LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of March 30, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is among GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION (“GECC”), in its capacity as agent for Lenders (as defined below) (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), the financial institutions who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as lenders (together with GECC, collectively the “Lenders”, and each individually, a “Lender”), Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and the other entities or persons, if any, who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with Borrower, each a “Loan Party” and collectively, “Loan Parties”).

RECITALS

Borrower wishes to borrow funds from time to time from Lenders, and Lenders desire to make loans, advances and other extensions of credit, severally, but not jointly, to Borrower from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the definitions as provided herein. Any accounting term used but not defined herein shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, as in effect from time to time (“GAAP”) and all calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules. All other terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of New York, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “UCC”).

2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1. Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay Agent, for the ratable accounts of Lenders, when due pursuant to the terms hereof, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans, advances and other extensions of credit made severally by the Lenders to Borrower under this Agreement, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such loans, advances and other extensions of credit at the interest rates set forth herein.

2.2. Term Loans.

(a)

Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, severally, but not jointly, agrees to make term loans (each a “Term Loan” and collectively, the “Term Loans”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (as defined below) during the period from the Closing Date (as defined below) until September 30, 2011 (the “Commitment Termination Date”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s commitment as identified on Schedule A hereto (such commitment of each Lender as it may be amended to reflect assignments made in accordance with this

Agreement or terminated or reduced in accordance with this Agreement, its “Commitment”, and the aggregate of all such commitments, the “Commitments”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall not exceed $6,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”). Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Term Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of such Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the initial Term Loan shall be made on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to $3,000,000 (the “Initial Term Loan”). After the Closing Date, Borrower may, at its option, request no more than one (1) additional Term Loan and such subsequent Term Loan must be in an aggregate principal amount equal to $3,000,000 (the “Second Term Loan”), which must be funded not later than September 30, 2011.

(b)

Method of Borrowing. Other than with respect to the Initial Term Loan, when Borrower desires a Term Loan, Borrower will notify Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile (or by telephone, provided that such telephonic notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing, but in any event on or before the following Business Day) on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the day the Term Loan is to be made (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree). Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of such written or telephonic notice believed by Agent to be from any authorized officer of Borrower. Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any such written notice.

(c)

Funding of Term Loans. Promptly after receiving a request for a Term Loan other than the Initial Term Loan, Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents of such request and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Term Loan. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of the requested Term Loan and the Initial Term Loan, as applicable, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, to the Collection Account (as defined below) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the specified date. Agent shall, unless it shall have determined that one of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, has not been satisfied, by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, credit the amounts received by it in like funds to Borrower by wire transfer to, unless otherwise specified in a Disbursement Letter (as defined below), the following deposit account of Borrower (or such other deposit account as specified in writing by an authorized officer of Borrower and acceptable to Agent) (the “Designated Deposit Account”):

Bank Name: State Street Bank and Trust Company

Bank Address: 1200 Crown Colony Dr. Quincy, MA 02169

ABA#: 011000028

Account #: 17039843

Account Name: Custody Services

Ref: For final credit to account: Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. #DE2890

(d)

Notes. The Term Loans of the Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), executed by Borrower and delivered to the Lender. Each Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay to such Lender the lesser of (a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans made by such Lender to or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement or (b) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, in each case together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.3(a).

(e)

Agent May Assume Funding. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any particular Term Loan that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Term Loan, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to it on the date of such Term Loan in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.2, and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount for the account of Borrower on such date. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until the day such amount is repaid to Agent, at (i) in the case of Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.3(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a floating rate per annum equal to, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until such amount is reimbursed to Agent, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by Agent in its sole discretion (the “Federal Funds Rate”) for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the interest rate applicable to such Term Loan. If such Lender shall repay such corresponding amount to Agent, the amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s loan included in such Term Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

2.3.

Interest and Repayment.

