obligation or to a loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien in or upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, or give rise to any increased, additional, accelerated, or guaranteed

Effect or affect the Investor in a material and adverse manner, (B) impair in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements, or (C) prevent or materially impede, interfere with,
hinder, or delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

Agreements, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, or the compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Agreements, except for such Governmental Authorizations or such approvals, consents, ratifications, waivers, or other
appropriate authorizations of such other Persons the failure of which to be obtained or made individually or in the aggregate has not had and would not reasonably be expected to (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or affect the Investor in a
material and adverse manner, (ii) impair in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements, or (iii) prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. The Company has obtained effective written waivers of any rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, or other similar rights of any Person that would be

 9 

 
and warranties made by the Investor in Section 5, the offer and sale of the Securities is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The

thereby, and the compliance by the Investor with the provisions of such Transaction Agreements do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of (i) the Investor’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, each as
amended to date, or (ii) any Legal Requirement or Order, in each case applicable to the Investor or any of its properties or assets, other than in the case of clause (ii), any such conflicts, violations, or breaches that individually or in
the aggregate has not had and would not reasonably be expected to (A) effect the Investor in a material and adverse manner, (B) impair in any material respect the ability of the Investor to perform its obligations under the Transaction

 5.4 Exempt Offering. The Investor acknowledges that the Securities have not

Investor set forth in this Section 5.

evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Investor acknowledges that it has had adequate access to Company management, has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Company management, and has been
provided will all documentation and information requested from the Company in connection with its decision to make an investment in the Securities. 
 5.6 Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

 5.7 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted
securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and the Securities may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of unless such transfer, sale, assignment or other disposition is pursuant to the terms of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or sold pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Investor is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act and by the Securities Act. The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Securities sold under this Agreement. 

5.8 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations and warranties of the Investor set
forth above in this Section 5, the Investor shall not make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until it has complied with all requirements related to disposition of the Securities under the Restated
Operating Agreement and: 
 (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or 
 (b) the Investor has
first notified the Company of the proposed disposition and has furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition. 

  
 23 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.8(a) and Section 5.8(b)
above, no such registration statement shall be required for: (a) any transfer of any Securities in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act (it being agreed that the Company shall have the right to receive
evidence satisfactory to it regarding compliance with such rule or any successor or analogous rule prior to the registration of any such transfer) or (b) any transfer of any Securities to an Affiliate of the Investor (including any deemed
transfer by reason of a change of control of the Investor or its Affiliates) in compliance with the terms of the Restated Operating Agreement; provided, that the transferee shall, prior to giving effect to such transfer, agree in writing to be
subject to the terms of this Section 5 to the same extent as if the transferee were the Investor under this Agreement. 
 5.9 Legends. The certificates evidencing the Securities, if any, shall bear the legends set forth below (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

 (a) “THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON
            ,        , HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE

(b) Any other legends required by federal or state securities laws applicable to the Investor. 

The Company shall remove the portion of the legend set forth in Section 5.9(a) relating to restrictions under the Securities
Act and state securities laws from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in
effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer shall not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from
registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities. 
 5.10 No Brokers; No Finder’s Fees. The
Investor has no Contract with any broker, finder, or similar agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would obligate the Investor for any finder’s or broker’s fee or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8. INDEMNIFICATION; COVENANTS AND ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. 

8.1 Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1, the Company shall defend and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, equity holders or the successors and assigns of the foregoing (collectively, the “Investor Indemnified Parties” and each, an “Investor Indemnified
Party”) against and from all Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Investor Indemnified Party, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise directly or indirectly relating to, as a
result of or arising out of: 
 (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by the
Company in this Agreement (other than Company Statutory Representations and Warranties and Company Fundamental Representations and Warranties) or the Exclusive Right to Lease; 

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Company Statutory Representations and Warranties; 

(iii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Company Fundamental Representations and Warranties; or 

(iv) any breach of, or failure by, the Company to comply with any covenant or obligation under this Agreement or the
Exclusive Right to Lease to be performed by the Company or its Affiliates. 

