Each restricted stock unit (a “Unit”) represents the right to receive one Subordinate Voting Share, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the vesting requirements, and the terms of the Plan. The Units are granted under Section 6(c) of the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

  3.Restrictions on Transfer. The Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such attempted transfer shall be void.

   

  4.Forfeiture; Early Vesting. If Participant ceases to perform services for the Company or any Affiliate for any reason other than the Participant's death, whether or not terminated for Cause (as defined below), prior to vesting of the Units pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4 hereof, all of Participant’s rights to all of the unvested Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, except that if within 12 months following a Change 

   

  

   

  in Control (as defined below), the Company terminates the Participant’s service with the Company for reasons other than for Cause, all Units granted hereunder not already forfeited under operation of this Section 4 shall become fully vested with all restrictions lifted, and be issued pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. Upon forfeiture, Participant will no longer have any rights relating to the unvested Units. In the event of the Participant’s death, all of the Units shall immediately vest as of the date of death. For purposes of this Agreement:

   

  (a)“Cause” shall mean a (i) repeated failure to competently and diligently perform duties of Participant’s position with the Company (other than due to physical or mental illness); (ii) conviction of guilty or nolo contendere plea to, a misdemeanor which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any felony; (iii) commission of an act, or a failure to act, that constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct (including without limitation, embezzlement, misappropriation or breach of fiduciary duty resulting or intending to result in personal gain at the expense of the Company or any of its subsidiaries); and (iv) violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations or failure to comply with applicable confidentiality, non solicitation and non competition obligations to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, corporate code of business conduct or other material policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with or during performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that could, in the Board’s opinion, cause material injury to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (v) failure to maintain applicable professional licenses or certifications. In the case of a violation or failure under (i), (iv) or (v), if such violation or failure is curable, such violation or failure shall only constitute “Cause” if it is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to the Participant; and

   

  (b)“Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:

   

  i.the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Business Combination”): (a) the sale of more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities of the Company in a single transaction or in a series of transactions occurring during a period of not more than twelve months; (b) the Company is merged, amalgamated or consolidated with another corporation; or (c) a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, unless, following any of the foregoing Business Combinations in (a) through (c) above, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own immediately after the transaction or transactions, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities (or comparable interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more Affiliates) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company’s voting securities immediately prior to such Business Combination; or

  ii.in any twelve (12) month period, the individuals who, as of the beginning of the 12-month period, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election or appointment, or nomination for election by Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors.

   

  (c)Notwithstanding the foregoing Change in Control definition or any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan, the term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.

   

  5.Miscellaneous.

   

  (a)Issuance of Shares. As soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s vesting date under Section 2 or Section 4 hereof, as applicable, and the Participant’s satisfaction of any required Withholding Obligations (but in no event later than 60 days following the vesting date), the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing Shares registered in the name of the Participant (or in the name of the Participant’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be) or to instruct the Company’s transfer agent to electronically deliver such shares to the respective Participant. The number of Shares issued shall equal the number of Units vested, reduced as necessary to cover applicable withholding obligations in accordance with Section 5(c) hereof. If it is administratively impracticable to issue Shares within the time frame described above because issuances of Shares are prohibited or restricted pursuant to the policies of the Company that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules, then such issuance shall be delayed until such prohibitions or restrictions lapse.

   

  (b)Rights as Shareholder. Units are not actual Shares, but rather, represent a right to receive Shares according to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the terms of the Plan. Accordingly, the issuance of a Unit shall not entitle the Participant to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders unless and until a Share is actually issued under Section 5(a) hereof and the Shares in question have been registered in the Company’s register of shareholders.

   

  (c)Taxes. The Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the applicable federal, state, local or foreign employment, social insurance, payroll, income or other tax withholding obligations (the “Withholding Obligations”) that arise in connection with this Agreement. The Company may establish procedures to ensure 

   

  Last Updated:  April 2022

  

   

  satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Obligations arising in connection with this Agreement, including any means permitted in Section 8 of the Plan. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, at its sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable law, to satisfy any such Tax Obligations by (1) withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise to be issued in payment of the Units having a value equal to the amount of Withholding Obligation in accordance with such rules as the Company may from time to time establish; (2) withholding from the wages and other cash compensation payable to the Participant or by causing the Participant to tender a cash payment or other Shares to the Company; or (3) selling on the Participant’s behalf (using any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose) a portion of the Shares issued in payment of the Units as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Withholding Obligations. The Participant shall be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale, and the Participant further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale. The Company may refuse to deliver Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Obligations described in this paragraph. The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or its applicable Affiliate, any amount of Withholding Obligations that the Company or its applicable Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Agreement. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares, cash or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Obligations.

   

  (d)Subject to Plan. This Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, but the terms of the Plan shall not be considered an enlargement of any benefits under this Agreement. In addition, this Award is subject to the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Plan, now or hereafter in effect. Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

   

  (e)No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement shall not confer on the Participant any right with respect to continuance of service to the Company, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service at any time.

   

  (f)Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and the Agreement, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and the Agreement, shall be determined in accordance with the internal laws, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware.

  (g)Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or the Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

   

  (h)No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor the Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and Participant or any other person.

  (i)Section 409A Provisions. The payment of Shares under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the application of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Section 409A”) by reason of the short-term deferral exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit hereunder that constitutes “deferred compensation” to the Participant under section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to the Participant under the Plan or this Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s Disability or termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise (including, but not limited to, a payment made pursuant to an involuntary separation arrangement that is exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception). Any payment or distribution that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code on account of separation from service may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the specified employee’s separation from service (or if earlier, upon the specified employee’s death) unless the payment or distribution is exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short term deferral exemption or otherwise.

   

  (j)Insider Trading / Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading as in effect at any given time. The Participant further acknowledges that the Participant may be subject to local insider trading and/or market abuse laws and regulations that are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Participant should consult the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.

