (it being understood that clause (ii) supersedes clause (i) above). Any failure by any Person to
obtain a Joinder Agreement from a Transferee in connection with any Permitted Transfer to the extent required under this Agreement
shall render such Transfer null and void.

 

ARTICLE VII

AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

 

		7.1	Amendment.

 

Except as expressly set forth herein, the
provisions of this Agreement may only be amended or waived with the prior written consent of (a) the Company, (b) the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares at such time, (c) the CCMP Investors (so long as the CCMP Investors own at
least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock) and (d) the MSD Investors (so long as the MSD Investors
own at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock); provided, however, that any amendment
or waiver that would (i) with respect to any particular Investor, (A) have a disproportionate (as compared to any other
Investor and taking into account and considering the rights, privileges and obligations of any such Investor hereunder prior to
such amendment or waiver) and adverse effect on the rights, privileges or obligations of such Investor under this Agreement, (B) have
an adverse effect on any rights that are expressly specific to such Investor, or (C) impose new obligations (other than non-substantive
or ministerial obligations) on such Investor, shall, in each case, also require the prior written consent of such Investor; or
(ii) have a disproportionate (as compared to the CCMP Investors or the MSD Investors and taking into account and considering
the rights and obligations of any such Management Stockholder hereunder prior to such amendment or waiver) and adverse effect on
the rights of Management Stockholders in their capacity as such under this Agreement, shall also require the prior written consent
of holders of a majority of the Stockholder Shares held by Management Stockholders; provided, further, that (i) any
amendments to this Agreement in connection with the granting of any rights, privileges and obligations to any third-party investor
to the extent necessary to implement the issuance of additional Securities to such third-party investor shall not be deemed an
amendment or modification hereof that requires the additional consent set forth in the proviso above (so long as the granting of
such rights, privileges and obligations does not involve the express modification or elimination of any rights, privileges or obligations
previously granted to any such Stockholder(s)), and (ii) any waiver that only relates to the waiver of any rights of the Stockholders
hereunder shall only need to be waived by the requisite Stockholders, as set forth above, and not the Company.

 

    34 

     

    

 

		7.2	Waiver.

 

No course of dealing between the Company
and the Stockholders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of
any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way
be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

 

The provisions of this Agreement will terminate
automatically upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date that no Registrable Shares are outstanding or (ii) the consummation
of a Liquidity Event.

 

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

 

		9.1	Severability.

 

It is the desire and intent of the parties
hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied
in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction,
shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability
of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction,
it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

		9.2	Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement, the Investor Subscription
Agreements, the Management Rollover Agreements, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as any
such may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) and any other agreements referred to herein embody the entire
agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and preempt
any and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, arrangements or representations by or among such parties, written
or oral, which may relate to the subject matter hereof or thereof in any way. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this
Agreement, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, the Management Rollover Agreements and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as
any such may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) include provisions related to the same or similar rights and
obligations of the parties hereto and thereto, as applicable, including with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality
restrictions, among others, and (ii) all such provisions, whether contained in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreements, the Management Rollover Agreements or the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as such agreements may be amended, supplemented
or modified from time to time) are intended by the parties hereto and thereto, as applicable, to co-exist with and apply in addition
to, and not in lieu or modification of, any provisions contained in any other agreement.

 

    35 

     

    

 

		9.3	Independence
                                         of Agreements and Covenants.

 

All agreements and covenants hereunder shall
be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain agreement or covenant,
the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another agreement or covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default,
unless expressly permitted under an exception to such initial agreement or covenant.

 

		9.4	Successors and
                                         Assigns.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and
the Stockholders and any subsequent holders of Stockholder Shares and the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of
them, so long as they hold Stockholder Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the
rights that inure to any of the Investors under this Agreement shall be transferable or assignable by such Investors (whether in
connection with a Transfer of their shares of Stockholder Shares or otherwise) other than to an Investor Permitted Transferee;
provided that any Investor Permitted Transferee will be required to execute a Joinder Agreement and will be subject to any
restrictions which such Transferor was subject to under this Agreement.

 

		9.5	Counterparts;
                                         Facsimile Signatures; Validity.

 

This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts
have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered (by e-mail or otherwise) to the other parties hereto, it being understood
that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. Any counterpart or other signature hereupon delivered by e-mail or
similar generally accepted electronic means shall be deemed for all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery
of this Agreement by such party.

 

		9.6	Remedies.

 

(a)            Each
Stockholder shall have all rights and remedies reserved for such Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement and all rights and remedies
which such Stockholder has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Stockholder
has under any Law or in equity. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce
such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other
rights granted by Law or in equity.

 

    36 

     

    

 

(b)            Each
party hereto agrees that if any other Person party hereto seeks to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement pursuant to
a legal proceeding, the prevailing party to such proceeding shall be entitled to receive reasonable fees and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceedings.

