Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 22, 2024, AlTi Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Allianz Investment Agreement”) with Allianz Strategic Investments S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (“Allianz”), whereby, through a private placement of the Company’s securities, subject to the terms and conditions of the Allianz Investment Agreement, at the closing: (i) Allianz will purchase in the aggregate $250 million of the Company’s capital securities (the “Allianz Purchase Price”), consisting of (a) 140,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock to be designated Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (b) 19,318,580.96 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $5.69 per share, and (ii) the Company will issue to Allianz warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Allianz Warrants”) (collectively, the “Allianz Transaction”). The Allianz Transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2024, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, Company stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions (the “Allianz Closing”). In addition, the Company entered into a Supplemental Series A Preferred Stock Investment Agreement with Allianz (the “Supplemental Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which, for purposes of funding one or more strategic international acquisitions by the Company or its subsidiaries, Allianz is permitted, at its option, to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock up to an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000.

Concurrently with the Company’s execution of the Allianz Investment Agreement, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Constellation Investment Agreement”) with CWC AlTi Investor LLC, an affiliate of Constellation Wealth Capital, LLC (“Constellation”), whereby, through a private placement of the Company’s securities, subject to the terms and conditions of the Constellation Investment Agreement, at the initial closing: (i) Constellation will purchase 115,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock to be designated Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), representing an initial investment equal to $115 million and (ii) the Company will issue to Constellation warrants to purchase 1,533,333 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Constellation Initial Warrants”) (collectively, the “Constellation Transaction”). The initial closing of the Constellation Transaction is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions (the “Constellation Initial Closing”). Following the Constellation Initial Closing and during the period commencing May 1, 2024 until September 30, 2024, the Company is permitted to deliver a capital demand notice, requiring Constellation to purchase and acquire an additional 35,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, representing an additional investment equal to $35 million, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In the event that the Company delivers such notice to Constellation, Constellation will also receive from the Company, and the Company shall issue to Constellation, warrants to purchase 466,667 shares of Class A Common Stock (together with the Constellation Initial Warrants, the “Constellation Warrants”).

Allianz Investment Agreement

On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into the Allianz Investment Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, (a) Allianz will purchase (i) 140,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $140 million; (ii) 19,318,580.96 shares of newly issued Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $110 million; and (b) the Company will issue to Allianz the Allianz Warrants.

The Allianz Investment Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company relating to its business and operations, and customary representations and warranties of Allianz relating to its capacity to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Allianz Investment Agreement.

The parties have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to make required governmental filings and to obtain necessary governmental approvals, authorizations and consents, including in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The Allianz Investment Agreement includes customary pre-closing covenants of the Company, including, among other items, covenants not to: (i) adopt or propose changes to its organizational documents; (ii) merge or consolidate with any person, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) acquire assets or equity interests with a value or purchase price in the aggregate in excess of an agreed threshold; (iv) issue additional securities, subject to certain exceptions; (v) incur additional indebtedness above an agreed threshold, subject to certain exceptions; and (vi) materially increase the compensation or benefits, grant any new awards or hire or terminate certain employees, subject to certain exceptions.




Consummation of the Allianz Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the receipt of necessary governmental approvals, including in certain specified foreign jurisdictions; (ii) no order from any governmental entity shall prohibit the Allianz Closing and no lawsuit shall have been commenced by a governmental entity seeking to prohibit the Allianz Closing or Allianz from owning or voting the securities; (iii) compliance in all material respects with all obligations under the Allianz Investment Agreement; (iv) accuracy of the Company’s fundamental representations and warranties in all respects and the Company’s general business representations and warranties to a material adverse effect standard; (v) execution and delivery of agreements to vote in favor of the Charter Amendment (each as defined below) from holders representing 35% of the Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) outstanding in the aggregate as of the Allianz Closing; (vi) the stockholders of the Company shall have voted to approve the 20% Approval (as defined below), (vii) receipt of a waiver or amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined below) permitting the Company to use the proceeds of the Allianz Transaction for strategic investments and acquisitions; (viii) the Company shall have taken all actions necessary to establish a Transaction Committee of the Board (the “Transaction Committee”) and shall have adopted the Transaction Committee Charter (as defined below); and (ix) there shall not have occurred a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Allianz Investment Agreement requires the Board to recommend that the stockholders of the Company approve at the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company (i) the issuance of an amount of Class A Common Stock to Allianz equal to 20% or more of the pre-Allianz Transaction issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, taken together (the “20% Approval”) and (ii) the adoption of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to authorize and designate the Non-Voting Class C Common Stock (as defined below).

The Allianz Investment Agreement also requires each of the Company and Allianz to indemnify the other party and its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, members and employees for breaches of representations and warranties and breaches of covenants, among other matters. Losses for breaches of representations and warranties (other than fundamental representations) will be subject to (i) a $75,000 per claim threshold, (ii) a tipping basket equal to 1.0% of the Allianz Purchase Price whereby the indemnifying party will be liable for all losses from “dollar one” once aggregate losses exceed the basket and (iii) an aggregate cap on losses equal to 15% of the Allianz Purchase Price. The Company’s other indemnification obligations are generally capped at the Allianz Purchase Price, other than in the case of Fraud (as defined in the Allianz Investment Agreement) in connection with the express representations and warranties in the Allianz Investment Agreement and certain disclosed matters. General business representations will survive for fifteen (15) months after the Allianz Closing. Fundamental representations will survive the Allianz Closing until 60 days following expiration of the statute of limitations.

The Allianz Investment Agreement also provides for certain mutual termination rights of the Company and Allianz, including the right of either party to terminate the Allianz Investment Agreement if the Allianz Transaction is not consummated by August 22, 2024, subject to a 3-month extension in the case all conditions to the closing have been satisfied other than one or more regulatory approvals. Either party may also terminate the Allianz Investment Agreement if there is a final, non-appealable order from a governmental entity restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the proposed transaction. In addition, a party may terminate the Allianz Investment Agreement if there is an uncured material breach by the other party of the Allianz Investment Agreement, provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach.

The Allianz Investment Agreement grants certain “most favored nation” rights to Allianz with respect to future rights granted by AlTi to Constellation in connection with amendments to the arrangements contemplated by the Constellation Transaction.

On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into the Supplemental Investment Agreement, pursuant to which, for purposes of funding one or more strategic international acquisitions by the Company or its subsidiaries, Allianz is permitted, at its option, to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock up to an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000.

Each supplemental investment will generally be subject to the same closing conditions as provided in the Allianz Investment Agreement. Absent mutual agreement to extend, the Supplemental Investment Agreement will terminate on February 22, 2029.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Investment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental Investment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Allianz Investor Rights Agreement

At the Allianz Closing, the Company and Allianz will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Allianz Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Allianz will be granted certain governance rights, information rights, registration rights, and will be subject to certain restrictions with respect to the securities to be acquired by Allianz.

Pursuant to the Allianz Investor Rights Agreement, at the Allianz Closing, the size of the Board will be fixed at nine directors, and Allianz will have the right to nominate two directors (the “Investor Designees”) until such time as Allianz ceases to own at least 50% of the initial shares of Class A Common Stock acquired at the Allianz Closing (the “Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment”). For so long as Allianz is permitted to designate the Investor Designees, one Investor Designee will serve as a member of the Transaction Committee and each Investor Designee will serve as a member of at least one other Board committee. Further, during the term of the Allianz Investor Rights Agreement, an Allianz designee will serve as an observer on each committee of the Board for which an Investor Designee is not serving as a member. In the event Allianz transfers at least 50% of its shares of Class A Common Stock then-held to a single transferee (a “Major Third Party Transferee”), Allianz may elect to transfer to such Major Third Party Transferee the right to designate one nominee for appointment, election or re-election to the Board and at such time, each of Allianz and the Major Third Party Transferee will have a right to designate one nominee for appointment, election or re-election to the Board.

With respect to the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment, Allianz will be subject to a three-year lock-up period as follows: (i) for one (1) year after the Allianz Closing, none of the shares comprising the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment may be transferred; (ii) after the first anniversary of the Allianz Closing, up to 40% of the shares comprising the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment may be transferred; (iii) after the second anniversary of the Allianz Closing, up to an additional 30% of the shares comprising the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment may be transferred; and (iv) after the third anniversary of the Allianz Closing, all remaining shares comprising the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment may be transferred.

Additionally, pursuant to the Allianz Investor Rights Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock acquired by Allianz may not be transferred until the second anniversary of the Allianz Closing.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, until such time as Allianz ceases to own at least 50% of the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment, Allianz will also have customary preemptive rights subject to certain exceptions.



Until the later of (i) the third anniversary of the Allianz Closing and (ii) one year after Allianz ceases to own at least 50% of the Initial Allianz Common Stock Investment, Allianz will be subject to a customary standstill provision which will restrict a number of activities pertaining to, among other things, acquiring additional securities, making certain announcements regarding transactions involving the Company, soliciting proxies, advising or encouraging other persons and taking actions to change or influence the Board, management or the direction of certain Company matters, subject to certain customary exceptions
.
Allianz will also be subject to certain customary transfer restrictions, including in connection with any transfer to a Major Third Party Transferee.

The foregoing description of the Allianz Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Allianz Investor Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock

At the Allianz Closing, the Company will file a certificate of designations for the Series A Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) and a certificate of designations for the Series B Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) which such certificates of designations set forth the following preferences, limitations, powers and relative rights, respectively.

Series A Preferred Stock

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will receive cumulative, compounding dividends, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a rate of 9.75% per year (the “Series A Dividend Rate”), subject to annual adjustments based on the stock price of the Class A Common Stock during the fourth quarter of each applicable year (subject to a maximum rate of 9.75%). Subject to the Ownership Cap (as defined below), dividends will be paid 50% in additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and 50% in shares of the Class A Common Stock. For the first five years following the Allianz Closing, the Series A Preferred Stock will also participate with any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Common Stock.

Allianz will be subject to an ownership cap (the “Ownership Cap”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock which shall be equal to, (a) until such time as the stockholders of the Company approve the 20% Approval, beneficial ownership equal to 19.9% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the end of the trading day immediately prior to the Allianz Closings and (b) following approval by the stockholders of the Company of the 20% Approval, beneficial ownership equal to 24.9% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the end of the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination.

In the event the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, or any permitted redemption or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, would cause Allianz’s beneficial ownership, together with its affiliates, to exceed the Ownership Cap, (i) the Company will issue to Allianz a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would equal but not exceed the Ownership Cap and (ii) (a) following approval by the stockholders of the Company of the Charter Amendment, the Company will issue to Allianz all remaining shares to be issued in connection with such dividend, redemption or conversion in shares of the Company’s Class C Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Non-Voting Class C Common Stock”) or (b) if the Charter Amendment has not occurred, the Company will issue to Allianz all remaining shares to be issued in connection with such dividend, redemption or conversion in shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock will not vote on any matters with respect to which stockholders are entitled to vote. However, the Company shall not, without the prior vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, (i) alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely or (ii) take any other action upon which class voting is required by applicable law.




In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, Allianz will be entitled to receive the greater of (i) $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”) or (ii) the amount such holders would have received had they converted the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

At any time after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Allianz Closing, Allianz may elect to convert all or some of its Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the then-applicable Ownership Cap, at a conversion price equal to $8.70, subject to customary adjustments (the “Conversion Price”).

At any time after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Allianz Closing, to the extent the 20% Approval has been obtained and after the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock is equal to or greater than 175% of the Conversion Price on each of 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company can convert the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

At any time after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Allianz Closing, upon the request of Allianz, the Company must redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference calculated as of the redemption date. At any time after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Allianz Closing, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference calculated as of the redemption date.

If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) occurs at any time prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Allianz Closing and Allianz elects to convert any or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issue an additional number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) upon surrender of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion.

The number of Additional Shares, if any, issuable in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table contained in the Series A Certificate of Designations, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Class A Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

In the event of a change of control of the Company pursuant to which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive consideration in cash, securities or other assets with respect or in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock, at Allianz’s election,

i.the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted in full into shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Conversion Price and Allianz shall be entitled to receive on the effective date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”), for each share of Class A Common Stock deemed to have been acquired in such conversion, the consideration that would be payable to any holder of Class A Common Stock on a per share basis (“Change of Control Consideration”); or A
ii.Allianz shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment of the Change of Control Consideration may be made to or set aside for the holders of any junior securities, an amount in cash for each share of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by Allianz equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such Change of Control Effective Date.
The foregoing description of the Series A Certificate of Designations does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Series A Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.



Series B Preferred Stock

It is expected that shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be issued to Allianz only in the event the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, or any permitted redemption or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, would cause Allianz’s beneficial ownership, together with its affiliates, to exceed the Ownership Cap and the Charter Amendment has not been adopted. The Series B Preferred Stock will rank junior to Series A Preferred Stock and on a parity basis with Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Non-Voting Class C Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock will participate with the Class A Common Stock with respect to dividends. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Holders”) will be entitled to receive the same dividends and other distributions as are declared with respect to the Class A Common Stock, in the same amount per share, in the same manner, together with the Class A Common Stock as a single class and on a pro-rata basis. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentences or in connection with a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Holders will not be entitled to payment of dividends or distributions.

The Series B Preferred Stock will not vote on any matters with respect to which stockholders are entitled to vote under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or the Bylaws of the Company, or upon which a vote of stockholders generally entitled to vote is otherwise duly called for by the Company.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the Company, each Series B Holder will share ratably in the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, in the same amount per share and in the same manner as holders of Class A Common Stock, and together with the Class A Common Stock as a single class and on a pro-rata basis.

On the date that the stockholders of the Company approve the Charter Amendment, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into one share of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock.

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, the Series B Holders shall be converted into the right to receive the same consideration in the same amount per share and in the same manner as the Class A Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the Series B Certificate of Designations does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Series B Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Allianz Warrant Agreement

At the Allianz Closing, the Company will issue to Allianz a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The exercise price of the Allianz Warrants will be $7.40 per share of Class A Common Stock, subject to customary adjustments.

No holder of Allianz Warrants (an “Allianz Warrant Holder”) will be able to acquire or be issued shares of Class A Common Stock if such acquisition or issuance would cause such Allianz Warrant Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed the applicable Ownership Cap. If an exercise would cause an Allianz Warrant Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed the applicable Ownership Cap, (i) the Company will issue such Allianz Warrant Holder the number of Class A Common Stock that would equal but not exceed the applicable Ownership Cap and (ii) (a) following the Charter Amendment, the Company will issue the remainder as shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock or (b) if the Charter Amendment has not occurred, the Company will issue the remainder as shares of Series B Preferred Stock.




The foregoing description of the Allianz Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Allianz Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Charter Amendment

In connection with the Allianz Transaction and as required by the Allianz Investment Agreement, the Board intends to submit a proposal to the Company’s stockholders to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize and designate the Non-Voting Class C Common Stock.

The Non-Voting Class C Common Stock will not vote on any matters with respect to which stockholders are entitled to vote. However, the Company shall not, without the prior vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class (i) alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock so as to affect them adversely or (ii) take any other action upon which class voting is required by applicable law.

The Non-Voting Class C Common Stock will participate with the shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to dividends.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the Company, the holders of the Non-Voting Class C Common Stock (the “Class C Holders”) will share ratably in the distribution to stockholders of the Company, in the same amount per share and in the same manner as holders of Class A Common Stock, and together with the Class A Common Stock as a single class and on a pro-rata basis.

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company, Class C Holders will be converted into the right to receive the same consideration in the same amount per share and in the same manner as the Class A Common Stock.

The Non-Voting Class C Common Stock will be convertible at any time into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of a Class C Holder any time. No Class C Holder will have the right to convert or be issued shares to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the beneficial ownership of the Class C Holder would exceed the applicable Ownership Cap.

The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Voting Agreement

A condition to closing the Allianz Transaction is Allianz’s receipt of executed voting agreements from the holders of 35% of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing date of the Allianz Transaction (the “Voting Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each stockholder will agree to vote, at the next annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, in favor of the Charter Amendment and in favor of the election of each Investor Designee, to the extent such Investor Designee has been recommended to the stockholders by the Board.

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

Transaction Committee




At the Allianz Closing, as required by the Allianz Investment Agreement, the Board intends to establish a Transaction Committee to assist the Board in reviewing and assessing all proposals, plans or recommendations by the Company’s management with respect to any (i) potential or proposed merger, acquisition or investment (including minority investments and investments into any funds); (ii) material asset purchase (including the hiring of groups of key employees of target businesses in lieu of acquiring legal entities or property); (iii) divestiture or disposition of a material asset or a material portion of any business; and (iv) financing of any of the foregoing (each, a “Transaction Proposal”).

Each member of the Transaction Committee must abstain from voting on any Transaction Proposal in which he or she (or, in the case of the Investor Designee, Allianz, or in the case of the Shareholder Designee, IlWaddi) has a conflict of interest.

Pursuant to the Constellation Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below), Constellation shall have the right to designate one observer to the Transaction Committee.

Prior to the execution of (i) non-binding letters of intent, term sheets or the like and (ii) binding term sheets, letters of intent, commitment letters, binding offers or definitive transaction or financing agreements with regard to any Transaction Proposal, the Company’s management will submit such Transaction Proposal, as well as the required analysis of such Transaction Proposal, to the Transaction Committee for approval based on the following thresholds: (i) for Transaction Proposals with a total consideration or equity value equal to or greater than $175,000,000, a minimum of three members including the Investor Designee must vote in favor of such Transaction Proposal; (ii) for Transaction Proposals with a total consideration or equity value less than $175,000,000 but equal to or greater than $10,000,000, a minimum of any three members must vote in favor of such Transaction Proposal; and (iii) for Transaction Proposals with a total consideration or equity value of less than $10,000,000, the Transaction Committee will be informed of such Transaction Proposal and each member will have a two business day period in which to request that such Transaction Proposal be put to a vote of the Transaction Committee. If the Transaction Committee votes in favor a Transaction Proposal, such Transaction Proposal will be submitted to the Board and deemed a recommendation from the Transaction Committee that the Board approve such Transaction Proposal.

The foregoing description of the Transaction Committee Charter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Committee Charter, attached as an exhibit to the Allianz Investment Agreement.

Constellation Investment Agreement

On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into the Constellation Investment Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, (i) Constellation will purchase shares of newly issued Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million, in two tranches as described below and (ii) the Company will issue to Constellation the Constellation Warrants.

The Series C Preferred Stock will receive cumulative, compounding dividends at a rate of 9.75% per year (the “Series C Dividend Rate”), subject to annual adjustments based on the stock price of the Class A Common Stock during the fourth quarter of each applicable year (subject to a maximum rate of 9.75%) on the sum of (i) $1,000 per share plus, (ii) once compounded, any compounded dividends thereon ($1,000 per share plus accumulated compounded dividends and accrued but unpaid dividends through any date of determination, the “Accumulated Stated Value”). Dividends will be paid (at the option of the Company) as a payment in kind increase in the stated value of the issued shares of Series C Preferred Stock or in cash. The Series C Preferred Stock will also participate with any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Common Stock.

Constellation will be entitled to vote its Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration, subject to a 7.5% voting cap as specified in the Series C Certificate of Designations and except as otherwise provided by law.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, Constellation will be entitled to receive the greater of (i) the Accumulated Stated Value (the “Series C Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) the amount Constellation would have received had it converted the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

At any time after the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Constellation Initial Closing, (ii) the date the Company issues a written election notice to Constellation (a “Corporation Redemption Notice”), (iii) the date the Company issues a written notice of a proposed Fundamental Change (as defined below) (a “Fundamental Change Redemption Notice”), or (iv) the commencement of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period, Constellation may elect to convert its Series C Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Accumulated Stated Value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by (y) the Series C Optional Conversion Price, as adjusted.



The initial optional conversion price equals $8.70 (as adjusted, the “Series C Optional Conversion Price”).

Upon conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company may elect to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion (the “Cash Conversion”) in an amount equal to (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock subject to Cash Conversion multiplied by (ii) the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock for the 20 trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding date of the Notice of Conversion (as included as Annex A to the Series C Certificate of Designations). The Cash Conversion amount shall be payable in cash by the Company in immediately available funds to Constellation on the Conversion Date (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations). The Company may not elect Cash Conversion to the extent that payment of Cash Conversion amounts would be prohibited by applicable law or the terms of any agreement by which the Company is bound.

If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations) occurs and Constellation elects to convert any or all of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, issue an additional number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) upon surrender of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock for conversion.

The number of Additional Shares, if any, issuable in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table contained in the Series C Certificate of Designations, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Class A Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (other than a Fundamental Change in which the Company has made a Change of Control Election (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations)), Constellation shall have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by it (a “Fundamental Change Redemption”) for a price per share equal to the Corporation Redemption Price (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations).

A Fundamental Change occurs when: (i) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report that discloses that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Class A Common Stock; (ii) (a) the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or change of all of the Class A Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which all of the Class A Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (b) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Company pursuant to which all of the Class A Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other assets; or (c) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person or group other than any of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (iv) the Class A Common Stock (or other common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock) ceases to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange.