(a)

Interest. Each Term Loan shall accrue interest in arrears from the date made until such Term Loan is fully repaid at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the Treasury Rate (as defined below) in effect on the day that is three (3) Business Days prior to the making of such Term Loan as determined by Agent and (B) 1.00% plus (ii) 8.75%. All computations of interest and fees calculated on a per annum basis shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by Agent and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. As used herein, the term “Treasury Rate” means a per annum rate of interest equal to the rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 entitled “Selected Interest Rates” under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” as the three year treasuries constant maturities rate. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Agent shall select a comparable publication to determine the U.S. Treasury note yield to maturity.

(b)

Payments of Principal and Interest.

(i) Interest Payments. For each Term Loan, Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, at the rate of interest for such Term Loan determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a) in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (each, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) commencing on the first day of the calendar month occurring after the month during which such Term Loan was made.

(ii) Principal Payments. For the Initial Term Loan, Borrower shall pay principal to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in equal consecutive

payments of $90,909.09 on each Scheduled Payment Date, commencing on January 1, 2012; provided that the final principal payment for the Initial Term Loan shall be in the amount of $90,909.12. For the Second Term Loan, Borrower shall pay principal to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in equal consecutive payments of $111,111.11 on each Scheduled Payment Date, commencing on the first day of the tenth calendar month occurring after the month during which the Second Term Loan was made.

(iii) Payments Generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(b), all unpaid principal and accrued interest with respect to any Term Loan is due and payable in full to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, on the earlier of: (A) (1) with respect to the Initial Term Loan, September 30, 2014, and (2) with respect to the Second Term Loan, the business day immediately prior to the thirty-sixth month anniversary of the day on which the Second Term Loan was made; or (B) the date that such Term Loan otherwise becomes due and payable hereunder, whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise (the earlier of (A) or (B), the “Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date”). Each scheduled payment of interest or principal hereunder is referred to herein as a “Scheduled Payment.” Without limiting the foregoing, all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date for the last Term Loan made.

(c)

No Reborrowing. Once a Term Loan is repaid or prepaid, it cannot be reborrowed.

(d)

Payments. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Loan Party under any Debt Document shall be made by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) in U.S. dollars, without setoff or counterclaim to the Collection Account (as defined below) before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date when due. All payments received by Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or at any time on a day that is not a Business Day may, in Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment required under this Agreement would otherwise be due on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. All Scheduled Payments due to Agent and Lenders under Section 2.3(b) shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s operating account specified on the Automatic Payment Authorization Agreement (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Collection Account” means the following account of Agent (or such other account as Agent shall identify to Borrower in writing):

Bank Name: Deutsche Bank

Bank Address: New York, NY

ABA Number: 021 001 033

Account Number: 50271079

Account Name: GECC HH Cash Flow Collections

Ref: Syndax Pharmaceuticals/CFN #HFS2919

(e)

Withholdings and Increased Costs. All payments shall be made free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges (other than taxes on the overall net income of any Lender and comparable taxes), such that Agent and Lenders will receive the entire amount of any Obligations (as defined below), regardless of source of

payment. If Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the introduction of or any change in, after the date hereof, any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order reduces the rate of return on Agent or such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or increases the cost to Agent or such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term Loan, then Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by Agent or such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) promptly pay to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction or for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such reduction or such increased cost submitted by Agent or such Lender (with a copy to Agent) to Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error, provided that, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to payment of any amounts under this Section 2.3(e) unless it has delivered such certificate to Borrower within 180 days after the occurrence of the changes or events giving rise to the increased costs to, or reduction in the amounts received by, Agent or such Lender; provided, further that, such 180 day limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions in the amounts received by Agent or any Lender arising from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and such Act and any such requests, rules, guidelines or directives shall be deemed to be introduced or changed after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(f)

Loan Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender resulting from such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Term Loan, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice a loan account on its books to record the Term Loans and any other extensions of credit made by Lenders hereunder, and all payments thereon made by Borrower. The entries made in such accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(g)

Payment of Expenses and other Obligations. Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, debit funds from Borrower’s operating account specified in the Automatic Payment Authorization Agreement to pay all Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due.

