The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation, default, conflict or breach, nor will such consummation constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, an event that results in (a) the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or (b) the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

(e) If any or all of the New Debt Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be issued to the Investor and/or its Affiliates as provided in Section 6(c), the Company may, during the 180 day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 6(c), issue and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Debt Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms (including without limitation, the size of the round, the pricing, the security, and so on) no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice; provided that such 180 day period may be extended by an additional 90 days if and to the extent that the Company continues to negotiate and pursue in faith to pursue the sale and issuance of the applicable New Debt Securities.

9. Guaranty.
(a) Guaranty of the Obligations. The Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that the Guaranteed Obligations of the Company in its capacity as a Guarantor shall exclude any Direct Company Obligations.
(b) Payment by Guarantors. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company or any other Guarantor to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, ratably to the Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed
-34-
Obligations (including interest which, but for the Company’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Beneficiaries as aforesaid.
(c) Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(i) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability and this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(ii) the Credit Party may enforce this Guaranty during the continuation of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(iii) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person and whether or not the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions;
(iv) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Beneficiaries are awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate under the relevant Transaction Document, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security
-35-
agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Credit Party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Transaction Documents; and
(vi) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made)), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Transaction Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Transaction Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not consented to by any Beneficiary; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which the Company or any other Person may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of its Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to the Company with respect to its Direct Company Obligations.
(d) Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason
-36-
of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, (iii) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, and (iv) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 9(c) and any right to consent to any thereof; and (f) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof, in each case other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e) Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including, (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Company, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Beneficiaries to be credited and applied ratably against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
-37-
(f) Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Beneficiaries to be ratably credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
(g) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
(h) Authority of Guarantors or the Company. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
(i) Financial Condition of the Company. Any Note may be sold by the Company, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Company or any other Credit Party at the time of any such grant or continuation, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Company or any other Credit Party. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Company and the other Credit Parties on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company and the other Credit Parties and their respective ability to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and each other Credit Party and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Company or any other Credit Party now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.
(j) Bankruptcy, Etc.
(i) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Company or any other Credit Party. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Company or any other Credit Party or by any defense which the Company or any other Credit Party may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
(ii) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and the Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Company or any other Credit Party of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Investors in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
-38-
In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Company, Company or any Subsidiary of Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder

Judgment may be enforced exclusively in the United States Federal Courts located in the Southern District of New York. The parties expressly (a) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement (or any of the discussions or negotiations relating hereto) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise involving or relating to the Company’s securities, except in arbitration (or, as necessary, to enforce an arbitration award) in accordance with the terms set forth herein; provided, however, that this clause (a) shall in no way limit or restrict the Company’s rights set forth in the last sentence of this Section 10(e), (b) waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such arbitration, suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the arbitral forum (or, in the case of enforcement of an arbitral award, the above-named courts), that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the arbitration, suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the arbitration, suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such arbitral forum or court, and (c) waive to the fullest extent permitted by law their right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Section 10(e) and Section 10(k) in the arbitral forum, the United States Federal Courts located in the Southern District of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein, this Section 10(e) shall not limit any Investor’s right to initiate suit for the enforcement of any delivery or payment on, or with respect to, or due upon the conversion of, any Note, and shall not require arbitration with respect to such matter.

