SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Note Documents, Purchasers agree as follows:

2.1 Purchase and Sale of Notes.

2.1.1 Purchase and Sale; Closings. On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at one or more closings (each a “Closing”), in return for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser, the Issuers shall sell and issue to (a) such Last Out Purchaser one or more secured convertible promissory notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Last Out Notes”), (b) each BL FF First Out Purchaser, a secured promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “BL FF First Out Notes”) and (c) each FF Ventures First Out Purchaser, a secured convertible promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 (the “FF Ventures First Out Notes”). Each Note shall have a principal amount equal to the Consideration paid or contributed by such Purchaser for the Note, as set forth on the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Schedule of Purchasers”). Each Last Out Note and the FF Ventures First Out Note shall be convertible into such other securities as set forth in Section 4.3.3.

(a) First Closing and Subsequent Closings Prior to the Second A&R Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the first Closing (the “First Closing”) took place on the First Closing Date. At the First Closing Date, each Purchaser delivered the Consideration to the Issuers (which, for the avoidance of doubt, included contribution of the Existing Contributed Debt in accordance with the Contribution Agreements) and the Issuers delivered to each such Purchaser a Last Out Note in return for its respective Consideration, as identified on the Schedule of Purchasers with respect to the First Closing. Subsequent to the First Closing, (i) other Purchasers delivered cash Consideration to the Issuers and the Issuers delivered to each such Purchaser a Last Out Note in return for its respective Consideration, and (ii) the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers delivered cash Consideration to the Issuers and the Issuers delivered to the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers the FF Ventures First Out Note issued on September 9, 2020 in return for its consideration, each of (i) and (ii) as identified on the Schedule of Purchasers. All Notes issued to Purchasers prior to September 9, 2020 shall constitute Last Out Obligations, which shall be subordinated in payment and priority to the First Out Obligations in accordance with the terms hereunder. The Note issued to the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers on September 9, 2020 shall constitute First Out Obligations, which shall be pari passu in payment and priority with all other First Out Obligation and senior in payment and priority to the Last Out Obligations as set forth herein.

(b) Subsequent Closing Occurring on the Second A&R Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Second A&R Date (the “Second A&R Closing”) the BL FF First Out Purchasers shall deliver the Consideration to the Issuers less any deductions set forth on a related funds flow/sources and uses (the “Deduction Memorandum”), and the Issuers shall deliver to the BL FF First Out Purchasers a BL FF First Out Note in return for its Consideration, as identified on the Schedule of Purchasers with respect to such Second A&R Closing. The Note issued to the BL FF First Out Purchasers at the Second A&R Closing shall constitute First Out Obligations, which shall be pari passu in payment and priority with all other First Out Obligation and senior in payment and priority to the Last Out Obligations as set forth herein.

(c) Additional Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Second A&R Date until the Maximum Amount is committed and funded, at any subsequent Closing (each a “Subsequent Closing”), Issuers may sell additional Notes to (i) Purchasers already party to this Agreement (at the time determined, the “Existing Purchasers”), and/or (ii) new Purchasers (the “New Purchasers”), in exchange in each case for Consideration paid by such Purchasers consisting of new cash proceeds funded into the FF Disbursement Account. Each Subsequent Closing shall be held at such place and time as determined by Issuer Representative and such Purchasers by electronic means of document execution and delivery. At each Subsequent Closing, (i) New Purchasers shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement to purchase Notes, (ii) each such Existing Purchaser and/or New Purchaser shall deliver its portion of the Consideration by wire transfer to the FF Disbursement Account, or to such account(s) as designated by Issuer Representative, (iii) Issuer Representative shall deliver to each such Purchaser a Note in the amount equal to the amount of its Consideration; provided that after the Second A&R Date, a First Out Note may only be issued to the BL FF First Out Purchasers or, subject to Section 2.1.1(d), the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers and (iv) Issuer Representative shall supplement the Schedule of Purchasers, by adding such New Purchasers and to reflect any additional purchases by Existing Purchasers, and reflecting whether the Note being issued is a First Out Note or a Last Out Note. On any Subsequent Closing Date, such New Purchaser, to the extent not already a Purchaser, shall be a “Purchaser” hereunder and a party hereto, entitled to the rights and benefits, and subject to the duties, representations and warranties of a Purchaser under this Agreement. Notes sold at Subsequent Closings occurring after the Second A&R Date shall only be funded with new cash proceeds and the date of issuance of the Notes shall be the date of such Subsequent Closing. Notes issued to Purchasers at a Subsequent Closing occurring after the Second A&R Date for Consideration consisting of new cash proceeds shall constitute either (i) Last Out Obligations (or any more junior priority as agreed by such Purchaser), which shall be subordinated in payment and priority to the First Out Obligations in accordance with the terms hereunder or (ii) solely with respect to First Out Notes issued to BL FF First Out Purchasers or FF Ventures First Out Purchasers, First Out Obligations subject to Section 2.1.1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Note Document, the only conditions that shall be required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of any Subsequent Closing after the Second A&R Date (and any fundings of Notes that shall occur in connection therewith) shall be those conditions agreed to by the Issuer Representative and the Purchasers that are purchasing Notes in connection with such Subsequent Closing. The Obligors and the Purchasers of new Notes may, without the consent of any other Purchaser, effect such amendments to any Note Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Issuer Representative and such Purchaser and, solely with respect to new First Out Notes, with the consent of the Majority Purchasers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.1.1(c).

(d) Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes sold and issued to all Purchasers in all Closings shall not, in any event, exceed Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) (the “Maximum Amount”) and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all First Out Notes sold and issued to First Out Purchasers shall not exceed $45,000,000; provided however, the aggregate principal amount of First Out Notes shall not exceed $30,000,000 without the prior written consent of the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers (in their sole discretion), which consent in each case may be contingent upon the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers purchasing up to fifty percent (50%) of such incremental First Out Notes, which First Out Notes purchased by FF Ventures First Out Purchasers shall be in the form of FF Ventures First Out Notes, No additional First Out Notes shall be issued to FF Ventures First Out Purchasers without the consent of BL FF First Out Purchasers. If after the Second A&R Date any additional First Out Notes are issued to (x) BL FF First Out Purchasers, such incremental First Out Notes shall be on the same terms and conditions as the First Out Notes issued to BL FF First Out Purchasers on the Second A&R Date, or (y) Ventures, (1) such incremental First Out Notes shall be on the same terms and conditions as the First Out Notes issued to Ventures prior to the Second A&R Date, (2) Ventures shall be paid a fee equal to 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such additional loans on the date of the issuance thereof (which shall be paid by deducting the amount of such fee from the Consideration otherwise payable by Ventures for such loan under FF Ventures First Out Note(s) and directing Ventures to pay such amount to ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC in satisfaction of the Issuers’ obligations to ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC hereunder) and (3) each loan under FF Ventures First Out Note(s) shall be funded pursuant to an original issuance discount of 8% of the aggregate principal amount under such Ventures First Out Note(s). For clarity any increase in the outstanding principal amount of an outstanding First Out Note shall be deemed an issuance within the provisions of this clause (d), and subject to the aggregate limitation set forth herein, incremental First Out Notes may be issued in such incremental amounts as agreed between the Issuers and the applicable First Out Purchaser(s).