   

  (k)Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver by electronic means any documents related to the Units or the Participant’s future participation in the Plan. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. To the extent that this Agreement is manually signed, instead of electronically accepted by the Participant (if permitted by the Company), it may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

   

  (l)Legend on Certificates. Any Shares issued or transferred to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee thereof may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the U.S. Securities 

   

  Last Updated:  April 2022

  

   

  and Exchange Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission, or any other applicable regulator, or any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, any applicable Canadian Federal or provincial, or U.S. Federal or state laws or relevant securities laws of the jurisdiction of the domicile of the Participant or to ensure compliance with any additional transfer restrictions that may be in effect from time to time, and the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee thereof may cause a legend or legends to be put on any certificates representing such Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

   

  (m)Rule 16b-3. If the Participant has been designated by the Company’s Board of Directors as a “Section 16 Officer” as of the Date of Grant, the grant of the Units to the Participant hereunder is intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

   

  (n)Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Agreement or any provision thereof.

   

   

   

  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Participant have executed this Agreement on the date set forth in the first paragraph.

Commitment Letter

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

MaxLinear, Inc.
(“you” or the “Borrower”) has advised Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“WF Bank”)
and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WF Securities”, and together with WF Bank and each Additional Agent appointed
pursuant to Section 1 below, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”)
that you intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”) an entity identified to us as “Shark” (the
 “Target”; the Target collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Acquired Business”).
The Acquisition will be effected by way of a merger of a newly-formed exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the
Law of the Cayman Islands wholly-owned by the Borrower (“Merger Sub”) with and into the Target, with the Target
continuing as your direct wholly owned subsidiary (the date of consummation of the Acquisition, the “Acquisition Closing
Date”). The consideration for the Acquisition shall be comprised of (i) the issuance by the Borrower of shares of
its common stock (the “Equity Consideration”) and (ii) cash (the “Cash Consideration”).
The Borrower, the Acquired Business and their respective subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Companies”.

 

You have also advised us that in connection with
the Acquisition you intend to obtain senior secured credit facilities comprised of (i) a senior secured term B loan facility in
an aggregate principal amount of $3,250 million (the “Term B Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured
revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”
and, together with the Term B Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Acquisition, the
Refinancing (as defined in Annex II), the funding of the Term B Loan Facility, the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit
Facility and all related transactions (including the payment of fees and expenses in connection therewith) are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Transactions”. The date of the consummation of the Acquisition and initial funding of the
Senior Secured Credit Facilities is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

 

     

     

    

 

1.            Commitments.
In connection with the foregoing, (a) WF Bank is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the principal amount
of each of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (in such capacity and together with each Additional Agent appointed as set forth below,
the “Initial Lender”), subject only to the conditions set forth in paragraph 5 hereto; and (b) WF Securities
is pleased to advise you of its willingness, and you hereby engage WF Securities to act as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunning manager
(in such capacities, and together with each Additional Agent appointed as a Lead Arranger as set forth below, the “Lead Arrangers”)
for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and in connection therewith to form a syndicate of lenders for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
(collectively, the “Lenders”), in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you. It is understood
and agreed that (x) WF Securities shall have “top left” placement in any listing of the Lead Arrangers and (y) WF
Bank shall act as administrative agent for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the commitments of the Initial Lender with respect to the initial funding
of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be subject only to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Initial Lender) of the conditions
precedent set forth in paragraph 5 hereof. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as
specified therefor in Annex I (the “Summary of Terms”).

 

You agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers
or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated
by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid to any Lender expressly in order to obtain its commitment
to participate in any of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree; provided that at any time within
ten (10) business days after the date hereof, you may appoint up to three (3) additional co-managers, agents, co-agents, arrangers,
joint bookrunners or confer other titles in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (each such party, an “Additional
Agent”) and may allocate up to 40% in the aggregate of the commitments of the Initial Lender party hereto as of the date
hereof with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with compensatory economics to such Additional Agents in connection with
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (on a ratable basis across the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) (and thereafter, such financial
institution shall constitute a “Commitment Party” and “Initial Lender” hereunder). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the commitments of, and economics allocated to, the Initial Lender party hereto as of the date hereof with respect to
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be permanently reduced by the amount of the commitments of, and economics allocated to, such
Additional Agents (or their designated affiliates) in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, provided that in no event
shall the commitment of, and economics payable to, any Additional Agent exceed the commitment of, and economics payable to, the Initial
Lender party hereto on the date hereof.

 

    	 	-2-	 

     

    

 