The Company shall have the right to redeem, from time to time, out of funds legally available, all or any portion of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (a “Corporation Redemption”) at any time on or following the third (3rd) anniversary of the Constellation Initial Closing for a price per share equal to the Corporation Redemption Price.

After the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Constellation Initial Closing, Constellation shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Put Option”), to require the Company to redeem any or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock of Constellation then-issued and outstanding, at a redemption price equal to the aggregate Accumulated Stated Value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed (such price, the “Put Price”).




Subject to certain conditions, Constellation will have the right to settle a portion of the Corporation Redemption Price or Put Price in shares of Class A Common Stock as specified in the Series C Certificate of Designations.

Constellation will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Constellation Investor Rights Agreement.

In the event of a change of control of the Company pursuant to which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive consideration in cash, securities or other assets with respect or in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock, at Constellation’s election,

i.the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted in full into shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Series C Optional Conversion Price and Constellation shall be entitled to receive on the effective date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”), for each share of Class A Common Stock deemed to have been acquired in such conversion, the consideration that would be payable to any holder of Class A Common Stock on a per share basis (“Change of Control Consideration”); or

ii.Constellation shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment of the Change of Control Consideration may be made to or set aside for the holders of any junior securities, an amount in cash for each share of then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock held by Constellation equal to the Series C Liquidation Preference as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such Change of Control Effective Date.

Declared Dividends will be payable to Holders of record as they appear in the shareholder records of the Corporation as of the end of the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable record date designated by the Board for the payment of Declared Dividends, which such date shall be not more than thirty (30) or fewer than ten (10) days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date.
(b)Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless full accrued dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock through and including the most recent Declared Dividends have been issued in the form set forth in Section 4(d), no dividend may be declared or paid or set aside for payment, and no distribution may be made, on any Junior Securities, other than a dividend payable solely in stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(e)Dividend Calculations. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12), thirty (30) calendar day periods, and shall accrue as specified in Section 4(a), and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other fund of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.
(f)Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

In the event payment of Declared Dividends in Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(d)(y) above would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap, then:
-10-





(i)first, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder, pursuant to Section 4(d)(y), a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole number, that would cause such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to equal, but not exceed, the Ownership Cap; and
(ii)second:
(A)following the Stockholder Approval relating to the Charter Amendment, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock in an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(y) (but for the operation of the Ownership Cap) less the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued pursuant to Section 4(f)(i) (the “Excess Dividend Shares”); or
(B)to the extent the Stockholder Approval relating to the Charter Amendment has not been received, then the Corporation shall issue to the Holder shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the number of Excess Dividend Shares.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(f) applies, the determination of whether payment of Declared Dividends would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, that may be issued pursuant to this Section 4(f) (taking into account (i) the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and (ii) other securities owned by such Holder, its Affiliates and any other Persons whose Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership for purposes of Section 13(d), as applicable) shall be calculated by the Corporation and such calculation shall be shared with the Holder; provided, that the Corporation shall be permitted to rely on all information provided by the Holder, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such information. In addition, group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(i)authorize, create or issue, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, or reclassify any security into, any Parity Securities or Senior Securities; or
(ii)amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the Bylaws in a manner adverse to the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.
-11-





Section 6.Liquidation. In the event of any Liquidation, after payment or provision for payment by the Corporation of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Corporation may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Securities and pari passu with any Parity Securities then outstanding, an amount in cash for each share of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared (the “Liquidation Preference”), and (b) the amount the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, in each case as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Liquidation, before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities upon or in connection with the Liquidation of the Corporation. In case the assets of the Corporation available for payment to the Holders are insufficient to pay the full outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the amounts to which the Holders of such shares are entitled pursuant to this Section 6, then the amounts distributed to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and to the holders of all Parity Securities shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of all Parity Securities, based upon the aggregate amount due on such shares upon Liquidation.
Section 7.Conversion
(a)20% Approval Optional Conversion.
(i)Effective as of the date the 20% Approval has been duly obtained (the “20% Approval Date”), solely at the Holder’s election, a portion of each Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock shall, without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder thereof, be convertible into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (the “20% Optional Conversion”), and the Corporation shall issue to the Holder, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, up to the amount that would cause each Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to equal, but not exceed, the Ownership Cap (the “20% Optional Conversion Common Shares”).
(ii)If the Holder elects to convert a portion of its Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the 20% Optional Conversion, it shall provide the Corporation with written notice of its election, within fifteen (15) Business Days following the 20% Approval Date, along with the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which the Holder intends to convert (the “20% Optional Conversion Notice”). The Corporation shall, within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the 20% Optional Conversion Notice, confirm to the Holder in writing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock is to be converted. Upon delivery to a Holder of (x) a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in the 20% Optional Conversion Notice, (y) evidence of such conversion in book entry form through electronic delivery to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization or (z) a book entry credit on the direct registration system of the Corporation’s transfer agent, in each case where the legends set forth in Section 12(a)(i) below are affixed or recorded in any such book entry, except to the extent such 20% Optional Conversion Common Shares may be issued free of restrictive legends pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) below, the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock to be converted shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation.
-12-





(b)Conversions at Option of Holder. At any time following the second (2nd) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, each share of Series A Preferred Stock still outstanding shall be convertible at the election of the Holder thereof, and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder thereof, into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation equal to the quotient of (i) the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. A Holder shall effect a conversion by providing the Corporation (whether via electronic mail or otherwise) a written conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) executed by the Holder. Any Notice of Conversion delivered by mail shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Corporation receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to the Corporation shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of any other shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be three (3) Trading Days immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion is received by the Corporation. Upon delivery to a Holder of (x) a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in the Notice of Conversion, (y) evidence of such conversion in book entry form through electronic delivery to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization or (z) a book entry credit on the direct registration system of the Corporation’s transfer agent, in each case where the legends set forth in Section 12(a)(i) below are affixed or recorded in any such book entry, except to the extent such shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued free of restrictive legends pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) below, the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation.
(c)Mandatory Conversion by the Corporation. At any time (i) following the third (3rd) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, (ii) to the extent the VWAP is at least equal to one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the Conversion Price (as such Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 8) on each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days commencing following the third (3rd) anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (iii) receipt of the 20% Approval, the Corporation shall have the right, without the consent of or any action by or on behalf of any Holder, and solely without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder thereof, to cause all or any portion of the Holder’s then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to be converted into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (the “Corporation Conversion Right”). In the event the Corporation elects to exercise the Corporation Conversion Right, the Corporation shall provide each subject Holder of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock with written notice of its intention to cause the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, within thirty (30) days following the completion of the applicable Trading Period (the “Corporation Conversion Period”), along with (1) the effective Conversion Date of the Corporation Conversion Right which such Conversion Date shall be no sooner than fifteen (15) Trading Days following the completion of the applicable Trading Period, (2) the applicable Conversion Price and (3) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock is to be converted (the “Corporation Conversion Notice”). Upon delivery to a Holder of (x) a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in the Corporation Conversion Notice, (y) evidence of such conversion in book entry form through electronic delivery to the Holder’s account at DTC or a similar organization or (z) a book entry credit on the direct registration system of the Corporation’s transfer agent, in each case where the legends set forth in Section 12(a)(i) below are affixed or recorded in any such book entry, except to the extent such 20% Optional Common Shares may be issued free of restrictive legends pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) below, the Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation. If the Corporation does not exercise a Corporation Conversion Right during the Corporation Conversion Period, then the restrictions provided for in this Section 7(c) shall again become effective, and no Corporation Conversion Right may be exercised unless and until the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock is again at least equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Conversion Price (as such Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 8) on each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days.
-13-





(d)Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, no Holder shall have the right to acquire or be issued shares of Class A Common Stock, whether pursuant to a purchase, dividend, conversion, issuance or otherwise, and the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, whether pursuant to a Notice of Conversion or Corporation Conversion Notice, or otherwise issue shares of Class A Common Stock to a Holder, in each case to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase, dividend, conversion or issuance, the Beneficial Ownership of the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) would exceed the Ownership Cap. In the event the issuance of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 7(c) above would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap, then:
(i)first, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder, pursuant to Section 7(b) or, in the event the Corporation elects to exercise the Corporation Conversion Right, Section 7(c), a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole number, that would cause such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to equal, but not exceed, the Ownership Cap; and
(ii)second:

(B)to the extent the Stockholder Approval relating to the Charter Amendment has not been received, then the Corporation shall issue to the Holder shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the number of Excess Conversion Shares.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7(d) applies, the determination of whether the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with a conversion would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, that may be issued (taking into account (i) the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and (ii) other securities owned by such Holder, its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership for purposes of Section 13(d), as applicable) shall be calculated by the Corporation and such calculation shall be shared with the Holder; provided, that the Corporation shall be permitted to rely on all information provided by the Holder, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such information.
-14-





In addition, group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e)Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, not less than such number of shares of the Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.
Section 8.Certain Adjustments and Other Rights.
(a)General. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Price to the extent the Series A Preferred Stock participates on an as-converted basis with respect to any dividend, distribution, issuance or other payment set forth in this Section 8 or if Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock otherwise participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock and solely as a result of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 8(a), without having to convert their Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 7(c) (determined without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained therein):
(i)The issuance of Class A Common Stock as a dividend, or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination of Class A Common Stock or a reclassification of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CP1 = CP0 × (OS0 / OS1)
where:
CP1 = the new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, in each case without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable; and
-15-





OS1 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board irrevocably announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared.
(ii)The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan), options or warrants (including convertible securities) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance, in which event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CP1 = CP0 × [(OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y)]
where:
CP1 = the new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
X = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance; and
Y = the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.
For purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Corporation receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance.
-16-





In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.
(iii)If the Corporation distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets (including cash) or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, excluding:
(A)dividends or distributions as to which adjustment is required to be effected pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) or (ii) above;
(B)rights issued to all holders of the Class A Common Stock pursuant to a rights plan, where such rights are not presently exercisable, trade with the Class A Common Stock and the plan provides that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will receive such rights along with any Class A Common Stock received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock;
(C)dividends or distributions in which Series A Preferred Stock participates on an as-converted basis; and
(D)Spin-Offs described below in this clause (iii),

then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1
=
CP0
×

SP0 – FMV
SP0

where,
CP1 =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; Any decrease made under the portion of this clause (iii) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
SP0 =    the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
-17-





FMV =    the fair market value (as determined by the Board in good faith) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, securities, assets (including cash) or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be increased to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without having to convert its Series A Preferred Stock, the amount and kind of the Capital Stock, evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, other assets (including cash) or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities of the Corporation that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at the Conversion Price in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this clause (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (iii) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation that will be, upon distribution, listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1
=
CP0
×

MP0
FMV + MP0

where,
CP1 =    Conversion Price in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
CP0 =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV = the average of the Closing Prices of the Equity Securities or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Class A Common Stock applicable to one share of the Class A Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Closing Price as set forth as if references therein to Class A Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
-18-





MP0 =    the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
Any adjustment to the Conversion Price under the preceding paragraph of this clause (iii) shall be made immediately after the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period. If the Conversion Date for any share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted occurs on or during the Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock over the Valuation Period, in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without having to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount and kind of Capital Stock or similar equity interest that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at the Conversion Price in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
(iv)If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Class A Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1
=
CP0
×

SP1 × OS0
AC + ( SP1 × OS1 )

where,
CP1 =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
CP0 =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
AC =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board in good faith) paid or payable for shares purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;
SP1 = the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock of over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/ Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
-19-





OS1 =    the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date (adjusted to give effect to the purchase or exchange of all shares accepted for purchase in such tender offer or exchange offer); and
OS0 =    the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer).
Provided, however, that the Conversion Price will in no event be adjusted up pursuant to this Section 8(a)(iv). The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 8(a)(iv) will be calculated as of the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. If the Conversion Date for any share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted occurs on or during the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.
(v)If there shall occur any reclassification, statutory share exchange, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation with or into another Person in which the Class A Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (excluding a merger solely for the purpose of changing the Corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation) including a Fundamental Change (without limiting the rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to any Fundamental Change) (a “Reorganization Event”), then, subject to Section 6 and, unless otherwise provided in Section 11, following any such Reorganization Event, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and be convertible into the number, kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 8(a)(v) set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8(a)(v) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Without limiting the Corporation’s obligations with respect to a Fundamental Change, the Corporation (or any successor) shall, no less than twenty (20) calendar days prior to the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the expected occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that each share of Series A Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into under this Section 8(a)(v). Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 8(a)(v). The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless, to the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event, or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event.
-20-





(vi)To the extent that any stockholders’ rights plan adopted by the Corporation is in effect upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will receive, in addition to any Class A Common Stock due upon conversion, the appropriate number of rights, if any, under the applicable rights agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time). However, if, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the shares of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholders’ rights plan, the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation distributed to all holders of the Class A Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, securities, assets or property as described in clause (iii) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
(b)Adjustment Upon Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(i)If the Event Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date and a Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock elects to convert any or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issue an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) upon surrender of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion as described in this Section 8(b). A conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Corporation during the period from the open of business on the Event Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days following the Event Effective Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Event Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).
(ii)The number of Additional Shares, if any, issuable in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on:
(A)the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Event Effective Date”) and
(B)the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as described in the succeeding paragraph (the “Stock Price”).
If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share.
-21-





Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices per share of the Class A Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Event Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its reasonable and good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Price that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or expiration date of the event occurs during such five Trading Day period.
(i)The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Price is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal (A) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price as so adjusted. The Additional Shares issuable upon conversion set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Price as set forth in this Section 8 (b).
(ii)The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section Section 8(b) for each Stock Price and Event Effective Date set forth below:
Year 5.82 6.00 6.25 7.25 8.70 10.50 12.50 15.00 20.00 30.00 50.00 100.00 200.00
0 56.8746 54.6383 51.7856 42.6814 33.7770 26.6352 21.4248 17.0773 11.8950 6.9520 3.1876 0.6764 0.0000
1 56.8746 52.7500 49.7504 40.3090 31.3195 24.3371 19.3928 15.3707 10.6845 6.2857 2.9342 0.6492 0.0000
2 56.8746 50.1017 46.8720 36.8897 27.7460 20.9933 16.4464 12.9033 8.9320 5.2923 2.5166 0.5799 0.0000
3 56.8746 47.3333 43.6576 32.5517 22.9391 16.4286 12.4472 9.5933 6.6060 3.9527 1.9168 0.4609 0.0000
4 56.8746 45.7467 41.0944 27.2731 16.2540 10.0352 7.0400 5.2847 3.6530 2.2207 1.0998 0.2777 0.0000
5 56.8746 45.7467 41.0944 22.9848 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000
The exact Stock Price or Event Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(C)if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Event Effective Date is between two Event Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Event Effective Dates in the table above, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be;
(D) if the Stock Price is greater than $200 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be issued; and
(E)if the Stock Price is less than $5.82 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be issued.
(iii)Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall prevent any other adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 8(b) in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
-22-





(iv)Upon the occurrence of an Event Effective Date with respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall notify holders of Series A Preferred Stock in writing of the Event Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the current Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(c)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 8, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no case will any adjustment be made if it would result in an increase to the then effective Conversion Price.
(d)Condition. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8.
(e)Successive Adjustments. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Conversion Price made hereunder would reduce the Conversion Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Conversion Price made hereunder shall reduce the Conversion Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
(f)No Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, the Conversion Price will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made:
(i)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Class A Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Corporation bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;
(ii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;
(iii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security, including the Series A Preferred Stock; or
(iv)for a change in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
-23-





(g)Notice. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment, compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price was determined and setting forth such applicable adjusted Conversion Price.
Section 9.Redemption.
(a)Put Right. At any time following the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Redemption Restriction Period”), upon the request of any Holder, the Corporation shall redeem (unless otherwise prevented by law) any portion of such Holder’s Beneficially Owned Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference calculated as of the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).
(b)Call Right. At any time following the Redemption Restriction Period, at the Corporation’s election, the Corporation may redeem in full but not in part (unless otherwise prevented by law) all of the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share in cash equal to the Redemption Price. Notice of any redemption pursuant to the foregoing sentence (a “Redemption Notice”) shall be given by electronic mail or otherwise addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such Redemption Notice shall be at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption. Any Redemption Notice delivered by mail shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series A Preferred Stock or any depositary shares representing interests in the Series A Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through DTC or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each such notice given to a Holder shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price; and (3) that dividends will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.
(c)Redemption Mechanics.
(i)With respect to redemptions pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), the Corporation shall determine the redemption date (the “Redemption Date”); provided, however, that such date must be no more than thirty 30 days following delivery of the Redemption Notice. Upon the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall promptly pay the Holders the Redemption Price.
(ii)Prior to a Redemption Date pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), the Corporation shall deposit all funds necessary for payment of the aggregate Redemption Price of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock not yet redeemed or converted with a bank or trust corporation, separate and apart from its other assets, having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000 as a trust fund for the benefit of the respective Holders, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to pay the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective Holders upon the Redemption Date. As of the Redemption Date, the shares shall be redeemed and shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the rights to receive from the bank or trust corporation payment of the Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon the Redemption Date. Such instructions shall also provide that any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 9(c) for the redemption of shares converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations subsequent to the deposit, shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion. The balance of any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 9(c) remaining unclaimed at the expiration of one (1) year following the Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to the Corporation upon its request.
-24-





(iii)If the assets of the Corporation legally available or available without breach of any credit agreement to which the Corporation is then a party (after taking into account all available payment baskets under such agreement) for redemption are insufficient to pay the Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they are entitled, such Holders shall share ratably according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of such shares to be redeemed by the Holders thereof, if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full and, following the Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Corporation become legally available to redeem the remaining shares, the Corporation shall use such assets to pay the remaining balance of the aggregate Redemption Price, as applicable.
(iv)If, on any Redemption Date, all of the shares elected to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption are not redeemed in full by the Corporation by paying the entire applicable Redemption Price then, until such shares are fully redeemed and the aggregate Redemption Price is paid in full, all of the unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and continue to have the rights, preferences and privileges expressed herein, including the accrual and accumulation of dividends thereon as provided in Section 4; provided that the applicable Dividend Rate on all of the unredeemed shares shall automatically increase by 2.00% per annum on (and effective as of) the applicable Redemption Date and shall continue to be 15% per annum until such time as the full Redemption Price, as applicable, has been paid in full in respect of all shares to be redeemed.
Section 10.Transfer Restrictions. Each Holder shall be subject to Article III of the Investor Rights Agreement.
Section 11.Change of Control.
(a)In connection with a Change of Control pursuant to which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive consideration in cash, securities or other assets with respect to, or in exchange for, shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Holder’s election (a “Change of Control Election”) and effective as of immediately prior to the Change of Control, (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted in full into shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Conversion Price and each Holder shall be entitled to receive on the effective date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”), for each share of Class A Common Stock deemed to have been acquired in such conversion, the Change of Control Consideration (as defined below) or (ii) such Holder shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment of the Change of Control Consideration may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Securities, an amount in cash for each share of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the Liquidation Preference as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Change of Control Effective Date. At such time as the Corporation has paid the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, or deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, in respect of a share of Series A Preferred Stock with its transfer agent, such share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation.
-25-





(b)On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the Change of Control Effective Date (or, if later, promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur), a written notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Corporation, which notice shall contain (i) the anticipated Change of Control Effective Date, or date on which the Change of Control has occurred, (ii) the calculation of the consideration that would be payable to such Holder on the Change of Control Effective Date (provided that in no event shall such consideration on a per share basis be less than, or in a different form than, the consideration that would be payable to any holder of Class A Common Stock on a per share basis) (the “Change of Control Consideration”), (iii) the calculation of the Liquidation Preference that would be payable to such Holder on the Change of Control Effective Date, and (iv) the instructions a Holder must follow to receive the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, in connection with such Change of Control.
(c)Contemporaneously with the closing of any Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the amount of such Holder’s Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be.
(d)Until a share of Series A Preferred Stock is cancelled by the payment or deposit in full of the applicable Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 11, such share of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein and nothing in this Section 11 shall limit a Holder’s right to deliver a Notice of Conversion and exercise its right to convert prior to the Change of Control Effective Date, to the extent otherwise permissible in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that no such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock following the Change of Control Effective Date.
(e)With respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted or otherwise liquidated at the Holder’s election pursuant to this Section 11 for which the Corporation has paid the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, or deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, in respect of such share with its transfer agent, (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate other than the rights of the Holder thereof to receive the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, therefor.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, in the event of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall only pay the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, required above after paying in full in cash all obligations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries under any credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money (including the termination of all commitments to lend, to the extent required by such credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement), which requires prior payment of the obligations thereunder (and termination of commitments thereunder, if applicable) as a condition to the Change of Control.
Section 12.Miscellaneous.
-26-





