SECTION 2.02    Closing.

SECTION 2.04    Effects of the Mergers.
(a)    The First Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL and, without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Merger Sub and the Company and shall be subject to all liabilities, obligations and penalties of the Merger Sub and the Company except as provided herein, and (ii) the separate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease.

SECTION 2.05    Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.

26


applicable Law.

SECTION 2.06    Directors and Officers. The parties hereto (other than the Stockholders’ Representative) shall take all action necessary so that each of the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be a director of the Surviving Corporation and each of the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an officer of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Entity’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws. The parties hereto (other than the Stockholders’ Representative) shall take all action necessary so that each of the directors of Merger Sub II immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be a director of the Surviving Entity and each of the officers of Merger Sub II immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be an officer of the Surviving Entity, in each case until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Entity’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
SECTION 2.07    Conversion of Company Shares.
(a)    At the Effective Time, each Company Share (other than the Company Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.07(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub, be converted into and thereafter evidence the right to receive the applicable number or amount of shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, payments due under the Seller Note and cash. Each Company Share that is owned by an Accredited Stockholder shall be converted into and thereafter evidence the right to receive the applicable number or amount of shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, payments due under the Seller Note and/or cash. The number of shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock into which each Company Share owned by an Accredited Stockholder is converted shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Parent Stock Consideration by the Parent Stock Price. No fractional shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock will be issued hereunder, and each Accredited Stockholder will receive, in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock that such Accredited Stockholder would otherwise receive pursuant to this Agreement, an amount of cash equal to the product of such fractional share of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock and the Parent Stock Price (such amount, the “Fractional Cash Amount”). The amount of cash into which each Company Share owned by an Accredited Stockholder is converted shall be equal to the Accredited Stockholder Per Share Cash Consideration, and the original principal amount of the Seller Note into which each Company Share owned by an Accredited Stockholder is converted shall be equal to the Accredited Stockholder Per Share Note Amount. Each Company Share that is owned by a Non-Accredited Stockholder shall be converted into and thereafter evidence the right to receive payments due under the Seller Note and cash. The amount of cash into which each Company Share owned by a Non-Accredited Stockholder is converted shall equal the Non-Stock Per Share Cash Consideration, and the original principal amount of the Seller Note into which each Company Share owned by a Non-Accredited Stockholder is converted shall be equal to the Non-Stock Per Share Note Amount. At the
27


Effective Time, each such Company Share shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such Company Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, in Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, the Seller Note and/or in cash as set forth in this Section 2.07(a), and such holder’s right to receive its Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount and its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Representative Expense Amount, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.14(b).
(b)    At the Effective Time, each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company, or by any of its Subsidiaries, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(c)    The fair market value of the Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock provided in the Mergers (as determined using the Parent Stock Price) shall equal or exceed forty percent (40%) of the fair market value of the Merger Consideration received or deemed received by Stockholders in exchange for their Company Shares pursuant to the Mergers (including amounts that (i) may be payable to Dissenting Stockholders and (ii) Fractional Cash Amounts), treating the contingent right of each Stockholder to receive portions of the Escrow Amount, the Working Capital Escrow Amount, and the Representative Expense Amount as having a value equal to the Stockholder’s proportionate share of such amounts, as provided herein), and treating the Seller Note as having a fair market value equal to its original principal face amount. If the preceding sentence would not be true as of the Effective Time based on the Stock Consideration and Cash Merger Consideration as defined in Section 1.01 (without reference to modification under this Section 2.07(c)), the Stock Consideration shall be increased, and the Cash Merger Consideration shall be reduced, by the minimum dollar amount necessary to cause the preceding sentence to be true.
SECTION 2.08    Stock Options.
(a)    Participating Options. Each Participating Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate and be cancelled at the Effective Time and each Optionholder shall be entitled to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation in settlement of each such Option (i) cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) Non-Stock Per Share Cash Consideration minus the exercise price per share of such Participating Option multiplied by (B) the number of Shares subject to such Participating Option, and (ii) original principal amount of the Seller Note in an amount equal to the product of (C) the Non-Stock Per Share Note Amount multiplied by (D) the number of Shares subject to such Participating Option.
(b)    At the Effective Time, each then outstanding and unexercised Assumed Option shall, by virtue of the First Merger, be assumed by Parent and shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount, at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions as provided below. Each such Assumed Option so converted shall be subject to, and shall become exercisable and vested upon, substantially the same the terms and conditions that are currently applicable to such Option, except that (i) each Assumed Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock) equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the
28


Conversion Ratio, and (ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be an amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Assumed Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio. The exercise price of each Assumed Option, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to each Assumed Option and the terms and conditions of each Assumed Option shall in all events be determined in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and in the case of any Assumed Option that qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, Section 424(a) of the Code. It is the intent of the parties that each Assumed Option that, prior to the Effective Time, qualified as an incentive stock option under the Code shall, from and after the Effective Time, continue to be treated as an incentive stock option to the extent permitted under the Code.
(c)    At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume each Company Option Plan solely to the extent necessary to administer the Assumed Options.
SECTION 2.09    Conversion of Common Stock of Merger Sub; Conversion of Common Stock of Surviving Corporation.
(a)    At the Effective Time, all shares of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence in the aggregate one (1) Surviving Corporation Common Share. Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, when converted in accordance with this Section 2.09, shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist.
(b)    At the Second Effective Time, each Surviving Corporation Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence in the aggregate one (1) Surviving Entity Interest.
SECTION 2.10    Closing Adjustments.
(a)    Within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing, Parent will calculate the Cash Merger Consideration as of the Adjustment Time and will send its calculations (which shall include calculations of each component of Cash Merger Consideration) to the Stockholders’ Representative in writing, along with reasonable supporting details. Parent will make available to the Stockholders’ Representative and its auditors, employees and advisors all records and work papers used in calculating the Cash Merger Consideration and Parent’s employees and representatives who prepared such calculation, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with Stockholders’ Representative in its review of the same. If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Cash Merger Consideration, the Stockholders’ Representative may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of Parent’s written statement, deliver a written notice to Parent setting forth in reasonable detail Stockholders’ Representative’s objections to Parent’s calculation of the Cash Merger Consideration. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Stockholders’ Representative disagrees. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver any such written notice to Parent within thirty (30) calendar days after Parent delivers its calculations of Cash Merger Consideration to the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to
29


have accepted Parent’s calculations. If written notice of disagreement shall have been delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with this Section 2.10(a), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the thirty (30) calendar days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Cash Merger Consideration as of the Adjustment Time. If, during such period, Parent and Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts, then either Parent or Stockholders’ Representative may submit the disputed items or amounts to BDO USA LLP or, if BDO USA LLP is unable to serve, Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (as applicable, the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall be retained jointly by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative to resolve any disputes between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative over such disputed items, (and only such disputed items or amounts), consistent with the definitions thereof; provided, that in no event shall the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of any disputed amount be greater than the highest amount proposed by either Stockholders’ Representative or Parent for the disputed amount, or lower than the lowest amount proposed by either Stockholders’ Representative or Parent for the disputed amount. The determination(s) of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Parent and Stockholders’ Representative absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders) and Parent in proportion to the relative amounts by which their respective calculations of any disputed amounts, in the aggregate, differ from the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination as contemplated by this provision. The Cash Merger Consideration as of the Adjustment Time as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) is referred to as the “Actual Cash Merger Consideration”.
(b)    If the Actual Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Effective Time Cash Merger Consideration, then Parent will pay to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Equityholders) the amount by which the Actual Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Effective Time Cash Merger Consideration in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds (to an account specified in writing by Paying Agent) within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Actual Cash Merger Consideration; provided, however, that amounts otherwise payable to the Paying Agent pursuant to this sentence shall not be paid to the extent (and only to the extent) that the distribution of such payment to Equityholders would cause the first sentence of Section 2.07(c) to be untrue. If the Effective Time Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Actual Cash Merger Consideration, then Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account a number of Working Capital Shares having a value equal, assuming that the value of each such Working Capital Share is equal to the Parent Stock Price, to the amount by which the Effective Time Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Actual Cash Merger Consideration to Parent within five (5) Business Days after determination with any remaining Working Capital Shares in the Escrow Account to be simultaneously released to the Stockholders (subject to Section 2.14(c)(i)) in accordance with their respective Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Shares. In the event that the full amount by which the Effective Time Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Actual Cash Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Excess Amount”) is greater than the Working Capital Escrow Amount (the difference between the Working Capital Escrow Amount and the Excess Amount, being the “Adjustment Funds Shortfall”), Parent shall be entitled to recover such Adjustment Funds Shortfall from the Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent.
30


(c)    Any payment made with respect to adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be, and each of the Company and Parent shall treat such payments as, an adjustment to Merger Consideration for U.S. federal, state and local income Tax purposes.
SECTION 2.11    Tax Treatment and Cooperation. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Mergers constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of the parties hereto adopts this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations. Both prior to and after the Closing, each party’s books and records shall be maintained, and all federal, state and local income Tax Returns and schedules thereto of the parties hereto shall be filed, in a manner consistent with the Mergers constituting a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code (and comparable provisions of any applicable Laws), except to the extent the Mergers are determined in a final administrative or judicial decision not to qualify as such a reorganization. Each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II (and the officers thereof) shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and Parent and their respective legal counsel to provide any information reasonably necessary in order for such legal counsel to provide an opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the Company and Parent, respectively, to the effect that the Mergers should be treated as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such cooperation shall include the execution and delivery to the Company’s and Parent’s legal counsel of customary tax representation letters or certificates of such officers and at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by the applicable legal counsel, in connection with its delivery of such opinions.
SECTION 2.12    Withholding Taxes. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to holders of Company Shares or Options such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any applicable provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Shares or Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
SECTION 2.13    Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided for in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.14    Payment of Merger Consideration and Other Payments.
(a)    The aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent with respect to the Company Shares and Participating Options shall be as set forth in this Section 2.14. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree and acknowledge that the Merger Consideration shall be paid by Parent with a combination of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, payments due under the Seller Note and cash payments made pursuant to Section 2.07(a) and Section 2.08(a). At the Closing, Parent will make (or cause to be made) the following payments:
(i)    Payment of Company Shares. Subject to compliance with Section 2.14(b), to each holder of Company Shares that delivers to the Paying Agent a properly completed and
31


duly executed Letter of Transmittal, an amount equal to such Stockholder’s Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Share held by such Stockholder, payable in the applicable number or amount of shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, evidence of the applicable portion of the Seller Note and/or in cash as set forth in Section 2.07(a), with the aggregate amount of cash payable to all Stockholders under this Section 2.14(a)(i) (whether or not such Stockholders have delivered a Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent) being deposited by Parent with the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with instructions provided to the Paying Agent in the Letter of Transmittal).
(ii)    Participating Options. To the Company, or a payroll agent designated by the Company, for the Optionholders that have delivered to the Company a duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate cash payable to such Optionholders in respect of their Participating Options pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and to the Stockholders’ Representative evidence of the applicable portion of the Seller Note as set forth in Section 2.08(a) with respect to each Optionholder. The Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Optionholder the amount of cash to which such Optionholder is entitled as provided in Section 2.08(a) as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.
(iii)    Working Capital Escrow Amount. To the Escrow Agent, stock certificates or an electronic record representing 19,434 shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock (the “Working Capital Escrow Amount”), which shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and used only to pay the payment obligations of the Equityholders pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
(iv)    Escrow Amount. To the Escrow Agent, stock certificates or an electronic record representing 777,393 shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock (the “Escrow Amount”), which shares shall be held in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and used only to pay any indemnification obligations of the Equityholders pursuant to Section 7.02.
(v)    Representative Expense Amount. To the Stockholders’ Representative, an amount equal to the Representative Expense Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account designated by the Stockholders’ Representative.
(vi)    Accredited Investor Certifications. The Company shall request (with a copy for completion) and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure delivery of Accredited Investor Certifications from all Equityholders who the Company reasonably believes (or that Parent indicates that it reasonably believes) to be an Accredited Investor and shall deliver all Accredited Investor Certifications that it has obtained as a result of such efforts or otherwise to be delivered to Parent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(vii)    Spreadsheet. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent and the Paying Agent for their review (with a copy to the Stockholders’ Representative) no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date the proposed Spreadsheet.
(b)    Exchange Procedures. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver or mail a letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Letter of
32


Transmittal”) to each holder of Company Shares. Following the Effective Time, each Stockholder submitting a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal submitted to the Paying Agent (and delivery of copies thereof to Parent as provided below), provided further that Parent shall not have reasonably objected to any such materials proposed to be accepted for payment by the Paying Agent, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Per Share Merger Consideration, payable in Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, the Seller Note and/or in cash as set forth in Section 2.07(a) (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12) and such Stockholder’s right to receive its Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount and its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Representative Expense Amount, as provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, for each Company Share represented by such Certificate or Certificates cancelled in connection with the submission of a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal. Company shall cause Paying Agent to deliver to Parent prior to Closing a copy of each duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, promptly upon receipt by Paying Agent or Company (whichever occurs first), and Company shall cause the Paying Agent prior to Closing to provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review such materials prior to acceptance for payment by the Paying Agent. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.14(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration, payable in Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, the Seller Note and/or in cash as set forth in Section 2.07(a), and the right to receive the applicable Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount and the applicable Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Representative Expense Amount, as provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, as applicable. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.
(c)    Retention of Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, no Equityholder shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration represented by such Equityholder’s applicable share of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Escrow Amount or the Representative Expense Amount until such time as such amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Equityholder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, as applicable. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Mergers as evidenced by the Stockholder Consent shall constitute approval by all of the holders of Company Shares of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Working Capital Escrow Amount and the Escrow Amount in escrow.
(i)    Following the delivery by the Escrow Agent of any applicable stock certificates or electronic records representing (A) any portion of the Residual Shares released from the Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Section 7.04(b), or (B) any portion of the Working Capital Shares released from the Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Section 2.10(b), to Parent for cancellation, together with instructions for distribution provided by the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent shall distribute, pay or cause to be transferred, distributed or paid to each Stockholder that has submitted a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent, such Stockholder’s Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Share of the total Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares released, as applicable; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, any Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares, as applicable, otherwise payable to any Non-
33


Accredited Stockholder under this Agreement shall be paid to Foundation Capital, L.L.C., and upon receipt of such Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares, as applicable, Foundation Capital, L.L.C. shall pay such Non-Accredited Stockholder the value of such Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares, as applicable, in immediately available funds, with the value of each Residual Share or Working Capital Share being equal to the Parent Stock Price. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate to ensure that the Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares so released are as promptly as practicable delivered to, and/or registered in Parent’s stock records in the name of, the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Shares (reduced with respect to any Stockholders by any shares previously released from the Escrow Account in connection with claims against such Stockholder). In lieu of issuing any fractional Residual Shares or Working Capital Shares, Parent shall cancel such fractional shares and pay to the Paying Agent any Fractional Cash Amounts associated with such fractional shares for further distribution to the Stockholders as applicable.
(ii)    Promptly following the Paying Agent receiving any portion of the Representative Expense Amount released by the Stockholders’ Representative, in each case, for further distribution to the Stockholders, the Paying Agent shall distribute, pay or cause to be distributed or paid to each Stockholder that has submitted a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent, such Stockholder’s Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the total portion of the Representative Expense Amount released by the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable.
(iii)    No later than concurrently with the first ordinary course payroll of the Surviving Entity that occurs at least two (2) Business Days following the release of any portion of the Representative Expense Amount released by the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to deliver or cause to be delivered, through payroll agent designated by the Surviving Entity, to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Optionholder Pro Rata Share of the total portion of the Representative Expense Amount released by the Stockholders’ Representative.
(d)    Any portion of funds held by the Paying Agent which have not been delivered to any Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(i) within twelve (12) months after the Closing shall promptly be paid to Parent, and thereafter each Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by Section 2.14(b) with respect to such Stockholder’s Company Shares shall look only to Parent (notwithstanding any abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, with respect to such Stockholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares.
(e)    Payments on Seller Note. The Seller Note Payment Remainder Amount shall be delivered by Parent to the Paying Agent for further payment to the Equityholders in proportion to their applicable Note Pro Rata Shares; provided that the Paying Agent may cause any such payments to be delivered to a payroll company designated by the Surviving Entity for further payment to the Optionholders as applicable. The Deferred Transaction Fee shall be delivered by Parent to the Paying Agent for further payment to Qatalyst Partners LLC. The Company and each Equityholder acknowledge that payments under the Seller Note will be reduced by the Deferred Transaction Fee.
34


Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall discuss with Qatalyst Partners LLC the calculation of the Deferred Transaction Fee in connection with payment thereof.
SECTION 2.15    Stockholders’ Representative.
(a)    Appointment. By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of this Agreement and the Mergers by the requisite vote of the Equityholders, and the consummation of the Mergers or participating in the Mergers and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers, the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have been irrevocably appointed, and is hereby irrevocably appointed, by each Equityholder to act as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for the Equityholders for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including with respect to all post-Closing matters requiring any action or decision by the Equityholders, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall thereupon be authorized to (i) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other Additional Agreements, (ii) serve as the named party with respect to any such claims on behalf of each of the Equityholders, (iii) give and receive on behalf of the Equityholders any and all notices and documents from or to any Equityholder hereunder or under this Agreement and any Additional Agreement, (iv) grant any consent, approval or waiver on behalf of the Equityholders under this Agreement and any Additional Agreement, (v) pay amounts from the Representative Expense Amount in connection with this Agreement and enforcement of rights hereunder, and (vi) make all other elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement and any Additional Agreement. Each Equityholder does hereby give and grant unto the Stockholders’ Representative the power and authority to do and perform each such act and thing whatsoever that the Equityholders may or are required to do pursuant to this Agreement and all Additional Agreements, and to amend, modify or supplement any of the foregoing in each such Equityholder’s name, place and stead, as if such Equityholder had personally done such act, and SRS as the Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Equityholder shall not terminate such appointment or the authority and agency of the Stockholders’ Representative. The power-of-attorney granted in this Section 2.15 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
(b)    The Stockholders’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind to the Equityholders with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative Agreement and any other Additional Agreements, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholders’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative’s Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any Additional Agreements, in each case as such Representative’s Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative’s Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative’s Expense to the extent attributable to such gross negligence
35


or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative’s Expenses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from (i) the Representative Expense Amount, or (ii) in the event that the Representative Expense Amount has been exhausted, portions of the Escrow Amount paid to the Stockholders’ Representative that otherwise would be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative’s Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholders’ Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(c)    Representative Expense Amount. Upon the Closing, Parent will wire the Representative Expense Amount to the Stockholders’ Representative, which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholders’ Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and any Additional Agreements. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative Expense Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholders’ Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Representative Expense Amount to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, for further distribution to the Equityholders. For Tax purposes, the Representative Expense Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.
(d)    Reliance. Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Equityholders pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance on a communication or other instruction from the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Equityholders.
(e)    Resignation and Replacement. The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time by giving written notice to the parties. The Stockholders’ Representative may be discharged, and replaced by another Person to act as such Stockholders’ Representative successor, by an instrument in writing signed by a majority in economic interest of the Equityholders (or their successors in interest).
(f)    Additional Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative, each Equityholder, the Company and Parent expressly acknowledge that the Stockholders’ Representative shall have no authority or responsibility to act on behalf of any
36


Equityholder in connection with any claim, action or proceeding initiated against such Equityholder pursuant to a breach by such Equityholder of such Equityholder’s individual representations, warranties or covenants made in any Letter of Transmittal or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 2.16    Dissenting Shares.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by Stockholders who have not voted in favor of the Mergers, consented thereto in writing, or otherwise contractually waived their rights to appraisal and who have complied with all of the relevant provisions of the DGCL with respect to appraisal rights (the “Dissenting Shares,” and the holders thereof the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the applicable portion of Merger Consideration and such other payments, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, unless and until such Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or establish such Dissenting Stockholder’s entitlement to appraisal rights under the DGCL, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the DGCL. Prior to Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) notice of any demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) upon request thereafter by Parent, the right to control and direct all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Neither the Company, nor the Surviving Corporation, nor the Surviving Entity shall, except with the prior written consent of Parent, negotiate or voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or establish such Dissenting Stockholder’s entitlement to appraisal rights under the DGCL or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, then (A) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and (if such event occurs after Closing) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration applicable to such shares, payable in Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, the Seller Note and/or in cash as set forth in Section 2.07(a), together with the applicable Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount and the applicable Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Representative Expense Amount, that thereafter may be disbursed in favor of the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.14 and (B) promptly following the occurrence of such event (if such event occurs after the Closing), Parent shall remit to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to such holder), the amount contemplated by the foregoing clause (A) to which such holder is entitled.
(b)    From and after the Effective Time, no Stockholder who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL shall be entitled to vote his, her, or its Company Shares for any purpose or receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to his, her, or its Company Shares.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Parent shall not be required to remit to the Paying Agent, the Surviving Entity, the Escrow Agent, or any holder of Company Shares any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (other than Section 2.16(a)) or the Escrow Agreement to the extent such amount would otherwise be payable in respect of Dissenting Share(s), (ii) the Paying Agent shall not remit any amount to any Dissenting Stockholder or otherwise
37


which has not yet complied with the conditions in this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder’s receipt of the Merger Consideration, and (iii) any amount that would otherwise be payable under this Agreement (other than under Section 2.16(a)) or the Escrow Agreement to any Stockholder that has not yet complied with the conditions in this Agreement with respect to its receipt of the Merger Consideration shall be released to and held by the Paying Agent or (in the case of a Dissenting Share) Parent; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of this Article II, such Stockholder will be entitled to receive such amount (without interest) upon such Stockholder complying with the conditions to its receipt of the Merger Consideration.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
Except to the extent expressly disclosed in the corresponding section of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
SECTION 3.01    Organization. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or equivalent status) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other company (as the case may be) power and authority necessary to own, lease and operate its properties, rights or assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and/or licensed to do business and is in good standing (or equivalent status) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties, rights or assets makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified and/or licensed to do business and in good standing (or equivalent status) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the Company Charter, the Certificate of Conversion and all other Organizational Documents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.
SECTION 3.02    Capitalization.
(a)    As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 18,245,164 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, and 379,857 shares of Company Preferred Stock, of which 299,887 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. No more than 200,000 shares of Company Common Stock and Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding and held by Non-Accredited Stockholders. The authorized capital stock of the Company, together with a true, correct and complete list of all of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Company, whether each Equityholder is, to the actual knowledge of the Company (without due inquiry), a Non-Accredited Stockholder, and the address of each Equityholder’s respective residence or principal place of business as shown in the records of the Company, as applicable, is as set forth on Schedule 3.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Capitalization Schedule”). All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company are owned beneficially and of record as set forth on the Capitalization Schedule, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company have been duly authorized, were issued in compliance with applicable Law, and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation of
38


any preemptive rights of any current or former holder of Equity Interests of the Company, or any Contract to which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Equityholder is or was a party. Except as set forth on the Capitalization Schedule, there are no outstanding or authorized (i) shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests of the Company, (ii) convertible or exchangeable securities or commitments of any character, contingent or otherwise, whatsoever, relating to the capital stock of, or other Equity Interest in, the Company, (iii) outstanding or authorized subscriptions, options, warrants, puts, calls, preemptive or other rights (including any conversion rights or rights of exchange), agreements, arrangements, restrictive or commitments of any kind relating to the issuance, sale, delivery, transfer, redemption, purchase, repurchase, conversion or exchange of any shares of capital stock of any class or other Equity Interests of the Company, (iv) stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation or similar rights with respect to the Company’s Equity Interest, or (v) irrevocable proxies, membership interest holder agreements, voting agreements or trusts or other Contracts (including Contracts imposing transfer restrictions) with respect to any Equity Interests of the Company or to otherwise provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in the Company or any other Person or that give any Person the right to receive any payment based on the value of any Equity Interests of the Company’s Subsidiaries. Neither the Company has, nor has the Company entered into any contract with respect to, any Indebtedness, the lenders of which have any rights (including voting, governance, or veto rights) typically reserved for holders of Equity Interests.
(b)    Except as set forth in Schedule 3.02(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no agreements to register any securities or sales or resales thereof under the federal or state securities Laws. Except for this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3.02(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company and its Subsidiaries are not, and none of the Equityholders is a party to or otherwise bound by, any stockholders’ agreement, option, warrant, purchase right or other Contract that could require any Equityholder to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Company Shares or any other Equity Interests of any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or which otherwise relates to the sale, transfer or other disposal of any Equity Interests of any of the Companies, and, except for the Support Agreements, the Stockholders’ Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3.02(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company or any of the Equityholders is a party to, or otherwise bound by, any voting trust, proxy, or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any Equity Interests of any of the Companies.
(c)    As of the date of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to issue 2,563,006 Options, of which 1,490,000 Options have been granted and are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, 1,500,000 of such Options are authorized and 1,490,000 Options have been granted and are outstanding under the 2011 Option Plan, and 1,063,006 of such Options are authorized and no Options are issued and outstanding under the 2019 Option Plan. Schedule 3.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all holders of outstanding Options, including the number, class and series of Company Shares subject to each such Option as of the date hereof, the grant date, exercise price and vesting schedule, including vesting commencement date, for such Option, the extent to which such Option is vested and exercisable, and the date on which such Option expires. Each Option was granted in compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the applicable stock option Plan pursuant to which it was issued. All Options have been appropriately authorized by the board of directors of the Company or an appropriate committee thereof, and, if required, approved by stockholders by the necessary number of votes or written consent, including approval of the option exercise price or the methodology for determining the Option exercise price and the substantive option terms. Each Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option”
39


under Section 422 of the Code so qualifies. No Option has been retroactively granted, or the exercise price of any Option determined retroactively. No Option or other right to acquire Company Common Stock or other equity of any Person employed by the Company (A) has an exercise price that is or could be less than the fair market value of a share of the underlying stock as of the date such Option or right was granted as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, (B) had or has any feature providing for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of (x) exercise or disposition of such Option or right or (y) the time the stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Option or right first becomes substantially vested, (C) has been granted with respect to any class of stock of any Person employed by the Company that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), or (D) has been subject to “modification” or “extension” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each Option qualifies for the tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Option in the Company’s tax returns and the Company’s financial statements, respectively, and does not trigger any liability for the applicable Equityholder with respect thereto under Section 409A of the Code. The Company has heretofore provided to Parent true and complete copies of the standard form of option agreement and any stock option agreements that differ from such standard form.
(d)    All distributions, dividends, repurchases and redemptions of the capital stock or any other Equity Interests of the Company (including any Series A preferred stock) were undertaken in compliance with the Company’s Organizational Documents then in effect, any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then was a party and in compliance with applicable Law. There are no declared or accrued unpaid dividends with respect to any Company Shares.
(e)    Schedule 3.02(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary of the Company as of the date hereof. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights of any current or former holder of Equity Interests of the Company, or in breach of any Contract to which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Equityholder is or was a party. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of the Company are owned by the Company, by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, in each case as indicated on Schedule 3.02(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, free and clear of all Liens. Schedule 3.02(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the name, jurisdiction of organization and the Company’s percentage ownership of any and all Persons (other than Subsidiaries) of which the Company directly or indirectly owns an Equity Interest, or an interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for an Equity Interest (collectively, the “Investments”). Except for the capital stock and other ownership interests of the Subsidiaries and the Investments listed in Schedule 3.02(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other Equity Interests in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity and is not a party to any other arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(f)    There are no claims by any Equityholder or former Equityholder of the Company, or any other Person, seeking to assert, or based upon (i) the ownership or rights to ownership of any Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) any rights of an Equityholder (other than the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Article II), including any subscriptions, options, warrants, puts, calls, preemptive or other rights (including any conversion rights or rights of exchange)
40


or rights to notice or to vote; (iii) any rights under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully repurchased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (v) any claim for appraisal or dissenters rights, including any payment in respect of Dissenting Shares in excess of the amount of payments otherwise payable to the stockholder seeking such rights under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.03    Authority.
(a)    The board of directors of the Company, by resolutions duly adopted by unanimous written consent, and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has, as of the date hereof (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers, in accordance with the DGCL, (iii) directed that the “agreement of merger” contained in this Agreement be submitted to the Stockholders for adoption, and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Stockholders adopt the “agreement of merger” set forth in this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Board Recommendation”) and directed the officers of the Company to solicit the written consent of the Stockholders to such matter.
(b)    Without in any way limiting Section 3.03(a), the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Additional Agreements to which it is a party and, subject to obtaining the Stockholder Consent, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Company’s board of directors has duly and validly approved this Agreement and the Additional Agreements to which the Company is a party and the performance by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. No other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the Additional Agreements to which it is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than, with respect to the Mergers, the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the Company Shares to the extent required by applicable law). This Agreement and the Additional Agreements have been (or will be) duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative (where appropriate) and constitute the legal and, assuming this Agreement and the Additional Agreements constitute the valid and binding agreements of Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II (where appropriate), valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable against the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement hereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c)    The conversion of the Company from a Utah corporation to a Delaware corporation was effected in accordance with all requirements of the Utah Act and the DGCL, the Plan of Conversion and the Certificate of Conversion (collectively, the “Delaware Conversion”). The Company’s board of directors and its stockholders duly and validly approved, adopted and authorized the Delaware Conversion and all documents related thereto as and to the extent required by the Utah Act, the DGCL and the Company’s Organizational Documents as they were in effect immediately prior to the Delaware Conversion. The Delaware Conversion did not (i) require any filing with, or permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, except for the filing of the

Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code of the State of Utah, or (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification, amendment, cancellation, suspension, revocation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Material Contract or Customer Agreement, (iii) violate any Law applicable to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien on any properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens.
SECTION 3.04    Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and/or the Additional Agreements to which it is a party by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (i) conflict with or violate any provision of any Organizational Document of the Company, (ii) require any filing with, or permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, except for (A) the filing of the Certificate of Merger and the Second Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (B) compliance with the applicable requirements, if any, of the Antitrust Laws, (iii) result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification, amendment, cancellation, suspension, revocation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Material Contract or Customer Agreement, (iv) violate any Law applicable to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets or (v) result in the creation of any Lien on any properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens.