  
 27 

 (b) Indemnification by the Investor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 8.1, the Investor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, equity holders or the successors and assigns of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Company Indemnified Parties” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against and from all Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Company Indemnified Party, whether in respect of Third
Party Claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise directly or indirectly relating to, as a result of or arising out of: 
 (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement (other than Investor Fundamental Representations and Warranties) or the Exclusive Right to Lease;

 (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Investor Fundamental Representations and Warranties; or 

(iii) any breach of, or failure by, the Investor to comply with any covenant or obligation under this Agreement or the
Exclusive Right to Lease to be performed by the Investor or its Affiliates. 
 (c) Certain Indemnification Limitations;
Mitigation and Related Matters. 
 (i) Other than with respect to breaches of Company Fundamental
Representations and Warranties, the Investor Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Section 8.1(a) until the total amount of Losses which the Investor Indemnified Parties would recover under this
Section 8.1 exceeds an aggregate amount equal to $500,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Investor Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Deductible (subject to
Section 8.1(c)(iii)). All materiality qualifications contained in the Company’s representations and warranties made in Section 4 of this Agreement or in the Exclusive Right to Lease, including the term “Material
Adverse Effect”, shall be taken into account under this Section 8 solely for purposes of determining whether a breach or violation has occurred for which an indemnity obligation exists. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, all such qualifications shall be ignored and not given effect for purposes of determining whether the Deductible threshold set forth in this Section 8.1(c)(i) has been surpassed, or the amount of any Damages resulting from any
such breach or violations, after it has been determined that a breach or violation has occurred. 
 (ii) Other
than with respect to breaches of Investor Fundamental Representations and Warranties, the Company Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Sections 8.1(b) until the total amount of Losses which the Company Indemnified
Parties would recover under this Section 8.1 exceeds an aggregate amount equal to the Deductible, in which case the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Damages in excess of the Deductible (subject to Section
8.1(c)(iv)). 
 (iii) The aggregate amount of indemnification that the Investor Indemnified Parties may
receive to satisfy all claims under Section 8.1(a) shall be the Purchase Price. In no event shall any Investor Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Section 8.1 in excess of the Purchase Price.

 (iv) The aggregate amount of indemnification that the Company Indemnified Parties may receive to satisfy all
claims under Section 8.1(b) shall be the Purchase Price. In no event shall any Company Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Section 8.1 in excess of the Purchase Price. 

  
 28 

 (v) The Investor and the Company agree that in the event of any breach
giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Section 8.1, the Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, shall and shall cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and to take all
reasonable measures, requested by such Indemnitor or otherwise, to mitigate the consequences of the related breach. 
 (vi) The Indemnitee shall, at the expense of the Indemnitor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery against third parties, under insurance policies or from collateral sources. In the
event any amounts recovered from any third party or under such insurance policies or other collateral sources are not received before any claim for indemnification is paid pursuant to this Section 8.1, then the amount of such subsequent
recovery shall be applied first, to reimburse the Indemnitee for its out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) expended in pursuing such recovery, and second, refund any payments made by the Indemnitor which
would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment, and third, any excess to the Indemnitee. 
 (vii) The Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnitee in respect of any insurance relating to the Losses to the extent of any indemnification payments made hereunder. Any liability for
indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. 

(d) Notice and Procedures. In the event that any Actions are instituted by a third party or any claim or demand is asserted or
threatened against or sought to be collected from a Person who is seeking indemnity under any provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party, in each case for which the party from whom indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnitor”) may have liability to any Indemnitee hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days, following such Indemnitee’s receipt of a
Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnitor in writing and in reasonable detail, to the extent available, of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days as
may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnitee that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim. The
Claim Notice shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has incurred, or reasonably and in good faith expects to incur, Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) specify in reasonable
detail, to the extent available, the nature of such Third Party Claim and an estimate of the amount of the applicable Losses (if reasonably practicable) to which such Indemnitee reasonably and in good faith believes it may be entitled to hereunder.
Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, promptly following the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court 