2.            Syndication.
The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities promptly after your acceptance of the terms
of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter; provided that the Initial Lender will not syndicate to (i) those persons identified
by you by name in writing to us prior to the date hereof or (ii) competitors of the Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or the Acquired
Business that are identified by you by name in writing prior to the date hereof (such persons, together with any person that is clearly
identifiable as an affiliate of such person on the basis of its name, collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”);
provided, further, that the Borrower, upon reasonable written notice to the Lead Arranger after the date hereof (or, after
the Closing Date, the applicable Administrative Agent), shall be permitted to supplement in writing the list of persons that are Disqualified
Institutions to the extent such supplemented person is or becomes a bona fide competitor of the Borrower, its subsidiaries and/or the
Acquired Business; provided however, that such supplementation shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have
previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in any loans under the Facilities; and provided, further, that
a competitor or an affiliate of a competitor shall not include any bona fide debt fund or investment vehicle (other than a person which
is excluded pursuant to clause (i) above). Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein,
it is understood that the Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments
or participations in respect of, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion
of syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
on the Closing Date. You agree, until the Syndication Date (as hereinafter defined), to actively assist, and, to the extent provided
for in the Acquisition Agreement, to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to actively assist, the
Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers
and you; provided that, notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and
receive commitments with respect thereto, it is agreed that (i) syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect
of, all or any portion of an Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder prior to the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and
the date of the initial funding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall not be a condition to such Initial Lender’s commitments
and (ii) (a) except as you in your sole discretion may otherwise agree in writing, the Initial Lender shall not be relieved,
released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing
Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, including its commitments
in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities has occurred; (b) no assignment or novation
shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of the Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Senior Secured
Credit Facilities until after the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; and (c) the Initial Lender shall retain
exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities,
including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred
and the initial funding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities has been made. Such assistance shall include (a) your providing
and (subject to customary non-reliance agreements) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors to provide, and, to the
extent provided for in the Acquisition Agreement, using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries
and its advisors to provide, the Lead Arrangers upon request with all customary and reasonably available information reasonably deemed
necessary by the Lead Arrangers to complete such syndication, including, but not limited to (x) customary and reasonably available
information relating to the Transactions as may be reasonably requested by us (including the Projections (as hereinafter defined)) and
(y) customary forecasts prepared by management of the Borrower of balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements for
each fiscal quarter for the first twelve months following the Closing Date and for each year commencing with the first fiscal year following
the Closing Date and for each of the succeeding fiscal years thereafter through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026; (b) your
assistance in the preparation of a customary information memorandum with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (an “Information
Memorandum”) and other customary materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
(collectively with the Summary of Terms and any additional summary of terms prepared for distribution to Lenders, the “Information
Materials”); (c) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arrangers
benefit from your existing lending relationships, if any, and, to the extent provided for in the Acquisition Agreement, the existing
banking relationships of the Acquired Business; (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the launch of
syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, monitored public corporate credit or family ratings (but not any specific rating)
for you after giving effect to the Transactions and ratings of each of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities from Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a Standard &
Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (“S&P”) (collectively, the “Ratings”);
(e) until the later of the Syndication Date and the Closing Date, your ensuring, and with respect to the Acquired Business, using
your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure, to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, that none of the Companies
shall syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, or announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of,
any debt securities or credit facilities of the Companies (other than the Senior Secured Credit Facilities), in each case, that would
materially and adversely affect the primary syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities without the prior written consent (not
to be unreasonably withheld) of the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that any debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, including
corporate credit cards, borrowings under ordinary course short term working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, intercompany
indebtedness, purchase money and equipment financings of any of the Companies, other indebtedness of the Acquired Business permitted
to be outstanding or issued under the Acquisition Agreement shall be permitted, and other indebtedness that has been consented to by
the Lead Arranger); and (f) your making appropriate officers of you, and, to the extent provided for in the Acquisition Agreement,
using your commercially reasonable efforts to make the appropriate officers of the Acquired Business, available from time to time upon
reasonable advance notice to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Companies and the Transactions
at a reasonable number of meetings of prospective Lenders at mutually agreed upon times and locations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing
of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) neither the obtaining of the Ratings referenced above nor the compliance with any of the
other provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute
a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and (ii) the
only projections or pro forma or other financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arranger in connection
with the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to clause (v) of Annex
II hereto. Your obligations under the Commitment Letter and Fee Letter to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business
or its management to take (or to refrain from taking) any action will not require you to take any action that is in contravention of,
or terminate, the terms of the Acquisition Agreement.

 

    	 	-3-	 

     

    

 

It
is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Senior Secured
Credit Facilities in consultation with you, including any titles offered to prospective Lenders (subject to your consent rights set forth
herein and your rights of appointment set forth in Section 1), when commitments will be accepted, the final allocations of the commitments
among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders. It is further understood that the Initial Lender’s
commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities constitute
a condition to the availability of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.

 

3.            Information
Requirements. You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written factual information (other than Projections (as defined
below), budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information or information of a general economic or industry nature) that has been
or is hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection
with any aspect of the Transactions (including, prior to the Closing Date, such information, to your knowledge, relating to the Acquired
Business) (the “Information”), together with your filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is and
will be correct when taken as a whole, in all material respects, and does not and will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement
of a fact or omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not materially misleading (in each case, after giving effect to all supplements and updates with respect thereto) and (b) all
financial projections concerning the Companies that have been or are hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders
by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives (the “Projections”) (prior to the Closing Date, to your
knowledge, in the case of Projections provided by the Acquired Business) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions
believed by you to be reasonable at the time provided (it being understood and agreed that the Projections are as to future events and
are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of performance or achievement, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties
and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized
and that actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material). You agree that if at any time prior to
the later of (a) the earlier of (i) the date on which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and
(ii) 45 days following the Closing Date (the earlier of such dates, the “Syndication Date”) and (b) the
Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if
the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly
supplement, or cause to be supplemented (or in the case of Information or Projections relating to the Acquired Business, you will promptly
notify the Lead Arrangers upon becoming aware that any such Information or Projections are incorrect in any material respect and, to
the extent provided for in the Acquisition Agreement, will use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement), the Information and Projections
so that such representations (prior to the Closing Date, to your knowledge, in the case of the Acquired Business) will be correct in
all material respects at such time, it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representation
and warranty. In issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, each Commitment Party

You acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers,
on your behalf will make available, on a confidential basis, Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting
the Information Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all other Lenders, “Private Lenders”)
may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal and state
securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect to the Companies, their respective affiliates or any other entity, or
the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect
to such entities’ securities. If reasonably requested, you will assist the Lead Arrangers in preparing an additional version of
the Information Materials not containing MNPI (the “Public Information Materials”) to be distributed to prospective
Public Lenders.

 

Before
distribution of any Information Materials (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review
a reasonable period of time prior thereto and appropriate revisions thereto have been made at your request) (a) to prospective Private
Lenders, you shall provide the Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Information Materials; and
(b) to prospective Public Lenders, you shall provide the Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of
the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom and, in each case, which exculpate the Companies and us
and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of the Information Materials or related marketing
materials by the recipients thereof. In addition, you hereby agree that (x) you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify
(and, at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers or the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates), shall identify) that portion of
the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders; (y) all Information Materials identified as “PUBLIC”
by you or on your behalf are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”;
and (z) the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and its affiliates) shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials
that are not identified as “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor”.