(a)Legends on Shares of Class A Common Stock; Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i)
(A)Each share of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be in book-entry form, and the Holder’s ownership thereof shall be appropriately evidenced in the stock register of the Corporation, which stock register entry and receipt given to the Holder in respect of any such shares of Class A Common Stock shall contain the following notation of restrictions:
“THE SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE TRANSFER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
In addition, such legend or notation shall include the following language:
“THE SHARES AND CERTAIN OTHER SECURITIES OF ALTI GLOBAL, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) ARE SUBJECT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO, DATED AS OF [●], AS IT MAY BE AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME. THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE VOTING AND TRANSFER OF THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, GIFT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. THE HOLDERS OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.”
(ii)The Holders agree that they will, if requested by the Corporation, deliver at their expense to the Corporation an opinion of reputable U.S. counsel selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that any transfer of such shares of Class A Common Stock made, other than in connection with an offering registered under the Securities Act by the Corporation or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, does not require registration under the Securities Act. At such time as such shares of Class A Common Stock may be freely sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder or the shares of Class A Common Stock are freely transferable without volume and manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Corporation agrees that it will promptly after the later of the delivery of an opinion of reputable U.S. counsel selected by the Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a replacement stock certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class A Common Stock that is free from the legend set forth in clause (i) above (or in the case of uncertificated shares of Class A Common Stock, free of any notation in book-entry or other arrangement).
-27-





(iii)The Holder understands that the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designation are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws as they are being acquired from the Corporation in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder represents and covenants that the Series A Preferred Stock has been purchased for investment only and not with a view to distribute or resale, and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless the Series A Preferred Stock or the shares of the Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designations are registered under the Securities Act, any other applicable securities law, or the Corporation has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that registration is not required.
(b)Uncertificated Shares. The Corporation shall issue the Series A Preferred Stock in uncertificated form. If DTC discontinues providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or if DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained within ninety (90) days, the Corporation will either print and deliver certificates for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or provide for the direct registration of the Series A Preferred Stock with the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock.
(c)Maturity. The Series A Preferred Stock will be issued as perpetual securities with no fixed maturity date and except as set forth in Section 9, the Holders will not have any rights to require the Corporation to redeem, repurchase or retire the Series A Preferred Stock at any time.
(d)Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to deliver fractional shares of Class A Common Stock to the Holders whether pursuant to any dividend, conversion or otherwise. In the Corporation’s sole discretion, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Corporation to be issued upon payment of a Declared Dividend or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, the Holders will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date, Dividend Payment Date or other applicable date of determination.
-28-





(e)Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities, if any. However, in the case of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to a Beneficial Owner other than the Beneficial Owner of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder on its Preferred Stock, the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent may deduct and withhold on cash dividends, shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or sale proceeds paid, subsequently paid or credited with respect to such Holder or his successors and assigns as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and, to the extent the applicable Holder has not contributed to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding as provided for in this Section 12(e), may sell all or a portion of such withheld Series B Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, Class A Common Stock by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. The Corporation and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such other person to reduce or eliminate (including by obtaining a refund of) such deduction or withholding. Upon reasonable request in writing by the Corporation, the Holders shall provide the Corporation (and any applicable withholding agent) with any relevant tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8. To the extent that the Corporation is required to pay a taxing authority any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of the Preferred Stock, the Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, or the Class A Common Stock other than in respect of a cash payment being made on the Preferred Stock, the Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, or the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this agreement from which taxes may be deducted or withheld, the applicable Holder in respect of whom such withholding is required to be made shall timely contribute to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding taxes required to be paid before the date such taxes are required to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 12(d), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this agreement as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12(d), unless there has been a change in applicable law after the date of this Certificate of Designations or a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)) to the contrary, (i) it is intended that the Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and (ii) no Holder shall be required to include in income as a dividend (including any deemed dividend) for U.S. federal income tax purposes any income or gain in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock unless and until dividends are declared and paid in cash in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that if the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent deducts or withholds from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder as a result of treating the Series A Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” for purposes of Section 305 of the Code, the sum payable by the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12(e)), the applicable Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
-29-





(f)Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 520 Madison Ave., 26th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: General Counsel or such other address or facsimile number as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 12(d).

(h)Status of Converted, Redeemed, Repurchased or Cancelled Shares. If any share of Series A Preferred Stock is converted, redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, in any manner whatsoever, the share of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, redeemed, repurchased or acquired shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be retired and cancelled upon such conversion, redemption, repurchase or acquisition. Any share of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, redeemed, repurchased or acquired shall, upon its retirement and cancellation, and upon the taking of any action required by applicable law, become an authorized but unissued share of Series A Preferred Stock.

(ii)second:
(A)following the 20% Approval Date, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder for each remaining share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding one (1) share of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock.

(a)Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities, if any. However, in the case of conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to a Beneficial Owner other than the Beneficial Owner of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder on its Preferred Stock, the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent may deduct and withhold on cash dividends, shares of Class A Common Stock or sale proceeds paid, subsequently paid or credited with respect to such Holder or his successors and assigns as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and, to the extent the applicable Holder has not contributed to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding as provided for in this Section 9(a), may sell all or a portion of such withheld Class A Common Stock by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. The Corporation and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such other person to reduce or eliminate (including by obtaining a refund of) such deduction or withholding. Upon reasonable request in writing by the Corporation, the Holders shall provide the Corporation (and any applicable withholding agent) with any relevant tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8. To the extent that the Corporation is required to pay a taxing authority any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of the Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock other than in respect of a cash payment being made on the Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this agreement from which taxes may be deducted or withheld, the applicable Holder in respect of whom such withholding is required to be made shall timely contribute to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding taxes required to be paid before the date such taxes are required to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 9(a), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this agreement as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9(a), unless there has been a change in applicable law after the date of this Certificate of Designations or a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)) to the contrary, (i) it is intended that the Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and (ii) no Holder shall be required to include in income as a dividend (including any deemed dividend) for U.S. federal income tax purposes any income or gain in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock unless and until dividends are declared and paid in cash in respect of such Series B Preferred Stock; provided, that if the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent deducts or withholds from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder as a result of treating the Series B Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” for purposes of Section 305 of the Code, the sum payable by the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 9(a)), the applicable Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Uncertificated Shares. The Corporation shall issue the Series B Preferred Stock in uncertificated form. As long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Series B Preferred Stock, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock for all purposes under the instruments governing the rights and obligations of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If DTC discontinues providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or if DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained within ninety (90) days, the Corporation will either print and deliver certificates for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or provide for the direct registration of the Series A Preferred Stock with the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock.
(c)Status of Converted, Redeemed, Repurchased or Cancelled Shares. If any share of Series B Preferred Stock is converted, redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, in any manner whatsoever, the share of Series B Preferred Stock so converted, redeemed, repurchased or acquired shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be retired and cancelled upon such conversion, redemption, repurchase or acquisition. Any share of Series B Preferred Stock so converted, redeemed, repurchased or acquired shall, upon its retirement and cancellation, and upon the taking of any action required by applicable law, become an authorized but unissued share of Series B Preferred Stock.
(d)Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 520 Madison Ave., 26th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: General Counsel or such other address or facsimile number as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 9(d).

Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (ii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(e)Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.
(f)Record Holders. Subject to Section 9(b), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation and the Corporation’s transfer agent may deem and treat the record Holder as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(g)Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(h)Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designations and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(i)Severability. The provisions of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Certificate of Designations and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
(j)Other Rights. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

        (ii) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the shares Class C Non-Voting Common Stock as provided in paragraph (i) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock.

Any decrease made under the portion of this clause (iii) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Optional Conversion Price shall be increased to be the Optional Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without having to convert its Series C Preferred Stock, the amount and kind of the Capital Stock, evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, other assets (including cash) or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities of the Corporation that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible at the Optional Conversion Price in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this clause (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (iii) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation that will be, upon distribution, listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Optional Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock over the Valuation Period, in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without having to convert its shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the amount and kind of Capital Stock or similar equity interest that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible at the Optional Conversion Price in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
(iv)If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Class A Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Optional Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

(v)If there shall occur any reclassification, statutory share exchange, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation with or into another Person in which the Class A Common Stock (but not the Series C Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (excluding a merger solely for the purpose of changing the Corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation) including a Fundamental Change (without limiting the rights of the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to any Fundamental Change) (a “Reorganization Event”), then, subject to Section 6 and, unless otherwise provided in Section 11, following any such Reorganization Event, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and be convertible into the number, kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a Holder of such share of Series C Preferred Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Optional Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 8(a)(v) set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8(a)(v) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Optional Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Without limiting the Corporation’s obligations with respect to a Fundamental Change, the Corporation (or any successor) shall, no less than twenty (20) calendar days prior to the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock of the expected occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that each share of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into under this Section 8(a)(v). Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 8(a)(v). The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless, to the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event, or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event.
(vi)To the extent that any stockholders’ rights plan adopted by the Corporation is in effect upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock will receive, in addition to any Class A Common Stock due upon conversion, the appropriate number of rights, if any, under the applicable rights agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time). However, if, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the shares of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholders’ rights plan, the Optional Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation distributed to all holders of the Class A Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, securities, assets or property as described in clause (iii) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
(b)Adjustment Upon Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(i)If (i) the Event Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock elects to convert any or all of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, issue an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) upon surrender of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock for conversion as described in this Section 8(b). A conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Corporation during the period from the open of business on the Event Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days following the Event Effective Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Event Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).

(ii)The number of Additional Shares, if any, issuable in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on:
(A)the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Event Effective Date”) and
(B)the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as described in the succeeding paragraph (the “Stock Price”).

If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices per share of the Class A Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Event Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its reasonable and good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Optional Conversion Price that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Optional Conversion Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or expiration date of the event occurs during such five Trading Day period.
(i)The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Optional Conversion Price is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal (A) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Optional Conversion Price immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Optional Conversion Price as so adjusted. The Additional Shares issuable upon conversion set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Optional Conversion Price as set forth in this Section 8 (b).

(C)if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Event Effective Date is between two Event Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Event Effective Dates in the table above, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be;
(D) if the Stock Price is greater than $200 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be issued; and
(E)if the Stock Price is less than $5.82 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be issued.
(iii)Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall prevent any other adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 8(b) in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(iv)Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice. Upon the occurrence of an Event Effective Date with respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall notify holders of Series C Preferred Stock in writing of the Event Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the current Optional Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(c)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 8, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no case will any adjustment be made if it would result in an increase to the then effective Optional Conversion Price.
(d)Condition. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8.
(e)Successive Adjustments. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Optional Conversion Price made hereunder would reduce the Optional Conversion Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Conversion Price made hereunder shall reduce the Optional Conversion Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
(f)No Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, the Optional Conversion Price will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Optional Conversion Price will be made:

(ii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;

(g)Notice. Whenever the Optional Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment, compute the adjusted Optional Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Optional Conversion Price was determined and setting forth such applicable adjusted Optional Conversion Price.
Section 9.Redemption.
(a)Fundamental Change Redemption. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (other than a Fundamental Change in which the Corporation is entitled to make and has made a Change of Control Election pursuant to Section 11), each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Corporation to redeem, and the Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder (a “Fundamental Change Redemption”) for a price per share equal to the Corporation Redemption Price. In connection with a Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall provide to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Redemption Notice”) at least prior to the twentieth (20th) calendar day prior to the date on which the Corporation anticipates consummating a Fundamental Change (or if later and subject to this Section 9(a), promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Fundamental Change has or may occur). In the event a Holder elects to require the Corporation to effect a Fundamental Change Redemption, notice thereof must be received by the Corporation no later than the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Date. Any such Fundamental Change Redemption shall occur on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Change and in accordance with the Fundamental Change Redemption Notice, if such notice is received by the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock at least five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change (solely in the case of the Corporation discovering a Fundamental Change may occur following the twenty (20) calendar day period above and within five (5) Business Days after the consummation of such Fundamental Change if the Corporation shall discover the occurrence of such Fundamental Change at a later date). To receive the Corporation Redemption Price, a Holder must comply with Section 9(i). In exchange for the cancellation of shares of Series C Preferred Stock of their certificate or certificates, if any, or a valid and binding affidavit of loss, representing such shares on or after the applicable Fundamental Change Redemption Date in accordance with Section 9(i) below, the Corporation Redemption Price for the shares being redeemed shall be payable in cash by the Corporation in immediately available funds to the respective holders of the Series C Preferred Stock (or, to the extent permitted by Section 9(g), in shares of Class A Common Stock).

(h)Insufficient Funds; Remedies For Nonpayment.
(i)Insufficient Funds. If, on any Redemption Date, the assets of the Corporation legally available or available without breach of any credit agreement to which the Corporation is then a party (after taking into account all available payment baskets under such agreement) are insufficient to pay the full Redemption Price or Put Price, as applicable, for the total number of shares to be redeemed, the Corporation shall redeem out of all such assets legally available therefor on the applicable Redemption Date the maximum possible number of shares that it can redeem on such date, pro rata among the Holders of such shares to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate number of shares to be redeemed by each such Holder on the applicable Redemption Date. In addition, following the applicable Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Corporation become legally available to redeem the remaining shares, the Corporation shall use such assets to pay the remaining balance of the aggregate applicable Corporation Redemption Price or Put Price, as applicable.

If, on any Redemption Date, all of the shares elected to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption are not redeemed in full by the Corporation by paying the entire applicable Corporation Redemption Price or Put Price (after giving effect to the Share Settlement Option) then, until such shares are fully redeemed and the aggregate Corporation Redemption Price or Put Price is paid in full, all of the unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and continue to have the rights, preferences and privileges expressed herein, including the accrual and accumulation of dividends thereon as provided in Section 4; provided that the applicable Dividend Rate on all of the unredeemed shares shall automatically increase by 2.00% per annum on (and effective as of) the applicable Redemption Date and shall continue to increase up to 15% per annum until such time as the full Corporation Redemption Price or Put Price, as applicable (after giving effect to the Share Settlement Option), has been paid in full in respect of all shares to be redeemed.
(i)Surrender of Certificates. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such shares to the Corporation in the manner and place designated in the Fundamental Change Redemption Notice or Corporation Redemption Notice or as instructed by the Corporation after receipt of a Put Notice, as applicable, or to the Corporation’s corporate secretary at the Corporation’s headquarters, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or, in the event such certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, shall deliver an affidavit of loss, in the manner and place designated in the Fundamental Change Redemption Notice or Corporation Redemption Notice or as instructed by the Corporation after receipt of a Put Notice, as applicable.

At such time as the Corporation has paid the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, or deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, in respect of a share of Series C Preferred Stock with its transfer agent, such share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall thereafter cease to represent any entitlement or equity interest in the Corporation.

(c)Contemporaneously with the closing of any Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the amount of such Holder’s Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be.
(d)Until a share of Series C Preferred Stock is cancelled by the payment or deposit in full of the applicable Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 11, such share of Series C Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein and nothing in this Section 11 shall limit a Holder’s right to deliver a Notice of Conversion and exercise its right to convert prior to the Change of Control Effective Date, to the extent otherwise permissible in accordance with this Certificate of Designations; provided, that no such shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock following the Change of Control Effective Date.
(e)With respect to any share of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted or otherwise liquidated at the Holder’s election pursuant to this Section 11 for which the Corporation has paid the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, or deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, in respect of such share with its transfer agent, (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate other than the rights of the Holder thereof to receive the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, therefor.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, in the event of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall only pay the Change of Control Consideration or Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, required above after paying in full in cash all obligations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries under any credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money (including the termination of all commitments to lend, to the extent required by such credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement), which requires prior payment of the obligations thereunder (and termination of commitments thereunder, if applicable) as a condition to the Change of Control.

(B)In addition, such legend or notation shall include the following language:
“THE SHARES AND CERTAIN OTHER SECURITIES OF ALTI GLOBAL, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) ARE SUBJECT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO, DATED AS OF [●], AS IT MAY BE AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME. THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE VOTING AND TRANSFER OF THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, GIFT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. THE HOLDERS OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.”
(ii)The Holders agree that they will, if requested by the Corporation, deliver at their expense to the Corporation an opinion of reputable U.S. counsel selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that any transfer of such shares of Class A Common Stock made, other than in connection with an offering registered under the Securities Act by the Corporation or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, does not require registration under the Securities Act. At such time as such shares of Class A Common Stock may be freely sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder or the shares of Class A Common Stock are freely transferable without volume and manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Corporation agrees that it will promptly after the later of the delivery of an opinion of reputable U.S. counsel selected by the Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in the case of certificated shares of Class A Common Stock, the delivery by the Holders to the Corporation or its transfer agent of a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class A Common Stock issued with the legend set forth in clause (i) above, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a replacement stock certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class A Common Stock that is free from the legend set forth in clause (i) above (or in the case of uncertificated shares of Class A Common Stock, free of any notation in book-entry or other arrangement).
(iii)The Holder understands that the Series C Preferred Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designation are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws as they are being acquired from the Corporation in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Series C Preferred Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder represents and covenants that the Series C Preferred Stock has been purchased for investment only and not with a view to distribute or resale, and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless the Series C Preferred Stock or the shares of the Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designations are registered under the Securities Act, any other applicable securities law, or the Corporation has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that registration is not required.

(iv)Prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, the Holder shall furnish to the Corporation such certificates, representations, agreements and other information, as the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent reasonably may require, including but not limited to such opinion of counsel required by the Corporation’s transfer agent in order to remove any restrictive legends or notations.
(b)Uncertificated Shares. The Corporation shall issue the Series C Preferred Stock in uncertificated form. The Corporation shall not issue stock certificates unless specifically requested by a Holder upon written request.

(e)Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities, if any. However, in the case of conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to a Beneficial Owner other than the Beneficial Owner of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder on its Preferred Stock, the Corporation or an applicable withholding agent may deduct and withhold on cash dividends, shares of Class A Common Stock or sale proceeds paid, subsequently paid or credited with respect to such Holder or his successors and assigns as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and may sell all or a portion of such withheld Class A Common Stock by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. The Holders shall provide the Corporation (and any applicable withholding agent) with any relevant tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8, or any similar information. To the extent that the Corporation is required to pay a taxing authority any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of the Series C Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock other than in respect of a cash payment being made on the Series C Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations from which taxes may be deducted or withheld, the applicable Holder in respect of whom such withholding is required to be made shall timely contribute to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding taxes required to be paid before the date such taxes are required to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 12(d), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Certificate of Designations as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Except as otherwise required by a change of law after the date hereof, it is intended that (i) the Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and (ii) no Holder shall be required to include in income as a dividend (including any deemed dividend) for U.S. federal income tax purposes any income or gain in respect of the Series C Preferred Stock unless and until Dividends are declared and paid in cash in respect of such Series C Preferred Stock.

(g)Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.
(h)Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation and the Corporation’s transfer agent may deem and treat the record Holder as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The provisions of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Certificate of Designations and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
(n)Other Rights. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation, as provided by applicable law or as specified in any other written agreement between any Holder of Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation.

The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 3.Registration of Transfers.

    -6-




At 5:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding, without any action by or on behalf of any Holder, the Corporation or any other Person.