2.4. Prepayments. Borrower can voluntarily prepay, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, any Term Loan in full, but not in part. Upon the date of (a) any voluntary prepayment of a Term Loan in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (b) any mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan required under this Agreement (whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a sum equal to (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest with respect to such Term Loan, (ii) the Final Payment Fee (as such term is defined in Section 2.7(b)) for such Term Loan, and (iii) a prepayment premium (as yield maintenance for the loss of a bargain and not as a penalty) equal to: (i) 2.00% on the then outstanding principal amount, if such prepayment is made on or before the one year anniversary of

such Term Loan, and (ii) 1.00 % on then outstanding principal amount, if such prepayment is made after the one year anniversary of such Term Loan but before the Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date.

2.5. Late Fees. If Agent does not receive any Scheduled Payment or other payment under any Debt Document from any Loan Party within three (3) days after its due date, then, at Agent’s election, such Loan Party agrees to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, a late fee equal to (a) 5.0% of the amount of such unpaid payment or (b) such lesser amount that, if paid, would not cause the interest and fees paid by such Loan Party under this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate (as defined below) (the “Late Fee”).

2.6. Default Rate. All Term Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest, at the option of Agent or upon the request of the Requisite Lenders (as defined below), from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined below), at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) 5.0% above the rate of interest applicable to such Obligations as set forth in Section 2.3(a) immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default and (b) the Maximum Lawful Rate (the “Default Rate”). The application of the Default Rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period or waive any Default or Event of Default or otherwise limit the Agent’s or any Lender’s right or remedies hereunder. All interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

2.7. Lender Fees.

(a)

Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a non-refundable closing fee in an amount equal to $60,000, which fee shall be fully earned when paid.

(b)

Final Payment Fee. On the date upon which the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loan is repaid in full, or if earlier, is required to be repaid in full (whether by scheduled payment, voluntary prepayment, acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable accounts of Lenders, a fee equal to 3.00% of the original principal amount of such Term Loan (the “Final Payment Fee”), which Final Payment Fee shall be deemed to be fully-earned on the Closing Date.

2.8. Maximum Lawful Rate. Anything herein, any Note or any other Debt Document (as defined below) to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder and thereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by Agent and Lenders would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to Agent and Lenders limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders, and in such event Loan Parties shall pay Agent and Lenders interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Loan Parties shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent and Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the making of the Initial Term Loan as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Note or any other Debt Document.

2.9. Agent’s Right to Invest. Borrower has agreed to provide the Agent (or its affiliates or designees) the opportunity to invest up to $1,000,000 in Borrower’s next private offering of preferred stock, convertible bridge financing or other issuance of equity interest of the Borrower, subject to certain

exclusions, on terms substantially the same as those offered to MPM Bioventures IV-QP, L.P. or on terms reasonably acceptable to Agent as evidenced by the Right to Invest Letter (as defined below). This right shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

3.1. Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt payment and performance, whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Term Loans and other debt, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever of Borrower to Agent and Lenders under the Debt Documents (whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, prepayment premiums, indemnities, reimbursements or other sums, and whether or not such amounts accrue after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or after the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not allowed in such case or proceeding), absolute or contingent, now existing or arising in the future, including but not limited to the payment and performance of any outstanding Notes, and any renewals, extensions and modifications of such Term Loans (such indebtedness under the Notes, Term Loans and other debt, obligations and liabilities in connection with the Debt Documents are collectively called the “Obligations”), and as security for the prompt payment and performance by each Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations as defined in the Guaranty (as defined below), each Loan Party does hereby grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in the property listed below (all hereinafter collectively called the “Collateral”):

All of such Loan Party’s personal property of every kind and nature (except for Intellectual Property, as defined in, and to the extent excluded pursuant to, Section 3.3) whether now owned or hereafter acquired by, or arising in favor of, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, including, without limitation, all accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, financial assets, fixtures, goods, instruments, investment property (including, without limitation, all securities accounts), inventory, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, securities, supporting obligations, cash, cash equivalents, any other contract rights (including, without limitation, rights under any license agreements), or rights to the payment of money, and general intangibles, and all books and records of such Loan Party relating thereto, and in and against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to such property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, all proceeds, insurance claims, products, profits and other rights to payments not otherwise included in the foregoing (with each of the foregoing terms that are defined in the UCC having the meaning set forth in the UCC).