All Parent Stock Options have been appropriately authorized by the board of directors of Parent or an appropriate committee thereof, and, if required, approved by stockholders by the necessary number of votes or written consent, including approval of the option exercise price or the methodology for determining the Parent Stock Option exercise price and the substantive option terms. Each Parent Stock Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code so qualifies, to the maximum extent permitted by the Law. No Parent Stock Option has been retroactively granted, or the exercise price of any Parent Stock Option determined retroactively. No Parent Stock Option or other right to acquire Parent Common Stock or other equity of any Person employed by Parent (A) has an exercise price that is or could be less than the fair market value of a share of the underlying stock as of the date such Parent Stock Option or right was granted as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, (B) had or has any feature providing for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of (x) exercise or disposition of such Parent Stock Option or right or (y) the time the stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Parent Stock Option or right first becomes substantially vested, or (C) has been granted with respect to any class of stock of any Person employed by Parent that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), in the case of (A) in this sentence, that would have, or be reasonably expected to result in, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date of the Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, material dispute or investigation by Parent which Parent intends to initiate.
SECTION 4.08    Parent IP.
(a)    To the knowledge of Parent, with respect to Patents and Trademarks only (but without having conducted any special investigation or patent or trademark search), Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, respectively, owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all Intellectual Property necessary for its business without any conflict with, or infringement, misappropriation or violation of, the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is Parent bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity, other than with respect to commercially available software products under standard end-user object code license agreements. Parent has not received any communications alleging that Parent has infringed or violated or, by conducting its business, would infringe or violate any of Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. To the knowledge of Parent, no Parent employee is obligated under any Contract (including licenses, covenants, instruments or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such employee’s best efforts to promote the interest of Parent or that would conflict with Parent’s business. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of Parent’s business by the employees of Parent, nor the conduct of Parent’s business as proposed, will, to the knowledge of Parent, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Contract, license, covenant, commitment, agreement or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. The conduct of Parent’s business does not make use of any inventions of any of its employees (or persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by Parent that are not assigned or licensed to Parent.
66


(b)    Parent has taken reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality and value of all trade secrets and confidential information, including confidential information of third parties in Parent’s possession or control, used or held for use in connection with the operation of Parent’s business as now conducted or presently proposed to be conducted. No material confidential information, trade secrets or other proprietary information of Parent have been disclosed by Parent to (or to the knowledge of Parent accessed by) any third party except pursuant to a valid and appropriate non-disclosure and/or license agreement (containing appropriate confidentiality obligations) that to Parent’s knowledge has not been breached.
(c)    The computer systems, Data processing systems, facilities and services used by or for Parent and its Subsidiaries, including all Software, Technology, networks, communications facilities, platforms, and related systems and services (collectively, “Parent Systems”), are reasonably adequate and sufficient for the needs and operations of the business of Parent. Parent has taken reasonable measures to preserve and maintain the performance, continuous operation, security and integrity of Parent Systems and all Software, information and Parent Data. Parent has taken commercially reasonable steps to provide for the remote site back up of Parent Data and information critical to Parent (including such data and information that is stored on magnetic or optical media in the ordinary course of business) in a commercially reasonable attempt to avoid material disruption or interruption to the business of Parent. During the two (2) year period prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no unauthorized access to or use of any such Parent Systems (or any unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of Software, information or Parent Data collected, held or managed by the Parent). With respect to any protected financial information or Personal Data, Parent has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws including Privacy Laws and all internal and posted policies relating to the collection, use, transmission, transfer (including cross-border transfer), disclosure, protection, security, or confidentiality of such information or Personal Data.

SECTION 4.09    Compliance with Other Instruments and Law. Parent is not in violation or default (i) of any provisions of Parent’s Organizational Documents, (ii) of any judgment, order, writ, or decree to which it is subject, (iii) in any material respect under any note, indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, Contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (iv) in any material respect of any Law applicable to Parent. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will not result in (i) any violation or be in conflict with any provision of any Organizational Document of Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II, or (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification, amendment, cancellation, suspension, revocation or acceleration) under any terms, conditions or provisions of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, Law or Contract to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or an event which results in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of Parent.

(d)    For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, Contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons or entities Parent has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections.
SECTION 4.11    No Conflict of Interest. Parent is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its officers or directors or to any members of their respective immediate families, in any amount whatsoever other than in connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business or relocation expenses of employees. None of Parent’s officers or directors, or any members of their respective immediate families, are, directly or indirectly, indebted to Parent (other than in connection with purchases of Parent’s stock) or, to Parent’s knowledge, have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which Parent is affiliated or with which Parent has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with Parent except that officers, directors and/or holders of capital stock of Parent may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent of the outstanding capital stock of) any publicly traded company that may compete with Parent. To Parent’s knowledge, other than with respect to employment agreements or indemnification agreements in substantially the form provided to the Company or their counsel, none of Parent’s officers or directors or any members of their immediate families are, directly or indirectly, interested in any material Contract with Parent. Parent is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.
SECTION 4.12    Rights of Registration and Voting Rights. Except as provided in the Parent Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Parent Warrants, Parent is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its currently outstanding securities or any securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of its currently outstanding securities. To Parent’s knowledge, except as
68


contemplated in the Parent Voting Agreement, no holder of capital stock of Parent has entered into any agreements with respect to the voting of capital shares of Parent.
SECTION 4.13    Title to Property and Assets. Parent owns its property, rights and assets free and clear of all Liens, except for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair Parent’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property, rights and assets it leases or licenses, as of the date hereof, Parent is in compliance in all material respects with such leases and licenses and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold or licensed interest free of any Liens other than to the lessors or licensors of such property, rights or assets.
SECTION 4.14    Financial Statements. Parent has made available to the Company true and correct copies of the following financial statements: (a) the audited consolidated balance sheets and the related audited statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 (the “Parent Audited Financial Statements”), and (b) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet for the twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2019 and for the two months ended February 29, 2020 and the related statements of income and cash flow of Parent for the twelve (12) month period and two (2) month period ended on such dates (the “Parent Unaudited Financial Statements” and, collectively with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Parent Financial Statements”, and December 31, 2019, the “Most Recent Parent Balance Sheet Date”). Each of the Parent Audited Financial Statements and the Parent Unaudited Financial Statements (i) presents fairly the financial position of Parent and its Subsidiaries and the results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby in all material respects and (ii) was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of the Parent Unaudited Financial Statements, to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end adjustments and other adjustments as noted therein. Since the Most Recent Parent Balance Sheet Date through the date hereof, there have been no material changes in the accounting policies of Parent or its Subsidiaries and no revaluation of any properties or assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Since December 31, 2016, Parent has not received notice or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, or internal procedures or accounting controls, methodologies or methods of Parent, including any written complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Parent has engaged in any questionable accounting or auditing practice, or regarding any violation of the securities laws.
SECTION 4.15    Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or set forth on Schedule 4.15 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), other than (a) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the Most Recent Parent Balance Sheet Date and (b) obligations under Contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not arising as a result of any breach or default of such Contract, which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
SECTION 4.16    Changes. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, since the Most Recent Parent Balance Sheet Date there has not been any material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating results of Parent from that
69


reflected in the Parent Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business that have not caused, in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 4.17    Employee Benefit Plans. Schedule 4.17 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth all employee benefit plans maintained, established or sponsored by Parent, or in or to which Parent participates or contributes, which are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Parent has no material liabilities existing under or in connection with any such employee benefit plan and each such employee benefit plan has been established and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms, and in material compliance with the applicable provisions of Laws except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 4.18    Tax Matters; Tax Returns, Payments and Elections.
(a)    As of the Closing Date, Parent has not taken or agreed to take any action, and does not have any reason to believe that any conditions exist with respect to Parent that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Neither Parent nor any member of a Relevant Group has any plan or intention to reacquire any of the shares of Series H-1 Preferred Stock (except as may be reacquired in the course of Parent’s regular historic reacquisitions of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock). Parent plans to continue the historic business of the Company in a manner consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d). Merger Sub II has at all times since formation been wholly owned by Parent and treated as a disregarded entity, and no election has or will be made to treat Merger Sub II as an association taxable as a corporation, for federal, state or local income tax purposes.
(b)    Except as set forth in Schedule 4.18 to the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent has filed all income and other material Tax Returns as required by Tax Law. These Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects except to the extent that a reserve has been reflected on the Parent Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. Parent has paid all material Taxes and other assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith that are listed in the Parent Disclosure Schedule and except to the extent that a reserve has been reflected on the Parent Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. The provision for Taxes of Parent as shown in the Parent Financial Statements is adequate for Taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. Parent has not elected pursuant to the Code, to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) that could have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Section 4.18(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent has not had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed against it for any period after December 31, 2015 that remains unpaid, and none of Parent’s federal income Tax Returns and none of its state income or franchise tax or sales or use tax returns for any period after December 31, 2015 is currently under audit by Governmental Authorities. Parent has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, independent contractors, creditors, stockholders and other third parties the amount of all Taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositories.

Parent, Messrs. Anthony Noto and Robert Lavet and Ms. Michelle Gill, and to Parent’s knowledge, its other officers, agents, representatives and employees are not in default in any material respect under any of such Governmental Authorizations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Additional Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein will not result in a violation of or be in conflict with or result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, limitation or forfeiture or nonrenewal of any Governmental Authorization applicable to Parent or any employee, agent, officer or representative of Parent.
SECTION 4.21    Severance Arrangement. Parent has not entered into any severance arrangements since January 1, 2019 with any employee that provides for a cash payment in excess of $75,000; provided, that Parent has entered into arrangements with service providers providing for acceleration of vesting of restricted stock or options issued to employees in connection with or following a change of control.

All Governmental Authorizations are valid, in existence and in full force and effect and Parent, any Subsidiary or any of its officers, agents, representatives or employees have
71


received no notice nor been made aware of any circumstances that could be expected to impair, limit or cause any delay, modification, revocation or suspension of any such Governmental Authorization or give rise to the foregoing.

If requested by Parent, the Company shall, after consultation with Parent, introduce Parent to Top Customers and Top Vendors of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of facilitating the post-Closing integration of the Company and the Subsidiaries and their businesses into that of Parent. All access and investigation pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be conducted at Parent’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, 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, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, be expected to (i) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege, work-product protection or other immunity or protection from disclosure of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) contravene any Law, any Contract entered into prior to the date hereof or any other obligation of confidentiality, or (iii) result in the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; provided that the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will attempt in good faith to make such alternative arrangements as may be reasonably necessary to provide the relevant information in a way that would not risk waiver of such privilege, immunity or protection or contravene such Law or Contract or result in such disclosure.

All access and investigation pursuant to this Section 5.06(e) shall be conducted at the Company’s expense.
81


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, be expected to (i) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege, work-product protection or other immunity or protection from disclosure of Parent or its Subsidiaries, (ii) contravene any Law, any Contract entered into prior to the date hereof or any other obligation of confidentiality, or (iii) result in the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; provided that Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will attempt in good faith to make such alternative arrangements as may be reasonably necessary to provide the relevant information in a way that would not risk waiver of such privilege, immunity or protection or contravene such Law or Contract or result in such disclosure. Parent shall have the right to have one or more of its Representatives present at all times during any visits, examinations, discussions or contacts contemplated by this Section 5.06.
(f)    The Company and Parent hereby agree that Section 9 of the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows, effective upon the date of this Agreement: “The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (a) December 30, 2022 or (b) the Closing Date (as such term is defined in any Agreement and Plan of Merger to which they are both party).”

If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of Section 5.06(f) shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect consistent with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement as amended thereby.
SECTION 5.07    Public Statements.

82


in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.08    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a)    Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, or employees, as the case may be (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other equivalent governing documents or in any agreement shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of at least six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby), to the fullest extent that both (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries would be permitted by applicable Law and (ii) required by the Organizational Documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company as the Company’s existing policies with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “D&O Tail Policy”). The cost of the D&O Tail Policy shall be borne by the Company. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Entity not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived; provided, that none of Parent or the Surviving Entity (the “D&O Indemnifying Parties”) or any Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to pay any premiums or other amounts in respect of such D&O Tail Policy.
(c)    The obligations of the D&O Indemnifying Parties under this Section 5.08 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.08 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.08 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.08).
(d)    In the event any D&O Indemnifying Party or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the D&O Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant
83


to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.
SECTION 5.09    Employee Benefits.
(a)    During the period commencing at the Closing Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide (i) each continuing employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries with base salary or wage rate and annual target bonus opportunity at least equal to the base salary or wage rate and annual target bonus opportunity in effect with respect to such employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) continuing employees with substantially comparable other employee benefits (excluding equity, equity-based compensation, benefits under the Company 401(k) Plan, defined benefit pension or retiree benefits but including vacation time, health, welfare and fringe benefits) in the aggregate as those provided to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    Without limiting Section 5.09(a), during the one (1) year period commencing at the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide to each continuing employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who experiences a termination of employment without cause, and who is not covered by an individual agreement providing for severance, cash severance benefits at least equivalent to the severance benefits such employee who would be entitled to upon such termination of employment under the severance policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(c)    From and after the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, continue to honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to, or in respect of, each employee and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each former employee and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the Closing arising under the terms of, or in connection with, any Plan disclosed in Schedule 5.09(c) in accordance with the terms thereof (including terms permitting the termination or amendment thereof).
(d)    For purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan) and entitlement to benefits, including the determination of the level of vacation and severance pay benefits under the benefit and compensation plans, programs, agreements and arrangements of Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective subsidiaries in which continuing employees are eligible to participate following the Closing (the “Parent Plans”), Parent and the Surviving Entity shall credit each such employee with his or her years of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such employee was entitled to credit for such service immediately prior to the Closing under any similar Plan, except where such crediting would result in duplication of benefits. Parent Plans shall not deny employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were waived or satisfied under similar Plans immediately prior to the Closing and shall credit such employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid prior to the Closing Date in the plan year containing the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses in such plan year.
84


(e)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.09 with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employee, former employee or any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Plan or Parent Plan, or (ii) to continued employment with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Surviving Entity. After the Effective Time, nothing contained in this Section 5.09 is intended to be or shall be considered to be an amendment or adoption of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Surviving Entity nor shall it interfere with Parent’s, the Surviving Entity’s or any of the Surviving Entity’s Subsidiaries’ right to amend, modify or terminate any Plan or Parent Plan (subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.09) or to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason; provided that the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.09(b).
(f)    Unless Parent and the Company mutually agree that no 280G Stockholder Vote is necessary, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, but in no event later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will submit to a stockholder vote (in compliance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) the right of any individual who is or could reasonably be expected to be, as of the Closing Date, a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive payments and benefits that could be deemed a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), in a manner reasonably designed to cause the payments and benefits that would otherwise constitute a “parachute payment” to be exempt from the definition of “parachute payment” by reason of the exemption provided under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (the “280G Stockholder Vote”). Prior to soliciting such 280G Stockholder Vote, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on all calculations, waivers, consents, disclosures, and other documents prepared in connection with the actions described in this Section 5.09(f), which comments the Company shall consider in good faith.
SECTION 5.10    Termination of Related Party Contracts and Plans.
(a)    All Related Party Contracts, other than (a) the Contracts listed on Schedule5.10, (b) Contracts referred to in Section 3.11(a)(xx) or Section 5.08 and (c) Contracts solely between the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between or among its Subsidiaries and referred to in Section 3.11(a)(v), shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and all obligations and liabilities thereunder shall have been satisfied (except to the extent that any such agreement contains provisions which provide for the survival of such provisions following the termination of such agreement and are set forth on Schedule 5.10(a), in which case such provisions shall survive such termination in accordance with their respective terms), including all Change in Control Payments related thereto. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that (i) any promissory notes that are Related Contracts or other promissory notes, loans or Contracts pursuant to which any current or former employees or other Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other current or former holders of any Options at any time owe or owed any amounts to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Equityholder Loans”) shall have been paid or otherwise satisfied in full in accordance with their terms prior to the Closing Date consistent with applicable law and (ii) any expenses or other amounts advanced or otherwise loaned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Related Party repaid to the Company in full, in each case prior to the Closing Date and with written evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Parent delivered to Parent prior to such date.
85


(b)    Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate: (i) the Company 401(k) Plan; and (ii) any other Plan requested by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, unless, in the case of clause (a), Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, provides the Company with written notice not to so terminate the 401(k) Plan at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Any termination of the 401(k) Plan must be reflected in resolutions of the Company’s board of directors entered into and effective no later than the day before the Closing Date, and the termination of any other Company Plans must be on the timing specified by Parent. The Company shall deliver to Parent, prior to the Closing Date, evidence that the resolutions have been adopted and the foregoing actions have been taken (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to prior review and approval of Parent at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as applies between Parent’s notice of termination of a Plan and the Closing Date)) before action is taken).
SECTION 5.11    Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto (other than the Stockholders’ Representative) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VI hereof that are within the control of such party or its controlled Affiliates.
SECTION 5.12    Tax Matters.
(a)    Subject to this Section 5.12, Parent and the Company shall file, or cause to be filed, all federal, state, and local Tax Returns required to be filed by them or its respective Subsidiaries on or before the date such returns are due (including any extensions) and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns on or before the date such payment is due. All agreements or arrangements the principal purpose of which is Tax sharing or allocation among the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Effective Time.
(b)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, fees and costs (including any associated penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Mergers, if any, shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Parent and fifty percent (50%) by the Equityholders. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate to prepare, and the Person(s) required to do so under applicable Law shall file, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any such Transfer Taxes. In the case of Taxes attributable to an entity treated for Tax purposes as a partnership or a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code or a comparable provision of Law) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds (with due regard to Section 958 of the Code) an interest as of the Closing Date, the Equityholders shall bear the portion of such Taxes that would have been due if the taxable year of such partnership or controlled foreign corporation ended on the Closing Date, without regard to any contrary provision of Law.
(c)    Without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Parent, the Company, and their respective Affiliates shall not, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, make, change or rescind any Tax election, claim a refund, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, or enter into any other transaction, in each case that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability the Company in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof, to the extent any of the foregoing would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax liability on the part of any Equityholder or any current or
86


former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to give rise to an indemnity obligation or other liability on the party of any Equityholder.
(d)    Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by law) and shall be submitted by Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Stockholders’ Representative, supporting documentation) at least 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. Parent shall in good faith make any changes reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include changes inconsistent with law or that result in material incremental Tax liability borne by Parent.
(e)    In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be:
(i)    in the case of Taxes (A) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (B) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (C) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and
(ii)    in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.
(f)    Parent agrees to give written notice to the Stockholders’ Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, involving Taxes that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof (a “Tax Claim”). Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.03 to the contrary, Parent shall control the contest or resolution of any such Tax Claim; provided, however, that Parent shall obtain the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of any such Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such claim, if such settlement or cessation would give rise to an indemnity obligation or other liability on the party of any Equityholder; and, provided further, that the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate and consult in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders).
(g)    The Stockholders’ Representative, the Company and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of the Stockholders’
87


Representative, the Company and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative, the Company or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.
SECTION 5.13    Stockholder Consent.
(a)    The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within twenty (20) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder Consent pursuant to written consents of the Stockholders with respect to which the execution of a Support Agreement is a requirement of Section 6.02(j) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. The materials submitted to the Stockholders in connection with the Stockholder Consent shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Promptly following receipt of the Stockholder Consent, the Company shall deliver a copy of such Stockholder Consent to Parent.
(b)    Promptly following, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after, receipt of the Stockholder Consent, the Company shall prepare and mail a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every Stockholder that did not execute the Stockholder Consent. The Stockholder Notice shall (i) be a statement to the effect that the Company Board unanimously determined that the Mergers are advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the Stockholders and unanimously approved and adopted this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide the Stockholders to whom it is sent with notice of the actions taken in the Stockholder Consent, including the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the bylaws of the Company and (iii) notify such Stockholders of their dissent and appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Stockholder Notice shall include therewith a copy of Section 262 of Delaware Law and all such other information as Parent shall reasonably request, and shall be sufficient in form and substance to start the twenty (20) day period during which a Stockholder must demand appraisal of such Stockholder’s Common Stock as contemplated by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. All materials submitted to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and reasonable approval.
In addition, as the Stockholder Consent is executed by additional Stockholders, the Company shall promptly deliver additional copies of the Stockholder Consent to Parent reflecting such additional Stockholders as signatories thereto.
SECTION 5.14    Termination of Equity Agreements. The Company shall take all action necessary to terminate the Equity Agreements at, or immediately prior to, the Closing.

The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent or any of its Affiliates) concerning (A) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Company; (B) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company; or (C) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Company’s properties or assets.

(a)    From time to time prior to the Closing, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Company Disclosure Schedule hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each a “Company Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Company Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) have been satisfied; provided, however, that if Parent has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Company Schedule Supplement, then Parent and each other
89


Acquirer Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and, further, shall have irrevocably waived any of their rights to indemnification under with respect to such matter (other than pursuant to Section 7.02(a)).

(c)    Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16, in connection with its delivery of the Spreadsheet no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent at such time a supplement or amendment to the Capitalization Schedule and Schedule 3.03(c) to the Company Disclosure Schedule, as applicable (the “Capitalization Update”), solely for purposes of reflecting thereon the occurrence of any of the following events between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time: (i) the conversion of any Company Preferred Stock to Company Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s Organizational Documents and in connection with the payment of the Liquidation Preference contemplated by Section 6.02(l), (ii) the exercise or cancellation (or change to the exercisability or vesting) of any Option and the issuance of any Company Shares in connection therewith, (iii) the surrender or cancellation of any Company Shares or any other Equity Interests of the Company in satisfaction of any Equityholder Loans, (iv) as expressly described in Schedule 5.01 hereto or (v) as expressly described in a Company Schedule Supplement that does not result in the termination of this Agreement. Such Capitalization Update shall be deemed to be a Company Schedule Supplement and shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Schedule solely for such purposes of reflecting the occurrence of any of the preceding events between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time.
SECTION 5.17    Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II.

In order to facilitate the issuance of such tax opinion, prior to
90


Closing, Parent and the Company shall provide Company’s counsel with certified officer’s tax representation letters containing the representations and certifications setting forth factual representations reasonably requested by the issuer of the tax opinion and on which such tax opinion will be based.

Except (i) as set forth in Schedule 5.24, (ii) as required by Law or Contract, (iii) as required or contemplated by this Agreement or (iv) with the prior written consent of the Company, during the period from the date hereof to the earlier of the Closing and the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII, (x) Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) conduct its business in the ordinary course of business, (B) preserve intact its present business organization in all material respects, and (C) keep available the services of its present senior officers and key employees.

Parent will promptly provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a true and correct copy of the final R&W Policy once issued. From and after the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or, if the Closing is consummated, continuing through the six (6)-year term of such R&W Policy, Parent covenants and agrees that it will not amend, terminate, or knowingly waive or modify any provision of the R&W Policy, in each case in a manner that would reduce the coverage provided to Parent under the R&W Policy as of the Closing. 50% of the R&W Policy Premium shall be borne by Parent.

It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 7.01 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the
97


time limitations set forth in this Article VII shall apply in the case of Fraud or to any action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedy to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.13.
SECTION 7.02    Indemnification in Favor of Parent.