(e) Optional Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Note Document, if, on or prior to November 9, 2021, Ventures delivers written irrevocable notice to the Issuer Representative that Ventures desires to invest up to $15,000,000 in FF Intelligent (or, following the Public Company Date (as defined in the Optional Notes), the publicly traded entity) and an Event of Default has not occurred and resulted in an Acceleration during the 30-day period commencing on September 9, 2020, then Ventures shall be entitled to make such investment through the issuance of interest-free convertible unsecured notes in the form of Exhibit C-4 attached hereto (“Optional Notes”), subject to a consulting and advisor fee (payable to ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC for consulting and advisory services expected to be rendered by ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC in connection with such investment) of 2.0% and original issuance discount of 8.0%, in each case of the aggregate principal amount under such notes, and which shall be convertible, at the sole election of Ventures from time to time in accordance with the Optional Notes while such notes are outstanding, into common shares of the publicly traded entity following the Public Company Date based on an amount equal to the conversion price at which the FF Ventures First Out Note issued on September 9, 2020 was converted in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger (or, if no Qualified SPAC Merger occurred, the lowest effective price at which the publicly traded entity raised capital at the time of the Public Company Date (or the first such capital raise thereafter)). Additionally, upon exercise of the rights hereunder, Ventures shall also receive, along with the Optional Notes for no additional consideration, a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of the publicly traded entity equal to 35% of the principal amount of any Optional Notes issued hereunder divided by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $4 billion by (y) the Fully Diluted Capitalization of the publicly traded entity at the time of exercise, otherwise in the form of the Warrant; provided, however, to the extent that the exercise price or number of shares issuable pursuant to the Warrant is adjusted pursuant to the terms thereunder, the exercise price of the warrant issued hereunder shall equal the then exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares underlying the warrant issued hereunder shall be proportionally increased with the increase in the number of shares underlying the Warrant. Ventures and the Issuer Representative shall each take commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the issuance of the Optional Notes and related additional warrant reasonably promptly after Ventures delivers notice of the exercise of its rights hereunder, and in any event within 10 days of written notice by Ventures. All of the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Optional Notes shall be registered in accordance with the terms thereof. All of the common shares issuable upon exercise of the additional warrant, and the resale of such common shares, shall be registered under the Securities Act in the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger or, if such warrant is issued after the consummation of the Qualified SPAC Merger, pursuant to another registration statement to be filed with the SEC within 30 days of the issuance of such warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Optional Notes shall not be deemed “Notes” or “Note Documents” for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) any obligations under any Optional Notes shall not be deemed “Obligations”.

2.1.2 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Notes issued in any Subsequent Closing shall be used only for (a) the working capital of the Obligors and other general corporate purposes not in violation of this Agreement, (b) payment of amounts required to be paid under the Vendor Trust Documents, and (c) otherwise as consented to by the Majority Purchasers.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1 Interest.

3.1.1 Rate of Interest. Except as provided in Section 3.1.2, upon funding into the FF Disbursement Account, the principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest, in accordance with Section 3.2, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

3.1.2 Default Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Note Documents, except as provided in Section 9.2(d) with regard to the Last Out Notes, during any Forbearance Period, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and any overdue amounts shall bear interest or earn fees at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate and such interest shall be payable on demand.

3.1.3 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to the principal amount of the Notes, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Notes under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Purchaser holding such Note in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Note hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 3.1.3 shall be accumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Purchaser in respect of other Notes or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such accumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto, shall have been received by such Purchaser. If at any time, the amount of interest paid hereunder is limited by the Maximum Rate, and the amount at which interest accrues hereunder is subsequently below the Maximum Rate, the rate at which interest accrues hereunder shall remain at the Maximum Rate, until such time as the aggregate interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been paid had the Maximum Rate not applied.

3.2 Computation of Interest and Fees. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees chargeable under the Note Documents shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) over a year of 360 days. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, (a) payments of Obligations and any other obligations pursuant to the Note Documents made in immediately available funds shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.4.2 and (b) all items of payment received by Notes Agent that are not made in immediately available funds (including, but not limited to, checks, drafts and other similar forms of payment) shall be deemed applied by Notes Agent on account of the Obligations and any other obligations pursuant to the Note Documents (subject to final payment of such items) on the first Business Day after receipt by Notes Agent of such items in Notes Agent’s account.

3.3 Agency Fees. To compensate Notes Agent for its performance of its duties as Notes Agent under this Agreement, the Issuers shall, jointly and severally, pay such fees as described in the fee letter dated on the First Closing Date and annually thereafter (collectively, the “Agency Fees”); provided, however, payment shall be made subject to and in accordance with the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement. Issuer’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement (or expiration of appointment) of the Notes Agent and the satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Note Document.

3.4 Charges. Issuers shall pay to Notes Agent on demand and without any withholding for Taxes, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Notes Agent or any Purchaser pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to any Issuer or any other Person on behalf of any Issuer or any Purchaser, of proceeds of Notes issued by Issuers pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Notes Agent or any Purchaser of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Notes Agent or any Purchaser on account of the Obligations.

3.5 Collateral Protection Expenses. All expenses incurred in protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, and any and all stamp duty, excise, property, sales, and use Taxes imposed by any state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof shall be borne and paid by Issuers. If Issuers fail to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, Notes Agent may, at its option, and shall if directed by the Majority Purchasers, pay the same and charge Issuers therefor pursuant to Section 11.3.

3.6 Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. In addition to all fees, charges, costs and expenses described in this SECTION 3 or in Section 11.3, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person shall be paid pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 11.3.

3.7 No Deductions.

(a) Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes except as required by applicable Law.

(b) If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an Issuer, Obligor or the Notes Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any payment by an Issuer, Obligor, or Notes Agent under any Note Document, then the applicable Issuer, Obligor, or Notes Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Issuer or Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Issuers and any other Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify Notes Agent and each Purchaser for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by Notes Agent or such Purchaser in connection with any Note Document (including any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority). The indemnity under this Section 3.7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days after Notes Agent or any Purchaser delivers to the Issuer Representative a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by Notes Agent or such Purchaser and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Any such Purchaser shall deliver a copy of such certificate to Notes Agent.