The date on which the Exercise Notice is delivered to the Corporation (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date”. Within five (5) Trading Days following the delivery of the Exercise Notice (the “Payment Deadline”), the Holder shall make payment with respect to the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised; provided that the Corporation’s obligations to deliver such Warrant Shares shall be delayed on a dayforday basis each day after the Payment Deadline such payment of the Exercise Price is not paid. If the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Corporation for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Corporation. If the Holder does not exercise the Warrant in its entirety, the Holder will be entitled to receive from the Corporation within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three (3) Trading Days, a New Warrant in substantially identical form for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the difference between the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was exercised.
Section 5.Delivery of Warrant Shares. (a) Subject to Section 4(b), upon exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall promptly (but in no event later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Exercise Date (or the fourth (4th) Trading Day if the last of the Exercise Notice, the Exercise Price (if applicable) and opinion of counsel referred to below in Section 17(a) is delivered after 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Exercise Date) (such time, the “Delivery Deadline”) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in the name of the Holder as set forth in the Warrant Register (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization or (iii) a book entry credit on the direct registration system of the Corporation’s transfer agent, in each case where the legends set forth in Section 17(a)(i) below are affixed or recorded in any such book entry, except to the extent such Warrant Shares may be issued free of restrictive legends pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii) below. The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date with respect thereto. If the Warrant Shares can be issued without restrictive legends, the Corporation shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Corporation shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same.
    -7-




Section 6.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of the Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liabilities that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or distribution to a Holder (whether upon the distribution of the Warrants under this agreement, upon any adjustment made pursuant to Section 9, upon exercise, or otherwise), the Corporation, the Warrant Agent or their agents may deduct and withhold such amount by withholding a portion or all of the Warrants or Warrant Shares otherwise deliverable or by otherwise using any property (including, without limitation, Warrants, Warrant Shares or cash) that would otherwise be delivered to or is owned by such Holder, in each case in such amounts as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and, to the extent the applicable Holder has not contributed to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding as provided for in this Section 6, may sell all or a portion of such withheld Warrants, Warrant Shares or such other property by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. The Corporation and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such other person to reduce or eliminate (including by obtaining a refund of) such deduction or withholding. Upon reasonable request in writing by the Corporation, the Holders shall provide the Corporation (and any applicable withholding agent) with any relevant tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8. To the extent that the Corporation is required to pay a taxing authority any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of the Warrants or Warrant Shares other than in respect of a cash payment being made on the Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to this agreement from which taxes may be deducted or withheld, the applicable Holder in respect of whom such withholding is required to be made shall timely contribute to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding taxes required to be paid before the date such taxes are required to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 6, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this agreement as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 7.Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Corporation covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, not less than such number of Warrant Shares as shall be issuable upon the exercise in full of this Warrant. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable. If at any time prior to the Exercise Date, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
    -8-




Section 8.Certain Adjustments.
(a)The Exercise Price will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustment to the Exercise Price if Holders of this Warrant participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock and solely as a result of holding this Warrant, in any transaction described in this Section 8(a), without having to exercise their Warrant, as if they held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Warrant held by such Holder is exercisable:
(i)The issuance of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination of Class A Common Stock or a reclassification of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in which event the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 × (OS0 / OS1)
where:
EP1 = the new Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
EP0 = the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, in each case without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) irrevocably announces that such event shall not occur, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared.
(ii)The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan), options or warrants (including convertible securities) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance, in which event the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
    -9-




EP1 = EP0 × [(OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y)]
where:
EP1 = the new Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
EP0 = the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
X = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Closing Price as of Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance; and
Y = the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.
For purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Corporation receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.
(b)All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 8, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no case will any adjustment be made if it would result in an increase to the then-effective Exercise Price.
    -10-




(c)If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than actions described in this Section 8, which, in the good faith opinion of the Board, would materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price for the Warrant and/or the number of Warrant Shares received upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted for the Holder’s benefit, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, and at such time, as the Board after consultation with the Holder shall reasonably determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(d)The Corporation will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation.
(e)Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Trading Days following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment, compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holder of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Exercise Price was determined and setting forth such applicable Exercise Price.
(f)As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 8.
(g)Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
(h)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, the Exercise Price will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made:
(i)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Class A Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Corporation bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;
(ii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;
    -11-




(iii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security, including the Warrants; or
(iv)for a change in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
Section 9.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Corporation or, alternatively, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B) / A]
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;
A = equals the VWAP for the last thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date; provided, however, that in the event this Warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 12 in connection with a Change of Control, A shall equal the greater of (i) the VWAP for the last thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date and (ii) the value ascribed to the consideration to be paid in respect of one share of the Warrant Shares in the definitive agreement(s) relating to such Change of Control, if any; and
B = equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Section 10.Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).
Section 11.Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, no Holder shall have the right to acquire or be issued shares of Class A Common Stock, whether pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, and the Corporation shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant or otherwise issue shares of Class A Common Stock to a Holder, in each case to the extent that after giving effect to such acquisition or issuance, the Beneficial Ownership of the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) would exceed the Ownership Cap. In the event exercise of this Warrant and issuance of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap, then:
(a)first, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder, pursuant to a valid Exercise Notice, a number of Warrant Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number, that would cause such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to equal, but not exceed, the Ownership Cap; and
    -12-




(b)second:
(i)following the approval of the adoption of the Charter Amendment by the stockholders of the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock in an amount equal to (x) the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to such valid Exercise Notice (but for the operation of the Ownership Cap) less the number of Warrant Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to Section 11(a) (the “Excess Warrant Shares”); or
(ii)to the extent the stockholders of the Corporation have not approved the adoption of the Charter Amendment, then the Corporation shall issue to the Holder shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the number of Excess Warrant Shares.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 11 applies, the determination of whether exercise of this Warrant would cause a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Ownership Cap and the number of Warrant Shares, if any, that may be issued (taking into account other securities owned by such Holder, its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d)) shall be calculated by the Corporation and such calculation shall be shared with the Holder; provided, that the Corporation shall be permitted to rely on all information provided by the Holder, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such information. In addition, group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 12.Change of Control.
(a)On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to a Change of Control pursuant to which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive consideration in cash, securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock (or, if later, promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Change of Control has or may occur), a written notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Corporation, which notice shall contain (i) the anticipated effective date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”), or date on which the Change of Control has occurred, and (ii) the amount to which holders of record of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled in exchange of their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (the “Change of Control Consideration”).s
(b)Following receipt of a Change of Control Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Change of Control Consideration; provided, however, that upon the election of the Holder, and by delivering written notice thereof, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and shall neither automatically expire nor terminate as of the Change of Control.
(c)In the case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Class A Common Stock, Non-Voting Class C Common stock or Series B Preferred Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business
    -13-




Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Class A Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then, subject to the Ownership Cap, such Holder shall have the right to make a similar election upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Holder will receive upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 13.Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 520 Madison Ave., 26th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: General Counsel or such other address or facsimile number as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 13. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (ii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 14.Warrant Agent. The Corporation shall serve as Warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Holder, the Corporation may appoint a new Warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor Warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor Warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as Warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
Section 15.Miscellaneous.
(a)Legends on Warrant Shares; Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i)

THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE VOTING AND TRANSFER OF THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

THE HOLDERS OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.”
(ii)The notations required by Section 15(a)(i)(A) shall be removed by the Corporation upon request without charge as to any Warrant Shares (i) when, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, such restrictions are no longer required in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act or the Investor Rights Agreement or (ii) when such Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act.
(iii)The Holder understands and agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are restricted securities under the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that it shall not transfer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except in compliance with the Securities Act, any other applicable securities or “blue sky laws” and the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

(d)Amendment and Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Corporation and the Holder, or their respective successors and permitted assigns.

USActive 60304834.6    -6-




The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date with respect thereto. If the Warrant Shares can be issued without restrictive legends, the Corporation shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Corporation shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.

Section 6.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of the Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liabilities that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or distribution to a Holder (whether upon the distribution of the Warrants under this agreement, upon any adjustment made pursuant to Section 9, upon exercise, or otherwise), the Corporation, the Warrant Agent or their agents may deduct and withhold such amount by withholding a portion or all of the Warrants or Warrant Shares otherwise deliverable or by otherwise using any property (including, without limitation, Warrants, Warrant Shares or cash) that would otherwise be delivered to or is owned by such Holder, in each case in such amounts as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and, to the extent the applicable Holder has not contributed to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding as provided for in this Section 6, may sell all or a portion of such withheld Warrants, Warrant Shares or such other property by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. The Corporation and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such other person to reduce or eliminate (including by obtaining a refund of) such deduction or withholding. Upon reasonable request in writing by the Corporation, the Holders shall provide the Corporation (and any applicable withholding agent) with any relevant tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8. To the extent that the Corporation is required to pay a taxing authority any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of the Warrants or Warrant Shares other than in respect of a cash payment being made on the Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to this agreement from which taxes may be deducted or withheld, the applicable Holder in respect of whom such withholding is required to be made shall timely contribute to the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the full amount of any such withholding taxes required to be paid before the date such taxes are required to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 6, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this agreement as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 7.Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Corporation covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, not less than such number of Warrant Shares as shall be issuable upon the exercise in full of this Warrant. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable. If at any time prior to the Exercise Date, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
Section 8.Certain Adjustments.
(a)The Exercise Price will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustment to the Exercise Price if Holders of this Warrant participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock and solely as a result of holding this Warrant, in any transaction described in this Section 8(a), without having to exercise their Warrant, as if they held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Warrant held by such Holder is exercisable:
(i)The issuance of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination of Class A Common Stock or a reclassification of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in which event the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 × (OS0 / OS1)
where:
EP1 = the new Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
EP0 = the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the record date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, in each case without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) irrevocably announces that such event shall not occur, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared.
USActive 60304834.6    -8-




(ii)The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan), options or warrants (including convertible securities) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance, in which event the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 × [(OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y)]
where:
EP1 = the new Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
EP0 = the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance;
X = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Closing Price as of Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance; and
Y = the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.
For purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Closing Price as of Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Corporation receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the record date for such dividend, distribution or issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.

(b)All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 8, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no case will any adjustment be made if it would result in an increase to the then-effective Exercise Price.
(c)If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than actions described in this Section 8, which, in the good faith opinion of the Board, would materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price for the Warrant and/or the number of Warrant Shares received upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted for the Holder’s benefit, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, and at such time, as the Board, after consultation with the Holder, shall reasonably determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(d)The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation.
(e)Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Trading Days following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment, compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holder of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Exercise Price was determined and setting forth such applicable Exercise Price.
(f)As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 8.
(g)Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
(h)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, the Exercise Price will not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made:
(i)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Class A Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Corporation bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;
USActive 60304834.6    -10-




(ii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs;
(iii)upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security, including the Warrants; or
(iv)for a change in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
Section 9.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Corporation or, alternatively, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B) / A]
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;
A = equals the VWAP for the last thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date; provided, however, that in the event this Warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 12 in connection with a Change of Control, A shall equal the greater of (i) the VWAP for the last thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date and (ii) the value ascribed to the consideration to be paid in respect of one share of the Warrant Shares in the definitive agreement(s) relating to such Change of Control, if any; and
B = equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Section 10.Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).
Section 11.Voting Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall any Holder, together with its Affiliates and any other Persons whose Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (“Aggregation Parties”), account for more than 9.9% of the aggregate voting power of the Class A Common Stock at any time (the “Voting Cap”) to the extent that Beneficial Ownership of aggregate voting power in excess of the Voting Cap would require any filing or notice under any applicable Regulatory Laws that has not been made and, if so made, for which the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period has not occurred.
USActive 60304834.6    -11-




Section 12.Change of Control.
(a)On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to a Change of Control pursuant to which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive consideration in cash, securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock (or, if later, promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur), a written notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Corporation, which notice shall contain (i) the anticipated effective date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”), or date on which the Change of Control has occurred, and (ii) the amount to which holders of record of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled in exchange of their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (the “Change of Control Consideration”).
(b)Following receipt of a Change of Control Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Change of Control Consideration; provided, however, that upon the election of the Holder, and by delivering written notice thereof, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and shall neither automatically expire nor terminate as of the Change of Control.
(c)In the case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Class A Common Stock, the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Class A Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Class A Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then such Holder shall have the right to make a similar election upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Holder will receive upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 13.Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 520 Madison Ave., 26th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: General Counsel or such other address or facsimile number as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 13.

Section 14.Warrant Agent. The Corporation shall serve as Warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Holder, the Corporation may appoint a new Warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Corporation or any new Warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor Warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act.

Section 15.Miscellaneous.

(A)Each share certificate representing Warrant Shares shall be in book-entry form, and the Holder’s ownership thereof shall be appropriately evidenced in the stock register of the Corporation, which stock register entry and receipt given to the Holder in respect of any such Warrant Shares shall contain the following notation of restrictions:
“THE SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE TRANSFER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”

USActive 60304834.6    -13-




THE HOLDERS OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.”
(ii)The notations required by Section 15(a)(i)(A) shall be removed by the Corporation upon request without charge as to any Warrant Shares (i) when, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, such restrictions are no longer required in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act or the Investor Rights Agreement or (ii) when such Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act.
(iii)The Holder understands and agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are restricted securities under the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that it shall not transfer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except in compliance with the Securities Act, any other applicable securities or “blue sky laws” and the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

(c)Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Governmental Approvals determined by the Corporation to be required or advisable and such other agreements between the Corporation and a Holder, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Corporation in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Corporation’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. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(i)Severability.

If any provision of this Warrant, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Warrant and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Warrant is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company agrees that if the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals shall not have been obtained at any such Company annual meeting, then, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all necessary actions to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals at each subsequent meeting of its stockholders until such approval of each of the Stockholder Proposals has been obtained, including inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in subsequent proxy statements (each such proxy statement, together with the Initial Proxy Statement, an “Applicable Proxy Statement”).

In connection therewith, Purchaser shall be offered the opportunity to receive the same rights and/or seniority granted by the Company in any such Amended Arrangement, whether entered into as of the date hereof or hereafter (in the case of seniority, in a manner that preserves the seniority of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock relative to all other classes of outstanding Capital Stock). Purchaser shall be deemed to reject any such offer, unless, within twenty (20) business days after receiving the final execution version of such Amended Arrangement, it delivers written notice to the Company accepting some or all of the additional rights offered in such Amended Arrangement. However, if Purchaser accepts any such offer, in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly enter into such agreements, including any relevant amendments or modifications of existing agreements, which Purchaser may reasonably request.

-44-



(a)From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members and employees from and against any and all Proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, (2) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or (3) the matter set forth in Section 4.2(a)(3) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
(b)From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, partners, members and employees from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of Purchaser’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) Purchaser’s breach of agreements or covenants made by Purchaser in this Agreement.
(c)A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 4.2 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if the action, suit, claim or proceeding does not seek any injunctive or equitable relief or any criminal penalties, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the defense thereof at its own expense and through counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party by giving notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such claim notice from the Indemnified Party, unless the counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding, (B) provides solely for the payment of money damages and not any injunctive or equitable relief or criminal penalties and (C) does not create any financial or other obligation on the part of an Indemnified Party which would not be indemnified in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(d)The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(1) (other than with respect to any Company Fundamental Representations, which shall not be subject to the following limitations), (1) with respect to any claim for indemnification if the amount of Losses with respect to such claim (including a series of related claims) are less than $75,000 (any claim involving Losses less than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”) and (2) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(1) exceed an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Company shall be responsible for the entirety of such Losses. Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(1), (A) with respect to any De Minimis Claim and (B) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(1) exceed the Threshold Amount, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for only the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount. The cumulative indemnification obligation of (1) the Company to Purchaser and all of the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) Purchaser or (2) Purchaser to the Company and the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) the Company, in each case pursuant to (i) Section 4.2(a)(1) (other than with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any Company Fundamental Representations) or Section 4.2(b)(1), as applicable, shall in no event exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price, (ii) Section 4.2(a)(1)-(2) or Section 4.2(b), as applicable, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price and (iii) to Section 4.2(a)(3) shall be unlimited.
(e)Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.2 for breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or other agreement can only be brought on or prior to the date on which such representation or warranty or covenant or other agreement would otherwise expire pursuant to Section 6.1; provided that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.2 for breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or other agreement is brought prior to the end of such period, then the obligation to indemnify in respect of such breach shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.
(f)The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.2 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Indemnified Parties for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or any other breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit in any way any such party’s remedies in respect of Fraud by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages except to the extent (i) such damages (other than punitive damages) were reasonably foreseeable as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein, or (ii) such damages are awarded to a third party by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment not subject to appeal in connection with a third party claim. “Fraud” means actual fraud under the laws of the State of Delaware (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, constructive fraud, equitable fraud or promissory fraud or negligent misrepresentation or omission, or any form of fraud based on recklessness or negligence) with respect to, in the case of the Company, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 and, in the case of Purchaser, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3.
-46-



(g)Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable Law.
(h)In all cases in calculating the amount of any Loss with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein and for purposes of determining a breach or an inaccuracy, such representations and warranties (other than those representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(i)(c)) and shall be read without regard to any materiality qualifier (including any reference to Material Adverse Effect) contained therein.
(i)The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually received from any third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party as an offset against such Loss (each third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”) ; provided that the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.2 shall also be computed on an after-tax basis, which takes into account both any Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, withholding Taxes) paid by an Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to any indemnity payment and any Tax benefit actually realized by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates that is attributable to such Loss. If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under this Section 4.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 4.2 had such determination been made at or prior to the time of such payment.
(j)The provisions of this Section 4.2 are not intended to permit duplicate recoveries on the same Loss.
1.3Transfer Taxes. Upon the Closing, the Company shall be liable for hundred (100%) of any United States and non-U.S. federal, state, and local sales, use, transfer, excise, stamp, conveyance, documentary transfer, recording, registration, filing or other similar Taxes which are required to be paid in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer of the Securities to be issued, sold and transferred to Purchaser hereunder and the Warrant (“Transfer Taxes”). The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and timely prepare any Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Company will prepare and timely file all Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes. Purchaser will file any other Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes required to be filed by the Purchaser. The party that files such Tax Return (“Filing Party”) shall furnish to the other party (“Non-Filing Party”) a copy of any such Tax Return and a copy of a receipt showing payment of any such Transfer Taxes within ten (10) business days of availability of such receipt.
-47-



The Non-Filing Party shall pay to the Filing Party all Transfer Taxes that it owes pursuant to this Section 4.3 within five (5) business days of written demand from the Filing Party, provided that no payment shall be required more than three (3) days before the Transfer Tax is required to be paid.
1.4Tax Matters.
(a)Unless there has been a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement or a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) to the contrary, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall treat or report the Series A Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” for purposes of Section 305 of the Code.
(b)The Company shall engage an independent accounting firm or other valuation expert of recognized national standing in the United States, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, to provide before closing an allocation of the investment among the instruments acquired. Such allocation as determined pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall be binding on the Company and Purchaser for all tax purposes.
(c)If, at any time during which any instruments issued in the Investment are owned by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, the Company reasonably expects that it will become a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Purchaser in writing of such expected change in tax status before such change in tax status occurs. Subject to 30-day notice by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, and if permitted by applicable Law, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser and its Affiliates may request, and the Company shall provide within a reasonable period of time but no later than three business days before the date of any disposition by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates of any portion of the Investment, a duly executed statement, pursuant to Treasury regulations Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c), which shall confirm that an interest in the Company is not and has not been a United States real property interest (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith) because the Company is not, and has not been, a United States real property holding corporation (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith) at any time during the applicable period specified by Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code ending on the date specified in the Purchaser’s request. Upon issuance of such statement, the Company acknowledges and agrees to submit a copy of the statement to the IRS, along with a duly executed notice pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), and any supplemental statement required pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(5), within 30 days after providing the statement to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates.
1.5Confidentiality.
(a)Purchaser agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed:
(1)to Purchaser’s Representatives or to any financial institution providing credit to Purchaser, to any prospective transferee of Purchaser or to any investor or potential investor or partner of Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of such Confidential Information by such persons that would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5(a) and that any such recipient of Confidential Information is subject to a customary confidentiality agreement (i) with confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2023, by and between Allianz X GmbH and the Company or (ii) in a form otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion;
-48-



(2)to the extent required by applicable Law (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes to which Purchaser is subject) or regulatory authority or rating agency to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is subject or with which it has regular dealings; provided that Purchaser agrees to give the Company prompt notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief (and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with such efforts by the Company at the Company’s expense, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such Law);
(3)if the prior written consent of the Company shall have been obtained;
(4)among the directors of the Company in their capacities as members of the Board of Directors;
(5)to any prospective Permitted Transferee (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) of Purchaser and such prospective Permitted Transferees’ Representatives in connection with any proposed Transfer (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) that complies with the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement during any period of time that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that each such prospective Permitted Transferee has entered into a customary confidentiality agreement (i) with confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2023, by and between Allianz X GmbH and the Company or (ii) in a form otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion; or
(6)to the extent related to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the foregoing does not constitute an authorization to disclose the identity of any existing or future party to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or their Affiliates or Representatives.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent (i) the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order and to the requirement that Purchaser seek to use the minimum amount reasonably necessary) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the Company or Purchaser or (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates from purchasing or selling the securities of other institutions in the financial services industry so long as such purchases and sales are effected in accordance with applicable securities Laws. Purchaser shall be subject to the foregoing restrictions for so long as Purchaser is a stockholder of the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter.
-49-



(b)“Confidential Information” means any information concerning the Company or any persons that are or become its Subsidiaries or the financial condition, business, operations or prospects of the Company or any such persons (including any information regarding any transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary is or proposes to be engaged, including any information with respect to any other party or proposed party to such transaction) in the possession of or furnished to Purchaser (including by virtue of its present or former right to designate a director) and the terms of this Agreement; provided that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, investors, members, partners, agents, counsel, auditors, investment bankers, investment or financial advisers or other advisors or representatives (all such persons being collectively referred to as “Representatives”) in violation of this Agreement, (ii) as shown by written records, was available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Purchaser or its Representatives by the Company or (iii) becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company after the disclosure of such information to Purchaser or its Representatives by the Company, which source is (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Company or another person or (iv) is independently developed by Purchaser without violating any confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the Company (and, in the case of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, not in connection with their duties as an employee).
1.6Company Opportunities.
(a)The Company understands that Purchaser and its Affiliates are or may become interested, directly or indirectly, in various other businesses and undertakings, some of which may be similar in nature to the business of the Company. The Company agrees that Purchaser and its Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest, directly or indirectly, in any business venture of any nature or description for their own account, independently or with others, and subject to Section 4.6(c) below, may do so without any accountability or any obligation to afford to the Company any opportunity to participate therein. In the event that Purchaser, any Purchaser Nominee and each of its and their respective Affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, none of Purchaser, any Purchaser Nominee and each of its and their respective Affiliates shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or to refrain from pursuing or acquiring such corporate opportunity for its own benefit, unless, with respect to a Purchaser Nominee only, failure to take such action, or refrain from doing so, as the case may be, would violate the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(b)None of Purchaser, any Purchaser Nominee and each of its and their respective Affiliates shall be liable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or stockholders of the Company for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that Purchaser, the Purchaser Nominee and each of its and their respective Affiliates pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company, provided that, in the case of the Purchaser Nominee, such Purchaser Nominee has otherwise abided with the requirements of Section 4.6(c).
(c)Notwithstanding Section 4.6(a), if any Purchaser Nominee is presented with any potential transaction or corporate opportunity expressly in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors (a “Company Opportunity”), then such Purchaser Nominee shall be required to first present such Company Opportunity to the Company prior to the Purchaser Nominee’s pursuit of, or investment in, such Company Opportunity, and shall not pursue such Company Opportunity unless and until declined by the Company.