SECTION 7.03    Indemnification Claim Procedure; Third Party Claims.
(a)    If any party entitled to receive indemnification under this Article VII (hereinafter an “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware that it has suffered or may suffer a Loss (other than with respect to a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is available under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party required to provide indemnification (hereinafter an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby as evidenced by the forfeiture of rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay. Such written notice shall describe the basis upon which indemnity is being sought, shall include a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred, shall include copies of material written evidence thereof (to the extent permitted and reasonably available to provide to the Indemnifying Party at the time such prompt notice is to be given) and shall indicate an initial estimated amount, if reasonably practicable based on information available to it, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case any remaining dispute regarding the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification in connection with such claim shall be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 9.09 herein or as otherwise agreed in writing between or among the parties and any of the Equityholders.
(b)    If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim under this Article VII made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim is sought prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby as evidenced by the forfeiture of rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of material written evidence thereof (to the extent permitted and reasonably available to provide to the Indemnifying Party at the time such prompt notice is to be given) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that Equityholders as Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier, Customer or other customer of the Company, (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any of the Indemnified Parties or (z) relates to or
99


arises in connection with any Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority, and provided, further, that in its notice electing to assume the defense, the applicable Indemnifying Parties agree to assume all Liabilities related to such Third Party Claim (including any and all Liabilities resulting from any settlement of such claim) and acknowledges its responsibility therefor under this Agreement. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.03(c), it shall have the right to take such action as it reasonably deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Section, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.03(c), pay, compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.
(c)    Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.03(c). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to Liability or any other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, then Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, together with any and all indemnifiable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the expiration of such period. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.03(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the procedures in this Section 7.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement are in conflict with the procedures in the R&W Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement or defense of claims in a manner that would impair the ability of any Acquirer Indemnified Party to comply with its obligations under the R&W Policy, the procedures in the R&W Policy shall control, but this Section 7.03(d) shall not relieve the Indemnified Party from its obligations under Section 7.03 to give notice to the Indemnifying Party.
100


SECTION 7.04    R&W Policy and Escrow.
(a)    For any and all indemnification claims under Section 7.02(a), the Acquirer Indemnified Party shall initially pursue such indemnification amounts under the R&W Policy, but only if and to the extent that the R&W Policy covers such indemnification (for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, after giving effect to any exclusion, retention, deductible, coverage limitation or other term or condition of the R&W Policy) and a claim under the R&W Policy in respect hereof has not been denied. For any and all indemnification claims under Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c), Section 7.02(d), Section 7.02(e) and Section 7.02(f) and all indemnification claims under Section 7.02(a) that are either not covered by the R&W Policy (for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, after giving effect to any exclusion, retention, deductible, coverage limitation or other term or condition of the R&W Policy) or that have been denied by the insurance provider of the R&W Policy or any underwriting or other representative of such insurance provider, the Acquirer Indemnified Party shall seek to collect such indemnification amounts from the Escrow Amount (to the extent of shares from time to time remaining therein) pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Except with respect to Stockholder Excluded Claims, from and after the Closing Date the Acquirer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse for claims against the Equityholders under Section 7.02(a) of this Agreement shall be against (i) the R&W Policy pursuant to the terms of the R&W Policy, and/or (ii) the Escrow Amount, until the Escrow Amount is reduced to no shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, with the value of any Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock used to satisfy such liability being equal to the Parent Stock Price; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedy to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.13. Subject to any subrogation rights under the R&W Policy for Fraud, for any claims by the Acquirer Indemnified Parties for indemnification (1) pursuant to Section 7.02(b), (2) pursuant to Section 7.02(c), (3) pursuant to Section 7.02(g) or (4) for Fraud by the Company or an Equityholder (collectively, the “Stockholder Excluded Claims”), if such Stockholder Excluded Claims are not fully satisfied by the R&W Policy (including, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, because coverage is not available under such policy due to any exclusion, retention, deductible coverage limitation or other term or condition of the R&W Policy, or a claim for coverage under such policy has been denied) and the Escrow Amount, then the Acquirer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to seek recourse directly from the Equityholders on a several, but not joint, basis in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (subject to the provisos to each of Sections 7.02(a), 7.02(b) and 7.02(c)) with respect to the amount of any such Stockholder Excluded Claim in excess of the amounts recovered from the R&W Policy and the Escrow Amount, provided that, except in the case of Fraud by such Equityholder and indemnification claims under Section 7.02(g), each such Equityholder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement for such Stockholder Excluded Claims shall not exceed the Merger Consideration actually paid to such Equityholder, with the order of recovery against such Equityholder for such Stockholder Excluded Claims being (A) first, against any Stock Consideration held by such Equityholder until the number or amount of shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock held by such Equityholder has been reduced to no shares of Parent Series H-1 Preferred Stock, (B) second, against any portion of the Seller Note allocated to such Equityholder and (C) finally, directly against such Equityholder.
(b)    In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Account shall terminate twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Escrow Termination Date”), upon which the Escrow Agent shall release as promptly as practicable, pursuant to a written direction jointly executed by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative and delivered to the Escrow Agent, the remaining shares
101


in the Escrow Account, if any (the “Residual Shares”), and, subject to Section 2.14(c)(i), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate to ensure that the Residual Shares so released are as promptly as practicable delivered to, and/or registered in Parent’s stock records in the name of, the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Stockholder Escrow Pro Rata Shares (reduced with respect to any Stockholder by any shares previously released from the Escrow Account in connection with claims against such Stockholder); provided, however, that any shares held in the Escrow Account as of the Escrow Termination Date necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied or unresolved claims for Losses that were made prior to the Escrow Termination Date shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been finally resolved, at which point any remaining Residual Shares not required to satisfy such claims shall be released as set forth above. The parties shall treat the shares held in the Escrow Account for all Tax reporting purposes as being owned by the Equityholders, and the Equityholders shall be entitled to all voting rights attributable to such shares and all dividends that may be declared with respect to such shares prior to the Escrow Termination Date; provided that in the event of the issuance of shares as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or similar recapitalization with respect to shares of Parent H-1 Preferred Stock that becomes effective prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement, the additional shares so issued (if any) with respect to any shares held in the Escrow Account shall be added to, and deemed a part of, the shares held in the Escrow Account.
(c)    Promptly following request by the other such party, each of Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall join with such requesting party to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written direction providing for the disbursement from the Escrow Account of any shares required to be disbursed therefrom pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05    Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
(a)    No Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) for breach by the Indemnifying Party of a particular representation or warranty that occurs or is identified after the expiration of the Expiration Date.
(b)    Except with respect to Stockholder Excluded Claims and breaches of the representations and warranties provided for in the first sentence of Section 3.01 (Organization), Section 3.02 (Capitalization), Section 3.03 (Authority) and Section 3.22 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Company Fundamental Representations”), no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification for representations or warranties under Section 7.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all indemnification obligations for Losses for such representations or warranties under Section 7.02(a) exceeds $6,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Parties shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Deductible.
(c)    The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (other than with respect to Fraud and breaches of the Company Fundamental Representations), shall not exceed $6,000,000, which shall be distributed solely from the Escrow Amount. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (other than with respect to Fraud), Section 7.02(d), Section 7.02(e) and Section 7.02(f), shall not exceed the Escrow Amount, which shall be distributed solely from the Escrow Amount. Except for claims against an Indemnifying Party arising from such Indemnifying Party’s own

Fraud or pursuant to Section 7.02(g), (i) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for claims arising from Fraud, pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.02(c) shall not exceed the Merger Consideration, and (ii) subject to the provisos in each of Section 7.02(a), Section 7.02(b) and Section 7.02(c), no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for more than such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of any such Losses.
(d)    For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party for purposes of this Agreement, such amount shall be reduced by: (i) the amount of any insurance benefits and proceeds actually paid to such Indemnified Party, or any Affiliate of any such party, in respect of such Losses net of any related deductible amounts and (ii) the amount of any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any other Person with respect to such Losses. No Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek, obtain or pursue any insurance, indemnification, contribution or other payment referred to in this Section 7.05(d) (other than with respect to the R&W Policy, but only to the extent coverage is available under the R&W Policy, after giving effect to any exclusion, retention, deductible coverage limitation or other term or condition of the R&W Policy, and no claim for coverage under the R&W Policy has been denied).
(e)    In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive or exemplary damages; except that any Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any such damages that become payable by any Indemnified Party to any third party.
(f)    Any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, as well as the amount of Losses arising from a breach of any representation and warranty, shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, in no event shall an Indemnified Party be entitled to duplicative recovery of the same extent of its Losses (or the same portion thereof) under both (i) Section 7.02(a) and (ii) Section 7.02(b) through Section 7.02(g) or under both (x) this Article VII and (y) Section 2.10 (to the extent such Losses are actually reflected as liabilities in the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Net Working Capital or unpaid Transaction Expenses, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10).
SECTION 7.06    Exclusive Remedy. Except (i) as provided in Section 2.16 and (ii) with respect to claims against an Indemnifying Party arising from such Indemnifying Party’s own Fraud, the parties agree that from and after the Closing Date, the exclusive remedies of the parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement or breaches of representations or warranties in any Support Agreement, Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement are the indemnification obligations of the parties set forth in this Article VII, and, subject to the foregoing exceptions, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or for any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in any Support Agreement, Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement it may have against any of the parties hereto under or based upon any Law; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedy to which such Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.13. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.06 shall not apply to Section
103


2.15, which shall be enforceable by the Stockholders’ Representative in its entirety against the Equityholders, and shall not prevent any Equityholder or its representatives, successors and assigns (or the Stockholders’ Representative on their behalf) from bringing a claim against Parent for any breach of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.07    Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03, as the case may be.
ARTICLE VIII

(b)    by either Parent or the Company at any time after 5:00 p.m. (U.S. Pacific Time) on July 5, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), if the Mergers shall not have been consummated on or prior to such date; provided, however, that Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) if such party’s failure to fulfill in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement has been the proximate cause of or primarily contributed to the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the Termination Date; provided, further, that if on such Termination Date, the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) (in each case, solely as related to Antitrust Laws) have not been satisfied, then the Termination Date shall automatically be extended for thirty (30) days, provided, further, that if, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) (in each case solely as related to Antitrust Laws) continue not to have been satisfied, then the Termination Date may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days by either of Parent or the Company upon notice to the other party, provided, further, that if, at the end of such additional thirty (30) day period, the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) (in each case solely as related to Antitrust Laws) continue not to have been satisfied, then the Termination Date may be extended only by mutual agreement of Parent and the Company;
(c)    by the Company, on the one hand, or by Parent, on the other hand, if, prior to the Effective Time, any Restraint or Law of the type set forth in Section 6.01(a) permanently preventing, restraining, enjoining, rendering illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts as required by this Agreement to remove such Restraint or Law; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(c) shall not be
104


available to a party if the issuance of such Restraint or Law or taking of such action was primarily due to the failure of such party, and in the case of Parent, including the failure of Merger Sub or Merger Sub II, to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;
(d)    by Parent, if any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III shall be or shall have become inaccurate or the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform (i) if it occurred or was continuing to occur on the Closing Date, would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.02(b), and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured by the Company by the Termination Date or, if such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by the Termination Date, the Company shall not have cured such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform prior to the earlier of (A) the Termination Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of notice in writing from Parent specifying the nature of such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform in reasonable detail and requesting that it be cured; provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if, at the time such termination would otherwise take effect in accordance with the foregoing, either Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II is in material breach of this Agreement;
(e)    by the Company, if any representation or warranty of Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II set forth in Article IV shall be or shall have become inaccurate or Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform (i) if it occurred or was continuing to occur on the Closing Date, would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b), and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured by Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II by the Termination Date or, if such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by the Termination Date, Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II, as the case may be, shall not have cured such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform prior to the earlier of (A) the Termination Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt by Parent of notice in writing from the Company specifying the nature of such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform in reasonable detail and requesting that it be cured; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) if, at the time such termination would otherwise take effect in accordance with the foregoing, the Company is in material breach of this Agreement;
(f)    by Parent, if the closing condition set forth in Section 6.02(h) (Stockholder Consent) shall not have been satisfied within thirty (30) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement;
The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any of clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 8.01 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 9.01 specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

105


no effect and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease, and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates hereunder, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, except that (i) this Section 8.02, Section 2.15(b), Section 5.07, Article IX and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement and remain valid and binding obligations of each of the parties and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from any liability or damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any Fraud or Intentional Breach occurring with respect to any of such party’s representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to termination, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(b)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02    Amendment; Waiver, Etc. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived if, and only if, such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, modification or supplement, by Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and the Company (or, following the Closing, their applicable successors) and the Stockholders’ Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the party or parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. 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.

SECTION 9.03    Assignment. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempt to assign this Agreement without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that Parent Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly-owned U.S. corporate Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II of any of their obligations hereunder.
SECTION 9.04    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
SECTION 9.05    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits, schedules, annexes and appendices hereto) constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 9.06    Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, void, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
108


Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any Legal Proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County 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 court within the State of Delaware).

The parties hereto further agree that any final and nonappealable judgment against any of them in any action, suit or
109


proceeding described in this Section 9.09 shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.09(B).

However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.
SECTION 9.10    Counterparts; Etc. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, email in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

SECTION 9.12    Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time, at the request of any party hereto and, except as otherwise set forth herein, at the expense of the party so requesting (in the case of the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders), each other party hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such
110


documents and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 9.13    Remedies. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Agreement are uniquely related to the desire of the parties and their respective Affiliates to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, that the transactions contemplated hereby represent a unique business opportunity at a unique time for each of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates and further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and further agree that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II, on the other hand, of any provision of this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such Order or injunction, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. In the event that any Legal Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.
SECTION 9.14    Knowledge. For purpose of this Agreement, (i) “knowledge” of the Company (or “the Company’s knowledge” or similar references) means the actual knowledge after due inquiry of each Person named on Schedule 9.14(i) to this Agreement, and (ii) “knowledge” of Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II means the actual knowledge after due inquiry of each Person named on Schedule 9.14(ii) to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15    Interpretation.

The term “or” is not exclusive, unless the context otherwise requires. The exhibits, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the other schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule or any other exhibit or schedule hereto but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders and the neuter. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no

Any agreement or instrument referred to herein shall include reference to all exhibits, schedules and other documents or agreements attached thereto. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. All references to any documents or other materials or information having been “provided to Parent” or “made available to Parent” or substantially similar references shall refer to any such documents or other materials or information posted, retained and thereby made available prior to the date hereof in the Project El Cap data room established by Dorsey & Whitney LLP and hosted by Box, Inc. All references to any documents or other materials or information having been “provided to Company” or “made available to Company” or substantially similar references shall refer to any such documents or other materials or information posted, retained and thereby made prior to the date hereof in the data room established by Parent and hosted by Intralinks, Inc.
SECTION 9.16    Legal Representation.

Parent (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as to all communications among any of Dorsey and the Company (including any of its managers, stockholders, members, officers or employees) that relate exclusively to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Company and shall be controlled by the Company and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that after the Closing a dispute arises between Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II or any of their respective agents or Affiliates and a Person other than the Company, or any of its agents or Affiliates, then Parent, Merger Sub, or Merger Sub II or any of their respective agents or Affiliates, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to or from Dorsey.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees, and Affiliates that only the Company is the client of Dorsey. After the Closing, it is possible that Dorsey will represent the
112


Company and its Affiliates including the Equityholders (individually and collectively, the “Sellers”) or the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or in the Escrow Agreement and any claims made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II hereby agree that Dorsey may represent the Sellers or the Stockholders’ Representative in the future in connection with issues that may arise under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the administration of the escrow fund and any claims that may be made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Each of the parties hereto consents thereto, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each such party shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection with this waiver.

Each Stockholder Releasor acknowledges and agrees that California Civil Code Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, if they exist, are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist.

Parent[, the Beneficial Owner] and the Stockholder intend that this non-solicitation provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every Restricted Person. [Each of the Beneficial Owner and] [T][t]he Stockholder agrees that damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach of this provision and that Parent shall, whether or not it is pursuing any potential remedies at Law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of preliminary and permanent injunctions without bond or other security upon any actual or threatened breach of this non-solicitation provision.

Parent[, the Beneficial Owner] and the Stockholder intend that this non- competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county or other political subdivision of each and every state or other area of the Restricted Territory. [Each of the Beneficial Owner and] [T][t]he Stockholder agrees that damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach of this provision and that Parent shall, whether or not it is pursuing any potential remedies at Law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of preliminary and permanent injunctions without bond or other security upon any actual or threatened breach of this non-competition provision.

U.S. $250,000,000
SOCIAL FINANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Payor”), for value received, promises to pay to the person or persons identified on Schedule I hereto (each, a “Payee” or, collectively, “Payees”) the principal amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule I together with accrued interest thereon, calculated and payable as set forth below (together with any PIK Notes (defined below) issued pursuant to Section 1.1 below, the “Note”). The principal and interest on this Note is payable in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at such place in the United States as Payee may from time to time designate in writing to Payor.
This Note is made pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated April 6, 2020 by and among Payor, SFI Acquisition Co., Inc., a newly formed corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Payor, SFI Financial Technologies LLC, a newly formed corporation limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Payor, Galileo Financial Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Delaware (the “Target”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Target’s equity holders. This Note is the “Seller Note” referred to in the Merger Agreement. Payee is receiving this Note pursuant to the Merger Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
1.    Payment of Principal and Interest
1.1.    Calculation and Payment of Interest. Interest on the principal balance of this Note outstanding from time to time until paid in full in cash shall accrue at the rate equal to the Applicable Rate per annum, computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as appropriate, for the actual number of days elapsed, commencing on the date hereof (and on the date of issuance with respect to any PIK Note). “Applicable Rate” shall mean (A) 10.0% prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below) hereunder and, (B) 15.0% after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, however, that if this Note is voluntarily prepaid in full in cash on or before the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof, “Applicable Rate” shall mean 0%. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, beginning on the last day of the first calendar quarter following the Issue Date and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter; provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall be payable monthly in arrears, beginning on the last day of the first month following the applicable Event of Default and on the last date of each month thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) until paid in full, and shall be made either (i) by the deemed issuance of a promissory note in a principal amount equal to interest accrued but not otherwise paid (by the issuance of a PIK Note or otherwise) on the principal



amount hereof through and including such Interest Payment Date and otherwise having such terms and provisions that are the same as the terms and provisions of this Note (each such promissory note a “PIK Note”), and Payor shall be deemed to have issued a PIK Note for any such interest and shall not be obligated to actually deliver any such PIK Note or (ii) by increasing the principal amount of this Note by the amount of such cash interest (such payment of interest, whether made under subclause (i) or (ii), the “Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the “Applicable Rate” shall mean 0% as a result of a qualifying prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1, all PIK Notes will (and any interest accrued on such PIK Notes) will be equal to $0.
1.2.    Payment on Maturity Date. The principal balance of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the principal balance of and any accrued and unpaid interest on any PIK Note) shall be payable in cash on [________], 20215 (the “Maturity Date”).
1.3.    Prepayment. Payor may, at its option at any time, without premium or penalty, prepay all or any portion of this Note. Any prepayment of this Note shall be applied as follows: first, to payment of accrued interest; and second, to payment of principal. Upon any partial prepayment, at the request either of Majority Payees or Payor, this Note shall be surrendered to Payor in exchange for a substitute note, which shall set forth the revised principal amount but otherwise be identical to this Note. In the event that this Note is prepaid in its entirety, this Note shall be surrendered to Payor for cancellation as a condition to any such prepayment.
1.4.    Payment Only on Business Days; Payments Free and Clear. Any payment hereunder which, but for this Section 1.4, would be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, shall instead be due and payable on the Business Day next following such date for payment. All payments hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction, withholding or offset and in immediately available funds, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.
1.5.    Tax Reporting. Payor agrees that none of the Interest accrued or payable pursuant to the Note shall be reported as “original issue discount” as defined in the Code, and, accordingly, no IRS Forms 1099-OID shall be issued in connection therewith and that the Note is not a “below-market loan” described in Code Section 7872; provided, however, that Payor shall be entitled to issue IRS Forms 1099-INT with respect to the portion of any cash payment on the Note that represents interest for federal income tax purposes actually paid in cash on the Maturity Date for the year in which such Interest is paid.
1.6.    Method of Payment. The Payor and each Payee agree that payment on this Note shall be made in accordance with Section 2.14(e) of the Merger Agreement, and that pursuant thereto all amounts owing hereunder shall be paid to the Paying Agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or its designee for further payment to (i) the Equityholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in proportion to their applicable Note Pro Rata Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (ii) to Qatalyst Partners LLC (“Qatalyst”) for the Deferred Transaction Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

(v)    If there is any change to the Stadium Name for any reason, including as the result of a Permitted Name Change, Naming Rights Partner shall bear all associated costs and expenses in connection with such change, including attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ fees, and all other costs and expenses relating to signage, promotion, branding, advertising, and marketing (and everywhere else the Stadium Marks, Stadium Name or Stadium Logos appears) and obtaining required consents and approvals associated with such change, including to replace, modify, reprogram, reproduce, or otherwise change or decommission signage; banners; building elements; wall and floor coverings; printed, electronic, and video materials; publications; video graphics and materials; staff and concessionaire uniforms; supplies; and all other materials and Assets regardless of format that need to be changed to effect the renaming and rebranding of the Stadium Complex with the new Stadium Name.

15.    Arbitration.
(a)    Disputes Subject to Arbitration. If there is any controversy, claim, or dispute (“Dispute”) related to or arising out of this Agreement, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by informal negotiation, subject to the Parties’ rights and remedies under Sections 6(b) and 6(d), except to the extent that immediate temporary injunctive relief is necessary to prevent harm to the aggrieved Party. If good faith negotiations are unsuccessful, the Parties may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into mediation, which would be held in Los Angeles, California before a mediator mutually agreed upon by the Parties. If the Dispute remains unresolved, the Parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction for the Dispute shall be binding arbitration before one (1) arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Either Party may commence binding arbitration.

The language to be used in any arbitration proceedings shall be English.
(b)    Arbitration Award. The award or other remedy rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, shall identify a winning party, and judgment may be entered upon the award in accordance with applicable Law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(c)    Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party acknowledges that the other Party will be irreparably harmed by a continuing breach of Section 10 and that, solely with respect to a breach of Section 10 (and no other provisions of this Agreement), each Party shall have the right to bring proceedings to enjoin such breach in any court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Sections 17(n) and 17(s), without commencing binding arbitration; provided that such right shall not diminish the right of the aggrieved Party to, alternatively, seek or obtain injunctive relief through the arbitration process set forth in this Section 15.

If the Appraiser determines that [***], [***] shall [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall [***].
(c)    Selection and Determination of Appraiser. The Parties shall agree on an Appraiser no later than ten (10) business days following receipt of an Appraisal Request under Section 16(a) or Section 16(b). If the Parties do not agree on an Appraiser within such ten (10) business day period, then each Party shall select an appraiser of its choice and the two (2) Party-appointed appraisers shall select a third person to serve as the Appraiser. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the Appraiser, each of the Parties shall submit a written position statement to the Appraiser describing such Party’s position with respect to [***].

Such determination shall be binding on the Parties (absent manifest error).
(d)    Appraisal Costs. Each of StadCo and Naming Rights Partner shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all fees of the Appraiser and all costs and expenses incurred by the Appraiser in connection with the appraisal under Section 16(a) or Section 16(b), as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a Dispute between the Parties with respect to the meaning, interpretation, or applicability of this Section 16, or with respect to any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this Section 16, then such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.
17.    Miscellaneous Provisions.

If, at any time after the Effective Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to comply with the NFL Rules or the rules and regulations of the NBA, NHL, NCAA, FIFA, CFP, U.S. Olympic Committee, International Olympic Committee, or a similar sanctioning or governing body, the Parties shall take or cause to be taken all such necessary or desirable action, including the execution and delivery of such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the other Party for such purpose.
(e)    Waiver. The failure by a Party to exercise any right, power, or option given to it under this Agreement, or to insist upon strict compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Agreement with respect to any other or subsequent breach thereof, nor a waiver by such Party of its rights at any time thereafter to require exact and strict compliance with all the provisions hereof. The rights or remedies under this Agreement are cumulative to any other rights or remedies that may be granted by Law.

If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.05    Interest Elections.
(a)    Each Borrowing of Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type (provided that Eurodollar Borrowings denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency may not be converted to ABR Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.02(c), the Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by hand delivery, telecopy or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written request (an “Interest Election Request”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be signed by the Borrower.
(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
33


If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, an Interest Election Request for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency (other than Euros) or EURIBOR Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Section 2.06    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a)    Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the sum of the Aggregate Total Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
34


(d)    If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess (with such reduction applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit of each Issuing Bank).
Section 2.07    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Borrower may inspect such accounts upon reasonable request.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (each such promissory note being called a “Note” and all such promissory notes being collectively called the “Notes”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
Section 2.08    Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to the requirements of Section 2.13), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(b)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in Dollars or a EURIBOR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar
35


Borrowing denominated in any Permitted Foreign Currency (other than Euros), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, four Business Days before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 and any costs incurred as contemplated by Section 2.13.
(c)    If at any time (i) the Aggregate Total Exposure exceeds the total Commitments then in effect (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or Letter of Credit Usage on any Calculation Date in accordance with Section 1.05) or (ii) the Aggregate Total Exposure exceeds 105% of the total Commitments solely as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or Letter of Credit Usage on any Calculation Date in accordance with Section 1.05, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Loans or Cash Collateralize the outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Usage at the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount of all Letter of Credit Usage, as applicable, to the extent necessary so that the Aggregate Total Exposure shall not exceed the Commitments then in effect.
(d)    Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment.
Section 2.09     Fees.
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay (or in the case of clause (ii), cause the Applicable Account Party to pay) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (i) an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the percentage set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” on the average daily difference between (x) the Commitments and (y) the aggregate principal amount of (1) all outstanding Loans plus (2) the Letter of Credit Usage during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates and (ii) a Letter of Credit participation fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, multiplied by the average daily undrawn amount of the Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination). Accrued fees under this Section 2.09(a) shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2018; provided that any accrued Unused Commitment Fees that remain unpaid after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All fees under this Section 2.09(a) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
36


(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause the Applicable Account Party to pay) directly to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:
(i)    a fronting fee equal to 0.125%, per annum based on the average daily undrawn amount on such Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and
(ii)    such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.
(iii)    The fees in clause (b)(i) above shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the Availability Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date.
(c)    The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, an upfront fee in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Commitments as of the Effective Date, which fee shall be earned, due and payable on the Effective Date .
(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the parties specified herein. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.10    Interest.
(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)    The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times when an Event of Default listed in paragraph (a) or (b) of Article 7 has occurred hereunder and is continuing, any overdue amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section and (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(e)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of
37


the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(f)    Subject to Section 2.19(d), the Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such amount is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Loans that are ABR Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Loans that are ABR Loans, Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans (as applicable).
(g)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.11    Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality.
(a)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, such Borrowing (x) if denominated in Dollars, shall be made as an ABR Borrowing or (y) in all other cases, shall be ineffective (and no Lender shall be obligated to make a Loan on account thereof).
38


(b)    If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings (if applicable) shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans of such Lender denominated in Dollars, convert all such Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, on the last of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with such payment) and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Loans of such Lender denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency (other than Euros) or EURIBOR Loans, prepay all such Eurodollar Loans and/or EURIBOR Loans of such Lender, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with such payment), in each case, as applicable. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.
(c)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.11(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.11(a) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable), (x) the administrator of the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for similar syndicated loan facilities in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such
39


related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.11(c), only to the extent the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing (x) if denominated in Dollars, shall be made as an ABR Borrowing or (y) in all other cases, shall be ineffective (and no Lender shall be obligated to make a Loan on account thereof).
Section 2.12    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender or such Issuing Bank;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or issuing, amending, extending, increasing or maintaining in place a Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon the request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
40


of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments hereunder or the Loans made by such Lender or the Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company or such Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its respective holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof; provided that a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank is not generally imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from other similarly situated borrowers under similar circumstances.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive (or has retroactive effect), then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.13    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or a EURIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount
41


for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.14    Taxes.
(a)    For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)    All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.
(c)    The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(d)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefore, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. No Loan Party shall be required to pay any amount under this Section 2.14(d) with respect to Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.14(c).
(e)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
42


Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)    (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as long as the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender, if it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be required by law or requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as required by law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
43


(a)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(b)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(c)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable; or
(d)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
44


(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(g).
(h)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, as applicable, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h), the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    For all purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes and shall apply equally to the benefit of each Issuing Bank.
45


Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.15    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Off.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment or performance hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment or performance shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or Letter of Credit; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
46


against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or paragraph (d) of this Section, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to satisfy such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.16    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Tax or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Tax or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
47


Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees so assigned) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts so assigned), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, (x) the applicable assignee shall have consented to, or shall consent to, the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (y) the Borrower exercises its rights pursuant to this clause (b) with respect to all Non-Consenting Lenders relating to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c)    Each Lender hereby acknowledges that such Lender shall be deemed to consent to any such Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16.
Section 2.17    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    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:
(i)    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 the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 9.02.
(ii)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19(i); fourth, as the 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 the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy (x) such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19(i); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank 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 the
48


Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the 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 Letter of Credit Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans, and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, were made when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements to all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations, without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv), are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). 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 pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    (A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the 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)    With respect to any Unused Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the 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 Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. (A) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Total Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. 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.
(B)    If the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
49


Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19 for so long as such Letter of Credit Usage is outstanding;
(C)    If the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is Cash Collateralized;
(D)    If the Letter of Credit Usage of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentages; and
(E)    If all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.09(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized.
(b)    If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the 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 the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv), 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 the 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)    If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
Section 2.18    Incremental Facility.
50


(a)    Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request prior to the Maturity Date, one or more increases to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of the Incremental Available Amount in the aggregate and not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between the Incremental Available Amount on such date and all such New Commitments obtained prior to such date), and integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and which may be contingent upon the closing of an acquisition or other transaction and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an eligible assignee under Section 9.04(b), subject to approval thereof by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in the case of a Person that is not a Lender, to the extent such approval is required in the case of an assignment to such Person pursuant to such Section 9.04(b) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a “New Lender”), to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (it being understood that the identity of such Lenders or other Persons may be amended after the date of such notice so long as the approval requirements of this clause (B), if any, are satisfied); provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (2) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by Borrower, the New Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14; (3) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13 in connection with the New Commitments; and (4) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the New Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with any such transaction.
(b)    On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Loans and Letter of Credit Usage outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Loan, and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the New Lenders, and (ii) the respective interests in such Lender’s Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18.
51


(d)    The terms and provisions (including pricing) of the New Loans shall be identical to the existing Loans. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.18.
Section 2.19    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Letters of Credit. During the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Banks agree to issue Letters of Credit (or amend, extend or increase an outstanding Letter of Credit) at the request and for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the “Applicable Account Party”) in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit and denominated in Dollars or in a Permitted Foreign Currency; provided (i) the amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 for Letters of Credit issued in Dollars (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the smallest amount of such Permitted Foreign Currency that is an integral multiple of 100,000 units of such currency and that has a Dollar Equivalent in excess of $100,000) or, in each case, such lesser amount as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank; (ii) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall (x) the Aggregate Total Exposure exceed the Commitments then in effect or (y) any Lender’s Total Exposure exceed such Lender’s Commitment; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, (iv) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in writing, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceed the Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit of such Issuing Bank then in effect, and (v) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (B) the date which is twelve months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the applicable Issuing Bank is able to prevent extension for any additional period by sending notice to that effect to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit; provided that such periods shall not extend beyond the date referred to in clause (A) above unless the applicable Issuing Bank consents to extensions beyond such date in its sole discretion (subject to cash collateralization arrangements, if any, separately agreed between the Issuing Bank and the Borrower); provided, further, that such Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at least one Business Day prior to the last Business Day that such Issuing Bank may send a non-extension notice; provided, further, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of such Defaulting Lender, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage at such time on terms satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP 98 shall be stated therein to apply to each Letter of Credit.
(b)    Notice of Issuance. Whenever an Applicable Account Party desires the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank an Application in use by the applicable Issuing Bank at that time no later
52


than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of the proposed date of issuance or amendment or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in any particular instance. Such Application shall be accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by the applicable Issuing Bank to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act or as otherwise customarily requested by the applicable Issuing Bank and shall specify the currency of such Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.19, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue, amend, extend or increase the requested Letter of Credit subject to no violation of any of, and only in accordance with, the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures and policies as in effect from time to time. If a Letter of Credit is requested in a currency other than Dollars, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue such Letter of Credit if it does not issue Letters of Credit in such currency as of the requested issuance date. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, extension or increase thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a Commitment of such issuance, which notice from the Administrative Agent shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, extension or increase thereof and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(e).
(c)    Responsibility of the Issuing Banks With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary(ies) 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, the applicable Issuing Bank 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. As between the Borrower, the Applicable Account Party and the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank or the proceeds thereof, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit; provided, however, the foregoing does not limit any of the Borrower’s or the Applicable Account Party’s rights against any such beneficiary. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Bank shall not be responsible or have any liability for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (viii) for any other action or inaction taken or suffered by such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any such Letter of Credit, if required or permitted under any applicable
53


domestic or foreign law or letter of credit practice; or (ix) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder or place such Issuing Bank under any liability to the Borrower or any Applicable Account Party. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in “good faith” (as such term is defined in Article 5 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code), shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower, any Applicable Account Party or any party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19(c), the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be excused from liability to the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party that are caused by such Issuing Bank’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, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
(d)    Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the applicable Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Applicable Account Party and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse (or cause the Applicable Account Party to reimburse), whether with its own funds, the funds of the Applicable Account Party or the proceeds of Loans, the applicable Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing, together with interest at the applicable rate provided in Section 2.10(g). If the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date, then (A) if the Unreimbursed Amount relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, automatically and with no further action, the obligation to reimburse such Unreimbursed Amount shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of the date when such payment was due, of such Unreimbursed Amount and (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Reimbursement Date, the currency and amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) (and the Dollar Equivalent thereof if the immediately preceding clause (A) is applicable), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(d) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing (which confirmation may be by telecopy or other electronic transmission); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower (or the Applicable Account Party) shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
54


date such drawing is honored that the Borrower (or the Applicable Account Party) intends to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank on such date for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Commitments to make Loans that are ABR Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.02, Lenders with Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Loans that are ABR Loans in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent (determined in accordance with Section 1.05) of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further, if for any reason proceeds of Loans are not received by the applicable Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall (or shall cause the Applicable Account Party to) reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.19(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Commitment from its obligation to make Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Loans under this Section 2.19(d).
(e)    Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance or increase of each Letter of Credit, without any further action by any Person, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender and each Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (with respect to the Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder (each such Lender purchasing a participation, a “Participating Lender”). In the event that the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party shall fail for any reason to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.19(d), the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who will notify each Participating Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Commitments. Each Participating Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable currency, and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent is located) after the date notified by the Administrative Agent. In the event that any Participating Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.19(e), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.19(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Participating Lender to recover from the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.19 in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of such Issuing Bank. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund participations pursuant to this paragraph
55


in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, or increase of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of ISP 98) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or after the expiration or termination of the Commitments or any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including those set forth in the following paragraph (f), and that each such payment shall be made without any defense, offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that if any Issuing Bank agrees, in its sole discretion, to extend any Letter of Credit issued by it beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, no Participating Lender shall have any obligation to fund participations with respect to such Letter of Credit after the Maturity Date. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, extending, or increasing any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, extended, or increased (or, in the case of an automatic extension permitted pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the notification of non-extension must be sent by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a), 4.02(b) or 4.02(e) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, extended, or increased (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, extend, or increase any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). In the event the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent who shall in turn distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.19(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Bank from the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the Administrative Questionnaire or at such other address as such Lender may request.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower and each Applicable Account Party to reimburse each Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.19(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower, any Applicable Account Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary(ies) for which any Letter of
56


Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower, any Applicable Account Party or any Subsidiaries or any other Person; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto; (vii) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of ISP 98) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or after the expiration or termination of the Commitments, (viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (ix) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(g)    Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.03, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save and hold harmless the Issuing Banks from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages and losses, and all reasonable and documented costs, charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel (with exceptions for conflicts of interest), one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), which the Issuing Banks may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of, or arising out of, in any way being connected with, or as a result of (A) any Letter of Credit, including without limitation, the use of the proceeds therefrom and any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. The Borrower will pay all amounts owing under this Section promptly after written demand therefor.
(h)    Resignation and Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank by providing at least 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding), the other Issuing Banks, if any, and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, (a) the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09 and (b) the replaced Issuing Bank may at its option remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall
57


continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letters of Credit.
(i)    Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) any such required Cash Collateral shall be made in Dollars unless such Cash Collateral is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency or outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements made in a Permitted Foreign Currency (in which case such Cash Collateral shall be deposited (x) in the applicable Permitted Foreign Currency in an amount equal to the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount of such undrawn Letters of Credit or outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements or (y) in Dollars in an amount equal to 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of such undrawn Letters of Credit or outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements (with the Dollar Equivalent amount subject to redetermination in accordance with Section 1.05(a)) and (ii) the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such Cash Collateral shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h), (i) or (j). Such Cash Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower and any Applicable Account Party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such Cash Collateral, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such Cash Collateral shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any disbursements under Letters of Credit made by it and for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower and any Applicable Account Party for the Letter of Credit Usage at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Usage representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Usage), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (or as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(j)    Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.19, the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall apply.
(k)    Upon the Effective Date, all Effective Date Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date and to be outstanding as Letters of Credit under this Agreement issued by the applicable Issuing Bank.
58


Section 2.20    Extension of the Maturity Date. Not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 10 days prior to, any anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon written notice (the “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request an extension of the Maturity Date for a period of one year; provided that no more than two such extensions may be requested pursuant to this Section 2.20. If the conditions in this Section 2.20 are met, the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date specified in such Extension Notice (which in no event shall be later than one year following the Maturity Date) for all Extending Lenders. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no later than 15 days after the date the applicable Extension Notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Commitment (confirming the date of extension and the new Maturity Date (after giving effect to such extension) applicable to such Extending Lender). The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Maturity Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Maturity Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Maturity Date the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Commitment by an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments, and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Commitment no later than 30 days after the date the applicable Extension Notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree). To the extent the aggregate amount of additional Commitments that the Extending Lenders offer pursuant to the preceding sentence exceeds the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments, such additional Commitments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. To the extent the aggregate amount of Commitments that the Extending Lenders have so offered to extend is less than the aggregate amount of Commitments that the Borrower has so requested to be extended, the Borrower shall have the right but not the obligation to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the Extending Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an Extending Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “New Extending Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 9.04, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before the date the Maturity Date is so extended as may be specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the respective New Extending Lenders and Extending Lenders, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower, dated as of the date of the Extension Notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower and the Guarantors approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, each of the conditions of
59


Section 4.02 shall be satisfied as of the date of the Extension Notice. Any extension pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by Borrower, the Extending Lenders, any New Extending Lenders, and the Administrative Agent. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.20.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed with respect to income, properties or operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) such returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for Taxes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby and (iii) each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, to the extent required by GAAP, for which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
Section 3.11    ERISA.
(a)    Schedule 3.11 to the Disclosure Letter sets forth each Plan as of the Effective Date. Each Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except where any failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all applicable tax law changes or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS, and, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no determination, nothing has occurred that would materially adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification). No ERISA Event has occurred, or is reasonably expected to occur, other than as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)    None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is making or accruing an obligation to make contributions, or has within any of the five calendar years
62


immediately preceding the date this assurance is given or deemed given, made or accrued an obligation to make contributions to any Multiemployer Plan.
(d)    There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)    The Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates have made all contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan save where any failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)    No Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 or 304 of ERISA. The Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary, and any ERISA Affiliate have not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4062(e) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions. None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate have incurred or reasonably expect to incur any liability to PBGC except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability, save for any liability for premiums due in the ordinary course or other liability which would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability, and no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate exists or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, is likely to arise on account of any Plan. None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.
(g)    Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have been timely made, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.12    Disclosure. (a) The written information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (other than the Projections (as defined below) and information of a general economic or industry nature and after giving effect to all

Section 3.13    Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.13 to the Disclosure Letter sets forth as of the Effective Date a list of all Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) and the percentage ownership (directly or indirectly) of the Borrower therein. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of all Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not listed on Schedule 3.13 to the Disclosure Letter (or any supplement thereto provided pursuant to Section 5.01(c)) is an Immaterial Subsidiary.
Section 3.14    Solvency. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are, and after giving effect to the Transactions, Solvent.

(i)    a Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;
(ii)    a Person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;
64


(iii)    a Person with which any Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law; or
(iv)    a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person.
(c)    The Borrower will not use, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to use, the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit or otherwise make available such proceeds or Letters of Credit to any Person described in Section 3.15(b)(i)-(iv), for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person described in Section 3.15(b)(i)-(iv) or in any other manner that would violate any Anti-Terrorism Laws or applicable Sanctions.
(d)    The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws, applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the officers of the Borrower, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, each of the officers of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and each of the directors and employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, are in compliance with applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions in all material respects.
Section 3.16    FCPA; Sanctions. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit will be used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or, to the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s knowledge, indirectly, (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of the FCPA or any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, financing or facilitating, is, or whose government is, a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Entity or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has, in the past five years, knowingly engaged in, or is now knowingly engaged in, transactions with any Person or in any country or territory in violation of applicable Sanctions in any material respect.

Section 5.11    Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
72


(a)    The board of directors of the Borrower may designate any Subsidiary, including a newly acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the following qualifications:
(i)    such Subsidiary does not own any Equity Interest of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary;
(ii)    the Borrower would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of the designation in an amount equal to the aggregate fair market value of all Investments of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary;
(iii)    any guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Section 6.01 or Section 6.08;
(iv)    neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of such Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results except to the extent permitted by Section 6.01 or Section 6.08;
(v)    immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such designation; and

Once so designated, the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to subsection (b).
(b)    A Subsidiary previously designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary which fails to meet the qualifications set forth in Section 5.11(a)(i), (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) will be deemed to become at that time a Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the consequences set forth in Section 5.11(d). The board of directors of the Borrower may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default.
(c)    Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary:
(i)    all existing Investments of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Borrower’s proportional share of the fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at that time;
(ii)    all existing Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time;
(iii)    all existing transactions between it and the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;
73


(iv)    it is released at that time from the Loan Documents to which it is a party; and
(v)    it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.
(d)    Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming, or being deemed to become, a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.11(b):
(i)    all of its Indebtedness will be deemed incurred at that time for purposes of Section 6.01;
(ii)    Investments therein previously charged under Section 6.08 will be credited thereunder;
(iii)    if it is a Material Domestic Subsidiary, it shall be required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement to the extent it is not an Excluded Subsidiary; and
(iv)    it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.
(e)    Any designation by the board of directors of the Borrower of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by promptly filing with the Administrative Agent a copy of the resolutions of the board of directors giving effect to the designation and a certificate of an officer of the Borrower certifying that the designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENTS
Section 8.01    Appointment of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Goldman Sachs Bank USA as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes Goldman Sachs Bank USA to act as the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof (except as expressly set forth in Section 8.07). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed, and the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Documents is not intended to connote, any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. No Arranger shall have any obligations in such capacities but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article 8 and Article 9.
Section 8.02    Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its Related Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person; and nothing herein or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
Section 8.03    General Immunity.
(a)    The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall not be (i) responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the
87


Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, (ii) required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or (iii) required to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall, 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 the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.
(b)    The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of 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 affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02). The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that any such appointment of a sub-agent, other than to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than any Disqualified Institution), shall require the express written consent of the Borrower and provided that,
88


for the avoidance of doubt, each sub-agent shall become bound by, and subject to Section 9.12. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 8.03 and of Section 8.06 shall apply to any the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 8.03 and of Section 8.06 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and its Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent that appointed it and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Commitments or Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.
Section 8.04    Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
Section 8.05    Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.
89


(a)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Loans and/or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.
(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment and Assumption or a Joinder Agreement and funding its Loans, if applicable, on the Effective Date, or by the funding of any New Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as applicable on the Effective Date, the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption or as of the date of funding of such New Loans.
Section 8.06    Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Applicable Percentage, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or the other Loan Documents; provided no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (it being understood and agreed that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until
90


such additional indemnity is furnished; provided in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
Section 8.07    Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to the written consent of Borrower and the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (ii) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by Borrower and the Required Lenders and the acceptance of being the Administrative Agent by such successor, or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
(b)    If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent or such successor has not accepted such appointment within 30 days after delivery of notice of resignation by the retiring Administrative Agent or the Removal Effective Date, the Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and such successor accepts such appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums held under the Loan Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Article 8). After any
91


retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 8.08    Guaranty.
(a)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Subject to Section 9.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.17 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented.
(b)    Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby agree that none of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall have any right individually to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 8.09    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or any Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender or such Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
92


Section 8.10    Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the 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)    to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
(b)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under Section 2.09 and Section 9.03 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(c)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and, in each case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each other Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the other Agents, the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and Section 9.03. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and Section 9.03 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the other Agents, the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any other Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
Section 8.11    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent
93

The Administrative Agent or the 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 the 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 telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (provided that any Lender may change its address or telecopy number by notice solely to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).
(d)    The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). 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 the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) be responsible or liable for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission, including, without limitation, the transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Party (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.01, including through the Platform.
(e)    In the event the Borrower shall have any publicly traded Equity Interests or other securities or otherwise files or is required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities
97


Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) , the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be Public Lenders and, if any document, notice or other information required to be delivered hereunder is being distributed through the Platform, any information that the Borrower has indicated contains Non-Public Information will not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such Public Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document, notice or other information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contains Non-Public Information, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on the portion of the Platform designated for Lenders that wish to receive material Non-Public Information with respect to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and its and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.01(e) shall create any obligation on the Borrower to indicate whether any information contains Non-Public Information, it being further agreed that if any such indication is provided by the Borrower in its discretion, such indication shall create no obligation on the Borrower to provide any such indication in the future.
(f)    Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United State federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non Public Information with respect to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or its or their securities.
Section 9.02    Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing Borrower and Administrative Agent may, without the consent of the other Lenders, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, typographical error, defect or inconsistency if such amendment, modification or supplement if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
(b)    None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such
98


amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including, without limitation, amending the definition of “Applicable Percentage”) without the written consent of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and, in the case of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing bank, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and, if applicable, the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, however, that notwithstanding clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.02(b), only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(d), (iv) change Section 7.02 or Section 2.15(b), Section 2.15(c) or any other Section hereof providing for the ratable treatment of the Lenders, in each case in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties provided by the Guarantors, without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent the release of any Guarantor is permitted pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.17 (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage referred to in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (vii) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01, or, in the case of any Loans made on the Effective Date, Section 4.02, without the written consent of each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.17 and Section 2.19 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks).
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended as contemplated by (i) Section 2.18 to effect New Commitments pursuant to a Joinder Agreement with only the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the New Lenders providing New Commitments, and (ii) Section 2.20 to effect an extension pursuant to an Extension Agreement with only the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Extending Lenders and the New Extending Lenders.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders or each directly affected Lender, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver; provided, however, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or fees owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender (other than in connection with the waiver of
99


any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(d)) or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this paragraph, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Section 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Arrangers, taken as a whole) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); and (ii) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Arrangers or any Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Arrangers, taken as a whole (and if reasonably necessary, of a single regulatory counsel and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest where the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, any Lender or any Arranger affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another primary firm of counsel for such affected person (and if reasonably necessary, of a single regulatory counsel and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction))), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans or Letters of Credit made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Arrangers and each Lender, and each Related Party, successor, partner, representative or assign of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a primary firm of counsel for all such Indemnitees (and if reasonably necessary, of a single regulatory counsel and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another primary firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee (and if reasonably necessary, of a single regulatory counsel and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction))), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
100


presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letters of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective action, suit, inquiry, claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available, (x) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), or (z) arise from any dispute between and among Indemnitees, to the extent such dispute does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) other than any proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Arranger, in each case, acting in such capacity. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. The Borrower will not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee in the settlement of any such indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or reasonable and documented expenses which is entered into by such Indemnitee without Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless there is a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff. In the case of any proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity and reimbursement obligations shall be effective, whether or not such proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its equityholders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto.
Without limiting in any way the indemnification obligations of the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.03(b) or of the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.06, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)    All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
101


Section 9.04    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section 9.04), Indemnitees (to the extent provided in Section 9.03) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:
(A)    the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)    the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans and subject to Section 2.16(c), the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $15,000,000 (or a greater amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
102


(B)    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;
(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of $3,500;
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
(E)    no such assignment shall be made to (i) any Loan Party nor any Affiliate of a Loan Party, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person, who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii), or (iii) any natural person;
(F)    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 the 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 the Borrower and the 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable 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; and
(G)    (a) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution (other than, in the case of participations (but not assignments), a Person who was a Disqualified Institution solely as a result of clause (c) of the definition thereof) as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on
103


which the assigning or participating Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate, as applicable, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a supplement to the list of competitors or potential competitors or investors in such competitors or potential competitors pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant (but such Person shall not be able to increase its Commitments or participations hereunder) and (y) such assignment or participation and, in the case of an assignment, the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (G)(a) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (G)(a) shall apply.
(b) The Administrative Agent (A) shall have the right (but not the obligation), and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to post the list of Disqualified Institutions and any updates thereto from time to time on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and (B) shall provide the list of Disqualified Institutions and any updates thereto to each Lender or Participant requesting the same.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 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 subsection (c) of this Section 9.04.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
104


entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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 the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 9.04(b)(iv), except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The Loans (including principal and interest) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of any Lender or its assigns in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. The parties agree that the Register is intended to establish that the Loans, Commitments and Letters of Credit are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), Section 2.15(d) or Section 8.06, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    (i)    Subject to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(G), any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (but not to the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof) (a “Participant”) in 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 owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements
105


and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law requiring a payment under Section 2.12 that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant.
(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the 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. 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty
106


at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.19(g) and Section 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the resignation of an Issuing Bank or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy (or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g. pdf via email)) means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 9.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other obligations at any time owing by such Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in
107


reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Issuing Bank and each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Issuing Bank or such Lender may have. Each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 9.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE UNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT (AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW.
(b)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES IT JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

(a)    Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and to not use the Information for any purpose except in connection with the Loan Documents and related matters, and to not disclose the Information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders (collectively, the “Credit Parties”) and their respective Affiliates from disclosing any Information (i) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process or to the extent requested or required by governmental and/or regulatory authorities, in each case based on the reasonable advice of their legal counsel (in which case such Credit Party agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority (or any request by such a governmental bank regulatory authority)) to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over an Credit Party or any of its Affiliates (in which case such Credit Party agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority (or any request by such a governmental bank regulatory authority)), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (iii) to the extent that such Information become publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by such Credit Party or any of its Affiliates in violation of any confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including those set forth in this Section), (iv) to the extent that such information is received by a Credit Party from a third party that is not, to such Credit Party’s knowledge, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (v) to the extent that such information is independently developed by any Credit Party without use of the Information, (vi) to each Credit Party’s Affiliates and to its and their respective employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents (“Representatives”) who need to know such Information in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and who are informed of the confidential nature of such Information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep such Information confidential (it being understood that each Credit Party shall be responsible for any breach thereof by its Representatives), (vii) with the Borrower’s consent (not to be
109


unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to Participants or potential or prospective Participants or assignees (in each case which are or would be permitted Participants or assignees under Section 9.04 and other than Disqualified Institutions) and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, who enter into a written agreement with or for the express benefit of the Borrower that they shall be bound by the terms of this Section (or a written agreement containing provisions substantially similar and not less protective of the Information than this Section); provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required with respect to any administrative notices from any Agent to any Lender and (C) during any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (viii) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure in writing, (ix) to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of any remedy or enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, (x) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (xi) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder and (xii) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Credit Parties in connection with the administration, settlement and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(b)    EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(A) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ACCORDINGLY, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
110


Section 9.13    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.14    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each Transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, each Arranger and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger or any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective equityholders or Affiliates, on the other.
Section 9.15    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for 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.
111


Section 9.16    USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and each Guarantor that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 9.17    Release of Guarantors. In the event that all the Equity Interests in any Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or, at the option of the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that a Guarantor ceases to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, promptly take such action and execute such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the termination of the guarantee of such Guarantor.
Section 9.18    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Section 9.19    Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that
112


the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. The obligations of any Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or under any other Loan Document or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder or under such other Loan Document (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below and is entered into by and between [NAME OF ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”) and [NAME OF ASSIGNEE] (the “Assignee”).