Each Loan Party hereby represents and covenants that such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof. Each Loan Party hereby covenants that it shall give written notice to Agent promptly upon the acquisition by such Loan Party or creation in favor of such Loan Party of any commercial tort claim after the Closing Date.

3.2. Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file UCC financing statements with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) granted hereby.

3.3. Grant of Security Interest in Proceeds of Intellectual Property. The Collateral shall not include any intellectual property of any Loan Party, which shall be defined as any and all copyright, trademark, servicemark, patent, design right, software and trade secrets of a Loan Party and any applications, registrations, amendments, renewals, extensions and improvements with respect thereto (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) now owned or hereafter acquired; provided however, that the

Collateral shall include all cash, royalty fees, claims, products, awards, judgments, insurance claims, other proceeds, accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights of payment to or on behalf of a Loan Party and all income, royalties, proceeds and liabilities at any time due or payable or asserted under and with respect to the Intellectual Property and any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, (i) all right to sue and recover at law or in equity for any past, present and future infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation or other impairment thereof and (ii) any claims for damages by way of any past, present or future infringement of any Intellectual Property, together with all accessions and additions thereto, proceeds and products thereof (including, without limitation, any proceeds resulting under insurance proceeds) or proceeds from the sale, licensing or other disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property by or on behalf of a Loan Party (“Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent it is necessary under applicable law to have a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property in order for Agent to have (i) a security interest in the Rights to Payment and (ii) a security interest in any payments with respect to Rights to Payment that are received after the commencement of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit attachment and perfection of Agent’s security interest (on behalf of itself and Lenders) in the Rights to Payment and any payments in respect thereof that are received after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

5.11. Taxes; Pension. All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any governmental authority to be filed by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have been filed with the appropriate governmental authority and all taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid), excluding taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges or other amounts which are the subject of a Permitted Contest. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Loan Party from its respective employees for all periods in compliance with applicable laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective governmental authorities.

Loan Party has withdrawn from participation in, or has permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which would reasonably be expected to result in any liability of a Loan Party, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental authority.

5.12. Full Disclosure. Loan Parties hereby confirm that all of the information disclosed on the Perfection Certificate is true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each Term Loan. No representation, warranty or other statement made by or on behalf of a Loan Party contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained therein in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. All financial performance projections delivered to Agent and Lenders by the Loan Parties, including the financial performance projections delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, represent the Borrower’s good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the liens created or purported to be created by the Debt Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Debt Document, exercise all remedies given to Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Debt Documents, applicable law or otherwise and (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Debt Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Debt Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other person (including any Lender). Any such person shall benefit from this Article 9 to the extent provided by Agent.

(c)

If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Debt Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Debt Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or any Debt Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to any potential liability under any law, statute or regulation or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Debt Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

9.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Debt Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.1; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, whether or not selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, (d) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Debt Documents; (e) shall not have any duty to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) or to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any

provision of any Debt Document, whether any condition set forth in any Debt Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default”; (f) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Debt Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Debt Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties.

9.3. GECC and Affiliates. GECC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include GECC in its individual capacity. GECC and its affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates and any person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any such Affiliate, all as if GECC were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. GECC and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GECC as a Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Term Loans and GECC as Agent, and expressly consents to, and waives, any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.4. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 6.3 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Term Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives, any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.5. Indemnification. Lenders shall and do hereby indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Debt Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Debt Document, to the

extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Loan Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.6. Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents.