  
 29 

 
papers and excluding all internally prepared documents or documents prepared by counsel or other representatives of Indemnitee) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

 (e) Defense of Third Party Claims by Indemnitor. In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee within the
Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnitor shall have the right to defend the Indemnitee by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense,
with counsel of its choosing, at its expense, (ii) the Indemnitor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnitee, prior to the period in which the Indemnitor assumes the
defense of such matter, shall take all reasonable actions to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnitee’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement, and (iv) the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have agreed that it shall indemnify the Indemnitee for all Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim pursuant to and subject to the conditions of this Section 8.1. Once the
Indemnitor has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnitee shall participate in any
such defense at its expense and shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the
reasonable expense of the Indemnitor if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that would make such separate representation advisable; and
provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any Third Party Claim. 
 (f) Defense of Third Party Claims by Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.1(e) to the contrary, if a Third Party Claim seeks relief that would result in the imposition of a
consent order, injunction or decree, in any case that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to contest and defend, and subject to
Section 8.1(h), compromise and settle such Third Party Claim in the first instance; provided that if the Indemnitee does not contest, defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall then have the right to
contest and defend, and subject to Section 8.1(h), settle or compromise such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitee has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing (at the expense of the Indemnitor). If the Indemnitor (i) does not elect to defend the Indemnitee against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnitee
timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take commercially reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days (or
such lesser number of days as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receiving written notice from the Indemnitee to the effect that the Indemnitor has so failed, the Indemnitee shall have the right but not the
obligation to assume such defense and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel of its choosing, at the expense of the Indemnitor. 

  
 30 

 (g) Cooperation. The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall cooperate in the conduct of
the defense of a Third Party Claim, including by retaining records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and
employees. The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing
any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. 
 (h)
Settlement of Third Party Claims. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim. Whether or
not the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third
Party Claim. 
 (i) Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee has a claim against any Indemnitor that does not involve,
or no longer involves, a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver a notice of such claim (a “Direct Claim Notice”) and the amount of the applicable Losses or an estimate of the amount of the applicable Losses (if reasonably
practicable) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such
notice by the Indemnitee whether the Indemnitor disputes the claim described in such notice, the Losses in the amount specified in the Indemnitee’s notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to recover the amount of such Losses from the Indemnitor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1. If the Indemnitor has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnitor and the
Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and the Indemnitor shall not be obligated to make any payment with respect to such claim until such claim has been so resolved by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee or
has been determined in favor of the Indemnitee by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has
been perfected). 
 (j) Treatment of Payments. Any indemnification payments made by the Company under this
Section 8.1 to the Investor, other than indemnification payments made by the Company to reimburse the Investor in respect of payments made by any Investor Indemnified Party in respect of Third Party Claims and any reasonable related
costs and expenses thereto, shall reduce the Unrecovered Investment Balance in accordance with Section 4.5(d)(v) of the Restated Operating Agreement. 

  
 31 

 8.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. 

 (a) The representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements of the Company and the Investor set forth in or made in
connection with this Agreement, and the indemnification obligations of the parties with respect thereto, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing as follows: 

(i) with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3,
4.4 and 4.5 (the “Company Fundamental Representations and Warranties”) and in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (the “Investor Fundamental Representations and Warranties”), such representations and
warranties shall survive indefinitely; 
 (ii) with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 4.16, 4.17, 4.20 and 4.26 (the “Company Statutory Representations and Warranties”), 90 days following expiration of the relevant statute of limitations period; 

(iii) with respect to all other representations and warranties contained in Sections 4 and 5 and not
addressed in (i) or (ii) above, three years following the Closing; 
 (iv) with respect to the
obligations set forth in Section 9.2, indefinitely; and 
 (v) the covenants, agreements and other
obligations contained in this Agreement, and the indemnification obligations of the parties with respect thereto, shall survive until performed in accordance with their terms or become no longer applicable. 