FORM OF GUARANTY
This GUARANTY, dated as of [_ _, 20_] (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), made by and among each of the undersigned guarantors (together with any other entity that becomes a guarantor hereunder, each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined below), the Issuing Banks (as defined below) and the Administrative Agent.
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Social Finance, Inc. (the Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the issuing banks from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Issuing Banks”) and the Administrative Agent.
Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower.
It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans (this, and each other capitalized term used but not defined in these recitals being defined as set forth in Section 1) to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that each Subsidiary required to be a Guarantor as of the Effective Date shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent this Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit and/or issuance of Letters of Credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to continue to extend such credit and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Accordingly, for valuable consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Definitions. (a) Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.
(b)    The rules of construction specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Agreement.
SECTION 2.    Guarantee. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Borrower. Each Guarantor further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of the Borrower may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to be liable under this Guaranty, without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding amount of the
E-1


Loans or other Obligations and other future increases in the Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof.
(b)     Each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of each other Guarantor or any other guarantee of the Obligations of the Borrower and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against guarantee of the Obligations of the Borrower or any right of offset with respect thereto.
(c)    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement (including under Section 2(b) above), any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of any other Loan Document or other agreement; (iv) the failure or delay of any Guaranteed Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; (v) the failure of any Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument; (vi) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (vii) any increases in the outstanding amount of Loans and other Obligations; or (viii) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of any Guarantor to subrogation (other than payment in full of the Obligations (excluding contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) or release pursuant to Section 17 hereof).
(d)     Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Guaranteed Party to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guaranteed Party in favor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Person.
(e)    No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of the Obligations) remain liable under this Guaranty until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Commitments shall have expired or terminated, all Obligations (excluding contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) under the Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full and the
E-2


cancellation, expiration or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Banks in an amount equal to the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount of all Letter of Credit Usage shall have occurred (the “Termination Date”) and (ii) the release or termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as provided in Section 17.
(f)    Except for the release or termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as provided in Section 17, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (excluding contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made), and shall not be subject to any defense, setoff, reduction, counterclaim, recoupment, discharge or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise.
(g)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise.
(h)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Guaranteed Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation as and when the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Guaranteed Parties in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable law, including applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(j)    All rights and claims arising under this Section 2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Guarantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior discharge of the Obligations. Until complete and satisfactory discharge of the Obligations, no Guarantor shall demand or receive any payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership or insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.
SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties; Additional Agreements. (a) Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that the representations and
E-3


warranties set forth in Section 3 of the Credit Agreement, each of which as they relate to such Guarantor is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct, in all material respects, except for representations and warranties that are qualified as to “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any such qualification therein) in all respects as of such date, in each case, unless expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each of such representations and warranties as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 3(a), be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.
(b)    Until the Termination Date, each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties that it will be bound by each of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable to such Guarantor.
SECTION 4.    Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that no Guaranteed Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 5.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.    Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or on its behalf and notwithstanding that a Guaranteed Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation (excluding contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 7.    Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Successors and Assigns. (a) This Agreement shall become effective as to each Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether any other Guarantor has executed and delivered a counterpart hereof) and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Following the effectiveness of this Agreement as to a Guarantor in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 7, this Agreement shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the
E-4


Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 8.    [Reserved]
SECTION 9.    Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in each case, to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(c)    Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations. The provisions of this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 10    APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE UNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT (AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW.
SECTION 11.    Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Guaranteed Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Guaranteed Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 11, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
E-5


specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Except as expressly contemplated by Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into between the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 12.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES IT JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
SECTION 13.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
SECTION 14.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 15.    Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 16.    Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or other Guaranteed Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in sub-section (a) of this Section 16. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 17.    Termination; Release of a Guarantor. (a) This Agreement and the guarantees set forth herein shall terminate on the Termination Date.
(b)    In the event that all the Equity Interests in any Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement or, at the option of the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that a Guarantor ceases to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, promptly take such action and execute such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the termination of the guarantee of such Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 18.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guaranteed Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other obligations at any time owing by such Guaranteed Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Guaranteed Party irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
E-7


for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Guaranteed Party under this Section 18 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Guaranteed Party may have. Each Guaranteed Party agrees to notify such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _, 20_ , is entered into by and among the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof, in favor of the Agent (as defined below).
Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Social Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) and the other parties from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Each of the undersigned Loan Parties listed on the signature page hereto as a “Payor” (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”) is now or may hereafter become indebted or otherwise obligated to such other Person listed below as a “Payee” (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”) in respect of Indebtedness (including trade payables) (the unpaid principal amount and all other amounts payable in respect thereof, “Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee that is not a Loan Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the Obligations until the payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet validly asserted) and the termination or expiration of all Commitments and the cancellation or expiration or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing and such Payor has not received notice thereof from the Agent (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under Section 7.01(h), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) of the Credit Agreement) (such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Senior Indebtedness”).
(i)    In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relating to any Payor or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor (except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than contingent obligations not yet
H-1


validly asserted) before any Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Agreement and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than contingent obligations not yet validly asserted), any payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Agreement, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
(ii)    If any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and is continuing after prior written notice from the Agent (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under Section 7.01(h), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) of the Credit Agreement) to the Borrower, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor, or any other Person on its behalf, with respect to any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness.
(iii)    If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, with respect to any amounts outstanding under any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of Section 1(i) or Section 1(ii) above prior to all Senior Indebtedness having been paid in full in cash (other than contingent obligations not yet validly asserted), such payment or distribution shall be held by such Payee in trust (segregated from other property of such Payee) for the benefit of the Agent, and shall be paid over or delivered in accordance with the Loan Documents.
(iv)    Each Payee agrees to file all claims against each relevant Payor in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness, and the Agent shall be entitled to all of such Payee’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Payee fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Payee hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and the Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Payee’s name to file such claim or, in the Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Payee hereby assigns to the Agent all of such Payee’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Payee otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Payee’s liability hereunder, the Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto pursuant to the Loan Documents and applicable law. In addition, each Payee hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Payee’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of each relevant Payor.
(v)    Each Payee waives the right to compel that any property of any Payor or any property of any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person be applied in any
H-2


particular order to discharge such Senior Indebtedness. Each Payee expressly waives the right to require the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness to proceed against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in its or their power that such Payee cannot pursue and that would lighten such Payee’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of the Agent or any such other holder to do so may thereby prejudice such Payee. Each Payee agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder reduced (i) as a result of any delay by the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person; (ii) by the Agent or any holder of Senior Indebtedness releasing any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) by the discharge of any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of the Agent or any such holder.
(vi)    Each Payee waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, even though that election of remedies, including any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any property securing any Senior Indebtedness (if any), has impaired the value of such Payee’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person. Each Payee expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other Person with respect to the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import that limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of property or assets securing any Senior Indebtedness (if any).
(vii)    Each Payee agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Indebtedness made by the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Agent or such holder, and any Senior Indebtedness may be continued, and the Senior Indebtedness or the liability of any Payee, any guarantor thereof or any other Person obligated thereunder, or any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, in each case without notice to or further assent by such Payee, which will remain bound hereunder, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein.
(viii)    Each Payee waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any Senior Indebtedness, and any and all notice of or proof of reliance by holders of Senior Indebtedness upon the subordination provisions set forth herein. The Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred, and the consent to create the obligations of any Payee with respect to Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have been given, in reliance upon the subordination provisions set forth herein.
H-3


(ix)    To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Payee waives any claim it might have against the Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Agent or any such holder, or any of their Related Parties, with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any such holder, as the case may be, or any of its Related Parties, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. None of the Agent, any other holder of Senior Indebtedness or any of their Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any property upon the request of any Payor, any Payee or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any such guarantee or any other property.
Each Payee and each Payor hereby agree that the subordination provisions set forth in this Agreement are for the benefit of the Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness are obligees under this Agreement to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Agent may, on behalf of itself and such other holders, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions set forth herein.
All rights and interests of the Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness hereunder, and the subordination provisions and the related agreements of the Payors and Payees set forth herein, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Indebtedness or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii)    any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of or consent to departure from, any guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness; or
(iv)    any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Payor in respect of any Senior Indebtedness or of any Payee or any Payor in respect of the subordination provisions set forth herein.
The Indebtedness owed by any Payor to a Loan Party that is a Payee shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.
Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended
H-4


to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
This Agreement shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and its successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Agreement supplements any and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on, before or after the date hereof by any Payee to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Borrower may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.
No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by each Payor and Payee whose rights or obligations shall be affected thereby; provided that, until such time as (i) all the Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent obligations not yet validly asserted) and (ii) all Commitments have terminated or expired and all Letters of Credit have been cancelled, are expired or have been Cash Collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent shall have provided its prior written consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld to the extent such amendment or modification is required to comply with any applicable law or is not adverse to the interests of the Lenders).
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, AND PROJECT
1.1    Premises, Building, and Project.
1.1.1    The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the "Premises"). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the "Building," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the "Project," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Tenant Work Letter"), Tenant shall accept the Premises in its presently existing "as-is" condition and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant's business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The commencement of business operations from the Premises by Tenant shall presumptively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, except for (i) minor "punchlist" matters related to the Premises or Building which are brought to Landlord's attention within thirty (30) days after Tenant commences business operations from the Premises; (ii) latent defects in the performance of work required to satisfy the "Delivery Condition", as that term is defined in Section 1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto, which are brought to Landlord's attention on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date; and (iii) Landlord's obligations set forth in Section 5.4 and Articles 7 and 24 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Delivery Date, the Building Structure (including the roof, roof membrane and skylights) and the HVAC system constituting a Building System (the "Warranted Items") shall be in good working condition and repair, and Landlord hereby covenants that the Warranted Items shall remain in good working condition until the later of (A) twelve (12) months following the Lease Commencement Date and (B) April 30, 2020 ("Landlord's Warranty Period"). Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (which shall not be deemed an Operating Expense, as that term is defined in Section 4.2.3), repair or replace any failed or inoperable portion of the Warranted Items during the Landlord's Warranty Period, provided that the need to repair or replace was not caused by the misuse, misconduct, damage, destruction, omissions, and/or negligence (collectively, "Tenant Damage") of Tenant, its subtenants and/or assignees, if any, or any Tenant Parties, as that term is defined in Section 10.8, below, by any modifications, Alterations, as that term is defined in Section 8.1 below, or improvements (including the Tenant Improvements, as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Work Letter) constructed by or on behalf of Tenant, or
-5-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


by Tenant's failure to comply with the terms of Article 7 below. Landlord's warranty set forth in this Section 1.1.1 shall not be deemed to require Landlord to replace any portion of the Warranted Items, as opposed to repair such portion of the Warranted Items, unless prudent commercial property management practices dictate replacement rather than repair of the item in question. To the extent repairs which Landlord is required to make pursuant to this Section 1.1.1 are necessitated in part by Tenant Damage, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for an equitable proportion of the cost of such repair. If it is determined that the Warranted Items (or any portion thereof) were not in good working condition and repair as of the Delivery Date, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, but as Tenant's sole remedy, Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, shall promptly commence such work or take such other action as may be necessary to place the same in good working condition and repair, and shall thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion.
1.1.2    The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the "Building"). The term "Project," as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building, and (ii) the land upon which the Building is located.
1.13    Tenant Access. Except when and where Tenant's right of access is specifically excluded in this Lease, and except in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, and the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the "Lease Term", as that term is defined in Section 2.1 below.
1.1.4    RSF of Premises and Building. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the RSF of the Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary and the RSF of the Building is as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM
2.1    Initial Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall commence on the "Lease Commencement Date," as that term is set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary, and shall terminate on the "Lease Expiration Date," as that term is set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. This Lease is effective and binding upon Landlord and Tenant upon mutual execution and delivery hereof, notwithstanding the later Lease Commencement Date. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Lease Year" shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided, however the first Lease Year shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and end on the last day of the twelfth (12th) full calendar month thereafter. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided that if such notice is not factually correct, then Tenant shall make such changes as are necessary to make such notice factually correct and shall thereafter return such notice to Landlord within said ten (10) business day period. Tenant's failure to execute and return such notice to Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the information set forth in such notice is as specified therein.

2.2    Option Terms.
2.2.1    Option Right. Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee two (2) option(s) to extend the Lease Term each for a period of five (5) years (each an "Option Term" and, together, the "Option Terms"). Such options shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice (an "Option Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the "Option Conditions") are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in material economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease; (ii) as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant is not in material economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease; (iii) Tenant has not previously been in material economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease more than two (2) times during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period; and (iv) this Lease then remains in full force and effect and the Original Tenant or any Permitted Transferee occupies at least three (3) floors of the Building. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, exercised in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of each such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee and may be exercised by Original Tenant or any Non-Transferee Assignee only (and not by any other Transferee (as that term is defined in Section 14.1 below) of Tenant's interest in this Lease).
2.2.2    Option Rent. The annual Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term (the "Option Rent") shall be equal to the "Fair Market Rent Rate," as that term is defined below, for the Premises as of the commencement date of such Option Term. The "Fair Market Rent Rate," as used in this Lease, shall be determined by calculating the net rent, which net rent shall then be adjusted on an effective basis, which net effective rent shall then be present valued and reduced by all upfront concessions and, thereafter, shall be future valued into an average annual constant rental rate figure (collectively, the "Constant Rate Equivalent Approach"). The Fair Market Rent Rate shall take into consideration any "base year" or "expense stop" applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which tenants (pursuant to leases consummated within the eighteen (18) month period preceding the first day of the Option Term), are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-fixed rate options, non-equity space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises, for a term of five (5) years, in an arm's length transaction, which comparable space is located in "Comparable Buildings," as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2, below (transactions satisfying the foregoing criteria shall be known as the "Comparable Transactions"), and taking into consideration differences in the age and quality of such buildings, the differences in the historical rental rates ascribed to such buildings, the floor height of, and the views from, the comparable space vis-à-vis the subject space, and making adjustments for the following concessions (the "Concessions"): (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, and taking into account the value, if any, of the existing improvements in the subject space (excluding the value of improvements in the

[Social Finance, Inc.]


Premises paid for by Tenant, as opposed to paid for from any allowance provided by Landlord), such value to be based upon the age, condition, design, quality of finishes and layout of the improvements; and (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Rent Rate, no consideration shall be given to any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in comparable transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces. If, upon request by Tenant, Landlord provides a tenant improvement allowance as set forth below, the Fair Market Rent Rate shall additionally include a separate determination (which shall not affect the rental amount that is determined to be the Option Rent) as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with a letter of credit for Tenant's Rent obligations in connection with Tenant's lease of the Premises during the Option Term. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions with comparable tenant improvement allowances with respect to tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants). The Concessions (A) shall be reflected in the effective rental rate (which effective rental rate shall take into consideration the total dollar value of such Concessions as amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term of the Comparable Transaction (in which case such Concessions evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant in kind)) payable by Tenant, or (B) at Tenant's request, subject to Landlord's approval, all such Concessions shall be granted to Tenant in kind; provided, however, if Tenant requests all or a portion of such Concessions to be granted to Tenant in kind and Landlord does not approve such request by Tenant, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with an improvement allowance in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow Tenant to re-carpet and re-paint the Premises (and any remaining Concessions, including any additional improvement allowance owed to Tenant, shall be reflected in the effective rental rate pursuant to item (A), above). For purposes of this Lease, the term "Comparable Buildings" shall mean first-class single-tenant or multi-tenant occupancy office buildings which are comparable to the Building in terms of age, size and appearance, and are located in the "Comparable Area," which is the area bound by the Embarcadero to the North side of Harrison Street, the East side of Third Street and the South side of Market Street (the "South Financial District"). In addition, in determining the Fair Market Rent Rate, the difference between the Building and the Comparable Buildings in terms of historical significance, availability of signage opportunities and proximity to mass transit or freeways, shall be taken into account and the Fair Market Rent Rate shall be appropriately adjusted (to the extent such factors normally affect the rent received by the landlord of the Comparable Buildings) to reflect the existence or non-existence of such factors and all other relevant factors. In the event the Neutral Arbitrator determines that there are not enough Comparable Transactions in the Comparable Area in order to accurately determine the Fair Market Rent Rate, then the Comparable Area shall be expanded to include the area which is bound by the Embarcadero to the North side of Market Street, the South side of Washington Street, and the East side of Kearny Street (the "North Financial District"); provided, however, the rental rates in any Comparable Transaction located in the North Financial District shall be adjusted to account for the historical differences in rental rates typically achieved in the South Financial District as compared to the historical differences in rental rates typically achieved in the North Financial District.

2.2.3    Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises an option to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 2.2.1, above, then Landlord shall deliver written notice (the "Landlord Response Notice") to Tenant on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the Exercise Notice of Landlord's determination of the Option Rent. Within ten (10) days following its receipt of the Landlord Response Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it accepts or objects to the Option Rent set forth in Landlord's Response Notice. In the event that Tenant in good faith objects to Landlord's determination of the Option Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then the Option Rent shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3. Each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent, within five (5) days following the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 2.2.3.1 through Section 2.2.3.4, below. The determination of the arbitrators shall be made by taking into consideration all Comparable Transactions as calculated under the Constant Rate Equivalent Approach.
2.2.3.1    Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a MAI appraiser or real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraising and/or leasing of Comparable Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2, above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions (including an arbitrator who has previously represented Landlord and/or Tenant, as applicable). The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed "Advocate Arbitrators."
2.2.3.2    The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator ("Neutral Arbitrator") who shall be an appraiser (as opposed to a real estate broker or an attorney) qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that (i) neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties' Advocate Arbitrator may, directly, or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance, and (ii) the Neutral Arbitrator cannot be someone who has represented Landlord and/or Tenant during the five (5) year period prior to such appointment. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord's counsel and Tenant's counsel.
2.2.3.3    If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria set forth in Section 2.2.3.1 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator.

2.2.3.4    If the two Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section 2.2.3.1 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator.
2.2.3.5    The costs of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be split equally by Landlord and Tenant. The costs of the Advocate Arbitrator representing Tenant shall be borne by Tenant. The costs of the Advocate Arbitrator representing Landlord shall be borne by Landlord. The costs of petitioning any judge under Section 2.2.3.3, above, shall be borne by the party failing to timely appoint the Advocate Arbitrator. The costs of petitioning any judge under Section 2.2.3.4 shall be split equally by Landlord and Tenant.
2.2.3.6    Within ten (10) days following the appointment of the Arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an arbitration agreement (the "Arbitration Agreement") which shall set forth the following:
2.2.3.6.1    Each of Landlord's and Tenant's best and final and binding determination of the Option Rent exchanged by the parties pursuant to Section 2.2.3, above;

2.2.3.6.3    Instructions to be followed by the Neutral Arbitrator when conducting such arbitration, which instructions shall be mutually and reasonably prepared by Landlord and Tenant and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Lease;
2.2.3.6.4    That Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to submit to the Neutral Arbitrator (with a copy to the other party), on or before the date that occurs fifteen (15) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, an advocate statement (and any other information such party deems relevant) prepared by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in support of Landlord's or Tenant's respective determination of the Fair Market Rent Rate (the "Briefs");
2.2.3.6.5    That within five (5) business days following the exchange of Briefs, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to provide the Neutral Arbitrator (with a copy to the other party) with a written rebuttal to the other party's Brief (the "First Rebuttals"); provided, however, such First Rebuttals shall be limited to the facts and arguments raised in the other party's Brief and shall identify clearly which argument or fact of the other party's Brief is intended to be rebutted;

Subject to Section 3.2 below, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to 246 First Street (SF) Owner LLC, 4700 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90010, or, at Landlord's option, to such other party or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by notice to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 of this Lease, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except as expressly provided in this Lease. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term shall be paid at the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.
3.2    Rent Abatement. During the initial six (6) full calendar months of the Lease Term (the "Rent Abatement Period"), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent or Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses (as those terms are defined below) otherwise attributable to the Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the "Rent Abatement"). If the Lease Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then promptly following expiration of the Rent Abatement Period, Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord for the partial month in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs.

If Tenant shall be in monetary default under this Lease, and shall fail to cure such default within the notice and cure period, if any, permitted for cure pursuant to terms and conditions of this Lease, then, as of expiration of the date to cure such default, the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent for the Premises in full.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1    General Terms. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay "Tenant's Share" of the annual "Building Direct Expenses", as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.1 of this Lease, respectively. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent," and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as "Rent." All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent and of Landlord to refund any over-payment of Additional Rent, as provided for in this Article 4, shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord shall make necessary adjustments for differences between actual and estimated Additional Rent in accordance with Section 4.4, below.

4.2.3    "Operating Expenses" shall be calculated in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting principles, consistently applied from year to year, and shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting principles, consistently applied from year to year, during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the management, maintenance, repair, replacement or operation of the Project, or any portion thereof, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in this Lease.

4.2.4.2    Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election ("Proposition 13") and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project's contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies, including, without limitation, as relates to the Community Facilities District in which the Project is located; (iii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises, the tenant improvements in the Premises, or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; (iv) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; and (v) all of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed upon or with respect to the Building and all of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed on the land and improvements comprising the Project. All assessments which can be paid by Landlord in installments, shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments permitted by law (except to the extent inconsistent with the general practice of landlords of the Comparable Buildings) and shall be included as Tax Expenses in the year in which the installment is actually paid.
4.2.4.3    If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, Tenant's Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Similarly, if Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are decreased after payment thereof for any reason (including a refund under Proposition 8), Landlord shall refund Tenant's Share of such refund or overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of same.

federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease, and (iv) tax penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to make payments and/or to file any tax or informational returns when due (except to the extent such penalty is caused by a corresponding late payment by Tenant, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of such penalty).
4.2.5    "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary. Tenant's Share was calculated by multiplying the number of rentable square feet of the Premises, as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary, by 100, and dividing the product by the total number of rentable square feet in the office area of the Building.
4.3    Appealable Tax Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 4.3, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce Tax Expenses and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord's consent shall constitute a Default by Tenant. Tenant may request from Landlord whether or not Landlord intends to file an appeal of any portion of Tax Expenses which are appealable by Landlord (the "Appealable Tax Expenses") for any tax fiscal year. Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant within ten (10) days after such request indicating whether Landlord intends to file an appeal of Appealable Tax Expenses for such tax fiscal year. If Landlord indicates that Landlord will not file an appeal of such Tax Expenses, then Tenant may provide Landlord with written notice ("Appeals Notice") at least thirty (30) days prior to the final date in which an appeal must be filed, requesting that Landlord file an appeal. Upon receipt of the Appeals Notice, Landlord shall promptly file such appeal and thereafter Landlord shall diligently prosecute such appeal to completion. Tenant may at any time in its sole discretion direct Landlord to terminate an appeal it previously elected pursuant to an Appeals Notice. In the event Tenant provides an Appeals Notice to Landlord and the resulting appeal reduces the Tax Expenses for the tax fiscal year in question as compared to the original bill received for such tax fiscal year and such reduction is greater than the costs for such appeal, then the costs for such appeal shall be included in Tax Expenses and passed through to the tenants of the Project. Alternatively, if the appeal does not result in a reduction of Tax Expenses for such tax fiscal year or if the reduction of Tax Expenses is less than the costs of the appeal, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, for any and all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord which are not covered by the reduction in connection with such appeal. Tenant's failure to timely deliver an Appeals Notice shall waive Tenant's rights to request an appeal of the applicable Tax Expenses for such tax fiscal year. In addition, Tenant's obligations to reimburse Landlord for the costs of the appeal pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in the event the appeal is not concluded until after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Upon request, Landlord agrees to consult with Tenant and to keep Tenant reasonably apprised of all tax protest filings and proceedings undertaken by Landlord to obtain a reduction or refund of Tax Expenses.
4.4    Calculation and Payment of Building Direct Expenses. Each Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below.

[Social Finance, Inc.]


4.4.1    Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement"), prepared on a line-item by line-item basis as to general categories, which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days, the full amount of Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as "Estimated Building Direct Expenses," as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below. If the amounts paid by Tenant during an Expense Year as Estimated Building Direct Expenses exceed Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, then such difference shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant, provided that any such reimbursement, at Landlord's option, may be credited against the Rent next coming due under this Lease unless the Lease Term has expired, in which event Landlord shall promptly refund the appropriate amount to Tenant. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4.4.1, the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses is greater than the amount of Estimated Building Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of the Statement setting forth the Excess. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, provided that, other than Tax Expenses and costs incurred for utilities, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Operating Expenses which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the end of the Expense Year to which such Operating Expenses relate.
4.4.2    Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of the total amount of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year and the estimated Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses (the "Estimated Building Direct Expenses"). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Building Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Building Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord; provided, however, that (i) Landlord shall not revise the Estimate Statement delivered for an Expense Year more than once during an Expense Year, and (ii) any such subsequent revision shall set forth on a reasonably specific basis any particular expense increase. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Building Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Throughout the Lease Term

Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting principles, consistently applied.
4.5    Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1    Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2    Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, to the extent not included in Tax Expenses, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, business tax or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.6    Tenant Facility Coordinator.  Landlord acknowledges Tenant's concern that Landlord be motivated to limit the amount of Operating Expenses, including but not limited to matters such as insurance and capital expenditures.  Landlord agrees that, if Tenant so elects and appoints a property manager (the "Tenant Facility Coordinator"), Landlord shall permit the Tenant Facility Coordinator to review (but not approve or disapprove) the annual budget for Operating Expenses and proposed capital expenditures and to meet with the Tenant Facility Coordinator, upon request, but not more frequently than on a quarterly basis regarding Operating Expenses. Landlord shall consider in good faith, but without obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Tenant Facility Coordinator.
4.7    Landlord's Books and Records. Following Tenant's receipt of the Statement for any Expense Year, Tenant shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Landlord ("Audit Notice") within ninety (90) days following the delivery of such Statement (the "Review Period"), to commence an audit of Landlord's books and records concerning the Building Direct Expenses for the Landlord's fiscal year that is the subject of such statement (the "Records"). Tenant shall complete any audit within ninety (90) days following the commencement thereof. Following delivery of an Audit Notice, and provided Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost, during Landlord's regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice to Landlord, to audit the Records at Landlord's principal business office in San Francisco, California (or at any other location in northern California designated by Landlord). Such audit shall occur within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Audit Notice. Tenant's audit of the Records pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be conducted only by a
-20-

reputable independent nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm, subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, which accounting firm: (i) shall have previous experience in auditing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings; (ii) shall not be retained by Tenant on a contingency fee basis (i.e. Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by the accounting firm in the performance of the audit), and a copy of the executed audit agreement between Tenant and auditor shall be provided to Landlord prior to the commencement of the audit; and (iii) at Landlord's option, both Tenant and auditor shall be required to execute a commercially reasonable confidentially agreement prepared by Landlord. Any audit report prepared by Tenant's auditors shall be delivered concurrently to Landlord and Tenant promptly upon completion thereof. If, after such audit of the Records, Tenant disputes the amount of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year under audit, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after completion of Tenant's audit, then, at Tenant's request, a certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord, and reasonably approved by Tenant, shall, at Tenant's cost, conduct an audit of the relevant Building Direct Expenses (the "Neutral Audit"). Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of the Neutral Audit unless the final determination in such Neutral Audit is that Landlord overstated Building Direct Expenses in the Statement for the Expense Year being audited by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of the Neutral Audit, in an amount not to exceed Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00). In any event, Landlord will promptly reimburse Tenant or provide a credit for any overstatement of Building Direct Expenses, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any understatement of Building Direct Expenses. To the extent Landlord and Tenant fail to otherwise reach mutual agreement regarding Building Direct Expenses, the foregoing audit and Neutral Audit procedures shall be the sole methods to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Building Direct Expenses payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Tenant shall promptly notify, and shall direct Tenant's agents, employees contractors, invitees, assignees and sublessees to promptly notify, Landlord of any incident in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project that would require the filing of a notice under any federal, state, local or quasi-governmental law (whether under common law, statute or otherwise), ordinance, decree, code, ruling, award, rule, regulation or guidance document now or hereafter enacted or promulgated, as amended from time to time, in any way relating to or regulating any Hazardous Substance.

5.4    Tenant's Dogs. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.4, Tenant and its Transferees shall be permitted to bring non-aggressive, fully domesticated fully-vaccinated, dogs into the Premises (which dogs are owned by Tenant or any Transferee or their respective officers, employees or contractors) ("Tenant's Dogs"). Within ten (10) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable satisfactory evidence showing that all current vaccinations have been received by Tenant's Dogs.

The Third Party Operator shall be a Tenant Party, and Tenant shall be fully and primarily liable for all acts and omissions of such Third Party Operator as fully and completely as if such Third Party Operator was an employee of Tenant. In no event shall the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any Third Party Operator be deemed to create a landlord/tenant relationship between Landlord and such Third Party Operator or be deemed to vest in Third Party Operator any right or interest in the Premises or this Lease. Any equipment or other property of the Third Party Operator in the Project shall be subject to Section 8.5 and Article 15 of this Lease.