(d) Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify Notes Agent for any Taxes (but only to the extent that no Issuer or any other Obligor has not already indemnified Notes Agent for such Taxes pursuant to Section 3.7(c) and without limiting the obligation of Issuers or any other Obligors to do so) attributable to such Purchaser that are paid or payable by Notes Agent in connection with any Note Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 3.7(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after Notes Agent delivers to the applicable Purchaser a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by Notes Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of- pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Tax Certificates. Each Purchaser shall deliver to Issuers and Notes Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement the following:

1. For any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person, duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

2. For any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Person”), duly executed copies of, as applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor forms thereto designated as such by the IRS. If the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for and wishes to claim exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” then such Person shall deliver both the Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and a statement certifying that such Person is not a bank, a “10 percent shareholder” or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code in a form reasonably acceptable to Issuers and the Notes Agent (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”). If the Non-U.S. Person is not the beneficial owner, then such Person shall deliver executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that, if such Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

3. Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document shall deliver to Issuers and Notes Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Issuers and Notes Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by an Issuer or Notes Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by an Issuer or the Notes Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by an Issuer or the Notes Agent as will enable Issuers or the Notes Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.7(f)(1) and 3.7(f)(2)) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

4. Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Issuers in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement (or expiration of appointment) of the Notes Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document.

(b) Subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, if a Last Out Purchaser becomes a Lead Investor in a preferred stock offering (as such term is defined on Schedule 4.3.3, “Preferred Stock Offering”), then all or any portion of such Lead Investor’s Notes, together with accrued interest and such Lead Investor’s pro rata portion of the Payment Premium (provided that solely for purposes of conversion under this Section 4.3.3, such Lead Investor’s Payment Premium will increase from twenty (20%) percent to thirty-three (33%) percent) may be converted, in its sole and absolute discretion, into shares of Preferred Stock, at any time, prior to the closing of such Preferred Stock Offering.

(c) Solely with respect to any FF Ventures First Out Notes, in the event FF Intelligent consummates a Qualified SPAC Merger to or with a SPAC, then in connection with the consummation of the Qualified SPAC Merger, an amount equal to 130% of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued original issue discount under the FF Ventures First Out Notes through (but not including) the date of consummation of the Qualified SPAC Merger will automatically convert into common shares of the SPAC received by Class A ordinary shareholders of FF Intelligent in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger (the “SPAC Conversion Shares”), and the FF Ventures First Out Notes and interest thereon shall no longer be outstanding and shall be deemed satisfied in full and terminated. Such conversion of the FF Ventures First Out Notes and interest thereon will be at a conversion price equal to the lower of (1) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the pre-money valuation ascribed to FF Intelligent in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger by (y) the Fully Diluted Capitalization and (2) the lowest effective net price per share of common shares paid for by any third party at the time of, or in connection with, the Qualified SPAC Merger (including the effective price per share taking into consideration the transfer of any founder shares, warrants or other considerations to any investor or participant in the Qualified SPAC Merger). As used herein, “Fully Diluted Capitalization” of FF Intelligent at any time shall be equal to the number of its outstanding shares of FF Intelligent, assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of all outstanding securities or instruments convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, its shares, whether or not vested or then- exercisable, and including shares reserved for issuance under any equity incentive or similar plan of FF Intelligent. Holders of the FF Ventures First Out Notes converting such Notes will participate in the Qualified SPAC Merger with respect to the common stock issued to them upon conversion on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to other holders of FF Intelligent’s Class A ordinary shares, including any lockup applicable thereto pursuant to the Qualified SPAC Merger. In the event an Obligor other than FF Intelligent shall consummate the Qualified SPAC Merger, then the terms of this Section applicable to FF Intelligent shall apply with respect to such Obligor mutatis mutandis, and all Obligors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause any Obligor party to the Qualified SPAC Merger to issue the SPAC Conversion Shares and complete the conversion of 130% of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the FF Ventures First Out Notes into the SPAC Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Note Document, subject to the Obligors complying with the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3.3(c) and Section 2 of the Warrant, the Purchasers consent to the Qualified SPAC Merger for purposes of the Note Documents and agree that (x) the consummation of the Qualified SPAC Merger shall not constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or any other provision of any Note Document, and (y) the conversion of FF Ventures First Out Notes to SPAC Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4.3.3 shall not constitute a prepayment of the FF Ventures First Out Notes. The SPAC Conversion Shares and the common shares underlying the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) shall be issued in compliance with all applicable laws, and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer agreed to in writing by the recipients of the SPAC Conversion Shares or pursuant to applicable securities laws. The SPAC Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares and the resale of all such shares shall be subject to any lockup applicable in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger and included for registration under the Securities Act in the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger; provided any such lockup on such shares shall be entitled to the benefit of any more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in any other lockup entered into in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger, including without limitation with respect to any shorter lockup period and the waiver of lockup restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, if any equity issued in connection with the Qualified SPAC Merger is not subject to any lock-up restrictions, then the equity received by Ventures shall be freely tradable and not subject to any lock-up restrictions.

(d) Solely with respect to any BL FF First Out Notes, in the event FF Intelligent consummates a Qualified SPAC Merger to or with a SPAC, the Issuer Representative may exercise its Conversion Right in accordance with the terms and conditions of such BL FF First Out Notes.

4.5 All Notes to Constitute One Obligation. The Obligations under the Notes shall constitute one general Obligation of Issuers and shall be secured by Collateral Agent’s Lien upon all of the Collateral; provided, however, that each Purchaser shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Issuer to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Issuer.

4.6 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

Issuers shall not make, and no Purchaser shall accept, any payment or prepayment in respect of the Notes except in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, so as to be shared first ratably among the First Out Purchasers and to maintain as near as possible the amount of the indebtedness owing under their respective Notes according to the First Out Purchasers’ respective pro rata share of the First Out Obligations and second ratably among the Last Out Purchasers and to maintain as near as possible the amount of the indebtedness owing under their respective Notes according to the Last Out Purchasers’ respective pro rata share of the Last Out Obligations.

Any purported transfer or license of any Obligor Intellectual Property in breach of this Section 9.1.18, shall be of no force or effect.

9.2 Acceleration of the Obligations. Subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement:

(a) Subject to Section 9.2(d) below, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default except as specified in Section 9.1.15 (Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), Notes Agent (acting at the direction of Majority Purchasers) may declare (such declaration, an “Acceleration”) the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable, and thereupon the principal of the Notes so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations of Issuers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Issuers, in each case, without limiting any other rights or remedies of Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, the other Note Documents or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise. In addition, the Notes Agent (acting at the direction of Majority Purchasers) may rescind any such Acceleration previously declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the 30-day period commencing on September 9, 2020, BL FF First Out Purchasers, acting as Majority Purchasers, shall not declare an Acceleration without the prior consent of the FF Ventures First Out Purchasers.

