-10-

give rise to any redemption or similar right to any holder of any of the Company Parties’ securities. None of the Company Parties have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state and foreign securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. There are no shareholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which any of the Company Parties is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company Parties, between or among any of the Company’s shareholders, other than the Transaction Documents.

The Company further represents to each Participating Lender that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

4.7.Exchange Transactions. To the knowledge of the Company Parties, there is no transfer of, nor is there any plan or intention to transfer, any property (within the meaning of Section 351(a) of the Code) to the Company in exchange for the Common Stock of the Company or any other property (within the meaning of Section 351(b) of the Code) in connection with the Restructuring other than the Exchange Transactions.

4.8.SEC Reporting and Related Matters.

(a)Since December 31, 2023, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis. As of their respective filing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent amendment or restatement, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b)The Company has timely filed and made publicly available on ▇▇▇▇▇ all certifications, statements and documents required by Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act. The Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files with or submits to the Commission (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic reports under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting

-11-

(as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c)The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all of the applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

4.9.Regulation M Compliance. None of the Company Parties or their Affiliates have, and to the Company Parties’ knowledge no other Person acting on its or their behalf has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of any of the Company Parties, including under Regulation M of the Exchange Act.

Each of the Company Parties has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

. The Company Parties will notify the Participating Lenders in writing, prior to the Effective Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.

5.6.Access to Information. Such Participating Lender acknowledges that (a) it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Exchange Stock and the merits and risks of investing in the Exchange Stock; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment, and (b) it has, independently and without reliance upon any statement, representation or warranty made by any Person (including any of the Company’s financial advisors or other representatives), other than such statements, representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in this Agreement, and based on such information described in the foregoing clause (a), made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and make its investment in the Exchange Stock and that it has not relied on the analysis and decision or due diligence investigation of any other Person (including any of the Company’s financial advisors or other representatives).

5.9.Restricted Securities. Such Participating Lender understands that the shares of Exchange Stock are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws because they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

In connection with any transfer of Exchange Stock other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Participating Lender, a Permitted Transfer or in connection with a pledge or grant of security interest as contemplated in Section 7.1(b), (i) the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Exchange Stock under the Securities Act and (ii), as a condition of transfer, the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE VIII of this Agreement and shall otherwise have the rights and obligations of a Participating Lender under this Agreement.

(b)The Participating Lenders agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 7.1, of a legend on any of the shares of Exchange Stock in substantially the following form:

IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Participating Lender may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Exchange Stock to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Participating Lender may transfer pledged or secured shares of Exchange Stock to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Participating ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of shares

-16-

of Exchange Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the shares of Exchange Stock.

(c)Shares of Exchange Stock held by non-Affiliates of the Company shall not bear any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 7.1(b) hereof), following any resale of such Exchange Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement or when such shares can be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to have current public information available. The Company shall deliver an appropriate instruction and shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent if required by the Transfer Agent or a Participating Lender to effect the removal of any legends (including the legend set forth in Section 7.1(b) hereof) from any shares of Exchange Stock (i) upon their sale pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) upon their sale pursuant to Rule 144. The Company agrees that, with respect to any shares of Exchange Stock issued with any legend, at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by a Participating Lender to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a request with respect thereto, together with a representation letter duly executed by such Participating Lender indicating that such Participating Lender is not an Affiliate of the Company and has held (or is deemed under Rule 144 to have held) the Exchange Stock for at least one year and an attestation of Exchange Stock ownership (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), declare or cause to be declared to such Participating Lender and any party so designated by the Participating Lender, at the option of such Participating Lender, that such Exchange Stock is free from all restrictive and other legends (and otherwise ensure that any such restrictive and other legends are not applicable to such Exchange Stock) and, at the request of such Participating Lender, cause the Exchange Stock to be credited (under an unrestricted CUSIP, which shall be the same unrestricted CUSIP used for the Common Stock generally) by the Transfer Agent to the Participating Lender by crediting such Exchange Stock to the account of the Participating ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s broker with the Depositary Trust Company, as directed by such Participating Lender. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this ARTICLE VII.

(d)Each Participating Lender, severally and not jointly with the other Participating Lenders, agrees with the Company that such Participating Lender will sell any Exchange Stock pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend in respect of the Exchange Stock as set forth in this Section 7.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

7.2.Furnishing of Information. In order to enable the Participating Lenders to sell the Exchange Stock under Rule 144 (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (without giving effect to any extensions of time that may be available therefor under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Act or successor thereto) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act, so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements. If the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Participating Lenders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Participating Lenders to sell the Exchange Stock under Rule 144.

7.3.Integration. The Company has not sold, offered for sale or solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or delivery of the Exchange Stock, and shall not do so, in each case in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the delivery of the Exchange Stock or that would be integrated with the offer or delivery of the Exchange Stock for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

7.4.Securities Laws Disclosure. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to

-17-

Neither the Company nor any Participating Lender shall issue any press release nor otherwise make any such public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Participating Lender, or without the prior consent of each Participating Lender, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Participating Lender, or include the name of any Participating Lender in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Participating Lender, except (a) as reasonably required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (or disclosure with respect thereto) with the Commission as determined by the Company after consultation with the Ad Hoc Group Advisors (as defined in the TSA) and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations as determined by the Company after consultation with the Ad Hoc Group Advisors, in which case the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Participating Lenders with at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice of, and an opportunity to review and comment on, such disclosure; provided that under no circumstances may any Party make any disclosure of any kind that would disclose either: (i) the holdings of any Participating Lender (including on the signature pages of the Participating Lenders, which shall not be publicly disclosed or filed) of any Existing Loans, Exchange First Lien Loans, or of any other debt obligations of the Company, whether prior to or after the consummation of the Restructuring, or (ii) the identity of any Participating Lender, in each case without the prior written consent of such Participating Lender or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable securities laws as reasonably as determined by a Party based on reasonable advice of external counsel.