(b) No Indemnitor shall be liable for any Damages with respect to the matters set forth in Section 8.1 unless a claim is
timely asserted prior to the expiration of the survival period specified in this Section 8.2; provided, however, if a notice of a claim is timely given prior to the expiration of the survival period specified in this
Section 8.2 then such indemnification obligation shall continue to survive past expiration of such survival period until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Section 8.1. 

8.3 Use of Proceeds. The Investor acknowledges that the Company intends to distribute all proceeds from the issuance and
sale of the Securities to the Company’s members (as of immediately prior to the Closing) in accordance with the Restated Operating Agreement. 
 8.4 Other Agreements and Covenants. 
 (a) The Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Investor, (i) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of the Investor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., or any or their Affiliates, or any partner or employee of any of them, nor any trade
name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol, or any abbreviation, contraction, or simulation thereof owned by the Investor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., or any of their Affiliates, or (ii) represent, directly or indirectly, that any
product or any service provided by the Company has been approved or endorsed by the Investor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., or any of their Affiliates. 
 (b) The Company hereby grants the Investor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., and their Affiliates permission to use the Company’s name and logo in the Investor’s, Goldman, Sachs &
Co.’s, or their Affiliates’ marketing materials. The Investor, Goldman, Sachs & Co., or 

  
 32 

 
their Affiliates, as applicable, shall include a trademark attribution notice giving notice of the Company’s ownership of its trademarks in the marketing materials in which the
Company’s name and logo appear. 
 8.5 Tax Matters. The Company and its members as of the Closing Date shall
be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Investor for, any and all liability for Taxes with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the ownership or operation of their assets for any taxable period ending on or before
the Closing Date and with respect to any taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”), for the portion thereof ending at the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of any
Straddle Period, liability for income Taxes relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the ownership or operation of their assets shall be allocated as if all of the books and records relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the ownership
and operation of their assets were closed as of the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes other than income Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date
shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of calendar days in the applicable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant period. In the case of ad valorem property Taxes, “taxable
period” means the period beginning on the assessment date for ad valorem property Taxes through the day before the next assessment date for such Taxes. 
 Section 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 9.1 Disclosure
Schedule. Any information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of Section 4 only to the extent that such information is expressly identified by a specific reference to the subsection of
Section 4 to which it applies. 
 9.2 Confidentiality. 

(a) The parties shall maintain the terms of this Agreement in confidence and shall not disclose any information concerning the terms,
performance, or administration of this Agreement to any other Person; provided that a party may disclose such information: (i) to any of such party’s Group, (ii) to any prospective member of such party’s Group, (iii) to any
actual or prospective purchaser of all or a portion of such party’s interest in either of the Facilities or any facility leased pursuant to the Exclusive Right to Lease, and (iv) to any Person providing or evaluating a proposal to provide
financing to the recipient party or any direct or indirect owner of such party; provided in each case that the recipient party shall provide to each Person to which disclosure is made a copy of this Section 9.2 and direct such Person to
treat such information confidentially, and the recipient party shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Section 9.2 by such Persons to which it makes any such disclosure. The foregoing restrictions will not apply (A) to
information that is or becomes generally available to the public otherwise than as a result of disclosure by the recipient party, (B) to information that is already in, or subsequently comes into, the recipient party’s possession, provided
that the source of such information was not, to the recipient party’s knowledge, obligated to keep such information 

  
 33 

 
confidential, (C) to information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Legal Requirements or stock exchange rules and regulations or is otherwise subject to legal, judicial,
regulatory, or self-regulatory requests for information or documents, or (D) subject to Section 9.2(b) below, to the Tax structure or Tax treatment of the transaction. 