(b) Subject to Section 9.2(d) below, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Notes Agent (acting at the direction of Majority Purchasers) and Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Note Document) or demand upon any Obligor, which are expressly waived by each Obligor (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Note Document), proceed to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Note Documents against the Issuers and each other Obligor and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

(c) Any right, remedy, privilege or power of any Secured Party with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent and not by any Secured Party individually. The order and manner in which the Purchasers’ rights and remedies are to be exercised against the Collateral following the acceleration of the Notes, shall be determined by the Majority Purchasers or by the Majority Holders (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) (to the extent required by the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) and all payments received by Notes Agent and the Purchasers, or any of them, shall be applied as provided for in the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and herein. No application of payments under this clause (c) will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Note Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Purchasers hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity.

(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (except a Fundamental Event of Default), until the Maturity Date (the “Forbearance Period”), the Purchasers agree (i) to forbear from declaring the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable and exercising or enforcing rights or remedies against the Obligors, (ii) that, solely with respect to the First Out Notes, (1) during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1.4(b) arising out of a breach of Section 7.2.5 (Limitation on Liens) or Section 7.2.6 (Payments of Certain Obligations) or under Section 9.1.5(b), (d) and (e) (Vendor Trust Debt). (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall occur after giving effect to the sixty (60)-day cure period set forth in Section 9.1), interest will be subject to the Default Rate during the Forbearance Period and (2) during the occurrence and continuance of any other Event of Default interest will be subject to the Interest Rate rather than the Default Rate during the Forbearance Period, and (iii) that, solely with respect to the Last Out Notes, interest will be subject to the Interest Rate rather than the Default Rate during the Forbearance Period; provided that, (A) nothing herein shall prohibit Notes Agent (at the direction of Majority Purchasers) from exercising rights or remedies under the Note Documents in respect of a Default relating to a Fundamental Event of Default, and (B) the Forbearance Period shall immediately terminate upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Event of Default, at which time, Notes Agent (at the direction of Majority Purchasers) may immediately exercise any of its rights and remedies, whether pursuant to the Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, but provided that the Forbearance Period will be reinstated if all existing Fundamental Events of Default are cured (to the extent such Fundamental Events of Default are curable under this Agreement). Obligors acknowledge and agree that the running of any statutes of limitation or doctrine of laches applicable to any claims or causes of action that Notes Agent or Purchasers may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce their rights and remedies against Issuers and other Obligors (or any of their respective assets) is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Event of Default, interest will be subject to the Default Rate.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1.15 (Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) occurs, all Obligations shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or other Note Documents to the contrary, Notes Agent and Purchasers agree that except in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, they will not exercise or enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or any Note Document where such right, remedy or power arises as a result of a Default or an Event of Default; it being agreed that acceleration in respect of an Event of Default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a remedy for any purposes of this Agreement.

9.3 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, following an acceleration of the Notes (to the extent permitted by the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement), each Purchaser and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized by Obligors at any time or from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, with prior written notice to Notes Agent, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Purchaser or Affiliate at any of its offices for the account of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such deposits are then due to an Obligor or its Subsidiaries), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by such Purchaser or Affiliate to or for the credit or for the account of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case against and on account of any of and all of the Obligations held by such Purchaser or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser or Affiliate shall have made any demand under the Note Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. Any Purchaser exercising a right to setoff shall, to the extent the amount of any such setoff exceeds its pro rata share of the Obligations, purchase for cash (and the other Purchasers shall sell) interests in each such other Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Purchaser to share such excess with each other Purchaser in accordance with their respective pro rata share. Each Obligor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Purchaser may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Notes Agent for the benefit of all Purchasers in accordance with the pro rata shares of the Purchasers.

9.4 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of Obligors contained in this Agreement and the other Note Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any Schedule or in any Collateral Agreement given to Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser or contained in any other agreement between any Purchaser and Obligors or between Notes Agent or the Collateral Agent and Obligors heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of Obligors herein contained. The failure or delay of Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser to require strict performance by Obligors of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Notes and other Obligations owing or to become owing from Obligors to Notes Agent and each Purchaser have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Obligors contained in this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents and no Default or Event of Default by Obligors under this Agreement or any other Note Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Purchasers, unless such suspension or waiver is granted (or deemed granted) in accordance with Section 11.1.

9.5 Credit Bidding. Subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Purchasers, at the direction of the Majority Purchasers, shall have the right to credit bid, or to direct the Collateral Agent to credit bid, all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (x) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 thereof, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which an Obligor is subject, (y) at any sale thereof conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (z) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial Action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Purchasers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid, in each case at the direction of the Majority Purchasers, (A) Notes Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) Notes Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by Notes Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Majority Purchasers, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement), (C) Notes Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Purchasers, as a result of which each of the Purchasers shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Purchaser or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (D) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Purchasers pro rata and the Equity Interest and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Purchaser or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

SECTION 10. AGENTS

10.1 Authorization and Action. Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank National Association as Notes Agent pursuant to this Agreement and each Purchaser hereby authorizes Notes Agent to take such action on its behalf, including execution of the Note Documents, as applicable, and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Note Documents as are delegated to Notes Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Notes Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement assumed a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Purchaser, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing nor will Notes Agent have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by Notes Agent in this Agreement and the other Security Documents to which Notes Agent is a signatory and no obligations or duties shall be implied against Notes Agent. Subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, Notes Agent shall have the authority to (i) act as the collecting agent for Purchasers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Note Documents, (ii) execute and deliver as Notes Agent each Note Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreements, and accept delivery of each Note Document from any Obligor or other Person and to perform all of its undertakings and obligations thereunder, (iii) approve the forms of Vendor Trust Documents and (iv) take any action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Note Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Notes Agent shall act solely as such agent of Purchasers, and shall not assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward, or relationship of agency or trust with or for, Obligors. Notes Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise any discretion or take any action hereunder unless and until it is adequately directed hereunder (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) by the Majority Purchasers (accompanied by indemnity satisfactory to the Notes Agent, and subject to the Notes Agent’s rights hereunder (as applicable) and indemnification set forth in Section 11.3), only whenever such instruction shall be requested by Notes Agent, or required hereunder following the acceleration of the Obligations, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Purchasers; provided, that Notes Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action which exposes it to any liability or which is contrary this Agreement, the other Note Documents or applicable Law, unless Notes Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Purchasers against any and all liability and expense which it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If Notes Agent in its discretion seeks the consent or approval of the Majority Purchasers with respect to any action hereunder, Notes Agent shall send notice thereof to each Purchaser and shall notify each Purchaser at any time that the Majority Purchasers (or such greater or lesser number of Purchasers) have instructed Notes Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the acceleration of the Obligations, the Majority Purchasers have no right to require Notes Agent to act or refrain from acting and any such right following an Event of Default and acceleration shall be subject to the Notes Agent’s rights hereunder. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights (including the right to request that the Issuer take an action or deliver a document and the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default) granted to the Notes Agent herein shall not be construed as duties. Nothing herein or in any Security Documents or related documents shall obligate the Notes Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. If any indemnity in favor of the Notes Agent shall be or become, in the Notes Agent’s reasonable determination, inadequate, the Notes Agent may call for additional indemnification and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given. The Notes Agent shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any related document in so far as the performance of such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other Person which are not received or not received by the time required. The Notes Agent may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting, records and work of any Person without audit, and the Notes Agent shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Person. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any information received, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Notes Agent making or continuing any Error (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Notes Agent shall have no liability for such Continued Errors.