(k) Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Investor shall have access to any trade secrets of the Company. Further, each Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose (i) the existence of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (ii) any business, technical, financial or other information or materials (whether written, oral or in any other form) provided to or learned by such Investor (whether by the Company or its advisors or other representatives) in connection with or pursuant to the preceding clause (i), together with all analyses, compilations, interpretations, notes, studies or other documents prepared by such Investor or its Permitted Disclosees (as defined below) which contain or otherwise reflect such information or materials or such Investor’s review of, or interest in, the Company or any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), unless such Confidential Information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10(k) by such Investor) or (b) is required to be disclosed by law or a governmental authority; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose Confidential Information to officers, directors, members, Affiliates or limited partners or their respective general partners, employees and legal, tax and accounting advisors of such Investor who have a need to know such information for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating such Investor’s investment in the Company (and/or advising such Investor in connection with such purpose) and who have expressly agreed to treat such Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Disclosees”). For the avoidance of doubt, such Investor shall not be permitted to disclose, divulge or use any Confidential Information to any Person (1) in connection with or to solicit any interest in any proposed sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, gift or other transfer or disposition of any kind of any of its Notes or any of such Investor’s rights held thereunder or (2) if such Person, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Board of Directors, carries on any business that is substantially similar to the Company’s business. Even where any disclosure, divulgence or use of any Confidential Information is permitted pursuant hereto, each Investor agrees that it will not export or re-export any Confidential Information except in compliance with all United States and other export control laws and regulations. Each Investor further agrees to protect and maintain, and to cause each Permitted Disclosee to protect and maintain, the confidentiality and security of, and to exercise the highest standard of care as it exercises to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of its own proprietary information, which shall be no less than reasonable care, with respect to, the Confidential Information. Each Investor shall be liable for any disclosure or unauthorized use by the Permitted Disclosees or other representatives of such Investor in contravention of this Section 10(k), and shall take reasonably appropriate steps to safeguard the Confidential Information from disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Each Investor further agrees to notify the Company in writing of any actual or suspected misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information, which may come to its attention. In the event that an Investor or any of its Permitted Disclosees receives a request or is required by a governmental authority to disclose all or any Confidential Information, such Investor or its Permitted
-41-
Disclosees, as the case may be, agree to (A) immediately notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request, (B) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and (C) assist the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, such Investor or its Permitted Disclosees, as the case may be, may disclose to any governmental authority only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Investor is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and such Investor shall exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 10(k) shall in any way limit or otherwise modify any confidentiality covenants entered into by any Investor pursuant to any other agreement entered into with the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company acknowledges and agrees that each Investor may disclose such information in respect of the Company and the Investor’s interest therein as is required under applicable securities laws, rules or regulations or rules of a national securities exchange. The Company consents in advance to such disclosure and any such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Section 10.
(l) Separability of Agreements; Severability of this Agreement. The Company’s agreement with each of the Investors is a separate agreement and the sale of the Notes to each of the Investors is a separate sale. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of each Investor hereunder are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Investors. Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Investor whether arising by reason of the law of the respective Investor’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other Investors. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.
(n) Payments for Consents. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, pay or cause to be paid, and no Investor shall, directly or indirectly, receive, any consideration (including via exchange offer), whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, as an inducement to any consent, waiver, exchange or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Notes or any of the documents related thereto unless such consideration is offered and paid to all Investors pro rata and the payment of such consideration is approved by the Required Investors.