 

You
agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative
Agent (and its affiliates) on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead
Arrangers and Administrative Agent in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that
such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders (provided that such materials have been provided to you
and your counsel for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such
as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b) notifications of changes to the terms of the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities and (c) drafts approved in writing by you and the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates) and final versions
of definitive documents with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. If you advise the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative
Agent that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent
will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without your prior consent. You agree that Information Materials made available
to prospective Public Lenders in accordance with this Commitment Letter shall not contain MNPI.

Indemnities; Limitation of Liability.

 

(a)            You
agree to reimburse the Commitment Parties from time to time upon receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor for all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (in the case of fees and expenses of counsel, limited to the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses of (x) one firm of lead counsel to the Commitment Parties (it
being understood and agreed that Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP shall act as counsel
to the Commitment Parties) and (y) one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction reasonably retained by the Administrative
Agent) incurred in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the syndication thereof, the preparation of the Credit Documentation
(as defined below) therefor and the other Transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the Closing Date occurs or any of the Credit
Documentation is executed and delivered or any extensions of credit are made under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; provided,
that if the Closing Date does not occur and no termination fee is paid to you pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the aggregate reimbursement
by you of such fees and expenses shall not exceed $250,000. Such amounts shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the Closing Date or
(ii) three (3) business days following the termination of this Commitment Letter as provided below (the “Payment
Date”), in each case to the extent you have received a reasonably detailed invoice at least three (3) business days
in advance of the Payment Date. You agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the separate fee letter addressed to you
dated the date hereof from the Commitment Parties (the “Fee Letter”), if and to the extent payable.

 

(b)            You
also agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties, each other Lender and each of their affiliates, successors
and assigns and their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, trustees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and other
representatives involved in the Transactions (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse
each Indemnified Party within 30 days following written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up therefor)) any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented
fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole and, if necessary, by
a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple
jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party
affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, by another firm of counsel
for all such affected Indemnified Parties)) of amounts payable by you pursuant to clause (a) above) that may be incurred by
or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without
limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any
aspect of the Transactions or (b) the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds
thereof, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (A) is found in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s or any of its Related Parties’
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, (B) arises from a material breach of such Indemnified Party’s or any of
its Related Parties’ obligations hereunder, (C) arises from a proceeding by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnified Party
(or any of their respective affiliates or related parties) (other than an action involving (i) conduct by you or any of your affiliates
or (ii) against an arranger or administrative agent in its capacity as such) or (D) resulted from any agreement governing any
settlement by such Indemnified Party that is effective without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
In the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to
which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by you, your
equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or
not any aspect of the Transactions are consummated. It is agreed that none of you (or any of your subsidiaries), the Target (or any of
its subsidiaries) or any Indemnified Party shall be liable (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified
Party to a third party) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits,
business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or with respect to any activities related
to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation;
provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations set forth above.

 

    	 	-6-	 

     

    

 

(c)            It
is further agreed that the Commitment Parties shall only have liability to you (as opposed to any other person), and that the Commitment
Parties shall be severally liable solely in respect of their respective commitments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and
agreements set forth herein, on a several, and not joint, basis with any other Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment
Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained
through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified
Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless (i) such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does
not include any statement as to any admission of liability. In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Party for
which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party will promptly notify you of the
commencement of any Proceedings. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding affected without your written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

(d)            “Related
Parties” means, with respect to the any Commitment Party, such Commitment Party’s affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and representatives, in each case, providing services in connection with the subject
matter of this Commitment Letter. The foregoing provisions in paragraphs 4(b) and (c) shall be superseded in each case, to
the extent covered thereby, by the applicable provisions contained in the Credit Documentation upon execution thereof and thereafter
shall have no further force and effect.

 

5.            Conditions
to Financing. The commitment of the Initial Lender with respect to the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is
subject solely to (a) the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lead Arrangers) of each of the conditions set forth in Annex II
hereto and (b) the execution and delivery of customary definitive credit documentation by the Borrower and the Guarantors with
respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities consistent with this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and subject in all respects
to the Limited Conditionality Provisions and giving effect to the Bank Documentation Standard (as defined in Annex I), in
the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Credit Documentation”) prior to such initial funding.
There are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, and there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under
the Credit Documentation to the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, other than those that are
expressly referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding
anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Credit Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning
the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that the terms thereof do
not impair availability of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions in this paragraph 5
shall have been satisfied or waived by the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that to the extent any security interest in Collateral
(including the creation or perfection of any security interest) (other than any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected
by the filing of a UCC financing statement or the delivery of certificates, if any, evidencing equity interests of any subsidiary Guarantors
(after giving effect to the Acquisition) that is part of the Collateral; provided that stock or membership interest certificates
for certificated stock for the entities comprising subsidiaries of the Target (to the extent required under the terms of Annex II
hereto) will, to the extent you have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain them, only be required to be delivered on the Closing
Date to the extent received from the holders thereof prior to the Closing Date)) is not perfected or provided on the Closing Date after
your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense, the provision and perfection of such Collateral
and security interest shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Closing
Date but shall be required to be perfected not later than 90 days (subject to extensions as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent)
after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Borrower and Administrative Agent), and (b) the only
representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
on the Closing Date shall be (x) such of the representations made by the Target in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to
the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or any of your affiliates that is a party to the Acquisition Agreement)
have the right (taking into account any applicable notice and cure provisions) to terminate your (and/or its) obligations under the Acquisition
Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) of the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to Section 6.3(a) of
the Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement (to such extent, the “Acquisition
Agreement Representations”) and (y) the Specified Representations (as defined below). “Specified Representations”
shall mean the representations and warranties of the Borrower and Guarantors (after giving effect to the Acquisition) in the Credit Documentation
relating to: (i) (A) corporate existence of the Borrower and the Guarantors and (B) corporate power and authority to enter
into the Credit Documentation by the Borrower and the Guarantors, (ii) due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability
of the Credit Documentation by the Borrower and the Guarantors, (iii) no conflicts of the Credit Documentation with charter documents
of the Borrower and the Guarantors, (iv) compliance with Federal Reserve margin regulations, the PATRIOT Act and the use of proceeds
of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities not violating OFAC, AML and FCPA, (v) the Investment Company Act, (vi) solvency of
the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and on a pro forma basis for the Transactions (such representations to be substantially
identical to those set forth in the Solvency Certificate attached as Annex III to the Commitment Letter (the “Solvency
Certificate”)), and (vii) subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph, the provision of guarantees and
the creation, validity and perfection of the security interests granted in the Collateral. The provisions of this paragraph are referred
to herein as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions”.