10.2 Notes Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Notes Agent, any Affiliate thereof, nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any party (including any Obligor) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Notes Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Notes Agent: (i) may treat each Purchaser party hereto as the holder of Obligations until receipt of an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement from such Purchaser; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Obligors), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranties or representations to any Purchaser and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for any recitals, statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Documents; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Note Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall not be liable to any Purchaser for any action taken, or inaction, by Notes Agent in connection with this Agreement or the other Note Documents or, following Notes Agent’s request prior to acceleration of the Notes, or following acceleration of the Notes, upon the instructions of Majority Purchasers or refraining to take any action pending such instructions; (vi) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distributions of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to SECTION 4 hereof; (vii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Note Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, message or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document; and (viii) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact, claim, demand, Default or Event of Default, unless Notes Agent has received written notice thereof specifically identifying such fact, claim, demand, Default or Event of Default and referencing this Agreement (and in the case of the Notes Agent, such written notice is received by a Responsible Officer). The delivery of reports, information and documents to the Notes Agent shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder. In the event any apportionment or distribution described in clause (vi) above is determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. Notes Agent shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether Notes Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall Notes Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, future changes in applicable Law or regulation, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that Notes Agent shall use reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. Notes Agent may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral or amounts due hereunder and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Notes Agent is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Notes Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. If at any time the Notes Agent is served with any arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process which in any way affects this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral or any part thereof or funds held by it (including, but not limited to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions), it shall be authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if the Notes Agent complies with any such arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process, the Notes Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, award, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

10.3 Rights of Notes Agent. The Person serving as Notes Agent hereunder may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors or any Subsidiary of an Obligor or other Affiliate thereof, all as if it were not Notes Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Purchaser.

10.4 Purchaser Credit Decision. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Notes Agent or any other Purchaser and based on the financial statements referred to herein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Notes Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any other Note Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Notes Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on an ongoing basis, to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other similar information regarding Obligors.

10.5 Indemnification. Purchasers agree to indemnify each of Notes Agent and Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors), in accordance with their respective pro rata share of the Obligations, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, Taxes, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Notes Agent or Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document or any action taken or omitted by Notes Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Note Document (including, the costs of any such indemnified party defending itself against a claim brought by a party hereto and the costs of enforcing a Purchaser’s indemnity obligations hereunder); provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, Taxes, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Notes Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees to reimburse Notes Agent and Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share, as set forth above, of any reasonable internal and external expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) incurred by Notes Agent or Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiation, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Note Document, to the extent that Notes Agent or Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Obligors. The obligations of Purchasers under this Section 10.5 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Notes Agent or Collateral Agent, Payment in Full and the termination of this Agreement. If after payment and distribution of any amount by Notes Agent or Collateral Agent to Purchasers, any Purchaser or any other Person, including Obligors, any creditor of any Obligor, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Notes Agent or Collateral Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent to Purchasers, then each Purchaser shall reimburse Notes Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, any amount received by such Purchaser.

10.6 Rights and Remedies to Be Exercised by Agents Only. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser shall have any right individually (i) to realize upon the security created by any other Note Document, (ii) to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or (iii) to make demand under this Agreement or any other Note Document.

10.7 Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral; Release of Liens and Guaranties. Purchasers hereby appoint BL Management, as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, as Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes and ratifies Notes Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s entry into the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and other Security Documents for the benefit of the Purchasers, as Secured Parties, and authorizes Notes Agent and Collateral Agent to be the representatives of the Purchasers, as Secured Parties, with respect to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and other Security Documents. Each Purchaser, by execution of this Agreement and by accepting the benefits of the security contemplated hereby and under the Security Documents, hereby irrevocably (i) agrees to be bound to the terms of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents executed by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, as Secured Parties, as if such Purchasers are direct parties thereto, (ii) agrees to take no actions contrary to the provisions of such Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and other Security Documents, (iii) authorizes Collateral Agent to perform under such Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and other Security Documents and enter into any modifications or amendments thereto and (iv) agrees that any action taken by Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and other Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the powers set forth therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything herein this Agreement or the Security Documents to the contrary, the Notes Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting, maintaining or continuing the perfection of any liens on the Collateral.

10.8 [Reserved].

10.9 Resignation of Notes Agent; Appointment of Successor. Notes Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Purchasers and the Issuer Representative. If Notes Agent shall resign under this Agreement, (i) the Majority Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Notes Agent, subject, so long as no Event of Default then exists, to Issuer Representative’s consent if such successor Notes Agent is not an Affiliate thereof, or (ii) if a successor Notes Agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the notice to Purchasers and Issuer Representative of its resignation, then the retiring Notes Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, (A) appoint a successor Notes Agent who shall serve as such until such time as the Majority Purchasers appoint a successor Notes Agent or ratify the appointment of a successor Notes Agent, subject, so long as no Event of Default then exists, to Issuer Representative’s consent if such successor Notes Agent is not an Affiliate thereof (provided that, if the Majority Purchasers and the Issuer Representative, if applicable, do not confirm such acceptance in writing within thirty (30) days following selection of such successor by Notes Agent or select another Notes Agent within such thirty (30) day period, then they shall be deemed to have given such acceptance and such successor shall be deemed appointed as Notes Agent hereunder) or (B) petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Notes Agent. Upon its appointment, such successor Notes Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Notes Agent, and the term “Notes Agent” shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment, and the retiring Notes Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Notes Agent, shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Notes Agent or any of the other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the resignation of Notes Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10.9 and Section 11.3 shall inure to the benefit of the former Notes Agent and its sub-agents, including, without limitation, the immunities and indemnifications provided herein and therein, and such former Notes Agent shall not by reason of such resignation or expiration of its appointment be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was Notes Agent under this Agreement. The fees paid by Issuers to any successor Notes Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Issuers and such successor Notes Agent. Any Person into which the Notes Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Notes Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Notes Agent shall be the successor of the Notes Agent without any further action hereunder.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to Issuers as Notes or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 4.2.3. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.3 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Obligor shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law, to the payment and satisfaction of all matters described in this Section 11.3 incurred by the Indemnified Persons.