Landlord makes no representation to Tenant as to whether or not the use of the fire stairs between contiguous floors of the Premises for the regular travel of employees between such floors is allowed under Applicable Laws.

payment of any additional rent or other license fee, may install, repair and replace, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, satellite dishes/antennae on the roof of the Building which shall be no larger than thirty-six inches (36") in diameter (and reasonable equipment and cabling related thereto), for receiving of signals or broadcasts (as opposed to the generation or transmission of any such signals or broadcasts) servicing the business conducted by Tenant from within the Premises (all such equipment is defined collectively as the "Telecommunications Equipment"). The anticipated location of the Telecommunications Equipment is shown on Exhibit L attached hereto. As part of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including Landlord's right to review and approve all plans and specifications therefor, Tenant shall have the right to construct new conduits, risers and shafts for Telecommunications Equipment and other equipment on the roof of the Building, including a Generator (as defined in Section 6.7 below). The exact location of any such conduit, risers, and shafts shall be reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, in consultation with Landlord's structural engineer. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord makes no representation's or warranties whatsoever with respect to the condition of the roof of the Building, or the fitness or suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Telecommunications Equipment, including, without limitation, with respect to the quality and clarity of any receptions and transmissions to or from the Telecommunications Equipment and the presence of any interference with such signals whether emanating from the Building or otherwise. The physical appearance and the size of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, the location of any such installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be designated by Tenant subject to Landlord's reasonable approval and Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, as reasonably designated by Landlord; provided that it shall only be deemed reasonable for Landlord to require such screening if Landlord also requires other similarly situated equipment on the roof of the Building to be screened. Tenant shall maintain such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in approving such Telecommunications Equipment. Tenant shall remove such Telecommunications Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and shall return the affected portion of the rooftop and the Premises to the condition the rooftop and the Premises would have been in had no such Telecommunications Equipment been installed (reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects in a written notice to Tenant to keep all or any portion of such Telecommunications Equipment, in which case such Telecommunications Equipment shall be surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be and become the property of Landlord without the necessity of any further written documentation unless otherwise requested by Landlord or a future occupant, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided Landlord pays to Tenant the fair market value of the Telecommunications Equipment retained by Landlord. Such Telecommunications Equipment shall be installed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord (specifically including, without limitation, all mounting and waterproofing details), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding any such review or approval by Landlord, Tenant shall remain solely liable for any damage to any portion of the roof or roof membrane, specifically including any penetrations, in connection with Tenant's installation, use, maintenance and/or repair of such Telecommunications Equipment, and Landlord shall have no liability therewith. Such Telecommunications Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with all Applicable Laws and other governmental requirements. Tenant shall

not be entitled to license its Telecommunications Equipment to any unrelated third party, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of such Telecommunications Equipment by an third party. Landlord shall have the right (i) to itself utilize any rooftop space for the use of equipment relating to Landlord's performance of any obligations required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, and (ii) to re-sell, license or lease any rooftop space to any third party for the use of equipment, provided that any roof rights granted by Landlord prior to or after the date of this Lease shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's existing or proposed Telecommunications Equipment or other equipment installed or to be installed on the roof by Tenant and shall not be located within the area designated as reserved for Tenant's equipment on Exhibit L, subject to Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 6.5. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant to minimize interference of any telecommunications equipment or signals or services of Landlord or such third parties existing as of the date of this Lease with the operation of Tenant's Telecommunications Equipment. The location of third-party telecommunications equipment, as of the date of this Lease, is shown on Exhibit L attached hereto. Upon request from Landlord, Tenant shall make all reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such interference of the Telecommunications Equipment with the telecommunications equipment or signals or services of Landlord or such third parties.
6.6    Internal Staircase. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have the right to construct, as part of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Tenant Work Letter or as an Alteration in accordance with Article 8 of this Lease, an internal staircase (the "Staircase") between contiguous floors of the Premises. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant's architect or engineers to identify specific locations within each floor of the Premises that would be best suited for construction of Staircase(s). In addition, without limiting Tenant's obligation to remove other Tenant Improvements or Alterations pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease and/or the Tenant Work Letter, unless otherwise requested by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Staircase and restore all portions of the Building and finishes affected by such removal, including, without limitation, (i) replacing the pan decking or floor slab between the applicable floors of the Building, (ii) replacing all ceiling components (e.g., drop ceiling, grids, lights, HVAC, fire sprinklers, fire/life safety devices and utilities lines), as applicable, in the affected area(s) and raised flooring systems, (iii) replacing any relocated HVAC main distribution ducts, except for electrical, communication and plumbing lines that were re-routed when the Staircase was installed ("Re-Routed Lines"), which Re-Routed Lines may remain in place, (iv) applying new concrete at the point of connection of the Staircase to the applicable floors of the Building, (v) applying new fire proofing, (vi) retaining a contractor designated by Landlord to perform deputy inspection as required by all applicable building codes, and (vii) if necessary in Landlord's reasonable discretion, providing beam reinforcement to the extent that the installation of the Staircase removed or otherwise adversely modified such reinforcement, or to the extent required in order to comply with applicable Laws then in effect (collectively, the "Staircase Removal Requirements"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to repair or replace any Building components that were not in place at the time the Staircase was installed. Tenant's obligations under the Staircase Removal Requirements shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.7    Tenant's Generator. In accordance with, and subject to, (i) the terms and conditions hereof, (ii) Applicable Laws, and (iii) any requirements of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Tenant shall have the right to install, repair, maintain and use, at Tenant's

sole cost and expense but without any additional payment to Landlord to install and operate an emergency generator (the "Generator") of a size and type, and in an area designated by Landlord (the "Generator Area") as depicted on Exhibit L, in order to provide emergency electricity service to the Premises. Landlord shall deliver, and Tenant shall accept, the Generator Area in its "as-is", "where-is" condition. In no event shall Tenant permit the Generator to interfere with normal and customary use or operation of the Project by Landlord (including, without limitation, by means of noise or odor). Tenant shall install the Generator in accordance with Article 8 above, or in accordance with the Tenant Work Letter, including Landlord's right to review and approve Tenant's plans and specifications therefor. If the Generator Area is on the roof of the Building, then at Tenant's cost, Landlord may have the plans and specifications for the Generator reviewed by a structural engineer, and Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's cost, for performing any required structural upgrades to the roof to accommodate the Generator. Tenant shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs in accordance with manufacturer specifications and compliance with Applicable Law obligations related to the Generator and acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith and that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage that may occur with respect to the Generator. The Generator shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) the period of any electrical power outage in the Building. Tenant shall be entitled to operate the Generator, and such connections to the Building, for testing and regular maintenance at times reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord so that the Building Systems or other components of the Project are not adversely affected by the operation of the Generator. Landlord makes no representations or warranties, and shall have no responsibility or liability to any Tenant Party for any losses, damages, injury to persons or property caused by, related to, arising out of or in connection with, to the condition of the Generator Area, or the fitness or suitability of the Generator Area for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Generator. In the event that Tenant shall fail to comply with the requirements set forth herein, without limitation of Landlord's other remedies, (i) Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant's rights with respect to the Generator, and/or (ii) Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days following demand by Landlord accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, the reasonable amount expended by Landlord. Tenant shall remove the Generator upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and shall return the affected portion of the Project to the condition same would have been in had no Generator been installed (reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects in a written notice to Tenant to keep all or any portion of the Generator, in which case the Generator shall be surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be and become the property of Landlord without the necessity of any further written documentation unless otherwise requested by Landlord or a future occupant, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided Landlord pays to Tenant the fair market value of the Generator retained by Landlord.

The obligation of Tenant to deliver the foregoing shall survive the termination of Tenant's obligation to manage the Project.
7.2    Repair and Maintenance.
7.2.1    Tenant's Repair and Maintenance Obligations. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in good repair and in a first-class condition consistent with typical practice for Comparable Buildings, (i) maintain, repair and improve, and pursuant to the specifications set forth in Exhibit K, attached hereto, all portions of the Building systems including the mechanical, electrical, fire, fire suppression, life-safety, plumbing, sprinkler and HVAC systems installed by Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date (individually, a "Building System," and collectively, the "Building Systems"), (ii) maintain, repair and improve the Premises, including the roof membrane and all improvements, fixtures, equipment, interior window coverings, and flooring, furnishings therein, and (iii) maintain and repair the exterior of the Building and the exterior areas of the Building, including sidewalks and curbcuts, replacement of windows and windows seals, and including graffiti removal and exterior building painting. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord agrees to diligently enforce (or if assignable to Tenant, to assign to Tenant) any warranties relating to the Building Systems and exterior of the Building (e.g., windows) to be maintained by Tenant. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant's obligations to comply with Applicable Laws are set forth in Section 24.1 below, and not in this Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any obligation of Tenant in this Section 7.2.1 is "capital in nature", Tenant shall notify Landlord as set forth in Section 7.3 below and Landlord shall perform such modifications pursuant to Section 7.3, and the parties shall be responsible for the respective costs as set forth in Sections 7.3 below. At Landlord's option, if Tenant fails to make such repairs or improvements as required in this Section 7.2 with respect to the Building Systems, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant, and after affording Tenant a reasonable time period within which to conduct such repair or improvement, and after providing Tenant a second notice setting forth Landlord's intention to engage in self-help (except in the event of an emergency, in which case no notice to Tenant shall be required), but need not, make such repairs and improvements to the Building Systems, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost thereof, including a reasonable percentage of the cost thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such repairs and improvements forthwith upon being billed for same. Except as set forth in Section 7.4 below, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.2.2    Landlord's Maintenance Obligations. In addition to Landlord's obligations set forth in Sections 1.1.1 and 7.2.1 and the Tenant Work Letter, except to the extent the same is Tenant's obligation pursuant to Section 7.2.1 above, Landlord shall maintain, repair and improve, in good repair and in a first-class condition, the structural portions of the Building, including, without limitation, the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, exterior slabs, roof (excluding the roof membrane), curtain wall, exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, shafts, fire stairwells, and Building mechanical, electrical and telephone closets (but not the Building Systems located therein) (collectively, "Building Structure"). If the roof membrane must reasonably be replaced rather than repaired, such replacement shall be considered "capital in nature" and shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.3. Landlord's costs of performing its obligations under this Section 7.2
-32-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


shall be included in Operating Expenses (except to the extent such costs are otherwise prohibited by the terms of Section 4.2.3 above, or otherwise payable directly by Tenant pursuant to this Lease). Any entry of the Premises by Landlord in connection with the foregoing shall be done consistent with the terms of Article 27 of this Lease.
7.3    Capital Improvements. Except for Alterations made by Tenant pursuant to Article 8, under no circumstances shall Tenant perform any repairs, maintenance or improvements which are "capital in nature" under this Lease, including under Section 7.2.1 above or Section 24.1 below (the "Landlord's Capital Improvements"), even though the responsibility for such Landlord's Capital Improvements may otherwise be allocated to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including Sections 7.2.1 above and Section 24.1 below. Rather, Landlord, shall perform and supervise all Landlord's Capital Improvements and the reasonable costs thereof (without mark-up or any administration fee by Landlord) shall be either (i) allocated to Landlord and not as an Operating Expense if such Landlord's Capital Improvements constitute a "Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvement," as defined in Section 7.3.1, below, or (ii) allocated to Tenant if such Landlord's Capital Improvements constitute a "Reimbursable Capital Improvement," as that term is defined in Section 4.2.3, above, or are "Tenant Funded Capital Improvements," as that term is defined in Section 7.3.1, below. Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice ("Capital Improvement Notice") if any obligation of Tenant set forth in Section 7.2.1 above pertaining to Building Systems is "capital in nature", and reasonable evidence of the same, including Tenant's determination of whether the item is a Tenant Funded Capital Improvement, a Reimbursable Capital Improvement, or a Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvement. Within five (5) business days of Landlord's receipt of a Capital Improvement Notice, Landlord shall either provide written notice to Tenant that either (1) Landlord does not believe the proposed work is a Landlord's Capital Improvement (or Landlord does not believe that Tenant has correctly categorized the Landlord's Capital Improvement as a Tenant Funded Capital Improvement, a Reimbursable Capital Improvement, or a Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvement) or (2) confirming that Landlord will perform such Landlord's Capital Improvement in accordance with this Section 7.3. If Landlord and Tenant disagree as to whether the work constitutes a Landlord's Capital Improvement (or whether the Landlord's Capital Improvement is a Tenant Funded Capital Improvement, a Reimbursable Capital Improvement, or a Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvement), Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer in good faith to attempt to resolve such disagreement. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve the disagreement, either Landlord or Tenant may elect, upon notice to the other, to have the matter proceed to arbitration administered by JAMS or any successor thereto under the Expedited Procedures provisions (Rules 16.1-16.2 in the current edition) of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The determination rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. If the Landlord's Capital Improvements constitute Tenant Funded Capital Improvements, (a) Landlord shall solicit qualified conforming bids from a minimum of two (2) contractors in connection with the completion of such Tenant Funded Capital Improvements and Landlord shall provide such bids to Tenant, and, within ten (10) business days following the receipt of such bids from Landlord, Tenant shall select either one of the bids and Landlord shall, thereafter, retain the contractor specified in such bid to complete the Tenant Funded Capital Improvements (provided that if Tenant fails to timely inform Landlord of its selection, upon the expiration of such ten (10)-business day period, Landlord shall be free to select either one of the bids on Tenant's behalf); and (b) following the selection of such bid by Tenant (or Landlord, in the event Tenant fails to
-33-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


timely make such selection), Landlord shall complete the Tenant Funded Capital Improvements. Upon completion of any particular Tenant Funded Capital Improvements, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an invoice and reasonable documentation evidencing the costs incurred by Landlord in completion of the Tenant Funded Capital Improvements and Tenant shall pay such amounts within thirty (30) days following receipt of such invoice. All of Landlord's Capital Improvements shall be completed diligently and in a good workmanlike manner. Landlord shall coordinate the performance of Landlord's Capital Improvements with Tenant, and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the conduct of Tenant's business from the Premises. The term "capital in nature" as used in this Lease shall mean any expenditure in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) which would normally be "capitalized," as opposed to "expensed," under sound real estate accounting and management principles, and is made for (x) the replacement (as opposed to regular maintenance and repair) of all or a portion of an existing Building System that is non-functioning or at the end of its useful life, provided that if it is a replacement of a portion of a Building System, the portion must make-up a significant majority of the Building System and such portion of the Building System must have a useful life of at least fifteen (15) years or (y) any improvement to the Building Structure, which improvement has a useful life of at least fifteen (15) years.
7.3.1    Types of Landlord's Capital Improvements. Landlord shall perform all Landlord's Capital Improvements as stated in Section 7.3, above. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the Reimbursable Capital Improvements, as set forth in Article 4 hereof. As set forth in Section 7.3, above, Tenant shall pay Landlord for "Tenant Funded Capital Improvements," which shall be Landlord's Capital Improvements which:
7.3.1.1    are necessitated by the negligence or willful misconduct of the "Tenant Parties" as that term is defined in Section 10.1, below;
7.3.1.2    are necessitated by Tenant's failure to improve, maintain, service, repair or replace the Premises as required in this Lease;
7.3.1.3    are necessitated by Tenant's use of any the Building Systems in a manner that would shorten the reasonable useful life of such Building System;
7.3.1.4    are caused by any breach by Tenant of this Article 7;
7.3.1.5    are necessitated because of any unreasonable failure of Tenant to notify Landlord that Landlord's Capital Improvements are required pursuant to Section 7.3, above, unless Tenant has already notified Landlord of such requirement by describing such situation in the reports required pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 of this Lease or otherwise; or
7.3.1.6    are modifications required to comply with Applicable Laws, but were triggered solely by Tenant's Alterations, or use of the Premises for non-general office use.
For purposes hereof, the term "Non-Reimbursable Capital Improvements" shall mean all Landlord's Capital Improvements other than Reimbursable Capital Improvements and Tenant Funded Capital Improvements.

7.4    Tenant's Right to Make Repairs. Notwithstanding any of the terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides Notice (or oral notice in the event of an "Emergency," as that term is defined, below) to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance required to be performed by Landlord, which event or circumstance materially or adversely affects the conduct of Tenant's business from the Premises or otherwise constitutes an Emergency, and Landlord fails to commence corrective action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice and to diligently prosecute the corrective action to completion, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional five (5) days' notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action (provided, however, that the initial ten (10) business day notice and the subsequent five (5) day notice shall not be required in the event of an Emergency) and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not commenced by Landlord within such five (5) day period (or immediately in the event of an Emergency) and thereafter diligently pursued to completion, then Tenant shall have the right to take such corrective action and shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action. In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Following completion of any work taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.4, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the costs relating thereto. If Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent next due and owing under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice with interest at the Interest Rate from the time of expenditure by Tenant until offset. If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such deduction from Rent. If Landlord so objects, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord or, if elected by either Landlord or Tenant, the matter shall proceed to arbitration administered by the JAMS or any successor thereto under the Expedited Procedures provisions (Rules 16.1-16.2 in the current edition) of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If Tenant prevails in the arbitration, the amount of the Arbitration Award (which shall include interest at the Interest Rate from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such amount by payment or offset and attorneys' fees and related costs) may be deducted by Tenant from the Rent next due and owing under this Lease. The determination rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. For purposes of this Section 7.4, an "Emergency" shall mean an event threatening immediate and material danger to people located in or about the Building or immediate, material damage to the Premises, Building, Building Systems, Building Structure, Tenant Improvements, Alterations, trade fixtures or personal property, or creates a realistic possibility of an immediate and material interference with, or immediate and material interruption of, Tenant's business operations. Tenant's rights under this

Section 7.4 shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, any Rent abatement to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to Section 19.5.2 below.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1    Landlord's Consent to Alterations; Permitted Alterations. Tenant may not make or suffer to be made any improvements, alterations, additions, changes, or repairs (pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the "Alterations") without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 8, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the Building Structure or Building Systems or equipment, or is visible from the exterior of the Building (each, a "Material Alteration" and, collectively, "Material Alterations"). Upon no less than ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord (accompanied by a copy of all plans and specifications relating thereto), but without Landlord's prior consent, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations that (i) do not constitute a Design Problem (as that term is defined in Section 3.4 of the Tenant Work Letter), (ii) do not require a construction permit, and (iii) cost less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) per project ("Permitted Alterations"). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2    Manner of Construction. Prior to the commencement of construction of any Alterations or repairs (including Permitted Alterations), Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review, four (4) copies signed by Tenant of all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto. Landlord shall review and approve or disapprove (to the extent such approval or disapproval is required) all such plans, specifications and working drawings within five (5) business days following the date upon which Tenant submits the same to Landlord, except that Landlord shall have ten (10) business days following the date upon which Tenant submits the same to Landlord to review and approve such plans, specifications and working drawings in the event that the nature of the Alterations or repairs is such that (I) review of the plans, specifications and working drawings related thereto cannot reasonably be completed within five (5) business days, or (II) Landlord reasonably needs to send the plans, specifications and working drawings out for third-party review; provided that the parties shall agree in advance upon the reasonable maximum cost of such third-party review. If Landlord disapproves of any such plans, specifications or working drawings, then Landlord shall set forth with reasonable specificity the grounds for such disapproval and recommend any modifications that would make the proposed Alterations acceptable to Landlord. If Landlord fails to respond in writing within five (5) business days or ten (10) business days, as applicable, Tenant may send a second notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following disclaimer in bold face, capitalized type: "NOTICE – SECOND REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO ALTERATIONS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 8 OF THE LEASE – FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE WILL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR CERTAIN ALTERATIONS."

within three (3) business days after delivery of such second notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed Alterations. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall retain an architect/space planner subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, to prepare such plans, specifications and working drawings; provided that, unless Tenant is performing the Alterations or repairs on a design-build basis, Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants from a list of at least three (3) names provided by Landlord or other engineering consultants reasonably approved by Landlord to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings, if any, relating to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, work of the Alterations. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may perform all Alterations on a design-build basis, provided that the mechanical, electrical and plumbing components of such work shall be designed using Landlord's designated engineers, or other engineering consultants approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Alterations that affect the structural, HVAC, life-safety and sprinkler components of the Base Building, Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating thereto, or other engineering consultants approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be required to include in its contracts with the architect and the engineers a provision which requires ownership of all architectural and engineering drawings to be transferred to Tenant upon the substantial completion of the Alteration and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a non-exclusive right to use such drawings, including, without limitation, a right to make copies thereof. Tenant and Tenant's architect/space planner shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Tenant's architect/space planner shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. In addition, if and to the extent, based on the nature of the mechanical, electrical or plumbing items, or structural items or items affected by Title 24 which are included in the Alterations, Landlord reasonably retains third party consultants, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs for such third party consultants expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Alterations within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice together with reasonable supporting evidence; provided that Landlord notified Tenant prior to incurring any such costs. Landlord's review of plans, specifications and working drawings as set forth in this Section 8.2, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, compliance with applicable building codes or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any plans, specifications or working drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations, and Tenant's waiver and indemnity set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, below, shall specifically apply to the plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations. Following Landlord's reasonable approval of all plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations, a contractor to construct the Alterations shall be selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except that Landlord shall not have the right to approve any contractor performing Permitted Alterations). The foregoing process shall be reasonable adjusted if Tenant constructs Alterations on a design-build

basis as set forth above. As used in this Lease, the "Base Building" shall mean the Building Structure and the Building Systems. All subcontractors used or selected by Tenant performing work relating to the Building Systems shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove a proposed Tenant's Agent within three (3) business days, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the same. The contractor and all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers are referred to herein as "Tenant Agents." Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building. In addition to Tenant's obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager (1) a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations (provided that in the event that "as built" drawings are not reasonably available, Tenant shall be permitted to provide a copy of the approved drawings for the Alterations, marked with field modifications), (2) a computer disc containing the same (to the extent reasonably available), and (3) all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 8 to the contrary, construction of an Alteration shall not commence until (x) a copy of the contract with Tenant's contractor has been fully executed and delivered to Landlord, and (y) Tenant has procured, and delivered to Landlord a copy of, all applicable permits necessary to commence demolition or construction, as the case may be.
8.3    Payment for Improvements. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as provided in this Section 8.3, the sum of (i) Landlord's standard supervision fee for its involvement with such Alterations, which supervision fee shall be equal to the sum of one percent (1%) of the "hard" costs of each such Alteration; and (ii) all other reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Alterations which Landlord notified Tenant of prior to incurring. No supervision fee shall be payable by Tenant in connection with any Permitted Alterations. For purposes of this Lease, "hard" costs means the cost of labor and materials incorporated into the Alterations or the Tenant Improvements, and excludes architectural and engineering fees and costs and permit fees.
8.4    Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that any Alterations are made pursuant to this Article 8, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant or Tenant's contractor carries "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, if liens have previously been recorded against the Building in connection with Alterations undertaken by Tenant, and such liens were not removed within the time period specified in Article 9, then Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee, when the cost of such Alterations exceeds $250,000.00.

8.5    Landlord's Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed by or on behalf of Tenant in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and any permanently affixed Alterations, improvements, equipment and/or appurtenances shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove any "Above Standard Alterations", as that term is defined below, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to substantially the same condition existing prior to the installation of such Above Standard Alterations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if at the time Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any Alterations pursuant to this Article 8, Tenant also requests in writing Landlord's determination as to whether Landlord will require the removal of such Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such required removal and/or restoration, together with Landlord's consent for such Alterations (if such consent is given), provided that Landlord may only require Tenant to remove Above Standard Alterations. As used in this Lease, "Above Standard Alterations" shall mean any part of any Alterations which do not constitute normal and customary general office improvements as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall include, without limitation, improvements such as voice, data and other cabling, raised floors, floor penetrations (other than plug-in core drill holes), any installations outside of the Premises, or any areas requiring floor reinforcement, personal baths and showers, the Cafeteria, the Fitness Center, Bicycle storage areas, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations of any type. Above Standard Alterations shall not include plug-in core drill holes or rekeying of any of the locks in the Building. The removal of Above Standard Tenant Improvements constructed in the Premises pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter. If Tenant fails to complete any required removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Above Standard Alterations or Above Standard Tenant Improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to substantially the same condition existing prior to the installation of such Above Standard Alterations or Above Standard Tenant Improvements prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, on five (5) days' written notice to Tenant, to perform such work and to charge the actual and reasonable cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing by or on behalf of Tenant of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs)

arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any work on the Premises which may give rise to a lien on the Premises, Building or Project (or such additional time as may be necessary under Applicable Laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord's title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
TENANT'S INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
10.1    Mutual Indemnities.
10.1.1    Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant waives any right to contribution against the "Landlord Parties," as that term is defined in Section 10.8, below, and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from or claimed to have arisen from (i) any act, omission or negligence of the Tenant Parties; (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Premises from the earlier of (A) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (B) the Lease Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term and after the end of the Lease Term for as long as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (iii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever occurring outside the Premises but within the Project, where such accident, injury or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from any act, omission or negligence on the part of any of the Tenant Parties. Tenant shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by the Landlord Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that a Landlord Party may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of the foregoing indemnity and waiver shall not apply to the extent any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from or claimed to arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties in, on, or about the Project, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant Parties. Landlord shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by Tenant Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that a Tenant Party may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding
-40-

[Social Finance, Inc.]


anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, either party's agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section 10.1.1 shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which such party agreed to indemnify the other party are of a nature covered by, or are required to be covered by, insurance required to be carried by the non-indemnifying party pursuant to this Lease (except to the extent of reasonable deductibles). Further, Tenant's agreement to indemnify Landlord Parties and Landlord's agreement to indemnify Tenant Parties pursuant to this Section 10.1.1 are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried under this Lease, to the extent such policies cover, or if carried, would have covered the matters, subject to the parties' respective indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or earlier termination.
10.1.2    Breach. In the event that either party breaches any of its indemnity obligations hereunder or under any other contractual or common law indemnity: (i) the breaching party shall pay to the non-breaching party all liabilities, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred as a result of said breach, and the reasonable value of time expended by the non-breaching party as a result of said breach; and (ii) the non-breaching parties may deduct and offset from any amounts due to the breaching party under this Lease any amounts owed by the breaching party pursuant to this section.
10.1.3    No limitation. The indemnification obligations under this Section shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Landlord, Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. Tenant waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Landlord Parties based upon such acts. Landlord waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Tenant Parties based upon such acts.
10.1.4    Subtenants and Other Occupants. Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide similar indemnities to the Landlord Parties in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or if Tenant's subtenants or other occupants do not provide similar indemnities, then Tenant shall be obligated to provide such indemnities.
10.1.5    Survival. The terms of this section shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.
10.1.6    Costs. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Landlord Parties or the Tenant Parties in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against one or more Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties by reason of any such claim, the indemnifying party, upon request from the indemnified party, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party by counsel appointed by indemnifying party's insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The

indemnified party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such indemnified party.
10.2    Tenant's Risk. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant's own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party's business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Project; provided that the foregoing shall not modify Landlord's liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Law, for property damage or personal injury to the extent arising from Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing waiver and release shall not apply to the extent of any injury, loss, damages or liability caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties; provided, however, in no event shall the Landlord Parties have any liability to a Tenant Party based on any loss with respect to or caused by interruption in the operation of Tenant's business; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord's liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Laws for property damage or personal injury caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. The provisions of this section shall be applicable until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.
10.3    Tenant's Insurance. From and after Tenant's occupancy and continuing during the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense, procure and maintain the following insurance:
10.3.1    "Special Form" (formerly known as "All Risk") insurance, including fire, extended coverage, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism and malicious mischief, covering (a) all improvements existing in the Premises as of the first date of Tenant's occupancy (the "Original Improvements"), Alterations, and (b) any and all personal property, in an amount not less than 100% of their actual replacement cost from time to time. The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the Tenant Improvements or Alterations as long as this Lease remains in effect.
10.3.2    Commercial general liability insurance for injury to or death of any person and damage to property of others in connection with the construction of improvements on the Premises and with Tenant's use of and operations in the Premises. Such insurance shall be for $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate and include coverage for premises medical payments of at least $5,000. This limit may be achieved by the use of a primary general liability policy combined with an excess or umbrella liability policy; except that the limits of liability shall be adjusted from time to time during the Term to such higher limits as Landlord may

reasonably require under then current conditions consistent with the limit of liability then required for comparable tenants at the Comparable Buildings.
10.3.3    Workers' compensation insurance in the amount required by the state in which the Premises are located, and Employers' liability with limits of $1,000,000 for each accident, each employee, and each illness pertaining to Tenant's employees, which will waive any right of subrogation against Landlord.
10.3.4    Business income (formerly called business interruption insurance) and extra expense coverage with limits of at least one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant's Base Rent for a twelve (12) month period;
Tenant shall carry and maintain during the Lease Term (including any option periods, if applicable) increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably required by Landlord from time to time, but in no event shall such increased amounts of insurance or such other reasonable types of insurance be in excess of that generally required by landlords of Comparable Buildings, and in no event shall Tenant be required to carry earthquake or terrorism insurance pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.3 to the extent not available on a commercially reasonable basis, and in no event may Landlord increase the amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder more than once during the initial Lease Term and each Option Term.
10.4    Tenant's Policies. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued by insurance companies qualified to do business in the State of California and rated A-:VIII or better in the most current issue of "Best's Key Rating Guide." Current, original certificates and applicable endorsements evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant prior to Tenant's taking occupancy of the Premises, and at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any policy required hereunder. Tenant shall provide Landlord not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to cancellation or reduction in coverage.
10.5    Tenant's Failure to Insure. If either party fails to maintain any insurance required by this Lease, the party that fails to maintain such insurance shall be liable for any loss or cost resulting from that failure. If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, and does not cure such failure within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for such insurance at Tenant's cost. This Section 10.5 shall not waive any of Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease. Tenant shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article, which may be prohibited by the standard form of any insurance policy required hereunder. Tenant agrees to pay for any increase in premiums for insurance referred to herein that may be charged during the Term on the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the Premises or the Project, resulting from any activity on or in connection with the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, by Tenant other than general office use consistent with a Class A office building.
10.6    Additional Insureds. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and any additional liability insurance carried by Tenant pursuant
-43-

[Social Finance, Inc.]


to Section 10.3 of this Lease, above, shall name Landlord, Landlord's officers, directors, employees, divisions, subsidiaries, partners, shareholders, affiliated companies, Landlord's managing agent, and such other Mortgagees and other parties as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to this Lease or the operations of Tenant (collectively "Additional Insureds"). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured.
10.7    Landlord's Insurance. From and after the date of this Lease and continuing during the Lease Term, Landlord shall carry (i) full replacement cost physical damage insurance of the type commonly referred to as an "all risk of physical loss" or "causes of loss – special form" policy, including fire and extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and water damage covering the Building and Project, which insurance shall include rental loss coverage for a period of at least one (1) year, (ii) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Project insuring such risks and hazards as are customarily insured against in coverage and in relative amount, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, by others similarly situated and operating Comparable Buildings, but in no event less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate, and excess liability insurance with overall limits of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), for injuries to non-employees and property damage and (iii) insurance coverage for the risks of earthquake damage, which shall also include coverage for Building standard general office improvements in the Premises. Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of flood damage, terrorist acts and additional hazards (if generally carried by owners of Comparable Buildings and available at commercially reasonable rates), a rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any portion thereof. None of the insurance carried by Landlord shall name Tenant as an insured or otherwise be for the benefit of Tenant, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise; provided that the proceeds thereof shall be utilized to repair or restore the Building to the extent required by Article 11 below.
10.8    Waiver Of Subrogation. The parties hereto waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other, and agree not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, and in the case of Landlord, against all Tenant Parties, and in the case of Tenant, against all Landlord Parties, for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any insurance policy required by this Lease or which would have been so insured had the party carried the insurance it was required to carry hereunder. Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of Tenant or Landlord. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case of Tenant, its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises) shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Lease pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation (so long as no material additional premium is charged for such waiver). The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties' waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section. The parties hereto covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the parties hereto by virtue of such insurance policy.