 

(c)            It
is acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered by any party hereto if any other
Person party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed upon such party in this Agreement and that in the event
of any such failure, the aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Any such aggrieved
party shall, therefore, be entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any
action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the
defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

 

		9.7	Notices.

 

All notices, amendments, waivers or other
communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered,

		9.8	Governing Law;
                                         Venue.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision
or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Delaware to apply. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that it may not bring any claim, suit, action or
other proceeding in any jurisdiction other than the Delaware Chancery Court and any federal or state court sitting in the State
of Delaware to which an appeal from the Delaware Chancery Court may be validly taken (or, if (and only if) the Delaware Chancery
Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the state of Delaware), and each
party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any
such court in each case in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation relating thereto
except in the courts in Delaware described above, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment,
decree or award rendered by any of the courts in Delaware as described above, and no party will file a motion to dismiss any action
filed in a state or federal court in the State of Delaware, on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine
of forum non-conveniens. Upon the filing of any action or proceeding, each party hereto agrees and consents to accept from the
other party hereto service of process and all pleadings, motions, briefs and other related papers in connection with such action
or proceeding. Each party hereto irrevocably agrees that venue would be proper in any of the courts in Delaware described above,
and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection that it may have now or hereafter to the laying of venue of any such action
or proceeding in such courts.

 

    38 

     

    

 

		9.9	Waiver of Jury
                                         Trial.

 

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT
AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND
ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED OR HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO REVIEW THIS WAIVER WITH ITS RESPECTIVE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL
BY THE COURT.

 

		9.10	Further Assurances.

 

Each party hereto shall do and perform,
or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,
instruments, and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

		9.11	Conflicting
                                         Agreements.

 

The Company shall not enter into any agreements
or arrangements of any kind with any Person with respect to any Stockholder Shares on terms inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement (whether or not such agreements or arrangements are with Stockholders or with Persons that are not parties to this
Agreement), including agreements or arrangements with respect to the acquisition or disposition of Stockholder Shares in a manner
which is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Company shall not amend either of the Certificate or the Bylaws on terms inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

    39 

     

    

 

 

		9.12	Third
                                         Party Reliance.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, except as expressly provided in Section 5.8 (Indemnification) or Section 9.15
(Non-Recourse), the covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement (i) are being given by the Company as an inducement
to the Stockholders to enter into this Agreement (and the Company acknowledges that the Stockholders have expressly relied thereon)
and (ii) are solely for the benefit of the Stockholders. Accordingly, except as expressly provided in Section 5.8
(Indemnification) or Section 9.15 (Non-Recourse), no third party (including any holder of capital stock of the
Company) or anyone acting on behalf of any Person other than the Stockholders, shall be a third party or other beneficiary of
such covenants and no such third party shall have any rights of contribution against the Stockholders or the Company with respect
to such covenants or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(b)           None
of the provisions hereof shall create, or be construed or deemed to create, any right to employment in favor of any Person by
the Company.

 

		9.13	Subsidiaries.

 

The
Company agrees to cause all of its Subsidiaries to be bound by, and to comply with the provisions of Section 5.8 (Indemnification)
and this ARTICLE IX. To the extent that (i) the Investors request that any current or future Subsidiary of the
Company become a party to this Agreement or (ii) the Company creates or acquires (by merger or otherwise) a new Subsidiary,
the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to become a party to, to be bound by, and to comply with the provisions of Section 5.8
(Indemnification) and this ARTICLE IX in the same manner as if such entity were an original signatory to this
Agreement.

 

		9.14	Adjustments.

 

All
references in this agreement to Stockholder Shares (or other Securities of the Company or any successor company) and ownership
percentages shall be appropriately adjusted, in the judgment of the Board, for any corporate event or transaction involving the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including a change in the Stockholder Shares or the capitalization of the
Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, distribution, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of Stockholder Shares, exchange of Stockholder Shares, dividend in kind,
amalgamation, or other like change in capital structure, or any similar corporate event or transaction occurring after the date
of this Agreement.

 

		9.15	Non-Recourse.

 

Notwithstanding
anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and each Stockholder covenant, agree and acknowledge
that no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited
partner or member or equity holder of any Stockholder or direct or indirect owner or Affiliate thereof or of any Affiliate, agent
or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any
applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on
or otherwise be incurred by any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member or equity
holder of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate, agent or assignee of any Stockholder (or any of their respective current or future
directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners or members or equity holders or Affiliates, agents or assignees),
as such for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation.

Exhibit A

Joinder Agreement

 

The
undersigned is executing and delivering this Joinder Agreement pursuant to the Hayward Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated
Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of March [●], 2021 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time
to time, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall
have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Stockholders’ Agreement.

 

By
executing and delivering this Joinder Agreement to the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees to become a party to, to be bound
by, and to comply with the provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement in the same manner as if the undersigned were an original
signatory to such agreement.