(b) The Issuers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Indemnified Person against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, Taxes, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of financial advisors, counsel to Notes Agent, counsel to the Indemnified Persons and if necessary, local counsel to the Indemnified Persons in any relevant jurisdiction and any such costs incurred in connection with enforcing the Issuers’ indemnity obligations hereunder, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Note Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective Action relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether any such Action is brought by a party hereto, and the reasonable internal and external fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with any such Action; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available if such losses, claims, damages, Taxes, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(c) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 11.3, each Issuer agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable internal and external legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and monitoring and laboratory fees), arising out of (a) any Releases or threatened Releases (i) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor, or any predecessor in interest, or (ii) any Hazardous Materials generated and disposed of by any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor, or any predecessor in interest; (b) any violations of Environmental Laws by any Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any predecessor in interest; (c) any Remedial Action relating to any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor, or any predecessor in interest; (d) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor, or any predecessor in interest; and (e) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Obligors in Section 6.1.22. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligors shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3(c) regarding any potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(d) To the extent that Issuers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent, under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 11.3, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent such Purchaser’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Notes Agent in its capacity as such.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Obligor hereby waives, releases and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any such claim or seek any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(f) The indemnities, waivers and other obligations of the Issuers set forth in this Section 11.3 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Note Documents.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.3 shall limit any right to indemnification and reimbursement for expenses provided to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement.

11.4 Sale of Interest. No Obligor may sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Note Documents, or any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, including such Obligor’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of Notes Agent (which may (but shall not be obligated to) grant such consent at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Obligor without such consent shall be null and void).

11.5 Severability.

As required by federal law and Notes Agent’s policies and practices, Notes Agent may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. Notes Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree to use reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Notes Agent or such Purchaser applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own comparable confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to them by any Obligor and designated as confidential, except that Notes Agent and each Purchaser may disclose such information (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, members, partners, stockholders and agents, including accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential); (b) to (i) any assignee or Participant or potential assignee or Participant (in each case other than to any customer of the Obligors or operating competitor of the Obligors, in each case as represented by such Participant or potential assignee, without the prior written consent of the Issuer Representative, provided that it shall not be a violation of this Section 11.16 if such representation is not true and the consent of the Issuer Representative was not obtained prior to such disclosure, provided further, that, the Issuer Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such disclosure unless it shall object thereto by written notice within ten (10) days after having received notice thereof), or (ii) any actual or potential counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction (including any Hedging Agreement) relating to the Obligors and their obligations, in each case that has agreed to comply and be bound by this Section 11.16 (and any such Person may disclose such information to the Persons applicable to it described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Notes Agent or such Purchaser to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; provided that Notes Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Issuer Representative as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person pursuant to this clause (c) (other than at the request of a Governmental Authority) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, or except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination or audit; (d) as it reasonably believes, or on the advice of its counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Note Documents or in connection with any Action relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Purchaser’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Purchaser (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any information relating to the Obligors received by it from such Purchaser); (g) to any other party to this Agreement; (h) with the consent of the Issuer Representative; or (i) that becomes publicly available other than as the result of a breach of this Section 11.16, or that becomes available to Notes Agent or any Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Obligors. This Section 11.16 shall supersede all prior confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure agreements or other similar agreements between any Obligor and Notes Agent or any Purchaser with respect to the treatment of confidential information.

EACH PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ISSUERS, AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY ANY ISSUER OR NOTES AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE- LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUERS AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH PURCHASER REPRESENTS TO EACH ISSUER THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

11.17 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO FORUM. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL BE LOCATED IN ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION SHALL GOVERN THE METHOD, MANNER AND PROCEDURE FOR FORECLOSURE OF COLLATERAL AGENT’S LIEN UPON SUCH COLLATERAL AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND NOTES AGENT’S OTHER REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF SUCH COLLATERAL TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION ARE DIFFERENT FROM OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. AS PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE OR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OF ANY OBLIGOR, NOTES AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER, EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND FOR ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY NOTE DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO OBLIGORS AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF OBLIGORS’ ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PURCHASER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PURCHASER OF ANY JUDGMENT OR ORDER OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM OR THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT TO ENFORCE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM OR JURISDICTION.

11.18 CERTAIN WAIVERS. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (i) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY OF THE NOTE DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR UNDER THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY); (ii) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND AND PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, PROTEST, DEFAULT, NON PAYMENT, MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY OR ALL COMMERCIAL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, CONTRACT RIGHTS, DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTIES AT ANY TIME HELD BY NOTES AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER ON WHICH THE OBLIGORS MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE AND HEREBY RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS WHATEVER ANY PURCHASER MAY DO IN REGARD THEREOF; (iii) NOTICE PRIOR TO COLLATERAL AGENT’S OR NOTES AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY BOND OR SECURITY WHICH MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY ANY COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING COLLATERAL AGENT OR NOTES AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY OF ITS REMEDIES; (iv) THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT AND EXEMPTION LAWS; AND (v) NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE HEREOF. EACH OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO NOTES AGENT’S AND EACH PURCHASER’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT NOTES AGENT AND EACH PURCHASER IS RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH OBLIGORS. EACH OBLIGOR WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.19 Advertisement. Obligors consent to the publication by Notes Agent or any Purchaser of announcements commonly known as “tombstones” relating to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject in each case to prior review and approval by the Issuer Representative). No Purchaser may make any such announcement without the prior written consent of Notes Agent (such consent to be given or withheld in such agent’s discretion) and the Issuer Representative. Notes Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

11.20 Joint and Several Liability.

Each Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is a party shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each Obligor unless expressly otherwise stated herein.

Each Obligor shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations of each other Obligor, regardless of which Obligor actually receives the proceeds or other benefits of the Notes or other extensions of credit hereunder or the manner in which Obligors, Notes Agent or any Purchaser accounts therefor in their respective books and records.

Each Obligor acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by each other Obligor because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including their ability to receive the Notes and other credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Note Documents which would not have been available to any Obligor acting alone. Obligors’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Obligor is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Each Obligor has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of each other Obligor as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Obligors acknowledge that Notes Agent’s and Purchasers’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral, as applicable, on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Obligors and at Obligors’ request.