The Company shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar Tax due on the issuance or delivery of the Conversion Securities upon conversion, except any such transfer, stamp or similar Tax that is due because the converting Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Company shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery of the Conversion Securities upon conversion unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such transfer, stamp and similar Tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such transfer, stamp and similar Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(a). In connection with any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a), the Holder shall (i) deliver instructions for delivery of the Conversion Securities and (ii) surrender this Note to the Company (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is
10
reasonably satisfactory to the Company) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Initial Conversion Date to be held in escrow until the final Conversion Date; provided that failure to timely deliver instructions for delivery of the Conversion Securities or to surrender this Note shall not release the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Securities issuable upon a conversion of this Note on each Conversion Date in connection with an Automatic Conversion Event pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be treated for all purposes as the beneficial owner or owners of such Conversion Securities on such Conversion Date. From and after the time at which the Conversion Securities with respect to the final Conversion Date are delivered to the Holder, upon satisfaction of the Company’s conversion obligations, this Note shall be deemed to be delivered to the Company and shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Upon conversion of this Note in connection with an Automatic Conversion Event, the Company shall deliver shares of Conversion Securities to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Securities no later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Trading Day immediately following the later of (x) the last Trading Day of the applicable Settlement Period and (y) the Trading Day the Holder delivers to the Company settlement instructions pursuant to clause (i) above; provided that if an Increased Cost of Stock Borrow exists for a particular Settlement Period, the Company shall deliver the applicable number of Conversion Securities for each Conversion Date in such Settlement Period by 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Trading Day immediately following the later of (x) such Conversion Date and (y) the Trading Day on which the Holder delivers to the Company settlement instructions pursuant to clause (i) above. Delivery of Conversion Securities shall, unless otherwise requested in writing by the Holder, be by means of delivery of book entry shares to the account of the Holder or to the account of the securities intermediary of the Holder for the benefit of the Holder, in each case, pursuant to the instructions provided pursuant to this Section 7(b). Any Conversion Securities shall be delivered without any legends and shall be freely tradeable (except to the extent that the Holder is, or has been during the immediately preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company).
(c) Special Limitation on Conversion. Unless consented to in writing by the Holder, in connection with any Automatic Conversion Event, on any given Conversion Date, the Conversion Date Amount under this Note shall not be converted to the extent that such conversion would cause Holder and its Affiliates to collectively have beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 10% or more of any class of equity security (as defined for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Company that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act immediately following such Conversion Date (any such period during which a portion of the Note shall not be convertible, a “Stay Period”). Any such unconverted amounts shall be converted on the same terms and conditions as the previously converted amount (calculated as of such original Conversion Date) only at (i) such time as Holder consents in writing or (ii) such conversion would not result in the Holder and its Affiliates having beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)
11
of 10% or more of any such class of equity securities of the Company (in each case, a “Stay Period Termination”). During any Stay Period, any unconverted portion of this Note shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest and the Company’s sole obligation with respect to such portion of this Note shall be the delivery of any undelivered Conversion Securities by 12:00 p.m. New York Time on the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Stay Period Termination.
(d) Determination of Increased Cost of Stock Borrow. Prior to and after the Initial Conversion Date, the Lead Investor shall consult with an independent nationally recognized securities dealer (the identity of which is mutually agreed by the Lead Investor and the Company acting reasonably and in good faith prior to the Initial Conversion date) (the “Quotation Agent”) to obtain, and provide to the Company, market quotations (the “Stock Borrow Quotation”) for the daily average cost to borrow shares of Listed Securities calculated on an annualized basis (the “Stock Borrow Average”) with respect to each Settlement Period. The Lead Investor shall obtain a Stock Borrow Quotation after the close of trading on the Principal Market on each Conversion Date in a Settlement Period and, based on each Stock Borrow Quotation so obtained for each Conversion Date in the Settlement Period, calculate the Stock Borrow Average. If the Stock Borrow Average so determined exceeds a rate per annum of 3.00% (the “Stock Borrow Threshold”) with respect to any Settlement Period, then an “Increased Cost of Stock Borrow” shall be deemed to occur for the immediately following Settlement Period; provided that if the Quotation Agent is unable to obtain a Stock Borrow Quotation on any Conversion Date in a Settlement Period, an Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall be deemed to exist for the immediately following Settlement Period; provided, further, that the Quotation Agent shall provide the Lead Investor with the Stock Borrow Average for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately prior to the Initial Conversion Date (obtained in a manner consistent with the immediately preceding sentence) and if either (x) the Stock Borrow Average exceeds the Stock Borrow Threshold for such five (5) Trading Day period or (y) the Quotation Agent is unable to provide a Stock Borrow Quotation for any Trading Day in such five (5) Trading Day period, then an Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall be deemed to occur for the Settlement Period beginning on the Initial Conversion Date. In the event the Lead Investor fails or is unable to perform its obligations under this Section 7(d), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Holder to perform such obligations.
(e) Cash Settlement in Lieu of Conversion. The Company may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Holder, elect to deliver cash in lieu of Conversion Securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a) in an amount equal the Note Obligations Amount of this Note as of the Initial Conversion Date. The Company shall provide notice to Holder of its election to deliver cash in lieu of such Conversion Securities no later than 8:00 a.m. New York time on the Initial Conversion Date. Payment of such cash shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the later of (i) the Initial Conversion Date and (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which the Holder provides wire transfer instructions to the Company prior to the Close of Business on such day.
12
SECTION 8. SETTLEMENT UPON EXCHANGE PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(B). Upon the occurrence of a New Note Exchange pursuant to Section 4(b), the Note Obligations Amount shall be exchanged for a New Note on the Initial Conversion Date in the aggregate principal amount set forth in Section 4(b). The Company shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar Tax on the issuance or delivery of the New Note upon exchange, except any such transfer, stamp or similar Tax that is due because the exchanging Holder requests the New Note to be registered in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Company shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery of the New Note upon exchange unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such transfer, stamp and similar Tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such transfer, stamp and similar Tax has been paid or is not payable. In connection with any exchange of this Note pursuant to Section 4(b), the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Initial Conversion Date; provided that failure to timely surrender this Note shall not release the Company of its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 9. REDEMPTION AND REPAYMENT MECHANICS.
(a) Prepayment. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, this Note may not be redeemed or prepaid at the option of the Company.
(b) Optional Redemption. At any time prior to the occurrence of any conversion pursuant to Section 4 or any redemption in full pursuant to Section 5, the Company may, at its option, redeem this Note for an amount in cash equal to the Make-Whole Amount in accordance with this Section 9(b) (an “Optional Redemption”). In order to effect an Optional Redemption, the Company shall select the date that such Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Optional Redemption Date”) and deliver written notice of such Optional Redemption, and the related Optional Redemption Date, to the Holder not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date.
(c) Mechanics of Redemption or Repayment of this Note. The following procedures shall apply to redemptions pursuant to Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 9(b) and other repayments of the amounts due and payable under this Note:

13

(g) The Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to perform or comply with any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in any agreement(s) or instrument(s) governing any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $50,000,000, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issuance Date, (i) that results in such Indebtedness becoming due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity or (ii) constitutes a failure to pay the principal of any such Indebtedness when due and payable.
14
(h) (i) One or more judgments for the payment of money in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate, to the extent not adequately covered by insurance as to which a solvent and unaffiliated insurance company has acknowledged coverage, shall be rendered against the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any combination thereof (to the extent not paid or covered by a reputable and solvent independent third-party insurance company which has not disputed coverage) and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed (or an action of similar effect in any jurisdiction outside the U.S.), or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment and such action shall not be stayed (or an action of similar effect in any jurisdiction outside the U.S.) or (ii) any nonmonetary judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process shall be entered or filed against Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Company or any combination thereof or any of their respective assets and shall remain undischarged, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed (or an action of similar effect in any jurisdiction outside the U.S.) for a period of 90 consecutive calendar days and such non-monetary judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or similar process would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 11. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been timely cured as provided herein:
(a) Acceleration of Note.

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Investors may declare the outstanding Note Obligations Amounts with respect to all Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable; provided, however, that if any such Event of Default constitutes an Intentional Event of Default, then, in lieu of the outstanding Note Obligations Amount, the Required Investors may declare the Make-Whole Amount with respect to all Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable.
16
(b) Waiver of Default. The Required Investors may (upon execution of a written instrument) rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Event of Default, together with any of the consequences of such Event of Default; provided that an Event of Default of the type specified in Sections 10(m), 10(n) and 10(o) may only be waived and any acceleration with respect thereto only rescinded in respect of this Note by the Holder. In such event, the Holder and the Company will be restored to their respective former positions, rights and obligations hereunder.
(c) Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Holder or the Required Investors to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Holder or Required Investors of any right hereunder preclude any other or further right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative.
(d) Failure to Deliver. Without limiting Section 10(c), if the Company fails to deliver Conversion Securities as required under the terms hereof with respect to any Conversion Date (such Conversion Securities, the “Failed Securities”), the Company shall pay to the Holder the commercially reasonable cost of borrowing securities with respect to any short position relating to such Failed Securities solely to the extent such short positions exist from the time at which the Failed Securities were required to be delivered pursuant to the time hereof until such time as the Failed Securities are delivered, if ever.
SECTION 12. AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall, on or immediately prior to the date of conversion of this Note, take all action necessary, including amending the Company’s governing documents to authorize and reserve the requisite number of shares of Common Equity, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such that the number of shares of Conversion Securities shall be duly and validly authorized, reserved (to the extent applicable) and available for issuance at the time of the conversion of this Note, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Conversion Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Holder.