 

Each
of the parties hereto agrees that each of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement (subject to
the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’
rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law)) with respect to the subject
matter contained herein, including an agreement to negotiate in good faith the Credit Documentation by the parties hereto in a manner
consistent with this Commitment Letter and, to the extent applicable, the Fee Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the initial
funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject only to the conditions precedent as set forth in this paragraph 5.
For clarity, all terms referenced herein to being defined in the Credit Documentation shall be defined in accordance with the Bank Documentation
Standard (unless otherwise provided for herein).

hereby and thereby and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in any such court. The parties hereto agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed

venue of any such suit, action or proceedings brought in any such court, and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Commitment Letter to which this Annex I is attached.

	Guarantors:	 	The obligations of the Borrower (the “Borrower Obligations”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
(as hereinafter defined) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis (the “Guarantees”)
by each of the Borrower’s wholly-owned restricted U.S. subsidiaries (and consistent with the principles set forth herein) (collectively,
the “Guarantors”); provided that Guarantors shall not include any Excluded Subsidiary (subject to the
Bank Documentation Standard, as defined in Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement). In addition, the Bank Credit Documentation (as
defined below) will contain customary carve outs for “non-ECP Guarantors”, consistent with the LSTA provisions. All guarantees
will be guarantees of payment and not of collection. The Target and its subsidiaries included in the Acquired Business that are not excluded
from the foregoing requirements pursuant to the terms described above shall be required to become Guarantors (and grant liens in their
assets constituting Collateral that can be perfected by filing UCC financing statements) on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is understood and agreed that neither the Target nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to be Guarantors until the Acquisition
is consummated on the Acquisition Closing Date.
	 	 	 
	Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:	 	Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as sole and exclusive administrative and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).
	 	 	 
	Lead Arranger and Bookrunner:	 	Wells Fargo Securities, LLC will act as sole lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (in such capacities, the “Lead Arrangers”).
	 	 	 
	Lenders:	 	Banks, financial institutions and institutional lenders selected by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with and reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower and, after the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Assignments
and Participations section below (the “Lenders”).
	 	 	 
	Type and Amount:	 	Term B Loan Facility: A senior secured first lien term loan B facility (the “Term B Loan Facility”, and the loans thereunder, the “Term B Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,250 million.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Revolving Credit Facility: A five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in US dollars (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term B Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”; the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Revolving Commitments”) in the initial amount of $250 million (the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Credit Loans” and, together with the Term B Loans, the “Loans”). The entirety of the Revolving Commitments will be available for borrowing in Base Rate on a “same-day notice” basis.

 

    Annex I-1

    

    

 

	Letters of Credit:	 	A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of an amount to be agreed shall be available for the issuance of letters of credit in US dollars (the “Letters of Credit”) by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender as of the Closing Date (in such capacity, each an “Issuing Lender”); provided that no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue trade or commercial Letters of Credit without its consent. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (a) one year after the date of issuance unless consented to by the Issuing Lender and (b) five business days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above). Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender will be subject to the policies and procedures applicable to such Issuing Lender.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) within one business day after receipt of notice of drawing. To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender, the Revolving Lenders shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to fund participations in the reimbursement obligations on a pro rata basis.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Bank Credit Documentation will include customary provisions to protect the Issuing Lenders in the event any Revolver Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility is a Defaulting Lender.
	 	 	 
	Purpose: 	 	 Term B Loan Facility: The proceeds of borrowings under the Term B Loan Facility and cash on the balance sheet of the Companies and other available sources, shall be used (i) to finance the Cash Consideration for the Acquisition, the Refinancing and the other Transactions and (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Revolving Credit Facility: The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans may be used (a) on the Closing Date (i) to fund any upfront fees or OID required to be funded in connection with the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter (ii) to fund working capital and other expenses related to the Transactions in an aggregate amount under this clause (ii) not to exceed $25.0 million and (b) after the Closing Date to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, the payment of transaction fees and expenses (in each case, including in connection with the Acquisition), other investments, restricted payments and any other purpose not prohibited by the Bank Credit Documentation).

    Annex I-3

    

    

 

		 	“Adjusted Term SOFR” means, for purposes
of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the Term SOFR Adjustment; provided
that if Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor.

 

“Base Rate” will be defined consistent
with the Bank Documentation Standard; provided that the Base Rate will be deemed to be not less than 100 basis points higher than
one-month SOFR (after giving effect to the Floor).

 

“Floor” means a rate of interest
equal to 0.00%, in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or 0.50%, in respect of the Term B Facility.

 

“SOFR” means a rate equal to the
secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator.

 

“Term SOFR” means,

 

(a) for any calculation with respect to a SOFR Loan, the
Term SOFR Reference Rate for a tenor comparable to the applicable Interest Period on the day (such day, the “Periodic Term
SOFR Determination Day”) that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest
Period, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator; provided, however, that if as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on any Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR
Administrator and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate has not occurred, then Term SOFR will be the
Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding U.S. Government Securities
Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first
preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such
Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day, and

 

(b) for any calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan
on any day, the Term SOFR Reference Rate for a tenor of one month on the day (such day, the “Base Rate Term SOFR Determination
Day”) that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day, as such rate is published by the
Term SOFR Administrator; provided, however, that if as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Base Rate Term SOFR Determination
Day, the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR Administrator and a Benchmark Replacement
Date with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate has not occurred, then Term SOFR will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor
as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference
Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day
is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Base Rate Term SOFR Determination Day.