Each of Notes Agent and the Purchasers have advised each Obligor that it is unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Note Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Obligor unless each Obligor agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Obligor. Each Obligor has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Purchasers to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement, the Note Documents and the other documents executed in connection herewith (a) because of the desirability to each Obligor of the credit facilities hereunder and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (b) because each Obligor may engage in transactions jointly with other Obligors and (c) because each Obligor may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth. Each Obligor, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities contemplated hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all Obligors, and the joint and several liability of all Obligors. Accordingly, each Obligor acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this Agreement to Obligors, as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any one Obligor.

To the extent that applicable Law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Obligor hereunder and under the other Note Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Person’s obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Obligor’s obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section 11.20 were not a part of this Agreement.

To the extent that any Obligor shall make a payment under this Section 11.20 of all or any of the Obligations (a “Joint Liability Payment”) which, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Obligor, exceeds the amount that such Obligor would otherwise have paid if each Obligor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that such Person’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Obligor as determined immediately prior to the making of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following Payment in Full, such Obligor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Obligor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Obligor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Obligor under this Section 11.20 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under §548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

Each Obligor assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Obligor, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Obligor’s Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Obligor of their Obligations, and each Obligor agrees that none of Notes Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any duty to advise such Obligor of information known to Notes Agent or any Purchaser regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If Notes Agent or any Purchaser, in its discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to an Obligor, neither Notes Agent nor any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Obligor or any other Person on any subsequent occasion.

Each Obligor hereby authorizes Notes Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, to, at any time and from time to time, (a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, Obligations incurred by any Obligor, otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any Note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Obligor and delivered to Notes Agent or any Purchaser; (b) accept partial payments on an Obligation incurred by any Obligor; (c) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of an Obligation incurred by any Obligor hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of an Obligation incurred by any Obligor or other liabilities of any Obligor and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (d) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Collateral Agent, in its discretion, may determine; and (c) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate an Obligation incurred by any Obligor and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any other Obligor. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Notes Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from an Obligor or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on each Obligor. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any Obligation incurred by any Obligor as Notes Agent shall determine in its discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Obligor. For the avoidance of doubt, the authority granted to Notes Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.20 is being granted solely by the Obligors and in no respect is a grant of authority by any Purchaser. Nothing in this Section 11.20 shall (i) modify any right of any Obligor or any Purchaser to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Note Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, (ii) supplement or modify in any respect any authority granted by the Purchasers to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Note Documents or (iii) affect or in any way limit the rights of Notes Agent or any Purchaser under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents.

Each Obligor hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the absence of any attempt to collect an Obligation incurred by any Obligor from any Obligor or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (b) any failure by Collateral Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for an Obligation incurred by any Obligor; (c) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Obligor as debtor-in-possession under §364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (d) the disallowance, under §502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of any Purchaser’s claim(s) for repayment of any portion of an Obligation incurred by any Obligor; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor unless such legal or equitable discharge or defense is that of an Obligor in its capacity as an Issuer.

Any notice given by Issuer Representative hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Obligors, jointly and severally. Notice given by any Purchaser to Issuer Representative hereunder or pursuant to any other Note Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof shall constitute notice to each Obligor. The knowledge of any Obligor shall be imputed to all Obligors and any consent by Issuer Representative or any Obligor shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Obligors.

This Section 11.20 is intended only to define the relative rights of Obligors and nothing set forth in this Section 11.20 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Obligors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Note Documents. Nothing contained in this Section 11.20 shall limit the liability of any Obligor to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to such Obligor and accrued interest, and internal and external fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Obligor shall be primarily liable.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Obligor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnifying an Obligor against the other Obligors under this Section 11.20 shall be exercisable upon Payment in Full.

No payment made by or for the account of an Obligor, including (a) a payment made by such Obligor on behalf of an Obligation of another Obligor or (b) a payment made by any other Person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Obligor, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Obligor or from or out of property of such other Obligor and such Obligor shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Obligor or any property of such other Obligor by reason of any performance of such Obligor of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until, in each case, Payment in Full.

11.21 Patriot Act Notice. Notes Agent and Purchasers hereby notify each Obligor and each Purchaser that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Notes Agent and Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor and each Purchaser, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Notes Agent and Purchasers to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Notes Agent and Purchasers will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding any Obligor’s or Purchaser’s management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.

11.22 Relationship with Purchasers. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several, and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations or commitments of any other Purchaser. Amounts payable hereunder to each Purchaser shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Action for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Notes Agent, any Purchaser or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Note Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Notes Agent, any Purchaser or any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, Joint Venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

11.23 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permissible by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

11.24 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Note Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Notes Agent, any Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates are arms’-length commercial transactions between Obligors and such Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents; (b) each of Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent, Purchasers, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the Transactions contemplated by the Note Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent, Purchasers, and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Notes Agent, the Collateral Agent, Purchasers, and their Affiliates with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any Transaction contemplated by a Note Document.

11.25 Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(a) Each Issuer represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law.

(b) Each Issuer covenants and agrees that (i) no Covered Entity will become a Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, will (A) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) do business in or with, or derive any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (C) engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (D) use the Notes to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (iii) the funds used to repay the Obligations will not be derived from any unlawful activity, and (iv) each Covered Entity shall comply with all Anti- Terrorism Laws.

11.26 Suretyship Waivers. Without limiting the express intent of the parties hereto as to the governing law of this Agreement as described in Section 11.17, to the extent that California law is held to apply hereto, each Guarantor and each Issuer (in the case of Issuers, with respect to the Obligations of any one or more other Issuer) (all collectively, the “Sureties”; each of them, a “Surety”) waives any and all (if any) rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent, or any Purchaser (individually and collectively, as the context implies, the “Purchaser Parties”), even though that election of remedies by such party, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to real Property, has destroyed such Surety’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (if applicable) or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Surety waives all rights and defenses that such Surety may have because all or any of the Issuers’ Obligations are secured by real Property. This means, among other things:

(a) the Purchaser Parties may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal Property pledged by any one or more Issuer; and

(b) if the Purchaser Parties foreclose on any real Property pledged by any one or more Issuer: (i) the amount of the Issuers’ Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (ii) the Purchaser Parties may collect from such Surety even if the Purchaser, by foreclosing on the real Property, has destroyed any right such Surety may have to collect from any one or more Issuer.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Sureties may have because any of the Issuers’ Obligations are secured by real Property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any (if applicable) rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, each Surety hereby expressly waives any and all benefits under California Civil Code sections 2815, 2819, 2822, 2839, 2846, 2847, 2899 and 3433, California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d and 726, and Chapter 2 of Title 14 of the California Civil Code.