No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party, in whole or in part, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

FORM OF TRANSACTION COMMITTEE CHARTER


(i)This Transaction Committee Charter was adopted by the Board of Directors of AlTi Global, Inc. on [●], 2024.
I.General Statement of Purpose
The purposes of the Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of AlTi Global, Inc. (the “Company”) are to assist the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in reviewing and assessing all proposals, plans or recommendations by the Company’s management with respect to any (i) potential or proposed merger, acquisition, investment (including minority investments and investments into any funds), (ii) material asset purchase (including the hiring of groups of key employees of target businesses in lieu of acquiring legal entities or property) (with such threshold of “material” as determined by the Committee from time to time), (iii) divestiture or disposition of a material asset or a material portion of any business (with such threshold of “material” as determined by the Committee from time to time), and (iv) financing of any of the foregoing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Transaction (as that term is defined in the Capital Allocation & Joint Venture Committee Charter) recommended by the Capital Allocation & Joint Venture Committee of the Company (each, a “Transaction Proposal”). Any Transaction Proposal of the Company must be submitted by the Company’s management to the Committee prior to being pursued. Additionally, the Committee shall have the right to review and assess any proposals or recommendations by the Company’s management to hire certain advisors, as described in Section IV.C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person or entity, a merger or consolidation of another person or entity with or into the Company or the sale, transfer, or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, any recapitalization or reclassification of the Company or any other transaction that would result in a change of control of the Company and (b) any employment or staffing decisions made in the ordinary course of business that do not result in (1) the expansion of the Company’s existing business into new business lines or products or (2) the expansion of the Company’s current geographic operations into new geographic markets subject to regulatory regimes to which the Company is not already subject, including the solicitation and hiring or termination of employees or any retention arrangements, are not subject to the review of the Committee.
II.Composition
A.Voting Members.
The Committee shall have four (4) voting members, comprising: (1) the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, so long as such CEO is a Director, (2) an Investor Designee (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of [●], 2024, by and between the Company and Allianz Strategic Investments S.à.r.l. (the “Investor”)) for so long as the Investor is permitted to designate at least one Investor Designee on the Board, (3) the Shareholder Designee (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement dated as of January 3, 2023, by and between Cartesian Growth Corporation and IlWaddi Cayman Holdings (“IlWaddi”)) for so long as IlWaddi is permitted to designate at least one Shareholder Designee on the Board and (4) the Chairperson of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee of the Board.
C-1



Each member of the Committee shall serve for such term or until earlier resignation, removal, or death. In the case of the Investor Designee and Shareholder Designee such member of the Committee may be replaced or removed by its designating party with or without cause. Resignation or removal of a Director from the Board, for whatever reason, shall automatically constitute resignation or removal, as applicable, from the Committee. Vacancies, for whatever reason, may be filled only by the Board; provided, however, that in the case of a vacancy of an Investor Designee and the Shareholder Designee, such vacancy must be filled, to the extent possible, by an alternative Investor Designee or Shareholder Designee, respectively. The Board shall designate one member of the Committee to be Chair (the “Chair”) of the Committee.
Any member of the Committee shall abstain from voting on any Transaction Proposal in which he or she, or, in the case of (x) the Investor Designee, the Investor or (y) the Shareholder Designee, IlWaddi has a conflict of interest.
B.Non-Voting Observers:
In addition to the voting members, CWC AlTi Investor LLC (“CWC”) for so long as CWC is permitted, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2024, by and between CWC and the Company, to designate a non-voting observer to the Committee shall be permitted to designate one (1) non-voting observer to attend any meetings of the Committee (each an “Observer”).
The Observer may be replaced or removed by its designating party with or without cause. Resignation or removal of a Director or observer from the Board, for whatever reason, shall automatically constitute resignation or removal, as applicable, as an Observer.
The Chair shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each Observer (a) notice of Committee meetings no later than, and using the same form of communication as, notice of Committee meetings are furnished to the members, and (b) copies of the materials with respect to meetings of the Committee which are furnished to Committee members no later than such materials are furnished to such members; provided that failure to deliver notice or materials to an Observer in connection with such Observer’s right to attend and/or review materials with respect to any Committee meeting shall not impair the validity of any action taken by the Committee at such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to exclude any Observer from access to any materials provided to the Committee members or meeting or portion thereof if the Committee believes that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect confidential proprietary information, to comply with regulatory restrictions, or otherwise to prevent any material harm or detriment to the Company.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Observers shall not count for purposes of determining a quorum and shall not vote on any matter presented to the Committee.
III.    Meetings
The Committee shall meet on an ad hoc basis and will endeavor to meet within five (5) business days of receipt of a Transaction Proposal. The Committee can meet in person or by video or telephone conference or such other means by which all participants in the meeting can hear each other.
C-2



A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for purposes of holding a meeting and the Committee may act by vote of a majority of members present at a meeting, subject to the limitations set forth in Section IV.D, as applicable. The Committee may act by unanimous written consent (which may be communicated by email) in lieu of a meeting. The Chair, in consultation with the other members and management, shall set meeting agendas consistent with this Committee Charter (the “Charter”). The Committee will keep adequate minutes of its meetings and proceedings and records of unanimous written consents, and will report on its activities and actions at the subsequent regular Board meeting.
IV.Responsibilities and Authority
A.Review of Charter. The Committee shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and submit any proposed amendments or modifications to the Board for approval; provided, however, than any such amendment is contingent upon the approval of the Investor Designee for so long as the Investor is permitted to designate at least one Investor Designee.
B.Annual Performance Evaluation of the Committee. At least annually, the Committee shall evaluate its own performance and report the results of such evaluation to the Board.
C.Advisor Engagement Proposal. The Committee shall have the right to review and, by majority vote or unanimous written consent, approve any proposal from the Company’s management to (i) hire any legal, financial, accounting, commercial and other professional advisors on behalf of the Company to advise on or otherwise diligence the transactions described in any Transaction Proposal or (ii) otherwise incur external expenses or costs with respect to the transactions described in any Transaction Proposal (each, an “Advisor Engagement Proposal”).
D.Matters Relating to Transaction Proposals:
1.This Charter contemplates five stages in Transaction Proposal activity: (i) initial engagement and exploratory discussions; (ii) valuation discussions; (iii) execution of a non-binding letter of intent, term sheet or the like; (iv) execution of a binding letter of intent, term sheet or the like, a binding offer or definitive agreements; and (v) integration and performance of consummated transactions. The Company’s management shall, subject to Section IV.C, have the authority to engage in initial engagement and exploratory discussions for any Transaction Proposal and shall report these discussions to the Committee as discussions progress to a point where a Transaction Proposal appears to be a reasonable possibility. Additionally, the Company’s management shall, subject to Section IV.C, have the authority to engage in non-binding valuation discussions with the relevant counterparty in respect of any Transaction Proposal. Prior to the execution of any (i) non-binding letter of intent, term sheet or the like and (ii) any binding letter of intent, term sheet or the like, any binding offer, or any definitive agreements with regard to any Transaction Proposal, the Company’s management shall submit such Transaction Proposal to the Committee for approval. Together with the submission of any Transaction Proposal to the Committee, the Company’s management shall, subject to Section IV.C, provide the Committee with a written short-form analysis describing all relevant key considerations of the legal, compliance, risk management, treasury, accounting, tax, strategy and information technology and cybersecurity department with respect to such Transaction Proposal in a form reasonably acceptable to the Committee (each, a “Transaction Analysis”). The Company’s management may, to the extent reasonably practicable, submit to the Committee an Advisor Engagement Proposal together with a Transaction Proposal to enter into non-binding term sheets, letters of intent or the like as a combined proposal which shall be subject to the Committee’s approval in accordance with this Section D only.
C-3



2.In order for the Company’s management to proceed with implementing, executing, or otherwise pursuing execution of (i) non-binding letters of intent, term sheets or the like and (ii) binding term sheets, letters of intent, commitment letters, binding offers or definitive transaction or financing agreements with regard to any Transaction Proposal, the following approvals from the Transaction Committee must be received following receipt by the Committee of the relevant Transaction Analysis:
a.In the case of a Transaction Proposal with a total consideration or equity value equal to or greater than $175,000,000, a minimum of three members of the Committee including the Investor Designee must vote in favor of such Transaction Proposal;
b.In the case of a Transaction Proposal with a total consideration or equity value less than $175,000,000 but equal to or greater than $10,000,000, a minimum of any three members of the Committee must vote in favor of the Transaction Proposal; and
c.In the case of one or more Transaction Proposal(s) with a total consideration or equity value of less than $10,000,000 per annum, the Committee shall be informed of the Transaction Proposal and each member of the Committee shall have a two business day period in which to request that the Transaction Proposal be put to a vote of the Committee. If the Transaction Proposal is put to a vote of the Committee, a minimum of any three members of the Committee must vote in favor of the proposal. If no such request is made within the two business day period, no approval from the Committee is required.
3.Notwithstanding the approvals required in Section IV.D.(2)(a) above, in the event the Investor Designee is required to abstain from the deliberations of the Committee pursuant to Section II.A above, such Transaction Proposal shall not be submitted to the Committee and shall be submitted to the full Board for approval.
C-4



4.To the extent the Committee has voted in favor of a Transaction Proposal, such Transaction Proposal shall be submitted to the Board for further consideration in accordance with the Board’s policies, practices and directions. Approval of a Transaction Proposal by the Committee shall be deemed a recommendation from the Committee that the Board approve such Transaction Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Committee votes against a Transaction Proposal, such Transaction Proposal shall not be submitted to the Board for further consideration.
5.Following receipt of the requisite Committee approval, the Company’s management may determine not to pursue any such Transaction Proposal with notice and authorization by the Board (if the Board has authorized the transaction); provided, that in the event of any material changes to such Transaction Proposal, the requisite Committee approval as described in Section IV.D.(2) must be sought again prior to implementation of such revised Transaction Proposal.
6.Following the consummation of a Transaction Proposal, the Committee shall monitor, review, and evaluate the performance of any consummated Transaction Proposal with the Company’s management, as applicable, and assess the relative success of the transaction.
7.The thresholds set forth in Section IV.D.(2) shall be reviewed and reassessed by the Board at least annually commencing July 1, 2025. The Board may amend this Charter, including the thresholds set forth in Section IV.D.(2); provided, however, than any such amendment is contingent upon the approval of the Investor Designee for so long as the Investor is permitted to designate at least one Investor Designee.
E.General:
1.The Committee may establish and, by its unanimous approval, delegate authority to one or more subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members to carry out its responsibilities, to the extent this is consistent with the Company’s Governing Documents and any applicable law.
2.The Committee shall make regular reports to the Board on matters for which it has responsibility.
3.In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on advice and information it receives from the Company’s management and any experts, advisors and professionals with whom it may consult.
4.The Committee shall have the authority to request that any officer or employee of the Company, the Company’s outside legal counsel, the Company’s independent auditor or any other professional retained by the Company meet with the Committee or its members or advisors.
C-5



5.The Committee may provide the Board with such additional information and material as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of any Transaction Proposal that requires the attention of the Board.
6.The Committee may perform such other functions the Board may request from time to time.
7.The Committee may delegate its authority to the Chair when the Committee deems such delegation appropriate and in the best interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Charter or in any Board-adopted resolution or policy related to this Committee’s duties or actions shall modify any duty expressly reserved for the Board under the Company’s incorporation documents, bylaws, charters of other Board committees or under any applicable law.

RECITALS:
A.    Investment Agreement. The Company is simultaneously entering into certain other agreements with Purchaser on the date hereof, including a separate investment agreement with Purchaser (the “Investment Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance of certain (i) shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and (ii) shares of newly issued Series A convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). In connection with the transactions thereunder, the Company further intends to issue to Purchaser a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Non-Voting Class C Common Stock (as defined therein), all as described therein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed in the Investment Agreement.
B.     Supplemental Investment. For purposes of funding one or more strategic international acquisitions by the Company or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Strategic Transaction”), the Company has authorized the additional sale and issuance of up to 50,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement, which the Company desires to issue and sell to Purchaser on the terms and conditions herein and which Purchaser may purchase on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

The aggregate cash amount equal to the sum of the Series A Preferred Stock Price Per Share multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which Purchaser may, at its option, purchase hereunder shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Total Purchase Price”, which such Total Purchase Price shall be equal to $50,000,000.00. The cash amount equal to the sum of the Series A Preferred Stock Price per share multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which Purchaser purchases in each Series A Purchase shall be referred to in this Agreement, in each instance, as a “Per Transaction Purchase Price”.



(b)Prior to each Series A Purchase, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a Transaction Analysis (as that term is defined in Exhibit C of the Investment Agreement) to fund a Strategic Transaction.

The date on which each such Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as a “Closing Date.”
(b)Subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the applicable Closing Date of the applicable conditions to the applicable Closing in Section 1.2(c), at such Closing:

During the term of this Agreement, the Holder shall notify the Company of its two nominees designated for appointment, election or re-election to the Board (the “Holder Designees”) in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall be delivered not less than sixty (60) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (such proposal, the “Holder Stockholder Proposals”), and shall cause the nominees to complete and deliver the Company’s standard director and officer questionnaire, if any, and provide such other information concerning such nominee reasonably requested by the Company; provided, however, that in the event that the Holder, together with its Affiliates, ceases to own a number of shares of Class A Common Stock at least equal to 50% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the Holder at Closing, the Holder shall cause the Holder Designees to promptly resign as directors, all rights to designate Holder Designees under this Article II shall immediately terminate and the Holder shall no longer be permitted to designate Holder Designees. To the extent the Holder is permitted to designate Holder Designees pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), such designees must be reasonably acceptable to the Board and Nominating Committee to be nominated for election to the Board, and, to the extent such designees are determined to be reasonably acceptable, the Company and the Board and Nominating Committee shall (a) recommend to its stockholders at the next annual meeting of the Company following the date hereof the election of the Holder Designees as directors of the Board (such recommendation, the “Holder Designee Board Recommendation”) and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of the Holder Stockholder Proposals at each subsequent meeting of its stockholders until such approval of each of the Holder Stockholder Proposals has been obtained, including inclusion of the Holder Designee Board Recommendations in subsequent proxy statements.

-11-



The Holder will have the right to make only one Demand Registration Request per class within any twelve- (12-) month period; provided, however, that a Demand Registration Request will not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration Request for purposes of the foregoing limitation if (i) such Demand Registration Request has been withdrawn pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or (ii) the registration statement filed in connection with such Demand Registration Request (x) does not become effective or (y) is not maintained effective for the period required hereunder. In no event will the Company be required to initiate more than five (5) registrations pursuant to this Section 4.1(a).
(b)Registration Expenses.

1.2Shelf Registration.
(a)Filing. If requested by Stockholders (the “Shelf Requesting Stockholders”) owning a Class of Registrable Securities, as promptly as practicable following such Shelf Requesting Stockholders request therefor (and no later than forty-five (45) days following such request), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on any applicable form that is then available to (and as determined by) the Company under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) that covers the Registrable Securities held by the Shelf Requesting Stockholders for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto; provided, however, that the Holder will have the right to request no more than one (1) Shelf Registration Statement within any six- (6-) month period. If permitted under the Securities Act, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(c)Additional Registrable Securities; Additional Selling Stockholders. At any time and from time to time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if a Stockholder holding Registrable Securities requests (i) the registration under the Securities Act of additional Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) that such Stockholder be added as a selling stockholder in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company, if it is eligible to do so, shall as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Registrable Securities and/or Stockholder.
(d)Right to Effect Shelf Takedowns. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article III, each Stockholder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Takedown”).
-12-



(e)At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.2(a) is effective, if any Stockholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and confirming that such sale of Registrable Securities is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $15 million in respect of the applicable Class of Registered Securities, then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Stockholders).  In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering:
(1)the Company shall promptly deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Stockholders included on such Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such Stockholder to include its Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such Stockholder notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and
(2)in the event that the lead underwriter or placement agent determines that marketing factors (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation on the number of shares which would otherwise be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering, the lead underwriter or placement agent may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as is described in Section 4.3(a)(B) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in an underwritten offering.
(f)Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all (and will promptly reimburse to any Shelf Requesting Stockholders to the extent they have borne any) Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses with respect to any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2, regardless of whether the registration statement filed in connection with such registration becomes effective; provided, however, that the Registration Expenses will not be required to be paid by the Company if the registration proceeding began pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and the request to prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement was withdrawn (in which case the Shelf Requesting Stockholders will be solely responsible for the payment of the Registration Expenses incurred as a result of such request to prepare and file such Shelf Registration Statement). Each Shelf Requesting Stockholder will be solely liable for the payment of any Selling Expenses applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by such Shelf Requesting Stockholder. In no event will the Company be required to effect more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to Section 4.2(d).

-13-



(A)if, at any time after giving such written notice of the intention to register any Other Securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company will determine for any reason not to register the Other Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Stockholders who have submitted a written request pursuant to this Section 4.3, and thereupon the Company will be relieved of its obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection with the registration of such Other Securities (but not from its obligation to pay any Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses to the extent incurred in connection therewith as provided in Section 4.3(b));
(C)the Company will not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities (i) on Form S-8 or in connection with any employee or director welfare, benefit or compensation plan, (ii) on Form S-4 or in connection with an exchange offer, (iii) in connection with a rights offering exclusively to existing holders of Class A Common Stock, (iv) in connection with an offering solely to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries or (v) relating to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities Act.

1.4Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and each of its officers and directors and each person who controls such Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (an “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act, or any prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that (x) any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (y) if any untrue statement or omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, and the Company provides such Holder with such amendment or supplement promptly, and such Holder thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such Loss after the Company had furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same (and the delivery thereof would have resulted in no such Loss); provided, however, that in the case of clause (y), the Company has otherwise publicly disclosed such amendment or supplement in accordance with any rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.
(b)Indemnification of the Company. Each Stockholder will, upon exercise of its registration rights pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, and each other Stockholder will be required to, upon such exercise, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers who sign any registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Stockholder expressly for use therein, and each Stockholder agrees, and each other Stockholder will be required to agree, to reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c)Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.10, promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 4.10, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.
-20-



In case any such action will be brought against any indemnified party and it will notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it will wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof (with counsel, who will not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4.10 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party will, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party may effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifying party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above will be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent such fees or expenses were incurred prior to an indemnifying party’s election to assume the defense of such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten Public Offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10, in no event will a Stockholder be required to undertake liability to any person or persons under this Section 4.10 for any amounts in the aggregate in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Stockholder from the sale of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act.
-21-



(g)The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person, and the obligations of the Stockholders under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which such persons may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 4.10 are not exclusive and will not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to a party at law or in equity.
1.11Rule 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and it will use its reasonable best efforts to take any such further action as reasonably requested, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of a Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

1.12Additional Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder or prospective holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than either a pro rata basis with respect to the Registrable Securities or on a subordinate basis.
ARTICLE V

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS
1.1Pre-emptive Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any Shares or Series B Preferred Stock after the date hereof (“New Shares”), the Company shall first offer to each Stockholder a portion of such New Shares equal to the product of (1) the total number of New Shares proposed to be offered or sold by the Company and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares then owned by such Stockholder and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Pro Rata Portion”). A Stockholder shall be entitled to apportion the pre-emptive rights hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership,” as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of such Stockholder (“Holder Beneficial Owners”).
(a)The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Stockholder, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Shares, (ii) the number of such New Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Shares.
(b)By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Stockholder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion.
(c)At expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Stockholder that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each a “Fully Exercising Holder”) of any other Stockholder’s failure to do likewise.
-22-



During the ten (10) day period commencing after the date the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Holder may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion, up to that portion of the New Shares for which Stockholders were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Stockholder, which is equal to the product of (1) the total number of New Shares proposed to be offered or sold by the Company and not purchased by the Fully Exercising Holders and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares then owned by such Stockholder and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by all Fully Exercising Holders who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Shares pursuant to Section 5.1(d).
(d)If all New Shares referred to in the Offer Notice are not purchased or acquired as provided in Section 5.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 5.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Shares to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 5.1.
(e)Each Stockholder that exercises pre-emptive rights pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall deliver at the closing of the issuance of New Shares payment, to the bank account designated by the Company, in full in immediately available funds for the New Shares purchased by such Stockholder. As such closing, the Stockholder shall execute such additional documents as the Company may reasonably request.
(f)The pre-emptive rights in this Section 5.1 shall not be applicable to (1) shares of Class A Common Stock, options or convertible securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock; (2) shares of Class A Common Stock or options issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board; (3) shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of options or warrants, provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such option or warrant; (4) shares of Class A Common Stock, options or convertible securities issued as acquisition consideration pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other person, or portion thereof, by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement approved by the Board or (5) issuances approved by the Board and payable to a third-party as consideration for any other business relationships, the primary purpose of which is not to raise capital or (6) shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to Board approval in connection with the financing or refinancing of any indebtedness or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including as an equity kicker in connection therewith); provided, however, that with respect to clauses (5) and (6), the number of issued Class A Common Stock shall not constitute more than 0.25% of the number of Class A Common Stock then issued and outstanding.
1.2Termination of Pre-emptive Rights. The covenants set forth in Section 5.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as the Holder, together with its Affiliates, ceases to own at least 50% of the Class A Common Stock acquired by the Holder at Closing and (b) a Change of Control, in which the consideration received by the Stockholders in such Change of Control is in the form of cash and/or publicly traded securities, or if the Stockholders receive participation rights from the acquiring company or other successor to the Company reasonably comparable to those set forth in this ARTICLE V.