SECTION 15. AMENDMENTS. This Note, and any of the terms and provisions hereof, may be amended from time to time as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
17
SECTION 16. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RELATED PROVISIONS.
(a) Prior to the one (1)-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, this Note may not be directly or indirectly sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent to be given or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion; provided the Holder may transfer this Note in whole or in part to an affiliated investment fund or vehicle that is under common control with the Holder (such transfer an “Affiliate Transfer”); provided, further, that no change in the identity of the partners or stockholders of the Holder shall constitute an indirect sale or transfer of this Note so long as there is no change of control of such Holder. On or after the one (1)-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, this Note may not be directly or indirectly offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by the Company; provided that the Company may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if and only if such transfer could require the Company to provide any confidential information to the transferee that the Company determines, in good faith, would be sensitive from a competitive perspective due to the identity or nature of the transferee; provided, further, no such consent shall be required in the case of an Affiliate Transfer or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. No Holder of this Note shall use any confidential information provided by the Company pursuant to the Notes or Note Purchase Agreement in order to solicit any interest in a transfer of Notes without the prior written consent of the Company. In connection with any assignment or direct transfer of this Note (in whole or in part), the transferee shall agree to be bound by, and shall become party to, the Note Purchase Agreement by execution of a counterpart signature page thereto. Any offer, sale, assignment or other transfer of this Note is also subject to the restrictive legends of this Note.
(b) The Company shall maintain and keep updated a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of this Note and each Replacement Note and the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (and accrued interest) and any Replacement Note (the “Registered Notes”). The initial address for the Holder of this Note shall be the address set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto and may be updated, from time to time, by written notice to the Company. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the Holders of this Note and Replacement Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of this Note or the applicable Replacement Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall provide a copy of the Register to the Holder and backup calculations for the values relating to this Note in the Register. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 16(a) and any other terms hereof, only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a satisfactory request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the Holder of the applicable Registered Note and the physical surrender of such applicable Registered Note to the Company,
18
the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes, the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of which is the same as the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the surrendered Registered Note, to the Transferee pursuant to Section 17. The provisions of this Section 16(b) are intended to cause the Note to be in “registered form” as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c), or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (and any successor sections) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
SECTION 17. REISSUANCE OF THE NOTE.
(a) Transfer. If this Note is permitted to be transferred, in whole or in part, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will issue and deliver a Replacement Note to the Transferee (in accordance with Section 17(d)), representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note held by the Holder is being transferred, a new note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to the Holder, representing the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance not being transferred (each, a “Replacement Note” and collectively, the “Replacement Notes”). The Holder and the Transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 17(d), following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Outstanding Principal Balance represented by this Note may be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance stated on the face of this Note.
(b) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for Replacement Notes representing in the aggregate the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note in accordance with Section 17(d). Each such Replacement Note will represent such portion of such Outstanding Principal Balance as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. The Original Principal Amount shall be allocated pro rata between such Replacement Notes based on the Outstanding Principal Balance designated for each.
(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a Replacement Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)), representing the Outstanding Principal Balance.
19
(d) Issuance of Replacement Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a Replacement Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such Replacement Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Replacement Note being issued pursuant to Section 17(a) or Section 17(c), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other Replacement Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of Replacement Notes), (iii) shall be deemed to have an Original Principal Amount calculated in accordance with Section 17(b), (iv) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (v) still be deemed to have accrued its proportional share of the interest under this Note from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Due Date, (vi) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note and (vii) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Company, but in any event the Company shall issue such Replacement Note not later than five (5) Business Days after surrender of this Note or the receipt of the evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company pursuant to Section 17(b), as the case may be.
SECTION 18. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES. The Holder shall not by any act or omission, whether by it or the Required Investors, be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Holder or the Required Investors, as applicable, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity, in tort or otherwise, including injunctive relief or specific performance. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the Holder disagrees with any arithmetic calculations performed by the Company pursuant to this Note or if the Holder or Holders and the Company are unable to agree as to a value upon which they are required to agree hereunder, the Holder shall submit to the Company its calculations thereof. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such calculation within five (5) Business Days of the submission by the Holder, then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter submit the disputed arithmetic calculation to an accountant (which is independent of both the Holder and the Company and is not the Company’s appointed outside accountant), reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue). The Company shall cause such accountant to perform the calculation and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed calculation. The Company shall pay the costs and expenses of such accountant unless the calculation of such accountant is mathematically closer to the Company’s calculation than the calculation submitted by the Holder, in which case, the costs and expenses of such accountant shall be paid by such Holder. Such calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
20
SECTION 20. NOTICES AND PAYMENTS.
(a) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally, by overnight courier, by facsimile or by electronic mail or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address as set forth on the Register.
(b) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall provide the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any Interest Payment Due Date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date.
(i) All amounts payable or deliverable in respect of this Note, whether in respect of principal, interest (including accrued interest) or otherwise, upon conversion or otherwise, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such amounts paid or delivered by or on behalf of the Company to (A) any Person who is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code who has timely provided, on behalf of itself, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (B) any Person other than a United States person who has timely provided, on behalf of itself and/or its beneficial owners, as applicable, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and such other information (such as that it and/or its beneficial owner is not a 10% shareholder of the Company, a controlled foreign corporation to which the Company is related, or a bank extending credit to the Company in the ordinary course of its trade or business) establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, shall be free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all Taxes, other than any Taxes imposed under FATCA, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required as a result of a change in Law after the date hereof; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any forms or other information provided by a transferor or predecessor with respect to a Person shall not satisfy the requirements of this sentence with respect to such Person.
(ii) The Company will make all withholdings and deductions required by Law and will timely remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company will furnish to the Holder, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company, or other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Holder).
21
(c) The Company will pay and indemnify the beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) levied on or in connection with the execution, delivery, issuance, registration or enforcement of this Note or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.
SECTION 21. TAX MATTERS. For all U.S. federal and relevant state or local tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a tax authority or change in applicable law, the parties hereto shall treat the Notes as convertible debt and not contingent payment debt instruments, treat the accrual of interest as not constituting “contingent interest” within the meaning of Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code, and file all relevant Tax returns consistently with the foregoing
SECTION 22. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by Law, unless otherwise provided herein, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.
SECTION 23. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SEVERABILITY. This Note and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of New York or of any other state that would result in the application of the laws of a state other than the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