SECTION 12. THE ISSUER REPRESENTATIVE

12.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Faraday is hereby appointed by each Issuer as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Issuer Representative”) hereunder and under each other Note Document, and each Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Issuer Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Issuer with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents. The Issuer Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this SECTION 12. Additionally, Issuers hereby appoint the Issuer Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Notes in the deposit account or accounts designated for such purpose by the Issuer Representative from time to time, at which time the Issuer Representative shall promptly disburse such Notes to the appropriate Issuer. Notes Agent and the Purchasers, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Issuer Representative or any Issuer for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer Representative or Issuers pursuant to this Section 12.1.

12.2 Powers. The Issuer Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Note Documents as are specifically delegated to the Issuer Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Issuer Representative shall have no implied duties to Issuers, or any obligation to the Purchasers to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Note Documents to be taken by the Issuer Representative.

12.3 Employment of Agents. The Issuer Representative may execute any of its duties as the Issuer Representative hereunder and under any other Note Document by or through authorized officers.

12.4 Notices. Each Issuer shall immediately notify the Issuer Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any other Note Document, referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Issuer Representative receives such a notice, the Issuer Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Notes Agent and the Purchasers. Any notice provided to the Issuer Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Issuer on the date received by the Issuer Representative.

12.5 Successor Issuer Representative. The Issuer Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Issuer Representative who shall be reasonably acceptable to Notes Agent. Notes Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Purchasers.

12.6 Execution of Note Documents. The Issuers hereby empower and authorize the Issuer Representative, on behalf of all Issuers, to execute and deliver to Notes Agent and the Purchasers the Note Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Note Documents. Each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Issuer Representative or Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, and the exercise by the Issuer Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of Issuers. Notes Agent and Purchasers are entitled to conclusively rely on any information provided by Issuer Representative on behalf of the Issuers.

SECTION 13. GUARANTEE.

13.1 Guarantee.

13.1.1 Anything herein or in any other Note Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Note Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 13.2).

13.1.2 Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum permitted amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder in accordance with the preceding Section 13.1.1 without impairing the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 or affecting the rights and remedies of Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser hereunder.

13.1.3 The Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full.

13.1.4 No payment made by the Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser from the Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until Payment in Full.

13.1.5 Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, as a primary obligor and not only a surety, guarantees to Notes Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Issuers and the other Guarantors when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of each Guarantor.

13.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.3. The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Purchasers, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to Notes Agent and the Purchasers for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

13.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or Purchasers against the Issuers or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuers or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until Payment in Full; provided that any such right of contribution or reimbursement against any Issuer or any other Guarantor (including any right under Section 13.2) shall be irrevocably and automatically waived in the event the Equity Interests of such Issuer or other Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in connection with the exercise of rights and remedies by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or the Purchasers (including in connection with a consensual sale, transfer or other disposition in lieu of foreclosure). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to Payment in Full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Notes Agent, Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, and, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to Notes Agent or Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

13.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Notes Agent or any Purchaser may be rescinded by Notes Agent or such Purchaser and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, and this Agreement, the other Note Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Notes Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Purchasers or all Purchasers, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Collateral Agent or Notes Agent or any Purchaser for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither Notes Agent, Collateral Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 or any property subject thereto.

13.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Notes Agent or any Purchaser upon the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 or acceptance of the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13, and all dealings between the Issuers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and Notes Agent or the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Issuers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Note Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Notes Agent or any Purchaser, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Issuers or any other Person against Notes Agent or any Purchaser, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Issuers or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuers for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, Notes Agent or any Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Notes Agent or any Purchaser to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Notes Agent or any Purchaser against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, each of Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to any Guarantor (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Obligations or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Obligations, (c) extend or renew any of the Obligations for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation of any Guarantor or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Obligations, (d) release any Guarantee or right of offset or its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Obligations or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property, and (e) resort to any Guarantor for payment of any of the Obligations when due, whether or not Notes Agent, Collateral Agent or such Purchaser shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Obligations or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other Guarantor or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Obligations.

13.6 Reinstatement. The Guarantee contained in this SECTION 13 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Notes Agent or any Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuers or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Issuers or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to Notes Agent without withholding for Taxes, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.

SECTION 14. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.

14.1 Amendment and Restatement; Waiver.

14.1.1 The Original A&R Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth herein. All references to the Original A&R Agreement in any other document, instrument, agreement or other writing shall be deemed to refer to the Original A&R Agreement as amended and restated herein.

14.1.2 Each party hereto hereby confirms that, after giving effect to this Agreement, each Note Document to which such party is a party continues in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

14.1.3 Each Obligor hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent has a valid, enforceable and perfected first-priority lien upon and security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Note Documents (subject only to Permitted Liens), and nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the Liens created and provided for thereby as to the Obligations which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.

14.1.4 The Purchasers (together holding 100% of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes) hereby direct the Notes Agent (i) to execute and enter into (a) this Agreement and (b) Amendment No. 2 to Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of the Second A&R Date; and (ii) to waive all Events of Default, if any, and any other known or unknown Events of Default that may exist as of the Second A&R Date (immediately prior to giving effectiveness of this Agreement).

14.1.5 Waiver. Notes Agent (at the direction of the Purchasers), Collateral Agent and the Purchasers hereby waive all Events of Default, if any, and any other known or unknown Events of Default that may exist as of the Second A&R Date (immediately prior to giving effectiveness of this Agreement).

Section 4. Conversion.

a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the later of (i) Original Issue Date and the Public Company Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Note as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within two (2) Business Days of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to the Conversion Price in the Joinder and Amendment (the “Conversion Price”).

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) 130% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.

ii. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the one year anniversary after the Public Company Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) if applicable, a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest. On or after the earlier of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the one year anniversary after the Public Company Date, the Company shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

iii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iv. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such 3^rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.

vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder, if applicable. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

viii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration in each case receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note) (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible to the Alternate Consideration in respect of the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion set forth in Section 4(d) of this Note) as of immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

d) Notice to the Holder.

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company(and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 6. Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Note in connection with any transfer of this Note, the transfer of this Note shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Note, as the case may be, provides to the Company an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of this Note does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Holder hereby agrees to be bound by the lock up provisions set forth in Article 81 of the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company (as amended, the “Articles”) with respect to this Note and the Conversion Shares, which lock up provisions shall apply to this Note and the Conversion Shares mutatis mutandis; provided any such lock up on this Note and the Conversion Shares shall be entitled to the benefit of any more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in any other lock up entered into in connection with an IPO or SPAC Transaction, including without limitation with respect to any shorter lock up period and the waiver of lock up restrictions.

Section 7. Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, unless the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially, adversely and disproportionately affects any rights of the Holder; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from amending its charter documents to provide rights to investors in future capital raises.

Section 8. Events of Default.

a) “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following Events of Default (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

ii. the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Notes in any material respect, which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder to the Company and (B) fifteen (15) Trading Days after the Company has become aware of such failure;

b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the outstanding principal amount on this Note shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Default Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated hereunder (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

f) Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

g) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