(b) Each party may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the
transaction, provided, however, that any such information is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The Tax structure and Tax treatment of the transaction includes only
those facts that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal and state income Tax treatment or Tax structure of the transaction and, to eliminate any doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either
reveals or standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of any parties involved in any of the transactions contemplated by this

 2. Guarantee. 

2.1 Irrevocable Guarantee. 
 (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Guaranteed Party and its successors, permitted indorsees, permitted transferees
and permitted assigns that, upon written demand of payment made by the Guaranteed Party to the Guarantor, all Obligations will be promptly paid in full, in United States dollars, when due in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (after
giving effect to the rights, limitations and obligations set forth in sections 8.1(c)-(j) and 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement). 
 (b) If legal action is instituted to enforce the rights of the Guaranteed Party under this Guarantee, the Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Guaranteed Party on written demand for all reasonable
attorney’s fees and disbursements and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Guaranteed Party in successfully enforcing its rights under this Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have no obligation to
pay any such costs or expenses if, in any action or proceeding brought by the Guaranteed Party giving rise to a demand for payment of such costs or expenses, it is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Guarantor is not
liable to make payment under Section 2.1(a) with respect to the rights of the Guaranteed Party sought to be enforced in such action or proceeding. 
 (c) Each payment under this Guarantee shall be made in United States dollars. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1, the Guarantor’s liability to guarantee any Obligations shall
not exceed the liability of the Company with respect to its Obligations under the terms of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), or any other provisions hereof to the contrary,
(i) the Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations shall not be reduced by the amount of any costs and 

  
 55 

 
expenses recovered or recoverable by the Guaranteed Party under Section 2.1(b), and (ii) if the Company’s liability in respect of the Obligations is reduced due to any
defense described in clauses (1) through (3) of the final paragraph of Section 2.3 hereof, the amount of such reduction shall not reduce the Guarantor’s liability for such Obligations hereunder. 

2.2 No Subrogation. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation or a right of
contribution from the Company under this Guarantee, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all of the Obligations owing by the Company, if any, shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on
account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations owing by the Company shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party to whom such Obligations are
payable and shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Party to be credited and applied to such Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the
Guaranteed Party of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all of the Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full, the Guaranteed Party will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate
documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Guaranteed Party, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment by the Guarantor. 
 2.3 No Effect on Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee
shall not be altered, limited, impaired or otherwise affected by: 
 (a) any rescission of any demand for payment of any of the
Obligations or any failure by the Guaranteed Party to make any such demand on the Company or any other guarantor or to collect any payments from the Company or any other guarantor or any release of the Company or any other guarantor; 

(b) any renewal, extension, modification, amendment, acceleration, compromise, waiver, indulgence, rescission, discharge, surrender or
release, in whole or in part, or any assignment or transfer, of the Purchase Agreement or the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement evidencing, relating to, securing or guaranteeing any of the Obligations, or the liability of any party to
any of the foregoing or for any part thereof; 
 (c) any act or omission of the Guaranteed Party relating in any way to the
Obligations or to the Company, including any failure to bring an action against any party liable on the Obligations, or any party liable on any other guarantee of the Obligations; 

(d) any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement
of the Company or any other guarantor or any defense which the Company or any other guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding; and 

  
 56 

 (e) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk
of the Guarantor or that may or might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, other than (i) the indefeasible payment in full in United States dollars of all the Obligations, and (ii) as set forth in
the next paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be entitled to assert any defense which the Company may have under the
Purchase Agreement to payment of any of its Obligations, other than defenses based upon (i) lack of authority, capacity, legal right or power of the Company to enter into and/or perform its Obligations, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, composition, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, or (iii) the nonexistence, invalid formation, dissolution, merger or termination of the Company. 

2.4 Continuing Guarantee; Termination. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of
payment when due, and not of collection only, and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Guaranteed Party at any time of any right or remedy against the Company or against any other
Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations. 
 2.5 Reinstatement of Guarantee.
This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is avoided, rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Guaranteed Party to
the Company or its representative or to any other guarantor for any reason including as a result of any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding with respect to the Company or the Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made.

 2.6 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Guarantee to the contrary, under no circumstances shall
Guarantor be liable to the Guaranteed Party for special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages with respect to any breach of this Guarantee, other than the payment of attorneys’ fees as is specifically provided for in this Guarantee.