1.8Specific Performance.

EXECUTION VERSION

VOTING AGREEMENT

        This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [] [], 2024, is entered into by and between Allianz Strategic Investments S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (“Purchaser”) and the undersigned stockholder (each, a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders” and, together with Purchaser, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) of AlTi Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2024 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”), by and between the Company and Purchaser.

RECITALS

        WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, each Stockholder is the record holder and beneficial (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning shall apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial” or “beneficially” is used) owner, and has full voting power over the number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”) of the Company and the number of shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”) of the Company set forth on such Stockholder’s signature page hereto;

        WHEREAS, the Company and Purchaser are parties to the Investment Agreement, pursuant to which Purchaser shall make the Investment, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein;

        WHEREAS, the obligation of the Investors to make the Investment is conditioned upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the Investment, the Stockholders have agreed to provide for the future voting of their Shares as set forth below;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

Article 1

VOTING AND TRANSFER OF SHARES
Section 1.01.Voting.
(a)Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, that number of Shares set forth on the Stockholder’s signature pages hereto and any additional Shares that are hereafter held of record or beneficially owned by such Stockholder or over which such Stockholder has voting control (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) that are entitled to vote (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable), from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary at the first annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held following the date hereof or pursuant to the first written consent of the stockholders following the date hereof, so as to elect each Purchaser Nominee to the extent such Purchaser Nominee has been recommended to the stockholders by the Board of Directors of the Company.



(b)Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Subject Shares, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary, in favor of any proposal for stockholders of the Company, at the first annual or special meeting of stockholders at which such a proposal is put forth to the stockholders following the date hereof or pursuant to the first written consent of the stockholders following the date hereof, to approve the adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Annex A.
(c)Any vote required to be cast or consent or dissent in writing required to be expressed pursuant to this Section 1.01 shall be cast or expressed in accordance with all applicable procedures so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present (if applicable) and for purposes of recording the results of that vote.
(d)Each Stockholder hereby agrees not to enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement with any person to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.01.
Section 1.02.Successors. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Stockholders. Until each Stockholder has voted in accordance with the terms of Section 1.01, such Stockholder shall not transfer its Subject Shares to a person until such person to whom such security is to be transferred (a “Third Party Transferee”) shall have executed a written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were a Stockholder (a “Transferee Voting Agreement”), as applicable; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder may transfer to one or more Third Party Transferees up to ten percent (10%) of the Subject Shares held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof without having to procure a Transferee Voting Agreement from such Third Party Transferee(s).
Section 1.03.No Agreement as Director or Officer. Each Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as record or beneficial owner of Subject Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by such Stockholder or any employee, officer, director (or person performing similar functions), partner or other Affiliate (including, for this purpose, any appointee or representative of such Stockholder to the Board of Directors of the Company) of such Stockholder, solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) or other fiduciary capacity for the Company’s stockholders.
Section 1.04.Acquisition of Additional Shares. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that such Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within two business days) notify Purchaser of the number of any additional Shares with respect to which such Stockholder becomes the holder of record or acquires beneficial ownership, if any, after the execution of this Agreement, which Shares shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically become Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01.
Section 1.05.No Adverse Act. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, except as expressly provided or permitted by this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, take or permit any action that would in any way (i) restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, (ii) make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder herein untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (iii) otherwise restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of this Agreement, the Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Investment Agreement.
    -2-



Each Stockholder hereby agrees that such Stockholder shall notify Purchaser in writing promptly of (a) any fact, event or circumstance that would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute, an untruth or inaccuracy in any material respect in the representations and warranties of such Stockholder herein and (b) the receipt by such Stockholder of any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is required in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to any Party.
Section 1.06.Further Assurances. Each Stockholder hereby agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further certificates, instruments and other documents and take such further actions as Purchaser may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Article 2

Such Stockholder is the record holder and beneficial owner of all of its Subject Shares and has full voting power and power of disposition with respect to all such Subject Shares free and clear of any liens, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options or any other encumbrances or restrictions on title, transfer or exercise of any rights of a stockholder in respect of such Subject Shares (collectively, “Encumbrances”), except for any such Encumbrance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares other than as set forth in the Company’s Organizational Documents.

It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which they are entitled at Law or equity.

    -6-

Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

From and after the date hereof until the earliest of the Additional Closing, the end of the Additional Shares Notice Period and the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall provide notice to Purchaser if the Other Investor consents to an action restricted pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(3), (4) or (6)–(10) of the Other Investment Agreement.
(b)Without limiting the generality of and in furtherance of the foregoing sentence, from and after the date hereof until the earliest of the Additional Closing, the end of the Additional Shares Notice Period and the termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement, required by a Governmental Entity or applicable Law, expressly required by the terms of any Company Material Contract in effect prior to the date of this Agreement (correct and complete copies of which have been made available to Purchaser) or entered into following the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1, as approved in writing by Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to:



(1)adopt or propose any change in its Organizational Documents (other than to correct scrivener’s errors or immaterial or ministerial amendments);
(2)merge or consolidate with any other person, except for any such transactions solely among wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company or in connection with any acquisition permitted by clause (3) below, or restructure, reorganize or completely or partially liquidate;
(3)reclassify, split, combine, subdivide or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or offer to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its capital stock, other equity interests or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any shares of its capital stock or other equity interests, in each case except in connection with tax withholding obligations of the Company; or
(4)agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing.
1.2Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as reasonably practicable, including to (i) promptly prepare and file (as applicable) all permits, consents, approvals, confirmations (whether in writing or orally) and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant, including those listed on Section 1.2(f)(1)(C) of the Company Disclosure Schedules in respect of the purchase of Additional Shares, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and in any event no later than fifteen (15) business days following the date hereof, and (ii) respond to any request for information from any Governmental Entity relating to the foregoing, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Company or Purchaser to pay or commit to pay any amount or incur any material obligation in favor of or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any person in connection with such efforts. In no event shall Purchaser be required to agree to provide capital or other financial support to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereof other than the Purchase Price to be paid for the Purchased Stock to be purchased by it pursuant to the terms of, or subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement.
(b)To the extent permitted by Law, each of Purchaser and the Company will (i) have the right to review in advance all information to the extent relating to such party and any of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, partners and stockholders which appears in any proposed filings to be made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Entity (and each will consult with the other party relating to the exchange of such filings and shall consider in good faith any comments made by the other party in relation thereto, including with respect to all information which appears in any filings relating to the other party and any of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective directors and officers) and (ii) keep each other reasonably informed of, and consult with the other in advance of, any substantive meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity that is reasonably likely to relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or affect Purchaser or its investment in the Company in connection with the transactions.



In exercising the foregoing right, each party agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party agrees to keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of matters referred to in this Section 3.2(b).
(c)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any material communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any communication that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any required approval, consent or authorization from a Governmental Entity related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be obtained or that the receipt of such approval, consent or authorization will be materially delayed or conditioned.
1.3Access to Information. Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisers and other representatives of Purchaser access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the earlier of the Additional Closing Date and the end of the Additional Shares Notice Period, to all their properties, books, personnel, and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, make promptly available to Purchaser such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchaser may reasonably request, including the information set forth in Section 3.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the Company’s regular business operations during any such access. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of the Company’s customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any Law, Order, fiduciary duty, duty of confidentiality or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Company and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and request waivers or make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
1.4Reserved.
1.5Most Favored Nation. To the extent (a) the Company enters into any amendment to, or modification of, the Other Investment Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Other Investor, or any of its Affiliates as of the date hereof, including any side letter or similar arrangement (each, an “MFN Agreement” and an “MFN Party”, respectively) after the date hereof (an “Amended Arrangement”) and (b) such Amended Arrangement has the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing terms of, any of the MFN Agreements that, without giving effect to any such amendment or modification, are equivalent to the rights set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Company and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party as of the date hereof (the “Equivalent Rights”) in a manner that would (i) provide the MFN Party with rights that are more favorable than the Equivalent Rights, (ii) make any securities issued to any MFN Party Senior Securities (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations) relative to the Series C Preferred Stock or (iii) make any securities issued to any MFN Party, other than the Series A Preferred Stock, Parity Securities (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations), with the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall, in any such case, promptly and in good faith disclose such Amended Arrangement to Purchaser.



In connection therewith, Purchaser shall be offered the opportunity to receive the same rights and/or seniority, granted by the Company in any such Amended Arrangement, whether entered into as of the date hereof or hereafter (in the case of seniority, in a manner that preserves the seniority of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock relative to all other classes of outstanding Capital Stock). Purchaser shall be deemed to reject any such offer, unless, within twenty (20) business days after receiving the final execution version of such Amended Arrangement, it delivers written notice to the Company accepting some or all of the additional rights offered in such Amended Arrangement. However, if Purchaser accepts any such offer, in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly enter into such agreements, including any relevant amendments or modifications of existing agreements, which Purchaser may reasonably request. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.5, the governance rights of the Other Investor to nominate members to the Board and to have a nominated Board member serve on the Transaction Committee shall not be construed as Equivalent Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall override or otherwise limit any approval rights of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designations.
1.6Reserved.
1.7Reserved.
1.8Board Observer.
(a)For so long as Purchaser (together with its Affiliates) beneficially owns at least 50% of the Purchased Stock, Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint an observer to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Transaction Committee (the “Purchaser Observer”). For the avoidance of doubt, the right to appoint an observer to the Board and the Transaction Committee shall not be transferrable to any person other than an Affiliate of Purchaser.
(b)The Purchaser Observer shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the full Board and the Transaction Committee (whether in person, telephonic, electronic or other) in a non-voting, observer capacity. The Company will give notice of such Board or Transaction Committee meetings to the Purchaser Observer at the same time and in the same manner that it gives notice to Board or Transaction Committee members and, unless the Board determines otherwise based on factors identified in Section 3.8(d), will give the Purchaser Observer copies of all documents furnished to any Board or Transaction Committee member in connection with any such meeting. Purchaser may change the Purchaser Observer at any time upon delivery to the Company of reasonable prior written notice signed by Purchaser. Subject to Section 3.8(d), the Company shall allow the Purchaser Observer to attend Board or Transaction Committee meetings by telephone or electronic communication if desired. The failure of the Purchaser Observer to attend any meeting (or to receive any portion of a notice of a meeting) or to receive any materials or other information shall not prevent any such meeting from proceeding or otherwise affect the validity of such meeting (or any written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any actions taken at such meeting (or any written consent in lieu of such meeting). The Purchaser Observer shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote at any meeting.
(c)Unless the Board in good faith determines otherwise based on factors identified in Section 3.8(d), the Company shall provide to the Purchaser Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to the members of the Board or Transaction Committee (collectively, “Board Materials”), at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board or Transaction Committee members.



(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.8 to the contrary, the Company may exclude the Purchaser Observer from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if (1) the Board concludes, acting in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company or its Affiliates and its counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall only apply to such portion of such material or meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege, (2) such exclusion is necessary or advisable (in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board or the Transaction Committee, as the case may be) to comply with the terms and conditions of bona fide confidentiality agreements with third parties or applicable law, or (3) such Board Materials or discussion relates to a bona fide existing or potential conflict of interest between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser, the Purchaser Observer or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand.
(e)The Purchaser Observer shall not be entitled to any fees or other compensation for acting as an observer; provided, that the Company shall be responsible for all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Purchaser Observer’s attendance at Board and Transaction Committee meetings in the same manner and to the same extent as such expenses are reimbursed for members of the Board, which amounts shall be reimbursed in cash as incurred.
(f)No person shall be appointed as a Purchaser Observer until such person has entered into a reasonable and customary board observer agreement whereby he/she agrees to hold in confidence all information so provided.
ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
1.1Reservation for Issuance. The Company will reserve that number of shares of Class A Common Stock as are sufficient for issuance upon conversion of the Purchased Stock and exercise of the Warrants.
1.2Indemnity.
(a)From and after the Initial Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members and employees from and against any and all Proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, (2) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or (3) the matters set forth in Section 4.2(a)(3) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
(b)From and after the Initial Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, partners, members and employees from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of Purchaser’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) Purchaser’s breach of agreements or covenants made by Purchaser in this Agreement.



(c)A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 4.2 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if the action, suit, claim or proceeding does not seek any injunctive or equitable relief or any criminal penalties, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the defense thereof at its own expense and through counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party by giving notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such claim notice from the Indemnified Party, unless the counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding, (B) provides solely for the payment of money damages and not any injunctive or equitable relief or criminal penalties and (C) does not create any financial or other obligation on the part of an Indemnified Party which would not be indemnified in full by the Indemnifying Party.
(d)The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(1) (other than with respect to any Company Fundamental Representations, which shall not be subject to the following limitations), (1) with respect to any claim for indemnification if the amount of Losses with respect to such claim (including a series of related claims) is less than $75,000 (any claim involving Losses less than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”) and (2) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(1) exceed an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Company shall be responsible for the entirety of such Losses.



Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(1), (A) with respect to any De Minimis Claim and (B) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(1) exceed the Threshold Amount, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for only the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount. The cumulative indemnification obligation of (1) the Company to Purchaser and all of the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) Purchaser or (2) Purchaser to the Company and the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) the Company, in each case pursuant to (i) Section 4.2(a)(1) (other than with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any Company Fundamental Representations) or Section 4.2(b)(1), as applicable, shall in no event exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price, (ii) Section 4.2(a)(1)-(2) or Section 4.2(b), as applicable, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price and (iii) to Section 4.2(a)(3) shall be unlimited.
(e)Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.2 for breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or other agreement can only be brought on or prior to the date on which such representation or warranty or covenant or other agreement would otherwise expire pursuant to Section 6.1; provided that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.2 for breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or other agreement is brought prior to the end of such period, then the obligation to indemnify in respect of such breach shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.
(f)The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.2 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Indemnified Parties for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or any other breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall limit in any way any such party’s remedies in respect of Fraud by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages except to the extent (i) such damages (other than punitive damages) were reasonably foreseeable as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein, or (ii) such damages are awarded to a third party by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment not subject to appeal in connection with a third party claim. “Fraud” means actual fraud under the laws of the State of Delaware (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, constructive fraud, equitable fraud or promissory fraud or negligent misrepresentation or omission, or any form of fraud based on recklessness or negligence) with respect to, in the case of the Company, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 and, in the case of Purchaser, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3.
(g)Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable Law.



(h)In all cases in calculating the amount of any Loss with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein (and for purposes of determining a breach or an inaccuracy), such representations and warranties (other than those representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(i)(c)) and shall be read without regard to any materiality qualifier (including any reference to Material Adverse Effect) contained therein.
(i)The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually received from any third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party as an offset against such Loss (each third party that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”); provided that the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.2 shall also be computed on an after-tax basis, which takes into account both any Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, withholding Taxes) paid by an Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to any indemnity payment and any Tax benefit actually realized by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates that is attributable to such Loss. If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under this Section 4.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 4.2 had such determination been made at or prior to the time of such payment.
(j)The provisions of this Section 4.2 are not intended to permit duplicate recoveries on the same Loss.
1.3Transfer Taxes. Upon an applicable Closing, the Company shall be liable for 100% of any United States and non-U.S. federal, state, and local sales, use, transfer, excise, stamp, conveyance, documentary transfer, recording, registration, filing or other similar Taxes which are required to be paid in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer of the Securities to be issued, sold and transferred to Purchaser hereunder and the Warrants (“Transfer Taxes”). The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and timely prepare any Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Company will prepare and timely file all Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes. Purchaser will file any other Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes required to be filed by the Purchaser. The party that files such Tax Return (“Filing Party”) shall furnish to the other party (“Non-Filing Party”) a copy of any such Tax Return and a copy of a receipt showing payment of any such Transfer Taxes within ten (10) business days of availability of such receipt. The Non-Filing Party shall pay to the Filing Party all Transfer Taxes that it owes pursuant to this Section 4.3 within five (5) business days of written demand from the Filing Party, provided that no payment shall be required more than three (3) days before the Transfer Tax is required to be paid.
1.4Tax Matters.
(a)Unless there has been a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement or a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) to the contrary, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall treat or report the Series C Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” for purposes of Section 305 of the Code.



(b)The Company shall engage an independent accounting firm or other valuation expert of recognized national standing in the United States, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, to provide before the applicable Closing an allocation of the investment among the instruments acquired. Such allocation as determined pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall be binding on the Company and Purchaser for all tax purposes.
(c)If, at any time during which any instruments issued in the Investment are owned by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, the Company reasonably expects that it will become a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Purchaser in writing of such expected change in tax status before such change in tax status occurs. Subject to 30 days’ notice by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, and if permitted by applicable Law, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser and its Affiliates may request, and the Company shall provide within a reasonable period of time but no later than three business days before the date of any disposition by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates of any portion of the Investment, a duly executed statement, pursuant to Treasury regulations Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c), which shall confirm that an interest in the Company is not and has not been a United States real property interest (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith) because the Company is not, and has not been, a United States real property holding corporation (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith) at any time during the applicable period specified by Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code ending on the date specified in the Purchaser’s request. Upon issuance of such statement, the Company acknowledges and agrees to submit a copy of the statement to the IRS, along with a duly executed notice pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), and any supplemental statement required pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(5), within 30 days after providing the statement to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates.
1.5Confidentiality.
(a)Purchaser agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed:
(1)to Purchaser’s Representatives or to any financial institution providing credit to Purchaser, to any prospective transferee of Purchaser or to any investor or potential investor or partner of Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of such Confidential Information by such persons that would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5(a) and that any such recipient of Confidential Information is subject to a customary confidentiality agreement (i) with confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2024, by and between Constellation Wealth Capital, LLC and the Company (the “NDA”) or (ii) in a form otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion;
(2)to the extent required by applicable Law (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes to which Purchaser is subject) or regulatory authority or rating agency to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is subject or with which it has regular dealings; provided that Purchaser agrees to give the Company prompt notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief (and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with such efforts by the Company at the Company’s expense, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such Law);



(3)if the prior written consent of the Company shall have been obtained;
(4)among the directors of the Company in their capacities as members of the Board of Directors;
(5)to any prospective Permitted Transferee (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) of Purchaser and such prospective Permitted Transferees’ Representatives in connection with any proposed Transfer (as that term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) that complies with the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement during any period of time that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that each such prospective Permitted Transferee has entered into a customary confidentiality agreement (i) with confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the NDA or (ii) in a form otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion; or
(6)to the extent related to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the foregoing does not constitute an authorization to disclose the identity of any existing or future party to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or their Affiliates or Representatives.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent (i) the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order and to the requirement that Purchaser seek to use the minimum amount reasonably necessary) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the Company or Purchaser or (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates from purchasing or selling the securities of other institutions in the financial services industry so long as such purchases and sales are effected in accordance with applicable securities Laws. Purchaser shall be subject to the foregoing restrictions for so long as Purchaser is a stockholder of the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter.
(b)“Confidential Information” means any information concerning the Company or any persons that are or become its Subsidiaries or the financial condition, business, operations or prospects of the Company or any such persons (including any information regarding any transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary is or proposes to be engaged, including any information with respect to any other party or proposed party to such transaction) in the possession of or furnished to Purchaser (including by virtue of its present or former right to designate a director) and the terms of this Agreement; provided that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, investors, members, partners, agents, counsel, auditors, investment bankers, investment or financial advisers or other advisors or representatives (all such persons being collectively referred to as “Representatives”) in violation of this Agreement, (ii) as shown by written records, was available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Purchaser or its Representatives by the Company or (iii) becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company after the disclosure of such information to Purchaser or its Representatives by the Company, which source is (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Company or another person or (iv) is independently developed by Purchaser without violating any confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the Company (and, in the case of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, not in connection with their duties as an employee).