 

 

    Annex I-4

	One month	 	 	0.10	%
	Three months	 	 	0.15	%
	Six months	 	 	0.25	%

 

	 	 	“Term SOFR Administrator” means CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) (or a successor administrator of the Term SOFR Reference Rate selected by Agent in its reasonable discretion).
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Term SOFR Reference Rate” means the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR.
	 	 	 
	 	 	“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for (i) a Saturday, (ii) a Sunday or (iii) a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, or any successor thereto, recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in United States government securities.
	 	 	 
	 	 	During the continuance of an event of default for non-payment of principal, interest or fees, interest will accrue on such overdue principal, interest or fees at the Default Rate (as defined below). During the continuance of a bankruptcy event of default, the principal amount of all outstanding obligations will bear interest at the Default Rate. As used herein, “Default Rate” means (i) on the principal of any loan at a rate of 200 basis points in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such loan and (ii) on any other overdue amount at a rate of 200 basis points in excess of the non-default rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate loans.

 

    Annex I-5

    

    

 

	Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Fees:	 	The Borrower shall pay 0.25% per annum on the average daily undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, payable quarterly in arrears after the Closing Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and calculated on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year; provided that following delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, such commitment fee shall be determined by reference to the Secured Leverage Ratios in the table below:

	 	 	A fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears to the Issuing Lender for its own account.
	 	 	 
	Calculation of Interest:	 	Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Base Rate (which shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366 day year), all calculations of interest shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.

	Incremental Facilities:	 	The Bank Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower to (a) add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Term B Loan Facility or to increase the existing Term B Loan Facility (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) (including incremental Term A Loan Facilities (as defined in the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement)) and/or (b) increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with the Incremental Term Facility, the “Incremental Facilities” and each, an “Incremental Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to (x) the greater of (i) $670 million and (ii) 100.0% of LTM EBITDA, plus (y) all voluntary prepayments of Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or Incremental Facilities or Incremental Equivalent Debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) made prior to the date of, or contemporaneously with, any such Incremental Facility, provided that with respect to voluntary prepayments of revolving loans, only to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the revolving commitments made prior to such date of incurrence, and in each case not funded with proceeds of long-term debt, plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, in the case of clause (z) only, on a pro forma basis the First Lien Leverage Ratio would not exceed either (I) the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date or (II) at the Borrower’s option, the First Lien Leverage Ratio in effect immediately prior to such incurrence, in each case, after giving effect to any acquisition consummated in connection therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments (calculated assuming the entire amount of such Incremental Facility was fully drawn on such date) (it being understood that (a) the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under clause (z) (to the extent compliant therewith) prior to utilization of amounts under clause (x) or (y) and the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under clause (y) prior to utilization of amounts under clause (x) and (b) the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) shall be subject in all respects to the Stacking and Reclassification Provisions (as hereinafter defined)); provided that (i) no Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility, (ii) subject to customary limited conditionality provisions in connection with any Incremental Term Facility incurred to finance a permitted acquisition, investment, irrevocable restricted payment or similar transaction, no event of default or default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, (iii) subject to customary limited conditionality provisions in connection with any Incremental Term Facility incurred to finance a permitted acquisition, investment, irrevocable restricted payment or similar transaction, the representations and warranties in the Bank Credit Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility (other than an Incremental Term A Facility) shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the Term B Loan Facility; provided that the Borrower may incur Incremental Term Facilities with a final maturity date prior to the final maturity date for the Term B Loan Facility and/or with a weighted average lift to maturity shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount (together with any other Permitted Inside Maturity Debt) not to exceed the greater of (x) $340 million and (y) 50.0% of LTM EBITDA (“Permitted Inside Maturity Debt”), (v) the weighted average life to maturity
of any Incremental Term Facility (other than an Incremental Term A Facility and any Permitted Inside Maturity Debt) shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loan Facility and each Incremental Term Facility will share ratably (or less than ratably if agreed by the lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Facility) in any mandatory prepayments in the manner described below, (vi) the interest margins for any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Facility; provided that in the event that the All-in-Yield (subject to the Bank Documentation Standard, as defined in the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement) for any Incremental Term Facility (other than (x) any Incremental Term A Facility, (y) any Incremental Term Facility that matures more than 2 years after the maturity date with respect to the Term B Loan Facility or (z) any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Term Facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of (1) $340 million and (2) 50.0% of LTM EBITDA) incurred within twelve months after the Closing Date are greater than the All-in-Yield for the Term B Loan Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Term B Loan Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-in-Yield for the Incremental Term Facility are not more than 50 basis points higher than the All-in-Yield for the Term B Loan Facility (such adjustment, the “MFN Adjustment”); provided, further, that in determining the interest margins applicable to the Term B Loan Facility and the Applicable Margins for any Incremental Term Facility, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower for the account of the Lenders of the Term B Loan Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement, structuring, underwriting, amendment or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers shall be excluded, and (z) if the Adjusted Term SOFR or Base Rate floor for any Incremental Term Facility is greater than the Adjusted Term SOFR or Base Rate floor, respectively, for the existing Term B Loan Facility, such difference shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest margin under the Initial Term Loan Facility shall be required, solely to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Initial Term Loan Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Initial Term Loan Facility shall be increased by such increased amount, (vii) each Incremental Facility shall be secured by pari passu liens on the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) securing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and no other assets and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and no other persons and (viii) any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term B Loan Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, as applicable), they shall (A) at the option of Borrower, (1) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), or (2) not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), when taken as a whole, than the terms applicable to then outstanding Loans under the Term B Loan Facility (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the
latest final scheduled maturity date of the initial Term B Loan Facility), or (B) if neither of the requirements in clause (A) are satisfied, otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided further that any Incremental Term A Facility may include covenants, events of default and other terms and conditions that are more restrictive to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries than the terms applicable to the Term B Loan Facility, solely for the benefit of the Lenders under such Incremental Term A Facility and (ix) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on same terms (other than upfront fees and any arrangement or similar fees payable in connection with such Incremental Revolving Facility) and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Facility, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and fees (other than any upfront fees and any arrangement or similar fees payable in connection with such Incremental Revolving Facility) on the Existing Revolving Credit Facility may be increased. The Borrower may seek commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility from existing Lenders or from additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and to the extent the Administrative Agent would have a consent right on an assignment to such new lender, such new lender shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed).

An assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 will be charged with respect to each assignment unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loans or commitments shall be assigned or participated to (x) the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (except as permitted below) or (y) any natural person.
	 	 	 
	 	 	In addition, loans under the Term B Loan Facility may be purchased by and assigned to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis on terms and conditions (subject to the Bank Documentation Standard) substantially the same as those set forth in the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement.
	 	 	 
	Waivers and Amendments:	 	Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the Bank Credit Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the extensions of credit and unused commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Required Lenders”), except that (a) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby will also be required with respect to (i) increases to the commitment amount of such Lender, (ii) reductions of principal, interest, or fees payable to such Lender (other than waivers of default interest, a default or event of default or mandatory prepayment); (iii) extensions of scheduled maturities or times for payment of amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood and agreed that the amendment or waiver of any mandatory prepayment, waiver of default interest, default or event of default shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders), (iv) amendments that have the effect of subordinating the payment obligations or the lien securing the Collateral, in respect of obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and (v) changes in certain pro rata provisions and the waterfall from enforcement and (b) the consent of each Lender shall be required with respect to (i) releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral or the release of all or substantially all of the value of any guarantees (other than in connection with permitted asset sales, dispositions, mergers, liquidations or dissolutions or as otherwise permitted under the Bank Credit Documentation) and (ii) the percentage contained in the definition of Required Lenders or other voting percentages.

  

    Annex I-21

    

    

 

		 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, only Lenders holding at least a majority of the Revolving Credit Facility shall have the ability to (and be required in order to) amend the Financial Covenant and waive a breach of the Financial Covenant or any condition to the extension of credit under the Revolving Facility.
	 	 	 
		 	In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (but the consent of the Required Lenders or Lenders holding more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected facility, as applicable, is obtained) (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its option and at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to customary restrictions on assignment), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Bank Credit Documentation to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then due and owing to it under the Bank Credit Documentation (at the option of the Borrower, with respect to the class or classes of loans or commitments subject to such Proposed Change) 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). The Bank Credit Documentation shall contain other customary “yank-a-bank” provisions.
	 	 	 
	Indemnification:	 	 Subject in all respects to the Bank Documentation Standard, substantially the same as the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement.
	 	 	 
	Governing Law:	 	New York.
	 	 	 
	Expenses:	 	Subject in all respects to the Bank Documentation Standard, substantially the same as the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement.

                                            New York jurisdiction. The Bank Credit Documentation shall contain provisions for replacing

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT to
closing

 

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Commitment Letter to which this Annex II is attached.

 

The initial extensions of credit under the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities will, subject in all respects to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, be subject to satisfaction (or waiver
by the Lead Arrangers) of the following conditions precedent:

 

(i)            The
Acquisition shall have been, or shall be, substantially concurrently with execution of the Credit Documentation, consummated in all material
respects in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 5, 2022 among the Borrower, Merger Sub and
the Target (together with all Schedules and Exhibits thereto, the “Acquisition Agreement”), without giving
effect to any consent or amendment, change or supplement or waiver of any provision thereof in any manner that is materially adverse
to the interests of the Lead Arrangers (in their capacities as such) without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers (not to
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that the Lead Arrangers shall be deemed to have consented to such
amendment, change, supplement or waiver unless they shall object thereto in writing within three business days after receipt of written
notice of such amendment, change, supplement or waiver); provided further that (i) any reduction in the purchase price for
the Acquisition set forth in the Acquisition Agreement shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lead Arrangers
(in their capacities as such) so long as such reduction is applied to reduce the Term Loan B Facility on a dollar for dollar basis; (ii) any
increase in the purchase price set forth in the Acquisition Agreement shall be deemed to be not materially adverse to the interests of
the Lead Arrangers (in their capacities as such) so long as such purchase price increase is funded with cash on hand, proceeds of capital
stock of Borrower, or an increase in common equity comprising the Equity Consideration of the Borrower; and (iii) any amendment
or modification of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” in the Acquisition Agreement will be deemed to be
materially adverse to the interests of the Lead Arrangers.

 

(ii)            No
Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) shall have occurred since the date of the Acquisition
Agreement and be continuing.

 

(iii)            The
Administrative Agent shall have received the Solvency Certificate from the Borrower’s chief financial officer or other person with
similar responsibilities in substantially the form attached hereto on Annex III.

 

(iv)            The
Administrative Agent shall have received (A) customary opinions of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, (B) customary
corporate (or other organizational) resolutions from the Borrower and the Guarantors, customary secretary’s certificates from the
Borrower and the Guarantors appending such resolutions, charter documents and an incumbency certificate and (C) a customary borrowing
notice (provided that such notice shall not include any representation or statement as to the absence (or existence) of any default
or event of default or any bring-down of representations or warranties).

 

(v)            The
Administrative Agent shall have received: (A) the audited consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations
or income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of each of the Borrower and the Target for the three most recently completed fiscal
years of the Borrower and the Target, respectively, ended at least 120 days before the Closing Date (the “Annual Financial
Statements”); (B) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of operations or income and cash
flows of each of the Borrower and the Target for each subsequent fiscal quarter (other than any fiscal fourth quarter) of the Borrower
and the Target, respectively, ended at least 60 days before the Closing Date (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”)
and, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph (v), it being understood and agreed that such financial statements
of the Borrower and the Target may be in the same form and scope as the financial statements previously delivered to the Lead Arrangers
or publicly filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to the date hereof; and (C) a pro forma balance sheet and related statement
of operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including the Acquired Business) as of and for the twelve-month period ending with
the latest quarterly period of the Borrower covered by the Annual Financial Statements or the Quarterly Financial Statements, as applicable,
in each case after giving effect to the Transactions (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), which need not
comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, as amended, or include adjustments for purchase accounting
or any reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges
receipt of each of the above Annual Financial Statements and Quarterly Financial Statements of the Borrower and the Target that have
been publicly filed with or furnished to the SEC (such Annual Financial Statements and Quarterly Financial Statements, collectively,
the “Delivered Financial Information”).