The term "Landlord Party" or "Landlord Parties" shall mean Landlord, any affiliate of Landlord, Landlord's managing agents for the Building, each Mortgagee, each ground lessor, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents or representatives. For the purposes of this Lease, the term "Tenant Party" or "Tenant Parties" shall mean Tenant, any affiliate of Tenant, any permitted subtenant or any other permitted occupant of the Premises, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives.

The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to Landlord's written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant's contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, and such other persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as Additional Insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services. Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured.

ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1    Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from fire, earthquake, explosion, flood, wind, civil disturbance, or other event of a sudden, unexpected nature ("Casualty"). If the Premises or the Building shall be damaged by Casualty, within sixty (60) days following Landlord's discovery of the damage or destruction, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant (the "Landlord Casualty Notice") setting forth the estimated time required, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord's designated licensed civil engineer, structural engineer or other appropriate (given the nature of the damage) licensed professional (the "Construction Professional"), for the completion of repairs and restoration. Such repair and restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Tenant Improvements, Alterations, Original Improvements, Premises and Base Building prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Applicable Laws. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 below, upon notice to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under item (a) of Section 10.3.1 of this Lease which pertain to work to be performed by Landlord, and Landlord shall diligently repair any injury or
-45-

[Social Finance, Inc.]


damage to the Base Building and the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises in a good and professional manner. If the cost of repairs to the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and Original Improvements exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord's insurance carrier or from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with a reasonable progress payment schedule, upon receipt of the appropriate conditional and/or unconditional lien releases, or, in the event Tenant is not the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee Assignee, then if reasonably required by Landlord based on the creditworthiness of Tenant, prior to Landlord's commencement of repair of the damage; provided, however, that if the damage was caused by an earthquake, then the amount that Tenant is required to pay to repair uninsured damage to the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and Original Improvements shall only pertain to any non-Building standard, non-general office improvements that Tenant requires to be installed in the Premises. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall, in its reasonable discretion, select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided, however, if such Casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof necessary to Tenant's access to or occupancy of the Premises, then Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent and in the proportion that the Premises or such portion thereof are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that the Premises or portions thereof shall not be deemed occupied for purposes of Rent abatement even if workstations and furniture remains therein, so long as persons do not conduct normal business operations in such areas. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises in connection with the performance of any repair and restoration work following a Casualty.
11.2    Termination Options.
11.2.1    Landlord's Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant of such election in an applicable Landlord Casualty Notice, in which event such Landlord Casualty Notice shall include a termination date giving Tenant one hundred twenty (120) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by Casualty or cause, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Construction Professional, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within twelve (12) months after the date of the Casualty (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the Mortgagee shall require that the insurance proceeds or any material portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the damage to the Premises or Project (other than the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and the Original Improvements) is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies or that portion of the proceeds from Landlord's insurance policies allocable to the Building or the Project, as the case may be, unless such shortfall is due to Landlord's failure to carry the insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease

(provided that Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if within five (5) business days of receipt of Landlord's termination notice, Tenant commits to fund (and thereafter actually funds) the shortfall of insurance proceeds not due to Landlord's failure to carry required insurance); or (iv) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term (and Tenant has not exercised any option to extend the Lease Term) and repairs will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair.
11.2.2    Tenant's Right to Terminate. Subject to the remaining terms of this Section 11.2.2, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of the Construction Professional, be completed within twelve (12) months after the Casualty, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and Tenant has not exercised any option to extend the Lease Term) and repair will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to complete, then Tenant may elect, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the applicable Landlord Casualty Notice, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, and the repairs are not actually completed for any reason (including Force Majeure), other than the fault of Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the later of (a) twelve (12) months after the Casualty and (b) the date specified for completion in Landlord's Casualty Notice, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the expiration of such ninety (90) day period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the "Delayed Repair Termination Notice"), effective as of a date set forth in the Delayed Repair Termination Notice (the "Delayed Repair Termination Date"), which Delayed Repair Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the date such Delayed Repair Termination Notice was delivered to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Delayed Repair Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Delayed Repair Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Delayed Repair Termination Date set forth in the Delayed Repair Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord's receipt of the Delayed Repair Termination Notice, written notice that it is Landlord's good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Delayed Repair Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, then the Delayed Repair Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect and this Lease shall continue, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty (30)-day period, then this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Section 11.2, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2.2 only if each of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by Casualty, was not caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or a Tenant Party; (b) Landlord has not then commenced pursuing its remedies under this Lease (other than the mere delivery of notice) due to Tenant being in economic default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods; (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant, in its commercially reasonable business judgment, cannot conduct its business from all or a material portion of the Premises; and, (d) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not in fact occupy or use all or a material portion of the Premises. In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party

designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3.1 of this Lease.
11.3    Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment. No payment by Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to contest the underlying obligation or payment made, whether or not payment is expressly made under protest.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or more than one-third (1/3) of the rentable square feet of the Premises shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the reconstruction or remodeling of a substantial portion of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord

shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than one-third (1/3) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if all reasonable access to and/or the use of the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken (or if reasonable access to and/or use of the Premises is substantially impaired because of a taking), and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises and otherwise in accordance with Section 19.5.2. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1    Transfers. Except as otherwise specifically provided or permitted in this Article 14, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a "Transfer," and, collectively, as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the material terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the "Transfer Premium", as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the
-49-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space (provided that Landlord must request such additional information within five (5) business days following the date Tenant delivers the Transfer Notice to Landlord), and (v) upon Landlord's request, an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (modified as appropriate to make the statements therein true and correct). Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease after notice and expiration of the cure period set forth in Section 19.1.4 of this Lease, below. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord's review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees) incurred by Landlord, not to exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) in the aggregate for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2    Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, and shall grant or withhold such consent within ten (10) business days following the date upon which Landlord receives a "complete" Transfer Notice from Tenant (i.e., a Transfer Notice that includes all documents and information required pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, above). If Landlord fails to respond to a "complete" Transfer Notice within ten (10) business days, Tenant may send a second notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following disclaimer in bold face, capitalized type: "NOTICE – SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF [ASSIGNMENT/SUBLEASE] PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF THE LEASE – FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE WILL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF SUCH [ASSIGNMENT/SUBLEASE]." If Landlord fails to respond in writing within three (3) business days after delivery of such second notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment or sublease. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any Applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1    The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2    The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3    The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to assign, sublet, or otherwise transfer to a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof to the extent Landlord has leased or has permitted the lease of space to a comparable (in terms of security, foot traffic, prestige, eminent domain and

function oriented issues) governmental agency or instrumentality thereof in comparably located space of comparable size in other comparable projects owned by Landlord;
14.2.4    The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested, taking into consideration Tenant's continuing liability under this Lease;
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business including, without limitation, loss of profits, other than profits from the subject Transfer, however occurring) or a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives any right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other remedies, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all Applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant's proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord's wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord's consent.
14.3    Transfer Premium. If Landlord's consent is required for, and Landlord consents to, a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any "Transfer Premium," as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 14.3, Tenant shall be entitled to retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Transfer Premium until such time as Tenant has recovered the reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, including, without limitation, for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, or improvement allowances given in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent provided to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer (provided that such free rent shall be deducted only to the extent the same is included in the calculation of total consideration payable by such Transferee), and (iii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iv) legal fees reasonably incurred in connection with the Transfer
-51-

(collectively, "Tenant's Subleasing Costs"). "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Landlord shall make a determination of the amount of Landlord's applicable share of the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is paid by Transferee to Tenant under the Transfer.
14.4    Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event that Tenant contemplates a Transfer of all or substantially all of the Premises (for purposes hereof, substantially all of the Premises shall mean five (5) or more floors of the Premises) for all or substantially all of the remaining Lease Term ("Contemplated Transfer") or such Transfer would otherwise qualify as a Contemplated Transfer, but for subterfuge by Tenant to avoid Landlord's rights under this Section 14.4 (for purposes hereof, a sublease shall be deemed to be for substantially all of the remainder of the Lease Term if, assuming all sublease renewal or extension rights are exercised, such sublease shall expire during the final six (6) months of the Lease Term), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the "Intention to Transfer Notice") of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined); provided, however, that Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver an Intention to Transfer Notice hereunder with respect to an assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the "Contemplated Effective Date"), and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord, if it so elects, to terminate this Lease. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant (the "Termination Notice") within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice. Any recapture under this Section 14.4 shall cancel and terminate this Lease as of the Contemplated Effective Date. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to terminate this Lease under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the "Nine Month Period") commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to terminate this Lease with respect to any Contemplated Transfer made during the Nine Month Period; provided however, that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period, Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any Contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under this Section 14.4, Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days after delivery of the Termination Notice, to rescind Tenant's Intention to Transfer Notice and not proceed with the Contemplated Transfer, in which case such Termination Notice shall be ineffective, and Tenant shall continue to directly lease the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
14.5    Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, then (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified; (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee; (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of the assignment or sublease document pertaining to the Transfer; (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon
-52-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer; and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space, and, in the event of a Transfer of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease, the liability of Tenant and such Transferee shall be joint and several. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to the calculation of the Transfer Premium with respect to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs of such audit.
14.6    Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, then Landlord shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 19.3 of this Lease with respect to such Transfer. In addition, if Tenant shall be in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, then Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with a Transfer directly to Landlord (which payments Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant's obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.7    Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, officers or members, as applicable, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership, ownership or membership interests (as applicable), within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to existing shareholders or to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

14.8    Deemed Consent Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (a) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant, (b) an assignment of this Lease by Tenant to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interest (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, or (c) an assignment of this Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant (each, a "Permitted Transferee"), shall not be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent under this Article 14, provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Permitted Transferee as set forth above, (ii) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or to otherwise effectuate any release of Tenant of such obligations, and (iii) any Non-Transferee Assignee (a) has a long term issuer credit rating from Moody's Professional Rating Service ("Moody's") of A3 or better or Standard and Poor's Professional Rating Service ("S&P") of A- or better or (b) has a tangible net worth (excluding goodwill as an asset) of at least equal to One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000). An assignee of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease and the Premises who qualifies as a Permitted Transferee may also be referred to herein as a "Non-Transferee Assignee"). "Control," as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting interest in, any person or entity, or the power to direct the policies or operations of any person or entity (by contract or otherwise). The sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant's stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, and the subsequent sale of Tenant's capital stock as long as Tenant is a publicly traded company on a nationally-recognized stock exchange shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 and shall not be subject to this Article 14.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1    Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by either party or any agent or employee thereof during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by either party of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by both parties. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2    Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition Tenant is
-54-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


required to maintain the Premises pursuant to Article 7. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and one hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent due, for the first (1st) three (3) months of such holdover, and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and one hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent due, thereafter. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom; provided, however, upon entering into a third-party lease which affects the Premises, Landlord shall deliver written notice (the "New Lease Notice") of such lease to Tenant and the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not be effective until the later of (i) the date that occurs thirty (30) days following the date Landlord delivers such New Lease Notice to Tenant, and (ii) the date such holdover commences.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), making any modifications or indicating any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time to make such statements therein true and correct, and shall also contain
-55-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


any other factual information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Unless the same are otherwise reasonably publicly available, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year, provided that, as a condition to receipt of said financial statements, Landlord shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement, which shall include the ability to share the financial statements with parties who have a reasonable need to know of such information, including Landlord's financial and legal consultants, or its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, prospective lenders, prospective purchasers, and current and potential partners, subject to confidentiality terms set forth in such confidentiality agreement. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. If Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such estoppel certificate or other instruments within such ten (10) business day period, then Landlord may deliver a written notice (the "Estoppel Reminder Notice") to Tenant stating that Tenant has failed to deliver such estoppel certificate and/or other instruments within the required time period. If Tenant fails to deliver such estoppel certificate and/or other instruments within five (5) days following the date upon which Landlord delivered an Estoppel Reminder Notice, then such failure shall constitute an acceptance and acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

MORTGAGE OR GROUND LEASE
18.1    Subordination. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant, as of the date of this Lease, the only party having a deed of trust affecting the Project or any portion thereof is Deutsche Bank AG. Concurrently with the full execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall provide an "SNDAA" (defined below) form Landlord's current lender for the Project, which SNDAA shall be in the from of Exhibit F. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds (collectively, the "Encumbrances"), unless the holders of such Encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases (collectively, the "Mortgagee"), require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto; provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant's agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future Encumbrances, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement which requires such Mortgagee to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenant's possession, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease after any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease (a "SNDAA") executed by Landlord and the appropriate Mortgagee. Subject to Tenant's receipt of an SNDAA, Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the

lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and be bound as Landlord hereunder, and shall further agree not to disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease after any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.
18.2    Notice to Lienholder or Ground Lessor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 28, below, or elsewhere in this Lease, upon receipt by Tenant of notice from any Mortgagee, or from Landlord, which notice sets forth the address of such lienholder or ground lessor, and which notice specifically advises Tenant that all notices of default under this Lease, to be effective, must be copied to such lienholder or lessor, no notice of default from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such lienholder or ground lessor at the appropriate address therefor (as specified in the above-described notice or at such other places as may be designated from time to time in a notice to Tenant in accordance with Article 28, below). For the purposes of this Article 18, the term "mortgage" shall include a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not a mortgage on Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder).
18.3    Assignment of Rents. With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord's interest in this Lease, or the Rent payable to Landlord hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to any holder of a mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance in force against the Building or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises or to any lessor under a ground lease or underlying lease of the Building or the Project, Tenant agrees as follows:
18.3.1    The execution of any such assignment by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by such lienholder or ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such lienholder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, unless such lienholder or ground lessor shall, by notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect.
18.3.2    Notwithstanding delivery to Tenant of the notice required by Section 18.3.1, above, such lienholder or ground lessor, respectively, shall be treated as having assumed Landlord's obligations under this Lease only upon such lienholder's foreclosure of any such mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance, or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, and taking of possession of the Building or the Project or applicable portion thereof, or such ground lessor's termination of any such ground lease or underlying leases and assumption of Landlord's position hereunder, as the case may be. In no event shall such lienholder, ground lessor or any other successor to Landlord's interest in this Lease, as the case may be, be liable for any security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, unless and until such lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, respectively, actually has been credited with or has received for its own account as landlord the amount of such security deposit or any portion thereof (in which event the liability of such
-57-

lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, as the case may be, shall be limited to the amount actually credited or received).
18.3.3    In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases back to the seller thereof the entire Building or the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or the entirety of that part thereof acquired by such purchaser, as the case may be, be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, or to the successors to or assigns of such seller-lessee's estate, for performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such seller-lessee; provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant's agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future Encumbrances, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a SNDAA. Subject to Tenant's receipt of a SNDAA in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant covenants and agrees in the event the lease to such seller-lessee is terminated to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to such purchaser-lessor, if so requested to do so by such purchaser-lessor, and to recognize such purchaser-lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such purchaser-lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and be bound as Landlord hereunder, and shall further agree not to disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, or the successors to or assigns of such seller-lessee's estate, shall be the lessor under this Lease unless and until such seller-lessee's position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
19.1    Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.2    Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 19.1, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or
19.1.3    Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant under California Civil Code Section 1951.3; or

19.1.4    The (i) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any material provisions of Articles 10, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease, or any provision of the Tenant Work Letter, (ii) use by Tenant of the Premises in violation of the terms of Article 5 of this Lease, where such use would jeopardize Landlord's interest in the Building or the Project, or (iii) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease which failure, because of the character of such provision, covenant or condition, would immediately jeopardize Landlord's interest, where any of such failures under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), of this Section 19.1.4, continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.
The notice periods provided in this Section 19.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law; provided, however, nothing set forth in this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver by Tenant of any notice period required pursuant to the terms of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
19.2    Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive.
19.2.1    Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
19.2.1.1    The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
19.2.1.2    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
19.2.1.3    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
19.2.1.4    Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus
19.2.1.5    At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Laws.

ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


The term "rent" as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and 19.2.1(ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2    Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
19.2.3    Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by Applicable Laws, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3    Subleases of Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, then Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's option in its sole discretion, (i) to terminate any and all assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises, in which event Landlord shall have the right to repossess such affected portions of the Premises by any lawful means, or (ii) to succeed to Tenant's interest in any or all such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, in which event Landlord may require any assignees, sublessees, licensees or other parties thereunder to attorn to and recognize Landlord as its assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire or transferor thereunder. In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
19.4    Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
19.5    Landlord Default.

[Social Finance, Inc.]


19.5.1    General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.
19.5.2    Abatement of Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease (either such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an "Abatement Event"), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice (the "Eligibility Period"), the Base Rent, and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use for the normal conduct of Tenant's business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then Tenant's right to abate rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 11 or 13, as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto. Such right to abate Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, and Tenant's obligation to pay for parking shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event.
19.5.3    Abatement Event Termination Right. If, as a result of an Abatement Event, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, for a continuous period of one (1) year after Landlord's receipt of an applicable Abatement Event notice, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord (the "Abatement Event Termination Notice"), effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the
-61-

"Abatement Event Termination Date"), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the date such Abatement Event Termination Notice was delivered to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Section 19.5.3, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 19.5.3 only if Tenant is not then in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease.

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

LETTER OF CREDIT
21.1    Delivery of Letter of Credit. Within five (5) business days of Tenant's execution of this Lease and confirmation from Landlord that this Lease has been approved by Landlord and will be fully executed and delivered following receipt of the L-C, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable negotiable standby letter of credit (the "L-C") in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary (the "L-C Amount"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, payable in the City of San Francisco, California, running in favor of Landlord, drawn on a bank (the "Bank") reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor's Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody's Professional Rating Service (the "Credit Rating Threshold"), and otherwise conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21, including, without limitation, all of the requirements of Section 21.2 below, all as set forth more particularly hereinbelow. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining and maintaining the L-C. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, and the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of billing.
21.2    In General. The L-C shall be "callable" at sight, permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for
-62-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Tenant further covenants and warrants as follows:
21.2.1    Landlord Right to Transfer. The L-C shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L-C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.
21.2.2    No Assignment by Tenant. Tenant shall neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof. Neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance by Tenant in violation of this Section.
21.2.3    Replenishment. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the L-C pursuant to its rights set forth in Section 21.3 below, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L-Cs shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 19.1 above, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period).
21.2.4    Renewal; Replacement. If the L-C expires earlier than the date (the "LC Expiration Date") that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, which new L-C shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the L-C shall contain a so-called "evergreen provision," whereby the L-C will automatically be renewed unless at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice of non-renewal is provided by the issuer to Landlord; provided, however, that the final expiration date identified in the L-C, beyond which the L-C shall not automatically renew, shall not be earlier than the LC Expiration Date.
21.2.5    Bank's Financial Condition. If, at any time during the Lease Term, the Bank's long term credit rating is reduced below the Credit Rating Threshold, or if the financial condition of the Bank changes in any other materially adverse way (either, a "Bank Credit

Threat"), then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute L-C that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, and Tenant's failure to obtain such substitute L-C within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord, or Landlord's then managing agent, to immediately draw upon the then existing L-C in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant, as more specifically described in Section 21.3 below. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.
21.3    Application of Letter of Credit. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is past due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, "Bankruptcy Code"), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (E) a Bank Credit Threat or Receivership (as such term is defined in Section 21.6.1 below) has occurred and Tenant has failed to comply with the requirements of either Section 21.2.5 above or 21.6 below, as applicable. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder or if any of the foregoing events identified in Sections 21.3(B) through (E) shall have occurred, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, and the proceeds may be applied by Landlord (i) to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained resulting from Tenant's breach or default, (ii) against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or (iii) to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any Applicable Laws, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the L-C provided, however, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from challenging the validity of the amount of said draw following the occurrence thereof. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate

shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
21.4    Letter of Credit not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the L-C is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context ("Security Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
21.5    Proceeds of Draw. In the event Landlord draws down on the L-C pursuant to Section 21.3(D) or (E) above, the proceeds of the L-C may be held by Landlord and applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord's other assets. Tenant hereby (i) agrees that (A) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the proceeds from any such draw, and (B) such proceeds shall not be deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" under the Security Deposit Law, and (ii) waives all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Landlord agrees that the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord, and not (a) applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or (b) used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (the "Unused L-C Proceeds"), shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant (x) upon receipt by Landlord of a replacement L-C in the full L-C Amount, which replacement L-C shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, or (y) within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant's creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the Unused L-C Proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
21.6    Bank Placed Into Receivership.
21.6.1    Bank Placed Into Receivership. In the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship (any such event, a "Receivership") by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity (the "FDIC"), then, effective as of the date such Receivership occurs, the L-C shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such Receivership (the "LC Replacement Notice"), Tenant shall (i) replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, or (ii) in the event Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that Tenant is

reasonably unable to obtain a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1 within the foregoing ten (10) business-day period, deposit with Landlord cash in the L-C Amount (the "Interim Cash Deposit"); provided, however, that, in the case of the foregoing sub-clause (ii), Tenant shall have the right to replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L- C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.
21.6.2    Interim Cash Deposit. During any period that Landlord remains in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit (any such period, a "Deposit Period"), it is understood by the parties that such Interim Cash Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. The Interim Cash Deposit shall not constitute an advance of any Rent, an advance payment of any other kind, nor a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant's default. If, during any such Deposit Period, Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, then Landlord may but shall not be required to, from time to time, without notice to Tenant and without waiving any other remedy available to Landlord, use the Interim Cash Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such default or failure or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant's default or failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand any amount so applied in order to restore the Interim Cash Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord is in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time of such expiration or termination, then Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, less any amounts deducted by Landlord to reimburse Landlord for any sums to which Landlord is entitled under the terms of this Lease, within sixty (60) days following both such expiration or termination and Tenant's vacation and surrender of the Premises. Landlord's obligations with respect to the Interim Cash Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Interim Cash Deposit separate and apart from Landlord's general or other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Interim Cash Deposit with any of Landlord's general or other funds. Tenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Interim Cash Deposit. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Interim Cash Deposit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Interim Cash Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.
21.7    Reduction of L-C Amount. The L-C Amount shall not be reduced during that period commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the last day of Lease Year 4 (the "Fixed Period"). The Fixed Period shall be automatically extended (without the necessity of notice to Tenant) by four (4) months upon Tenant's second (2nd) failure to pay any Rent or any

[Social Finance, Inc.]


other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and shall be extended for an additional four (4) months upon each similar failure by Tenant thereafter. After the expiration of the Fixed Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), provided that on or prior to the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods and Tenant tenders to Landlord a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C (or a new L-C), conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21, in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount as of such Reduction Date, then the L-C Amount (as that amount may have been adjusted due to an expansion or reduction of the Premises in accordance with Article 1 of this Lease, the "Adjusted L-C Amount"), shall be reduced as follows:
Date of ReductionAmount of ReductionRemaining L-C Amount
First Day of Lease Year 5$857,142.86$5,142,857.14
First Day of Lease Year 6$857,142.86$4,285,714.28
First Day of Lease Year 7$857,142.86$3,428,571.42
First Day of Lease Year 8$857,142.86$2,571,428.56
First Day of Lease Year 9$857,142.86$1,714,285.70
First Day of Lease Year 10$857,142.86$857,142.86
First Day of Lease Year 11$857,142.86$0.00
If Tenant is allowed to reduce the L-C Amount pursuant to the terms of this Section 21.7, then Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in order to effectuate such reduction.
In the event Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods as of the applicable Reduction Date, or if Tenant fails to deliver a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C (or new L-C) as required by this Section 21.7, then the L-C Amount shall not be reduced upon such applicable Reduction Date, but the terms of this Section 21.7 shall remain effective and the L-C Amount shall thereafter be reduced, to the amount applicable to such Reduction Date, on the date Tenant is no longer in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods and Tenant delivers to Landlord a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C (or a new L-C), conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21, in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount (provided that no such reductions shall be permitted in the event this Lease is terminated early as a result of a Tenant default).
21.8    Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in connection with Landlord's improper draw against the L-C or Landlord's improper application or retention of any proceeds of the L-C or the Interim Cash Deposit shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied or wrongfully held, together with interest at the Interest Rate and reasonable

[Social Finance, Inc.]


actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such L-C to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's draw against the L-C, application or retention of any proceeds thereof, or the Bank's payment under such L-C, could not, under any circumstances, cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor. In the event Tenant shall be entitled to a refund as aforesaid and Landlord shall fail to make such payment within ten (10) business days after demand, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the next installment(s) of Base Rent.
ARTICLE 22
ROOF DECK
22.1    In General. Tenant shall have the right to use, on an exclusive basis, but subject to "Landlord Use Rights" (as defined hereinbelow), the roof deck to be constructed on the roof of the Building (the "Roof Deck").

Using only gas-lines installed by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to install and maintain heat lamps, fire pits, and barbeques on the Roof Deck.