9.7. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.8(e), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time upon the direction of Agent, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Agent shall endeavor to give notice of any such offset or appropriation of funds; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not adversely affect, limit or constitute a waiver of the rights or remedies of the Agent or Lenders of any kind under this Section 9.7. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Obligations. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Term Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Term Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest. The term “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Commitment of such Lender then in effect (or, if such Commitment is

terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to such Lender) by (y) the Total Commitment then in effect (or, if the Total Commitment is terminated, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to all Lenders).

9.8. Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a)

Advances; Payments. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day. To the extent that any Lender has failed to fund any such payments and Term Loans (a “Non-Funding Lender”), Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower.

(b)

Return of Payments.

(i)

If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount (including interest accruing on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligation) from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii)

If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Debt Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to a Loan Party or such other person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c)

Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Term Loan or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Term Loan, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Term Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lender” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such person, all of the Commitments and all of the outstanding Term Loans of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Term Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and

sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement (as defined below).

(d)

Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to Borrower, with notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event of Default; provided that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower is required to provide financial statements to Lenders in accordance with Section 6.3 hereto and agree that Agent shall have no duty to provide the same to Lenders.

(e)

Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Debt Documents (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1. Assignment. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.1, any Lender may make an assignment to an assignee of, or sell participations in, at any time or times, the Debt Documents, its Commitment, Term Loans or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Qualified Assignee (as defined below), require the consent of each Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) require the execution of an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent (an “Assignment Agreement”); (iii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Commitment and/or Term Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iv) be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or an affiliate of an existing Lender or is of the assignor’s (together with its affiliates’) entire interest of the Term Loans or is made with the prior written consent of Agent; and (v) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent). In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 10.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable, or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Commitments and Obligations, upon the assignee’s or the assignor’s request, Agent shall request that Borrower execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. Agent may amend Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Section.

As used herein, “Qualified Assignee” means (a) any Lender and any affiliate of any Lender and (b) any commercial bank, savings and loan association or savings bank or any other entity which is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) which extends credit or buys

loans as one of its businesses, including insurance companies, mutual funds, lease financing companies and commercial finance companies, in each case, which has a rating of BBB or higher from S&P and a rating of Baa2 or higher from Moody’s at the date that it becomes a Lender and in each case of clauses (a) and (b), which, through its applicable lending office, is capable of lending to Borrower without the imposition of any withholding or similar taxes; provided that no person proposed to become a Lender after the Closing Date and determined by Agent to be acting in the capacity of a vulture fund or distressed debt purchaser shall be a Qualified Assignee, and no person or Affiliate of such person proposed to become a Lender after the Closing Date and that holds any subordinated debt or stock issued by any Loan Party or its Affiliates shall be a Qualified Assignee.

10.2. Notices. All notices, requests or other communications given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto below such parties’ name or in the most recent Assignment Agreement executed by any Lender (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party delivered in accordance with this Section), and shall be deemed given (a) on the date of receipt if delivered by hand, (b) on the date of sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission if sent by facsimile transmission, (c) on the next Business Day after being sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier, and (d) on the fourth Business Day after being sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means and includes any day other than Saturdays, Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized to be closed.

10.3. Correction of Debt Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in all blanks in this Agreement or the Debt Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

10.4. Performance. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding, jointly and severally, upon all parties described as the “Borrower” and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns.

10.5. Payment of Fees and Expenses. Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse upon demand for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with (a) the investigation, preparation, negotiation, execution, administration of, or any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of, this Agreement or any other Debt Document, (b) any legal advice relating to Agent’s rights or responsibilities under any Loan Document, (c) the administration of the Loans and the facilities hereunder and any other transaction contemplated hereby or under the Debt Documents and (d) the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Debt Document, in each case of clauses (a) through (d), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the allocated cost of in-house legal counsel, reasonable fees and expenses of consultants, auditors (including internal auditors) and appraisers and UCC and other corporate search and filing fees and wire transfer fees. Borrower further agrees that such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.6. Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall and does hereby jointly and severally indemnify and defend Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents and affiliates (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, penalties, claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation, related reasonable attorneys’ fees and the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel) of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, no Loan Party

shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each Loan Party waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.7. Rights Cumulative. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. NONE OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY BORROWER UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AGENT, REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

10.8.