7.5.Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which material terms and conditions and material non-public information shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 7.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Participating Lender or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, unless prior thereto such Participating Lender shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Participating Lender shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Participating Lender without such Participating Lender’s consent in contravention of this Section 7.5, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Participating Lender shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Participating Lender shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Participating Lender shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

7.6.Use of Proceeds. The Company shall not use the net proceeds from the Exchange Transactions: (a) for the redemption of any Company securities, (b) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (c) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations or other applicable laws.

7.7.Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and has available for the Closing, free of any Lien other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents and arising under applicable securities laws, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effectuate the Closing.

-18-

7.8.Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock (including the Exchange Stock) on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer and to maintain a transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock.

7.9.Equal Treatment of Participating Lenders. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Participating Lender by the Company and negotiated separately by each Participating Lender, and is intended for the Company to treat the Participating Lenders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Participating Lenders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the receipt, disposition or voting of Exchange Stock or otherwise.

7.10.Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Participating Lender, severally and not jointly with the other Participating Lenders, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to Current Report on Form 8-K described in the first sentence of Section 7.4 (unless the Company shall fail to file such report within the time period specified in Section 7.4). Each Participating Lender, severally and not jointly with the other Participating Lenders, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Current Report on Form 8-K described in the first sentence of Section 7.4, such Participating Lender will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information gained in the course of this transaction (unless the Company shall fail to file such report within the time period specified in Section 7.4).

7.11.Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Exchange Stock as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof promptly upon request of any Participating Lender. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Exchange Stock for, delivery to the Participating Lenders at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Participating Lender.

7.12.Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Exchange Stock will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution will be substantial. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Exchange Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of setoff, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Participating Lender and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.

8.4.Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Participating Lenders which hold at least a majority of the Exchange Stock or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Participating Lender (or group of Participating Lenders), the consent of at least a majority in interest of such disproportionately impacted Participating Lender (or group of Participating Lenders) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Participating Lender relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Participating Lenders shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Participating Lender. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 8.4 shall be binding upon each Participating Lender and holder of Exchange Stock and the Company.

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

8.6.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Participating Lender (other than by merger or similar change in control transaction). Any Participating Lender may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate or to any Person to whom such Participating Lender assigns or transfers any Exchange Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Exchange Stock, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Exchange Stock, by the provisions of this Agreement set forth in ARTICLE I, ARTICLE II, ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, and ARTICLE VIII that apply to the “Participating Lenders.”

-20-

8.7.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than with respect to such Persons (including the Company’s financial advisors and other representatives) referenced in the last paragraphs of each of ARTICLE V and ARTICLE V, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

8.8.Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement 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 conflicts of law thereof. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan 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 any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an 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 Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

8.9.Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic signature (including via DocuSign), facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” (or similar) format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such electronic, facsimile or “.pdf” (or similar) signature page were an original thereof.

8.10.Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

8.11.Replacement of Exchange Stock. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Exchange Stock is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Exchange Stock.

8.12.Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Participating Lenders and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

8.13.Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Participating Lender pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Participating Lender

-21-

enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

8.14.Independent Nature of Participating Lenders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Participating Lender under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Participating Lender, and no Participating Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Participating Lender under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Participating Lender pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Participating Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Participating Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Participating Lender shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Participating Lender to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Participating Lender has been, or has had the opportunity to have been, represented by legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Participating Lenders with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Participating Lenders. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Participating Lender, solely, and not between the Company and the Participating Lenders collectively and not between and among the Participating Lenders.

8.15.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

8.16.Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, but without duplication of any adjustment provided for therein, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

8.17.Survival; Indemnification; Third Party Beneficiaries. All agreements, representations, and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.17, the Company will indemnify and hold each Participating Lender and its directors, officers, managers, equityholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Participating Lender (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, managers, equityholders, members, partners, employees or agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, a “Participating Lender Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, Proceedings, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Participating Lender Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction

-22-

Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Participating Lender Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Participating Lender Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach of such Participating Lender Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Participating Lender Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Participating Lender Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Participating Lender Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Participating Lender Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Participating Lender Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Participating Lender Party. Any Participating Lender Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Participating Lender Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Participating Lender Party or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Participating Lender Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel (plus one local counsel in each necessary jurisdiction). The Company will not be liable to any Participating Lender Party for indemnity under this Section 8.17 (x) for any settlement by a Participating Lender Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (y) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Participating Lender Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Participating Lender Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 8.17 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Participating Lender Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law. Any Losses for which any Person is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.17 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. No Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the extent such Losses were already indemnified pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Other than to the extent otherwise set forth in Section 8.7, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except the Participating Lender Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 8.17.

8.18.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.18.

8.19.Agent for Service of Process. The Company has appointed Corporation Service Company with offices currently at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its authorized agent (the

-23-

“Process Agent”) upon whom all writs, process and summonses may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement which may be instituted in any state or federal court in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Process Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue each such appointment in full force and effect so long as this Agreement has not been terminated. The Company agrees that the appointment of the Process Agent shall be irrevocable so long as this Agreement has not been terminated or until the irrevocable appointment by the Company of a successor agent in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan as its authorized agent for such purpose and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. Service of process upon the Process Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company.