 

    Annex II-1

     

    

 

(vi)            The
Lead Arrangers shall have received the financial statements described in clauses (A) and (B) of paragraph (v) above
(it being understood that only the Delivered Financial Information shall be required to be delivered under this clause (vi)) (the
 “Required Information”) for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities not later than 15 consecutive calendar days
prior to the Closing Date; provided that once such 15 consecutive calendar day period begins, it shall not restart or cease to
continue as a result of the requirement to deliver any subsequent Annual Financial Statements or Quarterly Financial Statements pursuant
to clauses (A) or (B), respectively, of paragraph (v) above after such 15 consecutive calendar day period begins or after such
Required Information has otherwise been provided; provided further that none of July 5, 2022, July 3, 2023 or July 5,
2023 shall constitute a calendar day for purposes of such calculation (provided however that such exclusion shall not restart such period)
and if such 15 consecutive calendar day period has not ended on or prior to (x) August 22, 2022, then it will be deemed to
not commence earlier than September 6, 2022 or (y) December 16, 2022, then it will be deemed to not commence earlier than
January 2, 2023; provided, further, that such 15 consecutive calendar day period in any event shall end on any earlier date prior
to the expiration of such 15 consecutive calendar day period if the initial funding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is consummated
on such earlier date (including closing into escrow). If the Borrower in good faith reasonably believes it has delivered the Required
Information, it may deliver to the Lead Arrangers a written notice to that effect stating the date upon which it believes such Required
Information was first provided, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have complied with such obligation to furnish the Required
Information on the date set forth in such notice, and the 15 consecutive calendar day period referred to above will be deemed to have
commenced on the date set forth in such notice, in each case, unless the Lead Arrangers in good faith at the time such notice is given
reasonably believe that the Borrower has not completed delivery of such Required Information and, within two business days after the
receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Lead Arrangers deliver a written notice to the Borrower to that effect (stating with reasonable
specificity which such Required Information has not been delivered, in which case such Required Information shall be deemed to have been
delivered when such specific items have been delivered by the Borrower); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of
the Required Information shall be satisfied at any time at which (and so long as) the Lead Arrangers shall have actually received the
Required Information, regardless of whether or when any such notice is delivered to the Borrower.

 

    Annex II-2

     

    

  

(vii)            All
fees due to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders under the Fee Letter and the Commitment Letter to be paid on
or prior to the Closing Date, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses to be paid or reimbursed under the Commitment
Letter to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers on or prior to the Closing Date that have been invoiced at least three business
days prior to the Closing Date, shall have been paid, in each case, from the proceeds of the initial funding under the Senior Secured
Credit Facilities (which amounts may be offset against the proceeds of the Term B Loan Facility).

 

(viii)            Substantially
concurrently with the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, all existing third-party indebtedness of the Borrower
and its subsidiaries under the Borrower’s Existing Credit Agreement, in each case, will be repaid, redeemed, repurchased,
defeased, discharged, refinanced or terminated, and all related guarantees and security interests will be terminated and released (or
arrangements for such termination and release shall have been made) (the “Refinancing”).

 

(ix)            The
Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall have provided the documentation and other information to the Administrative Agent and each
Lead Arranger that are required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations,
including the Patriot Act and information relating to beneficial ownership of the Borrower required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
in each case, at least 3 business days prior to the Closing Date to the extent such information has been reasonably requested in writing
by the Administrative Agent or any Lead Arranger at least 10 business days prior to the Closing Date.

 

(x)            Subject
in all respects to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, all documents and instruments required to create and perfect the Administrative
Agent’s security interests in the Collateral shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Guarantors (or, where
applicable, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall have authorized the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code)
and, if applicable, be in proper form for filing.

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE1

 

[_____], 2019

 

This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this “Certificate”)
is delivered in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of [_____], 2022 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated,
replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among MaxLinear, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent [and collateral
agent], the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein
without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

 

As of the date hereof, in my capacity as a Financial
Officer of the Company (as defined below), and not in any individual or personal capacity, I believe that:

 

1.            Company
(as used herein “Company” means the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis)
is not now, nor will the incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition on the Closing
Date (and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, render the Company “insolvent”
as defined in this paragraph; in this context, “insolvent” means that (i) the fair value of assets (on a going concern
basis) of the Company at a fair valuation is less than the amount that will be required to pay the total liability on existing liabilities
as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the present fair salable value of assets (on a going concern basis) of the Company is
less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing liabilities as they become absolute and matured
in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) the Company is unable to pay its current obligations in the ordinary course
of business as they generally become due. The term “liabilities” as used in this Certificate refers to the recorded liabilities
of the Company as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied and “values of assets” shall mean the amount that would be obtained by a willing seller if the assets
(both tangible and intangible) in their entirety were to be purchased by a willing buyer, with a commercially reasonable period of time,
each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under compulsion to act.

 

2.            The
incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the other Transactions on the Closing Date (and after
giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, will not leave the Company with unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct their businesses. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of
the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on my current assumptions
regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Company in light
of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumption I do not believe to be unreasonable in light
of the circumstances applicable thereto.

 

 

 

1       Defined terms
to be aligned with those in the definitive Credit Agreement, but consistent with this form of solvency certificate.

 

    Annex III-1

     

    

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed
this Solvency Certificate in such undersigned’s capacity as an officer of the Borrower, on behalf of the Borrower, and not individually,
as of the date first above written.