The Holder and the Transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 17(d), following redemption of any portion of this Note, the Outstanding Principal Balance represented by this Note may be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance stated on the face of this Note.

Whenever the Company is required to issue a Replacement Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such Replacement Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Replacement Note being issued pursuant to Section 17(a) or Section 17(c), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other Replacement Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of Replacement Notes), (iii) shall be deemed to have an Original Principal Amount calculated in accordance with Section 17(b), (iv) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (v) still be deemed to have accrued its proportional share of the interest under this Note from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Due Date, (vi) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note and (vii) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Company, but in any event the Company shall issue such Replacement Note not later than five (5) Business Days after surrender of this Note or the receipt of the evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company pursuant to Section 17(b), as the case may be.

The Holder shall not by any act or omission, whether by it or the Required Investors, be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Holder or the Required Investors, as applicable, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity, in tort or otherwise, including injunctive relief or specific performance. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the Holder disagrees with any arithmetic calculations performed by the Company pursuant to this Note or if the Holder or Holders and the Company are unable to agree as to a value upon which they are required to agree hereunder, the Holder shall submit to the Company its calculations thereof. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such calculation within five (5) Business Days of the submission by the Holder, then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter submit the disputed arithmetic calculation to an accountant (which is independent of both the Holder and the Company and is not the Company’s appointed outside accountant), reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue).

(i) All amounts payable or deliverable in respect of this Note, whether in respect of principal, interest (including accrued interest) or otherwise, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such amounts paid or delivered by or on behalf of the Company to (A) any Person who is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code who has timely provided, on behalf of itself, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (B) any Person other than a United States person who has timely provided, on behalf of itself and/or its beneficial owners, as applicable, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and such other information (such as that it and/or its beneficial owner is not a 10% shareholder of the Company, a controlled foreign corporation to which the Company is related, or a bank extending credit to the Company in the ordinary course of its trade or business) establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, shall be free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all Taxes, other than any Taxes imposed under FATCA, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required as a result of a change in Law after the date hereof; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any forms or other information provided by a transferor or predecessor with respect to a Person shall not satisfy the requirements of this sentence with respect to such Person.
13
(ii) The Company will make all withholdings and deductions required by Law and will timely remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company will furnish to the Holder, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company, or other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Holder).
(c) The Company will pay and indemnify the beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) levied on or in connection with the execution, delivery, issuance, registration or enforcement of this Note or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.
SECTION 21. TAX MATTERS. For all U.S. federal and relevant state or local tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a tax authority or change in applicable law, the parties hereto shall not treat the Notes as contingent payment debt instruments, shall treat the accrual of interest as not constituting “contingent interest” within the meaning of Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code, and shall file all relevant Tax returns consistently with the foregoing.
SECTION 22. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by Law, unless otherwise provided herein, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.

The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable Law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such Law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any Law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.
SECTION 24. INTERPRETATION. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