(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5, the Company acknowledges that Purchaser and its parent entities are investment vehicles having reporting obligations to limited partners or other investors and, accordingly, to the extent required, Purchaser and its parent entities may, as long as such recipients are subject to customary confidentiality provisions not materially less stringent than set forth in the NDA, disclose to their respective current and prospective investors (A) the name and address of the Company, (B) a description of the business of the Company, (C) the fact that Purchaser has invested in the Company, (D) the closing date of each investment by Purchaser in the Company, (E) the amount invested by Purchaser in the Company, (F) Purchaser’s internal rate of return and money on invested capital with respect to its investment in the Company, (G) publicly available information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (H) growth rate and leverage ratio data, and (I) the number of Securities owned by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall remain responsible for any breach of any breach of confidentiality by any of its current or prospective investors with respect to any Confidential Information of the Company.
1.6Company Opportunities.
(a)The Company understands that Purchaser and its Affiliates are or may become interested, directly or indirectly, in various other businesses and undertakings, some of which may be similar in nature to the business of the Company. The Company agrees that Purchaser and its Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest, direct or indirect, in any business venture of any nature or description for their own account, independently or with others, and subject to Section 4.6(c) below, may do so without any accountability or any obligation to afford the Company any opportunity to participate therein. In the event that Purchaser, any Purchaser Observer and each of its and their respective Affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, none of Purchaser, any Purchaser Observer or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or to refrain from pursuing or acquiring such corporate opportunity for its own benefit.
(b)None of Purchaser, any Purchaser Observer or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or stockholders of the Company for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that Purchaser, the Purchaser Observer or any of their respective Affiliates pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company.
(c)Solely in the event the Purchaser Observer, exclusively and expressly in his or her capacity as an observer on the Board, is presented with any potential transaction or corporate opportunity that (i) would reasonably be expected to be a suitable investment for the Company, (ii) based on the manner in which such potential transaction or corporate opportunity was presented to the Purchaser Observer, was clearly presented to the Purchaser Observer solely and exclusively as a potential transaction or corporate opportunity only for the Company and not for multiple persons and (iii) is a First Identified Business Opportunity, then such Purchaser Observer shall be required to first present such First Identified Business Opportunity to the Company prior to the Purchaser Observer’s pursuit of, or investment in, such First Identified Business Opportunity, and shall not pursue such First Identified Opportunity except as provided in this Section 4.6(c).



“First Identified Business Opportunity” means, with respect to the Purchaser Observer and any of his or her Affiliates, a potential transaction or corporate opportunity that (A) primarily involves the wealth management business, (B) does not relate to an auction or other non-proprietary process and (C) is not a minority investment or debt investment; provided, however, that a potential transaction or corporate opportunity shall not constitute a First Identified Business Opportunity (i) if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or any representative thereof) (x) has been presented with, or are aware of such potential transaction or corporate opportunity prior to the time such potential transaction or corporate opportunity is presented to the Purchaser Observer or (y) is presented with, or becomes aware of, such potential transaction or corporate opportunity on a bona fide basis after such potential transaction or corporate opportunity has first been presented to the Purchaser Observer, (ii) if the Board determines not to pursue such potential transaction or business opportunity, (iii) unless the Company affirmatively elects, by providing written notice thereof to the Purchaser Observer upon request of the Purchaser Observer, to pursue such potential transaction or corporate opportunity, in which case such business opportunity shall remain a First Identified Business Opportunity only for so long as the Company continues to actively pursue such potential transaction or corporate opportunity (as determined by the Board) or (iv) for more than one year following the date on which such business opportunity became a First Identified Business Opportunity.
1.7No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Proceedings (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Other Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Other Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as the party or parties to such agreement(s). Except for in the case of Fraud, no person who is a past, present or future direct or indirect equityholder, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, Affiliate, agent, attorney, financing source, assignee or representative of Purchaser or the Company or their respective Affiliates or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, attorney, representative, partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent, assignee or representative of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, (respectively, “Purchaser Affiliates” and “Company Affiliates”) shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) to the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, (or their respective Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and, except for in the case of Fraud, the Company and Purchaser, as applicable, hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive and release all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Purchaser Affiliates or Company Affiliates, as applicable.
1.8Form D. The Company agrees to timely file a Notice of Exempt Offerings of Securities on Form D with the SEC under Regulation D of the Securities Act with respect to the Securities and provide a copy thereof promptly upon request of Purchaser.
1.9Use of Proceeds. The Company shall only use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder (a) to fund strategic acquisitions by the Company and its Subsidiaries as approved by the Transaction Committee, to the extent required pursuant to the procedures in the Transaction Committee Charter, (b) to repay outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money or (c) for general corporate purposes (provided that no more than $3 million will be used for general corporate purposes).



ARTICLE V

TERMINATION
1.1Termination.
(a)This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Initial Closing:
(1)by mutual written agreement of the Company and Purchaser;
(2)by the Company or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other party, in the event that the Initial Closing does not occur on or before March 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(2) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Initial Closing to occur on or prior to such date;
(3)by either the Company or Purchaser (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Purchaser in the case of a termination by the Company, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Initial Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 1.2(d)(2), in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Section 1.2(d)(3)(A) and Section 1.2(d)(3)(B), in the case of a termination by the Company, as the case may be, and which is not cured on or before the earlier of the Termination Date and the date that is thirty (30) days following written notice by the terminating party, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period; or
(4)by the Company or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other parties, in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued any Order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.
1.2Effects of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement (other than this Section 5.2 and Article VI, which shall remain in full force and effect) shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for intentional and material breach of this Agreement or for Fraud by such party occurring prior to such termination.



ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS
1.1Survival. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive each Closing under this Agreement but only for a period of fifteen (15) months following the Initial Closing Date (or until final resolution of any claim or action arising from the breach of any such representation and warranty, if notice of such breach was provided prior to the end of such period) and thereafter shall expire and have no further force and effect, including in respect of Section 4.2; provided, however, that the Company Fundamental Representations shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days following expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 shall survive until the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Initial Closing and, except as otherwise provided herein, all other covenants and agreements contained herein, other than those which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the applicable Closing Date, shall terminate as of the applicable Closing Date.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by an officer of a duly authorized representative of such party, and, in the case of a waiver, such writing must make express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate any Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party, in whole or in part, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
1.4Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

(b)Each party agrees that it will bring any Proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and, solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Proceeding will be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 6.7.

1.8Entire Agreement, Etc. (a) This Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Warrants (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Schedules hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) this Agreement will not be assignable by operation of Law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment in contravention hereof being null and void; provided that prior to either Closing, Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate, but only if the transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company (with a copy thereof to be furnished to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (any such transferee shall be included in the term “Purchaser”); provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.
1.9Interpretation; Other Definitions. Wherever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, and references to any agreement, document or instrument shall be deemed to refer to such agreement, document or instrument as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time. All article, section, paragraph or clause references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such parts of this Agreement, and all exhibit, annex and schedule references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such exhibits, annexes and schedules to this Agreement. The rule known as the ejusdem generis rule shall not apply to this Agreement, and accordingly, general words introduced by the word “other” shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things. Whenever this Agreement states that documents or other information have been “made available” or “provided to” the Purchaser, such words shall mean that such documents or information referenced are Previously Disclosed or have been posted in the virtual data room hosted by SafeLink at least three (3) days prior to the date hereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement to any Law include the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced from time to time and in the case of any such amendment, re-enactment, consolidation or replacement, reference herein to a particular provision shall be read as referring to such amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced provision and shall also include, unless the context otherwise requires, all applicable guidelines, bulletins or policies made in connection therewith. In addition, the following terms are ascribed the following meanings:



(a)the term “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), when used with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise. For clarity, for purposes of this Agreement, (x) an investment fund, vehicle or account shall be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of all other investment funds, vehicles and accounts under common management, directly or indirectly, with a person and (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates;
(b)the word “or” is not exclusive;
(c)the words “including,” “includes,” “included” and “include” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;
(d)the terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision;
(e)“business day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or in Munich, Germany are authorized or required by Law or other governmental action to close;
(f)“person” has the meaning given to it in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act;
(g)to the “knowledge of the Company” or “Company’s knowledge” means the actual knowledge after due inquiry of the persons set forth on Section 6.9(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedules;
(h)currency amounts referenced herein are in U.S. Dollars;
(i)any capitalized term used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to them as set forth in this Agreement;
(j)all accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP; and
(k)any agreement or instrument referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent and all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
1.10Captions. The article, section, paragraph and clause captions herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.
1.11Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person (including the officers and directors of the parties hereto) or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.



Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
1.12No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any benefit right or remedies, except that the provisions of Section 4.2 shall inure to the benefit of the persons referred to in that Section 4.2.
1.13Public Announcements. Each of the parties agrees that no public release or announcement or statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (i) as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity or stock exchange to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance or (ii) for such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with other such releases, announcements or statements made after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 6.13. The Company or Purchaser, as applicable, shall not issue a public release or announcement or statement, or otherwise issue any communication, which includes Purchaser’s or the Company’s, as applicable, name or any of their respective Trademarks without the prior written consent of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, except as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity or stock exchange to which Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, is subject, in which case Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall consult with Purchaser or the Company, as applicable about, and allow Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
1.14Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which they are entitled at Law or equity. Each party further waives any (a) defense in any Proceeding for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of [●], 2024, is entered into between AlTi Global, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), and CWC AlTi Investor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Holder has entered into that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2024, between the Company and the Holder (the “Investment Agreement”), in connection with a sale by the Company of shares of newly issued Series C cumulative convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and, such shares, the “Initial Shares”), pursuant to which the Holder will purchase the Initial Shares from the Company on the terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Investment Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Holder warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock);
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Investment Agreement, the Company may, at its option but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, sell certain additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Initial Shares, the “Shares”) to the Holder; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder wish to provide for certain matters relating to the Holder’s holdings of Shares, the Warrants and Registrable Securities.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

INTRODUCTORY MATTERS
1.1Certain Definitions. The following terms are used in this Agreement with the meanings set forth below:

For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policies of a person whether through the ownership of voting securities, contract or otherwise. For clarity, an investment fund, vehicle or account shall be deemed to be an “affiliate” of all other investment funds, vehicles and accounts under common management, directly or indirectly, with a person.




For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed an Affiliate of any Stockholder, no Stockholder shall be an Affiliate of any other Stockholder, and no Stockholder shall be an Affiliate of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, in each case, solely by reason of any investment in the Company.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing prior written notice to the Stockholders, to require the Stockholders to suspend the use of the prospectus included in any registration statement for resales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 or to postpone the filing or suspend the use of any registration statement pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one-hundred fifty (150) days in succession in any one-year period (or a longer period of time with the prior written consent of the Stockholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) (a “Suspension Period”) if (A) the Company is in possession of material non-public information and the chief executive officer of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information during the period specified in such notice would be materially detrimental to the Company or (B) the Company shall determine that it is required to disclose in any such registration statement (or will be required to disclose in connection with permitting sales under an effective registration statement) a contemplated financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, tender offer or other similar material transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and the chief executive officer of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information at such time would be materially detrimental to the Company or the holders of its Class A Common Stock. In the event of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 4.6, the Company shall furnish to the Stockholders a written notice setting forth the estimated length of the anticipated delay. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to limit the length of any Suspension Period and shall notify the Stockholders promptly upon the termination of the Suspension Period. Notice of the commencement of a Suspension Period shall simply specify such commencement and shall not contain any facts or circumstances relating to such commencement or any material non-public information. Upon notice by the Company to the Stockholders of any determination to commence a Suspension Period, the Stockholders shall keep the fact of any such Suspension Period strictly confidential, and during any Suspension Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or transfer of any Class A Common Stock pursuant to such prospectus for the duration of the Suspension Period until (x) the Suspension Period has expired or, if earlier, (y) the Company has provided notice that the Suspension Period has been terminated.
-13-



For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 4.2.
(b)After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a registration statement or post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable registration statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, if necessary, the prospectus will not include a material misstatement or omission or be not effective and useable for resale of Registrable Securities.
1.7Underwriting Requirements.
(a)In the event that any Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 4.2 will involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Holder will have the right to select the underwriters for such underwritten offering, subject to the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In such event, the underwriting agreement will contain such representations and warranties of the Company and the applicable Stockholders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.10.
(b)In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 4.3 will involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Company may require Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 4.3 to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as will be applicable to the Other Securities being sold through underwriters under such registration. In such case, the holders of Registrable Securities on whose behalf Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters will be parties to any such underwriting agreement. Such agreement will contain such representations and warranties and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.10.
1.8Obligations of the Company. If and whenever the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable, as applicable:

1.9Delay of Registration. No Stockholder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this ARTICLE IV.
If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4;
(a)Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and each of its officers and directors and each person who controls such Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (an “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act, or any prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that (x) any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (y) if any untrue statement or omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, and the Company provides such Holder with such amendment or supplement as soon as possible, and in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the sale of Registrable Securities, and such Holder thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such Loss after the Company had furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same (and the delivery thereof would have resulted in no such Loss); provided, however, that in the case of clause (y), the Company has otherwise publicly disclosed such amendment or supplement in accordance with any rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.
-16-



(b)Indemnification of the Company. Each Stockholder will, upon exercise of its registration rights pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, and each other Stockholder will be required to, upon such exercise, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers who sign any registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Stockholder expressly for use therein, and each Stockholder agrees, and each other Stockholder will be required to agree, to reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c)Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.10, promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 4.10, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice. In case any such action will be brought against any indemnified party and it will notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it will wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof (with counsel, who will not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4.10 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party will, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party may effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifying party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
-17-



The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above will be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent such fees or expenses were incurred prior to an indemnifying party’s election to assume the defense of such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten Public Offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10, in no event will a Stockholder be required to undertake liability to any person or persons under this Section 4.10 for any amounts in the aggregate in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Stockholder from the sale of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act.
(g)The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person, and the obligations of the Stockholders under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which such persons may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 4.10 are not exclusive and will not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to a party at law or in equity.
1.11Rule 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and it will use its reasonable best efforts to take any such further action as reasonably requested, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of a Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

1.12Additional Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder or prospective holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than either a pro rata basis with respect to the Registrable Securities or on a subordinate basis.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS
1.1Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and the Holder.
1.2Waiver. Any party may waive any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a party to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.
1.3Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.
1.4Termination of Company’s Registration Obligations. The Company’s obligations with respect to any Registrable Securities shall terminate upon such time as such Registrable Securities are no longer Registrable Securities and with respect to any Shareholder, at such time as a Shareholder no longer owns or holds any Registrable Securities.
1.5Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by, between or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent that they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.
1.6Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect; Assignment.
(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
(b)Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party hereto pursuant to any Transfer of Securities or otherwise, except that the Holder may transfer all of its rights hereunder (including its rights under ARTICLE II, ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV, ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII) solely in connection with the Transfer of a majority of the Holder’s and its Affiliates’ shares of Series C Preferred Stock then-held (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Common Stock resulting from conversion of any Securities held by the Holder or dividends related thereto or exercise of the Warrants) to a Permitted Transferee to the extent such Transfer is permitted under and effected pursuant to Section 3.2 and, to the extent such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder.
-22-



(c)If the Holder Transfers a majority of the Holder’s and its Affiliates’ Shares or shares of Class A Common Stock then-held (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Common Stock resulting from conversion of any Securities held by the Holder or dividends relating thereto or exercise of the Warrants) to a Third Party Transferee, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with such Third Party Transferee to grant such Third Party Transferee (i) registration rights on substantially the same terms as the registration rights granted to the Holder pursuant to ARTICLE IV and (ii) information rights consistent with ARTICLE VI that are reasonably satisfactory to allow such Third Party Transferee to comply with accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to such Third Party Transferee.
1.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), each of which will be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

(e)Any financial ratios required to be maintained by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
Section 2.THE CREDIT FACILITIES
Section 1.1Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan (individually a “Term Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Term Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loans shall be advanced in a single Borrowing on the Closing Date and shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Term Loan Percentages, at which time the Term Loan Commitments shall expire. As provided in Section 2.6(a), Borrower may elect that the Term Loans be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans. No amount repaid or prepaid on any Term Loan may be borrowed again.
-30-


Section 1.2Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus (y) an amount equal to the Commitment Block multiplied by such Lender’s Revolver Percentage, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments minus the Commitment Block, in each case, as in effect at such time.  Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages.  As provided in Section 2.6(a), Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans.  Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Section 1.3Letters of Credit.
(a)General Terms.
(i)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the L/C Issuers shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of Borrower or for the account of Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by an L/C Issuer, but each Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding.
(ii)An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer;
(C)except as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $500,000;
(D)a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.3(c) exists, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender; or
-31-


(E)any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either (x) the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or (y) such proposed Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.
(b)Applications. At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the L/C Issuers shall, at the request of Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars, in a form satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than the earlier of 12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance and each renewal) or 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an aggregate face amount as set forth above, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is for the account of one of its Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by such L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.11, and (ii) if the applicable L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed). If Borrower so requests in any Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date which shall comply with this paragraph; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of the last sentence of this clause (b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is 30 days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. Each L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of Borrower subject to the conditions of Section 4 and the other terms of this Section 2.3.
-32-


(c)The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date when each drawing is to be paid if Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the applicable L/C Issuer on or before 11:00 a.m. on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to Borrower after 11:00 a.m. on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by no later than 12:00 Noon on the following Business Day, in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois, or such other office as Administrative Agent may designate in writing to Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to such L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds). If Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(e) below, then all payments thereafter received by Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.3(e) below.
(d)Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Obligations as provided in subsection (c) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Application under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The responsibility of each L/C Issuer to Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. None of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuers shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the first sentence of this clause (d)), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable L/C Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
-33-


(e)The Participating Interests. Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as the L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit), by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each such Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its Revolver Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such L/C Issuer. Upon any failure by Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid, as set forth in Section 2.3(c) above, or if the applicable L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A from such L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m., or not later than 1:00 p.m. the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by such L/C Issuer to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by such L/C Issuer to the date two Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with such L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder. The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuers under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or have had against Borrower, any L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 2.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(f)Indemnification. Without duplication of the other indemnification obligations set forth herein, each Loan Party agrees to promptly indemnify the L/C Issuers against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) that any applicable L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided, to the extent the Loan Parties fail to reimburse the L/C Issuers, the Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Revolver Percentages, promptly indemnify the L/C Issuers for any such amounts. The obligations of the Loan Parties and Participating Lenders under this Section 2.3(f) and all other parts of this Section 2.3 shall be unconditional, irrevocable and survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.
(g)Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. Borrower shall provide at least five Business Days’ advance written notice to Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by Borrower and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer of Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice (and such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to any such issuance, extension, amendment or increase have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) and such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested.
-34-


(h)Replacement of any L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the applicable L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Section 1.4Applicable Interest Rates.
(a)Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a SOFR Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).    
(b)SOFR Loans. Each SOFR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to such Interest Period, payable by Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c)Rate Determinations. Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.
Section 1.5Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans advanced under a Credit shall be in an amount not less than $100,000. Each Borrowing of SOFR Loans advanced, continued or converted under a Credit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. Without Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than 10 Borrowings of SOFR Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time.
-35-


Section 1.6Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates.
(a)Notice to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall give notice to Administrative Agent by no later than 10:00 a.m.: (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of SOFR Loans and (ii) at least one Business Day before the date Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 2.5, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of SOFR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as SOFR Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into SOFR Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by Borrower. Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans must be given by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Upon notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(j) or 8.1(k) with respect to Borrower, without notice), no Borrowing of SOFR Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then exists. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any person Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
(b)Notice to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of any notice from Borrower received pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above and the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
(c)Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of SOFR Loans prior to the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.8(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan. In the event Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.
-36-


(d)Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 4, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as Administrative Agent shall designate). Administrative Agent shall make all such funds so received available to Borrower at Administrative Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as Administrative Agent shall designate) or by depositing or wire transferring such proceeds as Borrower and Administrative Agent may otherwise agree.
(e)Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) in reliance upon such assumption make available to Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to Administrative Agent the amount made available to Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by Administrative Agent to the date two Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, Borrower will, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 3.3 so that Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment.
Section 1.7Maturity of Loans.
(a)Scheduled Payments of Term Loans. Borrower shall make principal payments on the Term Loans on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.8):
Date Amount
Last day of each calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 2024 $1,250,000
Last day of calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2025 through and including December 31, 2025 $1,875,000
Last day of each calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2026 and thereafter $2,500,000

it being agreed that a final payment comprised of all principal and interest then outstanding on the Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the final maturity thereof. Each such principal payment shall be applied to the Lenders holding the Term Loans pro rata based upon their Term Loan Percentages.
-37-