Entire Agreement; Amendments, Waivers.

(a)

This Agreement and the other Debt Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with respect to such subject matter. Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b)

Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Debt Document, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Borrower and Lenders having more than (x) 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders or (y) if such Commitments have expired or been terminated, 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Requisite Lenders”). Except as set forth in clause (c) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

(c)

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Debt Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase or decrease any Commitment of any Lender or increase or decrease the Total Commitment (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Obligation or the amount of any fees payable hereunder (other than waiving the imposition of the Default Rate), (iii) postpone the date fixed for or waive any payment of principal of or interest on any Term Loan, or any fees hereunder, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or consent to a transfer of all or substantially all of the Intellectual Property, in each case, except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Debt Documents (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (v) subordinate the lien on all or substantially all of the Collateral

granted in favor of the Agent securing the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (vi) release a Loan Party from, or consent to a Loan Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder and under the other Debt Documents or any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders) or (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive Section 8.4, 9.7 or 10.8(b) or (c).

(d)

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10.8 to the contrary, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting or modifying the rights or obligations of Agent hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Borrower, Agent and Requisite Lenders.

(e)

Each Lender hereby consents to the release by Agent of any Lien held by the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders in any or all of the Collateral to secure the Obligations upon (i) the occurrence of any Permitted Disposition pursuant to Section 7.3 and (ii) the termination of the Commitments and the payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

10.9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section and Sections 2.3(e), 9.5, 10.5 and 10.6 and the other indemnities contained in the Debt Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other Debt Documents evidencing any of the Obligations shall not affect the right of Agent to retain the Collateral for such other Obligations as may then exist or as it may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future. This Agreement and the grant of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to Section 3.1 shall automatically be reinstated if Agent or any Lender is ever required to return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations (all as though such payment had never been made).

10.10. Use of Logo. Each Loan Party authorizes Agent to use its name, logo and/or trademark in connection with certain promotional materials that Agent may disseminate to the public, but only with the prior consent of such Loan Party. The promotional materials may include, but are not limited to, brochures, video tape, internet website, press releases, advertising in newspaper and/or other periodicals, lucites, and any other materials relating the fact that Agent has a financing relationship with Borrower and such materials may be developed, disseminated and used without Loan Parties’ review. Nothing herein obligates Agent to use a Loan Party’s name, logo and/or trademark, in any promotional materials of Agent. Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any governmental authority relating to a public offering of the securities of Borrower) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to General Electric Capital Corporation, GE Healthcare Financial Services, Inc. or of any of their affiliates, the Debt Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein without at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to and the prior written consent of Agent unless, and only to the extent that, Loan Parties or such Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law and then, only after consulting with Agent prior thereto.

10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS AMONG LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND/OR LENDERS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED AMONG LOAN PARTIES, AGENT

AND/OR LENDERS. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY. THE WAIVER ALSO SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN IN REGARD TO THE VALIDITY, PERFECTION OR EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF ANY LIEN OR IN REGARD TO PROCEDURAL MATTERS AFFECTING ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIENS IN COLLATERAL, SUCH LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS SHALL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO THAT EXTENT. IF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DEBT DOCUMENT IS COMMENCED BY AGENT IN THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE AGENT AND LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY (OR ANY PROPERTY) IN THE COURT OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS.

All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

This Promissory Note is issued pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March __, 2011, among Borrower, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, and Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), is one of the Notes referred to therein, and is entitled to the benefit and security of the Debt Documents referred to therein, to which Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of all of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby were made.