(b)Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest then outstanding, shall mature and be due and payable by Borrower on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
Section 1.8Prepayments.
(a)Optional Prepayments. Borrower may prepay in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of SOFR Loans, in an amount not less than $500,000, and (iii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 remains outstanding) any Borrowing of SOFR Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by Borrower to Administrative Agent or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, upon one Business Day prior notice delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by Administrative Agent), such prepayment, in each case, to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any SOFR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 3.3. The amount of each such prepayment pursuant to this clause (a) shall be applied as directed by Borrower or, absent any such direction, to the remaining amortization payments on the Term Loans in the direct order of maturity until paid in full and then to the Revolving Credit without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(b)Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)If Borrower or any Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make or agree to make a Disposition or shall suffer an Event of Loss, then Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and, promptly upon receipt by Borrower or such Subsidiary (and in any event within three Business Days after receipt) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that with respect to any Disposition other than a Specified Asset Sale (x) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received on account of an Event of Loss so long as such Net Cash Proceeds are to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, (y) this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received on account of Dispositions or Events of Loss during any fiscal year of Borrower not exceeding the greater of $7,000,000 or 10% of Consolidated EBITDA in the aggregate so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (z) in the case of any Disposition not covered by clause (y) above, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if Borrower states in its notice of such event that Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary intends to reinvest, within 12 months of the applicable Disposition, the Net Cash Proceeds thereof in assets similar to the assets which were subject to such Disposition, then Borrower shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under this subsection in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested in assets related to its business within such time period. Promptly after the end of such 12-month period, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent whether Borrower or such Subsidiary has reinvested such Net Cash Proceeds in such assets, and, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so reinvested, Borrower shall promptly prepay the Obligations in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested. In addition, in the event that the Commitment Block is reduced by any Specified Asset Sale Commitment Amount and the related Specified Asset Sale is not consummated within 30 days after such reduction, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after such 30th day, prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to such Specified Asset Sale Commitment Amount. The amount of each prepayment described in this clause (b)(i), including with respect to any Specified Asset Sales, shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loans (to be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity) until paid in full and then to the Revolving Credit without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(ii)If after the Closing Date Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary shall (A) issue any Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.1(a) through (p), (r) through (u) or (B) issue any Equity Interests, other than pursuant to the Equity Purchase Documents, Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of Ultimate Parent or such Subsidiary in respect thereof. Promptly upon receipt by Ultimate Parent or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loans (to be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity) until paid in full and then to the Revolving Credit without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Lenders for any breach of Section 7.1 or Section 8.1(i) or any other terms of the Loan Documents.
(iii)Borrower shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.14, prepay the Revolving Loans, and, if necessary, prefund the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced.
(iv)Unless Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of SOFR Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term Loans or SOFR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts due the Lenders under Section 3.3. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 8.4.
Section 1.9Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 11.11 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (a) all Loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Default Rate and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the outstanding amount of all interest, fees and other Obligations accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Default Rate.
Section 1.10Evidence of Indebtedness.
-39-


(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, that the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(d)Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (each such promissory note, a “Term Note”) or Exhibit D-2 (each such promissory note, a “Revolving Note”), as applicable (the Term Notes and the Revolving Notes being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of the relevant Term Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.10) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.10, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.
Section 1.11Fees.
(a)Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.
(b)Letter of Credit Fees. On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, Borrower shall pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of (or of the increase in the face amount of) such Letter of Credit. Quarterly in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages, a letter of credit fee (the “L/C Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) in effect during each day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter. In addition, Borrower shall pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account such L/C Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, assignment, and other fees and charges for each Letter of Credit as established by such L/C Issuer from time to time.
-40-


(c)Administrative Agent Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own use and benefit, the fees agreed to between Administrative Agent and Borrower in a fee letter dated October 3, 2022, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between them.
(d)Audit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for its own use and benefit charges for audits of the Collateral performed by Administrative Agent or its agents or representatives in such amounts as Administrative Agent may from time to time request (Administrative Agent acknowledging and agreeing that such charges shall be computed in the same manner as it at the time customarily uses for the assessment of charges for similar collateral audits); provided, that in the absence of any Default and Event of Default, Borrower shall not be required to pay Administrative Agent for more than one such audit per calendar year.
Section 1.12Place and Application of Payments.
(a)All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by Borrower to Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 Noon on the due date thereof at the office of Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or such other location as Administrative Agent may designate to Borrower), for the benefit of the Lender(s) or L/C Issuer entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, in each case without set off or counterclaim. Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which the Lenders have purchased Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to) in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Secured Party as to which Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) Borrower has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Administrative Agent; (2) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (3) Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Secured Parties severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Secured Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c)Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (including Section 2.8(b)), all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the final maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments as a result of an Event of Default shall be remitted to Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:
-41-


(i)first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (A) fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.13 and amounts described in Section 2.11(d)) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and (B) amounts due to, or Losses incurred by, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as trustee for the Secured Parties under each of the UK Security Documents), any Receiver and/or any Delegate under or in connection with any UK Security Document and all remuneration due to any Receiver under, or in connection with, any UK Security Document;
(ii)second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest and L/C Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.13) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;
(iii)third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid L/C Fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;
(iv)fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and any then-owing Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability and (B) to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.17, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers to Cash Collateralize such L/C Obligations, (y) subject to Section 2.3(a) or 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of Cash Collateral shall be distributed in accordance with this clause (iv);
(v)fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and
(vi)finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
-42-


Section 1.13Account Debit. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent, with its prior written consent, to charge any of Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with Administrative Agent for amounts necessary to pay any then due Obligations; provided that Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to Borrower or any other Person for Administrative Agent’s failure to do so.
Section 1.14Commitment Terminations.
(a)Optional Revolving Credit Terminations. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time agreed to by Administrative Agent), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount. Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(b)Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 may not be reinstated.
Section 1.15Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 3.6 or 3.1, (b) Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 3.4, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), Borrower may, in addition to any other rights Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable Law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any Laws, (ii) the Affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.3) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the assignment is entered into in accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 11.10 (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by Borrower), (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
Section 1.16Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
-43-


(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.11.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17; fourth, (A) as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.17; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Commitment and L/C Fees.
(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolver Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17.
-44-


(C)With respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, participations in Reimbursement Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 11.27, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to paragraph (a)(iv) above), whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 1.17Cash Collateral.
(a)Obligation to Cash Collateralize. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
-45-


(b)Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.2(g)) in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce an L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.16 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
Section 1.18Increase in the Commitments. Borrower may, on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, request to increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by delivering an Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (or in such other form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) to Administrative Agent (the “Revolver Increase”) identifying an additional Lender (an “Additional Lender”) or additional Revolving Credit Commitment for an existing Lender and the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment); provided, however, that:
(i)the aggregate amount of all such Revolver Increases shall not exceed $75,000,000 and any such Revolver Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount then agreed to by Administrative Agent);
(ii)no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of the Revolver Increase;
(iii)each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 and in the other Loan Documents shall be and remain true and correct in all material respects on the effective date of such Revolver Increase (where not already qualified by materiality, otherwise in all respects), except to the extent the same expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality, otherwise in all respects) as of such earlier date; and
-46-


(iv)in the event that all or any portion of a Revolver Increase shall be provided by an Additional Lender, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have consented to such Additional Lender.
As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (x) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of Borrower, confirming that the conditions set forth in Section 2.18(i) and (ii) above have been satisfied and (C) Borrower is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 7.13 and (y) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date, to the extent requested by Administrative Agent.
The effective date of the Revolver Increase shall be agreed upon by Borrower and Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, Schedule 1 shall be deemed amended to reflect the Revolver Increase and the new Lender (or, if applicable, existing Lender) shall advance Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its Revolving Loans each Lender shall have outstanding its Revolver Percentage of all Revolving Loans outstanding under the Commitments. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that if any SOFR Loans are outstanding on the date of such effectiveness, such SOFR Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date and Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3. Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable and documented expenses of Administrative Agent (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) relating to any Revolver Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
Section 1.19ESG Adjustments.
(a)Prior to the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date,
(i)Borrower, in consultation with Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator, may in its sole discretion establish specified key performance indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) targets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator and Borrower may amend this Agreement (such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement. No later than three Business Days before the posting of such proposed ESG Amendment to the Lenders and Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders a lender presentation in regard to the ESG and KPIs. Any ESG Amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Borrower) written notice that such Required Lenders object to such ESG Amendment. In the event that Required Lenders deliver a written notice objecting to any such ESG Amendment, an alternative ESG Amendment may be effectuated with the consent of the Required Lenders, Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator.
(ii)Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on Borrower’s performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments”) to the otherwise Applicable Margin will be made; (x) in the case of the Applicable Margin for the Commitment Fee, an increase and/or decrease of 0.01% per annum and (y) in the case of the Applicable Margin for Loans and L/C Fees, an increase and/or decrease of 0.05% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year.
-47-


(iii)The KPIs, Borrower’s performance against the KPIs, and any related ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents, in each case, setting forth the calculation, certification, verification and measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, (and as further amended, revised or updated from time to time) and to be mutually agreed between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably).
(b)Following the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator and the Required Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margin to a level not otherwise permitted by this Section 2.19.
(c)The Sustainability Coordinator will assist Borrower in (i) determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with any ESG Amendment and (ii) preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with any ESG Amendment.
(d)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.11 to the contrary.
Section 3.TAXES; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 1.1Withholding Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 3.1(b), each payment by Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes. If any such withholding or deduction is so required, Borrower or such Guarantor shall make the withholding or deduction, pay the amount withheld or deducted to the appropriate Governmental Authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, each L/C Issuer, and Administrative Agent free and clear of such Taxes (including such Taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender, L/C Issuer, or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding or deduction not been made.

(c)Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines, as a result of any change in applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to Borrower or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender or L/C Issuer is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.1 or that such Lender or L/C Issuer is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender or L/C Issuer shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.
Section 1.2Other Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
Section 1.3Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any SOFR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:
(a)any payment, prepayment or conversion of a SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,
(b)any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 4 or otherwise) by Borrower to borrow or continue a SOFR Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.6(a),
-49-


(c)any failure by Borrower to make any payment of principal on any SOFR Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or
(d)any acceleration of the maturity of a SOFR Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,
then, upon the demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrower, with a copy to Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error.
Section 1.4Change in Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any SOFR Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain SOFR Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans. Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected SOFR Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, that, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected SOFR Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender and which shall be determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon any such repayment, Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.3.
Section 1.5Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 3.8, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:
(a)Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(b)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Administrative Agent,
then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by Administrative Agent to Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the affected Interest Periods) until Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of a SOFR Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.3.

Section 1.6Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a)If any Change in Law:
(i)shall subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its SOFR Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer of the principal of or interest on its SOFR Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, or participations therein or any other amounts due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of its SOFR Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, any participation therein, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, or issue a Letter of Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Lending Office or any L/C Issuer imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or
(ii)shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the FRB) or any L/C Issuer or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its SOFR Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) or such L/C Issuer of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or such L/C Issuer under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender or L/C Issuer to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its SOFR Loans to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.6 or to avoid the unavailability of SOFR Loans under Section 3.5, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
Section 1.8Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

-52-


(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of Borrower and each Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and non-assessable and all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 5.2 as owned by a Loan Party are owned, beneficially and of record, by Borrower or such Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 7.2 and the Liens granted in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

Section 1.10Good Title. The Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have good and defensible title (or valid leasehold interests) to their assets as reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to Administrative Agent and the Lenders (except for sales of assets in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Liens other than such thereof as are permitted by Section 7.2.
Section 1.11Litigation and Other Controversies.

Therefore, the Lenders and L/C Issuer expressly agree that Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers in respect of the Loan Documents, Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or L/C Issuer except as expressly set forth herein. Except as provided in Section 9.7, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential obligee of any Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability) and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).
-86-


In this connection, Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Sections 9 and 11 (including Section 11.13, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 1.2Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 1.3Action by Administrative Agent/Sustainability Coordinator. Neither Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Coordinator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor Sustainability Coordinator (a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Coordinator is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that neither Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Coordinator shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Coordinator, as applicable, to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinator or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate and any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
-87-


Section 1.4Consultation with Experts. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel to Borrower), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 1.5Liability of Administrative Agent and Sustainability Coordinator; Credit Decision.
(a)Neither Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent in writing by Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer. Neither Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Event, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan Document; (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 4, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Coordinator, as applicable; or (v) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Loan Document or of any Collateral; and neither Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Coordinator makes any representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence.
(b)Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, increase, reinstatement or renewal of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Obligation as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator or any Lender or L/C Issuer (or any of their Related Parties), and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to Borrower in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender and L/C Issuer to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and neither Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Coordinator shall have any liability to any Lender or L/C Issuer with respect thereto.
-88-


(c)In addition, neither Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Coordinator (x) shall have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or otherwise independently verify any informational materials focused on ESG targets to be used in connection the credit facility describe in this Agreement, including any information based upon the information provided by Borrower with respect to the applicable KPI’s and (y) shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) the completeness or accuracy of any such information. Each party hereto hereby agrees that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any ESG Applicable Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any sustainability certificate or notice as to a sustainability certificate inaccuracy (and Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator may rely conclusively on any such certificate or notice, without further inquiry).
Section 1.6Indemnity. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.13 to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent an L/C Issuer in its capacity as such), or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), an L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise, and with any amounts offset for the benefit of Administrative Agent to be held by it for its own account and with any amounts offset for the benefit of a L/C Issuer to be remitted by Administrative Agent to or for the account of such L/C Issuer), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 1.7Resignation of Agents and Successor Agents.
(a)Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, and Borrower. Upon any such resignation of Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”) then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which may be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000; provided, that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
-89-


(b)The Sustainability Coordinator may at any time give notice of its resignation to Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Borrower, which resignation shall be effective on the date set forth in such notice, which date shall not be less than 10 Business Days following the date of receipt of such notice by Borrower and Administrative Agent (the “Sustainability Coordinator Resignation Effective Date”). Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender; provided that in no event shall any such successor Sustainability Coordinator be a Defaulting Lender. With effect from the Sustainability Coordinator Resignation Effective Date, the retiring Sustainability Coordinator shall be discharged from any duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Sustainability Coordinator hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Sustainability Coordinator (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Sustainability Coordinator), and the retiring Sustainability Coordinator shall be discharged from any duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. After the retiring Sustainability Coordinator’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Sustainability Coordinator, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Sustainability Coordinator was acting as Sustainability Coordinator.
Section 1.8L/C Issuer. Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The L/C Issuers shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Section 9, included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer.
Section 1.9Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability Arrangements. By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 11.10, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom Borrower or any Guarantor has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Administrative Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guaranties as more fully set forth in Section 2.12(c).
-90-


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each such Lender Affiliate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of Section 9.16 and (ii) no such Lender Affiliate shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Lender Affiliate.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Sustainability Coordinator, lead arrangers or joint bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.

Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents upon the execution and delivery thereof by Administrative Agent.
-91-


(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.14 (subject to the terms of Section 11.5), or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (a) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 and (b) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.5, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of any Loan Party or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;
(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to any Guaranteed Obligations;
(c)any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, any Loan Party or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Loan Party or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;
-95-


(d)the existence of any claim, set off, or other rights which any Loan Party or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;
(e)any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against any Loan Party or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property;
(f)any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of any Loan Party or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;
(g)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to any Guaranteed Obligations or any provision of applicable Law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Loan Party or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to any Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 10.
Section 1.3Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Until such time as Payment in Full occurs, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10 shall remain in full force and effect. If at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.
Section 1.4Subrogation. Until such time as Payment in Full occurs, each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to Payment in Full occurring, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers (and their Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and L/C Issuer (and their Affiliates) or be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 1.5Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person against any Loan Party or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.
Section 1.6Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act or similar statute or common law.
-96-


In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Section 10, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.
Section 1.7Contribution.
(a)To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Section 10 (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the occurrence of Payment in Full, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.
(c)This Section 10.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.
(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(e)The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 10.7 shall only be exercisable upon the occurrence of Payment in Full.
Section 1.8Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Loan Party or other obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.
Section 1.9Benefit to Guarantors. The Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of each Guarantor has a direct impact on the success of each other Guarantor.
-97-


Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.
Section 1.10Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
Section 1.11United Kingdom Guarantee Limitations. Without limiting any specific exemptions set out below or in the Agreement and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary:
(a)no obligations and liabilities of a UK Guarantor under Section 10 of this Agreement and under any other guarantee or indemnity provision in a Loan Document (the “Limited Guarantee Obligations”) will extend to include any obligation or liability; and
(b)no Collateral granted by a UK Guarantor will secure any Limited Guarantee Obligation,
in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), if and to the extent doing so would be unlawful financial assistance (including within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to members of the group of companies to which the Borrower belongs that are organized, formed or incorporated in the United Kingdom or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law and notwithstanding any applicable exemptions and/or undertaking of any applicable prescribed whitewash or similar financial assistance procedures) in respect of the acquisition of shares in itself or its holding company or a member of the group of companies to which the Borrower belongs under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
If, notwithstanding the above, the giving of the guarantee in respect of the Limited Guarantee Obligations or Lien would be unlawful financial assistance, then, to the extent necessary to give effect to the above (and only to the extent legally effective in the relevant jurisdiction), the obligations under the Loan Documents will be deemed to have been split into two tranches; “Tranche 1” comprising those obligations which can be secured by the Limited Guarantee Obligations or Lien without breaching or contravening relevant financial assistance laws and “Tranche 2” comprising the remainder of the obligations under the Loan Documents. The Tranche 2 obligations will be excluded from the relevant Limited Guarantee Obligations.
Section 11.MISCELLANEOUS
Section 1.1No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.
Section 1.2Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.
-98-


Section 1.3Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.
Section 1.4Survival of Indemnity and Certain Other Provisions. All indemnity provisions and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and L/C Issuer of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and L/C Issuer with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 3.3, 3.6, and 11.13, shall survive Payment in Full, and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim thereunder. All such indemnity and other provisions shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Loan Party and shall inure to the benefit of each applicable Indemnitee and its successors and assigns.
Section 1.5Sharing of Set Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, on any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. For purposes of this Section, amounts owed to or recovered by any L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by such L/C Issuer as a Lender hereunder.
Section 1.6Notices.
(a)Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address set forth below, or such other address as such party may hereafter specify by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, 5 days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid or (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section or in the relevant Administrative Questionnaire; provided that any notice given pursuant to Section 2 shall be effective only upon receipt.
(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail, FpML, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.
(c)Any party hereto may change its address or email for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(e)The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.
Section 1.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, each of which shall constitute an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement and such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original hereof.
-100-


The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other Loan Document relating to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature to the extent and as provided in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 1.8Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower, the Guarantors and the other Loan Parties and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, and each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Obligations. Borrower, Guarantors and the other Loan Parties may not assign any of their rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of all of the Lenders and, with respect to any Letter of Credit or the Application therefor, the applicable L/C Issuer.
Section 1.9Participants. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso of Section 11.11 that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 through 3.4 and 3.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant Section 11.10; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.6, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.14 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.5 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
-101-


The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Section 1.10Assignments.
(a)Assignments Generally. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Loan, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Credits on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.10(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:
(A)the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) the Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
-102-


(C)in respect of the Revolving Credit, the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iv)Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment) and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.
(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolver Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.10(b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.4 and 11.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.9.
-103-


(b)Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a FRB, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any FRB) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)Buybacks. Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Term Loans under this Agreement to Borrower (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) through (x) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of commencement thereof, Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) notwithstanding Sections 2.12 and 11.5 or any other provision in this Agreement and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing at the time of the entry into a binding agreement with respect to such open market purchase, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that that the participating Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption; provided further, that:
(i)the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to Borrower shall be deemed automatically irrevocably repaid, terminated, cancelled, extinguished and of no further force and effect on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, and Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment,
(ii)the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by Borrower, and
(iii)Borrower shall promptly provide notice to Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Loans, and Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register;
provided further, that Borrower shall not have any material non-public information with respect to any Loan Parties that either (I) has not been disclosed to the Lenders on or prior to the date of any initiation of an auction Borrower under this clause (d) or (II) if not disclosed to the Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, (x) a Lender’s decision to participate in any such auction or (y) the market price of the relevant Term Loans.
-104-


Section 1.11Amendments.

-106-


(a)Each Loan Party agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents, including the reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and disbursements of one external counsel to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one external local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, the preservation or release of any rights under any Loan or any Lien created pursuant to a Collateral Document and any proceedings instituted by or against Administrative Agent as a consequence of taking or holding any Lien created pursuant to the Collateral Documents, together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with periodic environmental audits, fixed asset appraisals, title insurance policies, collateral filing fees and lien searches. Each Loan Party agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinator, each L/C Issuer and each Lender, and any other holder of any Obligations outstanding hereunder, all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinator, such L/C Issuer, such Lender, or any such holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor as a debtor thereunder). Each Loan Party further agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinator, each L/C Issuer, each Lender, any security trustee therefor, and their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment). Each Loan Party, upon demand by Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinator, an L/C Issuer or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinator, such L/C Issuer or such Lender for any legal or other expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, neither any Loan Party nor any Guarantor shall assert, and each such Person hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(b)Each Loan Party unconditionally agrees to forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, each Indemnitee for any damages, costs, loss or expense, including response, remedial or removal costs and all fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee, arising out of any of the following: (i) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (ii) the operation or violation of any Environmental Law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), and (iv) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for damages arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the relevant Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment).
Section 1.14Set off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective affiliates, is hereby authorized by Borrower, each Loan Party and each Guarantor at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, L/C Issuer, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, any such Loan Party or any such Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations, Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability of Borrower, any such Loan Party or any such Guarantor to that Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 1.16Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
Section 1.17Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.
Section 1.18Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable Law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither Borrower, nor any other Loan Party nor any Guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law), (ii) refunded to Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither Borrower, nor any other Loan Party or endorser shall have any action against Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.
-108-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on such Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
Section 1.19Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times as Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.
Section 1.20Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and L/C Issuer hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or L/C Issuer pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders and L/C Issuer a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