The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Agreement. Interest thereon shall be paid until such principal amount is paid in full at such interest rates and at such times as are specified in the Agreement. The terms of the Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

All payments shall be applied in accordance with the Agreement. The acceptance by Lender of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.

All amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents are payable in the lawful currency of the United States of America. Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender to insert the date value as is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof.

Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and the other Debt Documents for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security interest, the terms and conditions upon which the security interest was granted and the rights of the holder of the Note in respect thereof.

Time is of the essence hereof. If Lender does not receive from Borrower payment in full of any Scheduled Payment or any other sum due under this Note or any other Debt Document within three (3) days after its due date, Borrower agrees to pay the Late Fee in accordance with the Agreement. Such Late Fee will be immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other costs, fees and expenses that Borrower may owe as a result of such late payment.

This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 2.4 of the Agreement. After an Event of Default, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Agreement.

Borrower and all parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, hereby waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agree to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including without limitation, the allocated costs of in-house counsel.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless such variation or modification is made in accordance with Section 10.8 of the Agreement. Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

General Electric Capital Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, if any, “Agent”) and certain other lenders (the “Lenders”) have entered into, or are about to enter into, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March __, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”) with Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Borrower”), pursuant to which Borrower has granted, or will grant, to Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a security interest in certain assets of Borrower, including, without limitation, all of Borrower’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts, books and records, goods, inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture and trade fixtures (such as equipment bolted to floors), together with all addition, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and proceeds, including, insurance proceeds, of the foregoing, but excluding building fixtures (such as plumbing, lighting and HVAC systems (collectively, the “Collateral”). Some or all of the Collateral is, or will be, located at certain premises known as 460 Totten Pond Road, Suite 650, in the City or Town of Waltham, County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Premises”), and Borrower occupies the Premises pursuant to a lease, dated as of [DATE], between Borrower, as tenant, and you, [NAME], as [owner/landlord/mortgagee/realty manager] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”).

By your signature below, you hereby agree (and we shall rely on your agreement) that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect and you are not aware of any existing defaults thereunder, (ii) the Collateral is, and shall remain, personal property regardless of the method by which it may be, or become, affixed to the Premises; (iii) you agree to use your best efforts to provide Agent with written notice of any default by Borrower under the Lease resulting in a termination of the Lease (“Default Notice”) and Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure such default within fifteen (15) days following Agent’s receipt of such Default Notice, (iv) your interest in the Collateral and any proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, proceeds of any insurance therefor) shall be, and remain, subject and subordinate to the interests of Agent and you agree not to levy upon any Collateral or to assert any landlord lien, right of distraint or other claim against the Collateral for any reason; (v) Agent, and its employees and agents, shall have the right, from time to time, to enter into the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral; and (vi) Agent, and its employees and agents, shall have the right, upon any default by Borrower under the Agreement, to enter into the Premises and to remove or otherwise deal with the Collateral, including, without limitation, by way of public auction or private sale (provided that, if Agent conducts a public auction or private sale of the Collateral at the Premises, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord first and to hold such auction or sale in a manner that would not unduly disrupt Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Premises). Agent agrees to repair or reimburse you for any physical damage actually caused to the Premises by Agent, or its employees or agents, during any such removal or inspection (other than ordinary wear and tear), provided that it is understood by the parties hereto that Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the removal or absence of the Collateral therefrom. You hereby acknowledge that Agent shall have no obligation to remove or dispose of the Collateral from the Premises and no action by Agent pursuant to this Consent shall be deemed to be an assumption by Agent of any obligation under the Lease and, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Agent shall not have any obligation to you.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Borrower’s granting of a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, shall not constitute a default under the Lease nor permit you to terminate the Lease or re-enter or repossess the Premises or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy available to you.

This Consent and the agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, any successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including any transferees of the Premises). This Consent shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment of Borrower’s indebtedness in full in immediately available funds and the satisfaction in full of Borrower’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement and the related documents.

This Consent and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Consent or any delivery contemplated hereby by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