22.2    Landlord Use Rights. Upon reasonable prior notice, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close the Roof Deck or limit access thereto from time to time in connection with Landlord's maintenance or repair of the Roof Deck or Building Structure ("Landlord Use Rights").

22.3    Other Terms. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) Tenant shall be responsible for supervising and controlling access to the Roof Deck by employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, contractors and invitees (the "Roof Deck Users") of Tenant and Landlord shall be responsible for supervising and controlling access to the Roof Deck by Landlord's Roof Deck Users; and (ii) Landlord is not responsible for supervising and controlling access to the Roof Deck. Except to the extent arising as a consequence of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's Roof Deck Users: (a) Tenant assumes the risk for any Loss arising out of the use or misuse of the Roof Deck by Tenant's Roof Deck Users, and Tenant releases and discharges Landlord from and against any such loss, claim, damage or liability; (b) Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties, harmless from and against any and all losses and claims relating to or arising out of the use or misuse of the Roof Deck by Tenant or Tenant's Roof Deck Users.

23.1    Interior Signage. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises, including in the elevator lobby of each full floor of the Premises leased by Tenant. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all such signage and repair all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from such removal.
23.2    Intentionally Omitted.
23.3    Exterior Signage. Throughout the Lease Term, as the same may be extended, so long as the Original Tenant or its Permitted Transferee occupies at least two (2) full floors of the Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right, at its sole cost and expense, to install, repair and maintain sign(s) ("Tenant's South Side Exterior Signage") on the exterior portion of the south side of the Building, and such additional exterior signage at the two entrances to the Building or elsewhere as Tenant shall desire (together with Tenant's South Side Exterior Signage, "Tenant's Exterior Signage"). Landlord shall work with Tenant to obtain approval from the City of San Francisco (the "City") of Tenant's Exterior Signage. Tenant acknowledges that the Building has been identified by the City as having historical significance, and Tenant's right to Tenant's Exterior Signage will be subject to governmental requirements and guidelines as a result. Any such installation, repair and/or maintenance of Tenant's Exterior Signage shall be subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, all governmental requirements, and Landlord's prior approval as to the shape, size and location of such signs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord hereby approves of the preliminary design, size and location of Tenant's South Side Exterior Signage, which is depicted on Exhibit H attached hereto. Landlord further agrees that, if permitted by applicable governmental authorities, Tenant's Exterior Signage may be illuminated. If Tenant changes its name at any time, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's cost, to modify or change Tenant's Exterior Signage as necessary to reflect the changed name. Any such changes or alterations to Tenant's Exterior Signage shall be subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and Landlord's prior approval as to the shape, size and location of any such changes or alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant's Exterior Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all Tenant's Exterior Signage and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal.
23.4    Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Except as set forth in Section 23.3, above, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project.

ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
24.1    Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer (to the extent within Tenant's reasonable control) anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, including any such governmental regulations related to disabled access (collectively, "Applicable Laws"). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with any Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant's use of the Premises, (ii) any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, and any Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Base Building, but as to the Base Building, only to the extent such obligations (a) pertain to Applicable Laws that were enacted, modified or initially enforced on or after the Lease Commencement Date and relate to the Building Systems, (b) are triggered by Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises to the extent such Alterations are not normal and customary business office improvements, or triggered by the Tenant Improvements to the extent such Tenant Improvements are not normal and customary business office improvements, or (c) are triggered by Tenant's use of the Premises for non-general office use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any obligation for Tenant to comply with Applicable Laws requires modifications to the Base Building are "capital in nature", then Landlord shall perform such modifications pursuant to Section 7.3 above, and the parties shall be responsible for the respective costs as set forth in Section 7.3 above. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations and to cooperate with Landlord, including, without limitation, by taking such actions as Landlord may reasonably require, in Landlord's efforts to comply with such standards or regulations. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith the interpretation or alleged violation of Applicable Laws as the same relate to Tenant or the Premises, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings, provided that Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability resulting from any such contest by Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay all fines, penalties and damages that may arise out of or be imposed because of its failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 24.
24.2    Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating (i) to the Building Structure, (ii) the Building Systems, but only with respect to Applicable Laws that were enacted, modified or initially enforced prior to the Lease Commencement Date, provided that, in either instance, compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord's failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant's employees or create a health hazard for Tenant's employees, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of or access

to the Premises. In addition to Landlord's obligations set forth in the Tenant Work Letter, Landlord shall remove, remediate, encapsulate or abate any other Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, asbestos and lead paint) which were in existence in the Building or on the Project prior to the Delivery Date, and were of such a nature that a federal, state, local or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous Substances, in the state, and under the conditions that it then existed in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such Hazardous Substances or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto. To the extent required by Applicable Laws, Landlord shall cause an Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Manual to be prepared and delivered to Tenant prior to the Lease Commencement Date, and shall comply with all asbestos disclosure and notification requirements under Applicable Laws.
24.3    Certified Access Specialist. Tenant hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord if Tenant makes any Alterations or improvements to the Premises that might impact accessibility to the Premises or Building under any disability access laws. Landlord hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant if Landlord makes any alterations or improvements to the Premises that might impact accessibility to the Premises or Building under any disability access laws. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist ("CASp"). As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises." In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection requested by Landlord or Tenant shall be conducted, at the requesting party's sole cost and expense, by a CASp approved by Landlord, subject to the non-requesting party's reasonable rules and requirements; and (b) the cost of making any improvements or repairs within the Premises, the Buildings or the Project to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards shall be allocated as provided in Section 24.1 and 24.2 above or elsewhere in this Lease.
ARTICLE 25
LATE CHARGES
If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days after said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the overdue amount plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder; provided, however, that no such late charge shall be assessed on the first (1st) occasion in any twelve (12)-month period that any rent or other sum is not received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days of the due date. The late charge shall be deemed

ARTICLE 26
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
26.1    Landlord's Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue, following notice from Landlord, in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2, above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.
26.2    Tenant's Reimbursement. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following sums (which sums shall bear interest from the date accrued by Landlord until paid by Tenant at a rate per annum equal to interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law), within thirty (30) days following delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant's defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses referred to in Article 10 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this Section 26.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

ground or underlying lessors or insurers, or to prospective tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; (iv) to perform Landlord's repair and maintenance obligations under this Lease; or (v) to the extent necessary in order for Landlord to take an action which Landlord has a right or an obligation to take under the terms of this Lease, or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) take possession due to any breach of this Lease after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods in the manner provided herein; and (B) pursuant to Section 26.1 of this Lease (except in the case of an emergency), perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant's business in connection with all entries into the Premises. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent (except as specifically set forth in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease) and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business and/or lost profits occasioned thereby, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord's liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Provided that Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant's business in connection with entries into the Premises, Tenant hereby waives any claims for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with such entries; provided that Tenant does not waive any claim for actual or constructive eviction as a result of Landlord's entry. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 27, Tenant may designate in writing certain reasonable areas of the Premises as "Secured Areas" should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall not enter such Secured Areas, except in the event of an emergency. Landlord shall only maintain or repair such Secured Areas to the extent (i) such repair or maintenance is required in order to maintain and repair the Building Structure; (ii) as required by Applicable Law, or (iii) in response to specific requests by Tenant and in accordance with a schedule reasonably designated by Tenant, subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations, except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.

If any term, provision or condition contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.
29.12    No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.
29.13    Landlord Exculpation. The liability of Landlord or the Landlord Parties to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord's operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the interest of Landlord in the Building and the rents, issues and profits thereof. Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. The limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.13 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord's and the Landlord Parties' present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for any indirect or consequential damages including damages to Tenant's business, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity and loss of goodwill, in each case, however occurring, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord's liability, if any, pursuant to applicable law for bodily injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
29.14    Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease constitutes the parties' entire agreement with respect to the leasing of the Premises and supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. None of the terms,

covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.
29.15    Intentionally Omitted.
29.16    Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a "Force Majeure"), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure.
29.17    Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.
29.18    REIT Representations. In the event Landlord or any of its direct or indirect members or partners or any successor to any of the above needs to qualify as a real estate investment trust Tenant agrees to cooperate in good faith with Landlord, but at no cost to Tenant (other than deminimus cost) to ensure that the Rent qualifies as "rents from real property," within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and/or any similar or successor provisions thereto (the "REIT Requirements"), including, without limitation, the following requirements:
29.18.1    Personal Property Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the average of the fair market values of the items of personal property that are leased to Tenant under this Lease at the beginning and at the end of any Lease Year shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the average of the aggregate fair market values of the leased property at the beginning and at the end of such Lease Year (the "Personal Property Limitation"). If Landlord reasonably anticipates that the Personal Property Limitation will be exceeded with respect to the leased property for any Lease Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant, and Tenant either (i) shall purchase at fair market value any personal property anticipated to be in excess of the Personal Property Limitation ("Excess Personal Property") either from Landlord or a third party or (ii) shall lease the Excess Personal Property from third party. In either case, Tenant's Rent obligation shall be equitably adjusted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall not be responsible in any way for determining whether Tenant has exceeded or will exceed the Personal Property Limitation and shall not be liable to Landlord or any of its shareholders in the event that the Personal Property Limitation is exceeded, as long as Tenant meets its obligation to acquire or lease any Excess Personal Property as provided above. This Section 29.18 is intended to ensure that the Rent qualifies as "rents from real property," within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

29.18.2    Subletting/Assignment. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Premises on any basis such that the rent or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the proposed sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision hereto.
29.18.3    REIT Requirements. Tenant agrees, at no cost or expense to Tenant, to cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Landlord to ensure that the terms of this Section 29.18 are satisfied. Tenant agrees upon request by Landlord to take reasonable action necessary to ensure compliance with all REIT Requirements and to ensure that Rent, at all times qualifies as "rents from real property" with the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. If Tenant becomes aware that the REIT Requirements are not, or will not be, satisfied, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such noncompliance.
29.19    Joint and Several. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.
29.20    Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in California and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so. Similarly, Landlord hereby represents and warrants that Landlord is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in California, that Landlord has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so.
29.21    Attorneys' Fees. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.
29.22    Governing Law; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY CONSENT TO (I) THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COMPETENT COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, (II) SERVICE OF PROCESS BY ANY MEANS AUTHORIZED BY CALIFORNIA LAW, AND (III) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN THE INTEREST OF SAVING TIME AND EXPENSE, TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR THEIR SUCCESSORS IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR ANY

EMERGENCY OR STATUTORY REMEDY. IN THE EVENT LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS OR ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT OF BASE RENT OR ADDITIONAL RENT, TENANT SHALL NOT INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE OR DESCRIPTION (UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE MANDATORY) IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION, BUT SHALL BE RELEGATED TO AN INDEPENDENT ACTION AT LAW.

29.24    Brokers. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 11 of the Summary (the "Brokers"), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party. Landlord shall pay any and all fees due to the Brokers in connection with this Lease pursuant to a separate written agreement.
29.25    Independent Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, including Section 19.5, this Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord's expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord.
29.26    Project or Building Image; Intellectual Property. Tenant may use pictures or illustrations of the exterior of the Project or Building, as well as the address of the Building, in advertising or other publicity or for any purpose. Landlord agrees that Tenant's and its Affiliates' trademarks and other intellectual property (including name/logo) and the goodwill associated therewith are the sole and exclusive property of Tenant and may not be used by Landlord for any purpose, except with the express prior written consent of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any efforts by Landlord or Landlord's agents to market, sell or refinance the Project, offering materials, including, but not limited to, offering memorandums and email solicitations, may include: Tenant's name, Tenant's logo, images of the interior of the Premises; characteristics of the Premises and Building, including, without limitation, information regarding the tenant improvements, the square footage, the age of the Premises, the number of stories and the location.

29.28.1    Communications and Computer Lines. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any electrical, communications or computer wires and cables (collectively, the "Lines") at the Project in or serving solely the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Articles 7 and 8 of this Lease to the extent reasonably applicable, (ii) the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and shall be surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iii) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply with all applicable governmental laws and regulations, and (iv) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith.

Landlord further reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any and all Lines located in or serving the Premises upon the expiration of the Lease Term or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, provided that upon Tenant's request at the time of requesting Landlord's consent to the installation of any Lines, Landlord shall notify Tenant (concurrently with Landlord's consent) as to whether any Lines to be installed based upon such consent will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this sentence.
29.29    No Discrimination. There shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any person or persons on account of sex, marital status, race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry in the Transfer of the Premises, or any portion thereof, nor shall the Tenant itself, or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees of the Premises, or any portion thereof.
29.30    Tenant's OFAC Compliance.  Tenant hereby warrants and represents that:  (i) neither Tenant nor, to Tenant's actual knowledge, any of its affiliates does business with, sponsors, or provides assistance or support to, the government of, or any person located in, any country, or with any other person, targeted by any of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"); Tenant is not owned or controlled (within the meaning of the regulations promulgating such sanctions or the laws authorizing such promulgation) by any such government or person; and any payments and/or proceeds received by Tenant under the terms of this Lease will not be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, any country, or to make any payments to any person, targeted by any of such sanctions; (ii) no funds tendered to Landlord by Tenant under the terms of this Lease are or will be directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal, state or international laws and regulations, including "Anti-Money Laundering Laws," as that term is defined below; (iii) neither Tenant, nor, to Tenant's

TENANT WORK LETTER
This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of "this Lease" shall mean the relevant portion of Articles 1 through 29 of the Office Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B and of which this Tenant Work Letter forms a part, and all references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of "this Tenant Work Letter" shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 6 of this Tenant Work Letter.
SECTION 1
LANDLORD'S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES
1.1    Base Building. Except as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the Base Building. Tenant shall accept the Base Building from Landlord in its presently existing, "as-is" condition, except for the Landlord Work described below.
1.2    Landlord Work. Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost, substantially complete the work set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively, the "Landlord Work"). Landlord shall perform the Landlord Work in a good and workmanlike manner, and, to the extent necessary for Tenant to pull any necessary construction permits or for Tenant to legally occupy the applicable Premises for the Permitted Use, in accordance with Applicable Laws.
1.2.1    Pre-Delivery Landlord Work. Landlord's delivery of the Premises to Tenant, with the Landlord Work substantially complete that is described on Schedule 1 as required to be completed prior to delivery ("Pre-Delivery Landlord Work"), shall be the "Delivery Condition" and the date of Landlord's delivery of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition is the "Delivery Date". When the Pre-Delivery Landlord Work is substantially complete, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing (such notice, the "Delivery Notice"), and Landlord and Tenant shall set a mutually convenient time for Landlord, Landlord's architect and Tenant and Tenant's Architect to walk through the Premises and prepare a list of "punch-list" items. Promptly following completion of the foregoing walk through, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice, as a confirmation only of the exact date of the Delivery Date, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided that if such notice is not factually correct, then Tenant shall make such changes as are necessary to make such notice factually correct and shall thereafter return such notice to Landlord within said ten (10) business day period. Tenant's failure to execute and return such notice to Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the Delivery Date set forth in such notice is as specified therein. After such walk-through, Landlord shall diligently complete such punch-list items in a good workmanlike manner.

[Social Finance, Inc.]


1.2.2    Remaining Landlord Work. The remainder of the Landlord Work that is not required to be completed as part of the Delivery Condition (the "Remaining Landlord Work") shall be substantially completed after the Delivery Date, using reasonable diligence. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that the term "Landlord Work" means both the Pre-Delivery Landlord Work and the Remaining Landlord Work. Following substantial completion of the Remaining Landlord Work, Landlord will provide Tenant with copies of as-built drawings, warranty manuals, and signed off job cards for all of the Landlord Work. From and after the date Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, neither party shall unreasonably interfere with or delay the work of the other party and/or its contractors or consultants, and both parties shall mutually coordinate and cooperate with each other, and shall cause their respective employees, vendors, contractors, and consultants to work in harmony with and to mutually coordinate and cooperate with the other's employees, vendors, contractors and consultants, respectively, to minimize any interference or delay by either party with respect to the other party's work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the work of Landlord's workers, mechanics and contractors and the work of Tenant's workers, mechanics and contractors, Landlord and Tenant shall resolve such conflict or interference by a reasonable resequencing or rescheduling of Tenant's remaining work as necessary to avoid the conflict or interference. In addition, Tenant and Tenant's Agents shall have access to the Premises after the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease, so long as such access does not interfere with the completion of Landlord Work.
1.2.3    Warranties and Guaranties. In addition to Landlord's obligations set forth in Section 1.1.1 of the Lease, Landlord's general contractor performing the Landlord Work shall, on commercially reasonable terms, guarantee to Landlord that the Landlord Work is free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion of the applicable portion thereof. Landlord's general contractor shall be responsible, on commercially reasonable terms, for the replacement or repair, without additional charge, of all work done or furnished in accordance with its contract that shall become defective within one (1) year after the completion of the work performed by such contractor. All such warranties or guarantees as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Landlord Work shall be contained in the contract or subcontract, on commercially reasonable terms. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall assign all such guaranties and warranties to Tenant, or if any such guaranties or warranties are not assignable to Tenant, Landlord agrees to enforce the same.
1.3    Delays in Substantial Completion of Landlord Work.
1.3.1.    Delay in Pre-Delivery Work. Landlord anticipates causing the Delivery Date to occur on October 1, 2018 (the "Anticipated Delivery Date"). If Landlord has not caused the Delivery Date to occur within three (3) months of the Anticipated Delivery Date ("Rent Abatement Date"), subject to extension by virtue of Force Majeure Delays, and any Tenant Delays, then Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day abatement of Base Rent attributable to the Premises for each day following the Rent Abatement Date until the Delivery Date (the Base Rent abatements described herein are referred to herein, collectively, as the "Late Delivery Date Abatements"). Tenant shall immediately apply any accrued Late Delivery Date Abatements against payments of Rent as they become due.

[Social Finance, Inc.]


1.3.2    Delivery Date Termination Right. Further, if the Delivery Date has not occurred within nine (9) months of the Anticipated Delivery Date (the "Delivery Delay Termination Date"), subject to extension by virtue of Force Majeure Delays, and any Tenant Delays, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord ("Delivery Delay Termination Notice") effective upon the date occurring five (5) business days following receipt by Landlord of the Delivery Delay Termination Notice (the "Termination Effective Date"), in which event, Landlord shall return any prepaid rent and the L-C forthwith to Tenant. Should the Delivery Date occur prior to Tenant's exercise of the foregoing termination right, however, such termination right shall, in such event, expire and be of no further force or effect upon such occurrence of the Delivery Date (provided that Tenant shall be entitled to receive all of the Late Delivery Date Abatements). If Tenant delivers a Delivery Delay Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Termination Effective Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Termination Effective Date by delivering written notice to Tenant, prior to the Termination Effective Date, that, in Landlord's reasonable, good faith judgment, the Delivery Date will occur within thirty (30) days after the Termination Effective Date. If the Delivery Date is satisfied within such thirty (30) day suspension period, then the Delivery Date Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the Delivery Date does not occur within such thirty (30) day suspension period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day suspension period. The Termination Effective Date shall be extended to the extent of any Force Majeure Delays, and, at Landlord's sole option, any Tenant Delays. Upon any termination as set forth in this Section 1.3.2, Landlord and Tenant shall be released from any and all liability to each other resulting under this Lease. Tenant's rights to the Late Delivery Abatements and the right to terminate this Lease, as set forth in Section 1.3.1 above and this Section 1.3.2, shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedies at law or in equity for the failure of the Delivery Date to occur prior to or after any particular date.
1.3.3    Delay in Remaining Landlord Work. Landlord anticipates causing substantial completion of the Remaining Landlord Work by the Lease Commencement Date. When the Remaining Landlord Work is substantially complete, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing, and Landlord and Tenant shall set a mutually convenient time for Landlord, Landlord's architect and Tenant and Tenant's Architect to walk through the Premises and prepare a list of "punch-list" items. After such walk-through, Landlord shall diligently complete such punch-list items in a good workmanlike manner. If Tenant has substantially completed the construction of the Tenant Improvements by the Lease Commencement Date, but Landlord has failed to substantially complete the Remaining Landlord Work by the Lease Commencement Date other than as a result of Tenant Delay, then the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended on a day-for-day-basis to until the date that Landlord has substantially completed the Remaining Landlord Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to occupy the Premises prior to the date the Remaining Landlord Work is substantially complete, in which event the Lease Commencement Date shall occur on the date Tenant commences to conduct business from the Premises.
1.3.4    Tenant Delay. For purposes hereof, any delay caused by the unreasonable (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) interference by Tenant, its agents or Tenant Parties (except as otherwise allowed by this Tenant Work Letter) with the substantial completion of the Landlord Work and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of the Landlord Work shall constitute a "Tenant Delay". If Landlord contends that a Tenant Delay has

occurred, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (a "Tenant Delay Notice") of (a) the event which constitutes such Tenant Delay and (b) the date upon which such Tenant Delay is anticipated to end. If such actions, inaction or circumstance described in the Tenant Delay Notice are not cured by Tenant within one (1) business day of Tenant's receipt of the Tenant Delay Notice and if such action, inaction or circumstance otherwise qualifies as a Tenant Delay, then a Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date of Tenant's receipt of the Tenant Delay Notice and ending as of the date such delay ends.
SECTION 2
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1    Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance for the Premises (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance"), in the amount set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant's improvements which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements"). In addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance of up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to be used by Tenant for the costs of installing window coverings (the "Window Covering Costs") on all new and existing exterior windows in the Premises (the "Window Covering Allowance"). The Window Covering Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord as part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance; provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse the Window Covering Allowance for costs that are unrelated to the Window Covering Costs. Except as set forth in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Tenant Work Letter, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that the Tenant Improvement Allowance is not fully disbursed by Landlord to, or on behalf of, Tenant on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Lease Commencement Date, then such unused amounts shall revert to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto; provided, however, that said eighteen (18) month period shall be extended to the extent Tenant's construction of the Tenant Improvements is delayed due to Force Majeure Delay or Landlord Caused Delay.
2.2    Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
2.2.1    Tenant Improvement Allowance Items. Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord's disbursement process) only for the following items and costs (collectively, the "Tenant Improvement Allowance Items"):
2.2.1.1    Payment of the fees of the "Architect" and the "Engineers," as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, together with the fees of any project manager, which fees shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Tenant Work Letter, not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $7.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter;

[Social Finance, Inc.]


2.2.1.2    The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;
2.2.1.3    The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, hoisting and trash removal costs, and contractors' fees and general conditions;
2.2.1.4    The cost of any changes to the Base Building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;
2.2.1.5    The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by all applicable building codes (the "Code");
2.2.1.6    The cost of connection of the Premises to the Building's energy management systems;
2.2.1.7    Intentionally omitted;
2.2.1.8    The cost of the "Coordination Fee," as that term is defined in Section 4.2.2.1 of this Tenant Work Letter;
2.2.1.9    Sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees; and
2.2.1.10    All other costs reasonably expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (provided that Landlord shall provide Tenant with prior written notice of any such other costs prior to incurring the same).
Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items include, and Landlord shall be solely responsible for, any and all costs to the extent (i) related to and arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's contractor or subcontractors, or (ii) the same are recovered from third parties.
2.2.2    Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance. During the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall make monthly disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items for the benefit of Tenant and shall authorize the release of monies for the benefit of Tenant as follows, and as set forth in Section 4.2.1 below.
2.2.2.1    Monthly Disbursements. On or before the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month during the construction of the Tenant Improvements (or prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements with respect to architectural and engineering fees and costs incurred prior to said date), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for reimbursement of the payment of the "Contractor," as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, approved by Tenant and its project manager, in an industry standard form, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed; (ii) paid

EXHIBIT B
-5-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


invoices from all of "Tenant's Agents," as that term is defined in Section 4.1.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Premises; (iii) executed conditional mechanic's lien releases from all of Tenant's Agents included in the current disbursement request and unconditional mechanic's lien releases from all of Tenant's Agents paid from prior disbursement requests, which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of both California Civil Code Sections 8134 and 8138 (the "Releases"); and (iv) all other information relating to the construction of the Tenant Improvements as is reasonably requested by Landlord. As between Tenant and Landlord only (and not as between Tenant and any contractor, vendor or service provider), Tenant's request for reimbursement shall be deemed Tenant's acceptance and approval of the work furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request. Thereafter, within thirty (30) days after receipt and approval of such items, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made payable to Tenant in payment of the lesser of: (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 2.2.2.1, above, less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of such retentions to be known as the "Final Retention"), and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (not including the Final Retention); provided that, to the extent Tenant is already retaining ten percent (10%) under its construction contracts relating to the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall not withhold an additional ten percent (10%). Landlord's payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord's approval or acceptance of the work furnished or materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request. If any work which is the subject of a request for payment creates a Design Problem, Tenant shall correct and eliminate such Design Problem as soon as reasonably possible.
2.2.2.2    Final Retention. Subject to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter, a check for the Final Retention payable to Tenant shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant following the completion of construction of the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed unconditional, final Releases, (ii) Landlord has determined that no Design Problem exists, and (iii) Architect delivers to Landlord a certificate, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed and (iv) Tenant delivers to Landlord the "Record Set" of documents, as defined in Section 4.3 below.
2.2.2.3    Other Terms. Landlord shall only be obligated to make disbursements from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant for Improvement Allowance Items. Except as expressly set forth in the Lease, all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord's property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease under the terms of this Lease.
2.2.2.4    One Disbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect by written notice to Landlord to receive the Tenant Improvement Allowance in a one-time disbursement upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above for disbursements of the Final Retention.
2.3    Removal of Tenant Improvements. Other than with respect to Above Standard Tenant Improvements as set forth in this Section 2.3, Landlord shall not require Tenant to remove from the Premises any Tenant Improvements (to the extent the same are constructed in the

EXHIBIT B
-6-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


Premises in accordance with the terms of this Tenant Work Letter) upon the expiration or any earlier termination of the Lease. "Above Standard Tenant Improvements" shall mean any part of the Tenant Improvements which do not constitute normal and customary general office improvements as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall include, without limitation, improvements such as voice, data and other cabling, raised floors, any installations outside the Premises, or any areas requiring floor reinforcement, personal baths and personal showers (but not showers in the basement or 2nd floor, or in the Fitness Center, if any), vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations of any type. Kitchen pantry improvements shall not be considered Above-Standard Tenant Improvements, so long as such improvements do not include commercial grade cooking equipment. Landlord may require that Tenant, upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease, remove at Tenant’s cost any Above Standard Tenant Improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.5 of the Lease which are otherwise applicable to the removal of Above Standard Alterations. Tenant, upon notice to Landlord delivered concurrently with a request for approval of any Tenant Improvements, may require Landlord to identify, in writing, any Tenant Improvements which constitute Above Standard Tenant Improvements.
2.4    Failure to Disburse Tenant Improvement Allowance. If Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to deliver notice (the "Payment Notice") thereof to Landlord and to any mortgage or trust deed holder of the Building whose identity and address have been previously provided to Tenant. If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver notice to Tenant within such fifteen (15) business day period explaining Landlord's proper good-faith reasons that Landlord believes that the amounts described in Tenant's Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord ("Refusal Notice"), Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount so owed to Tenant by Landlord but not paid by Landlord (or if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice but only with respect to a portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice and Landlord fails to pay such undisputed amount as required by the next succeeding sentence, the undisputed amount so owed to Tenant) with interest at the Interest Rate from the date due (i.e. the date payable under Sections 2.2.2.1 or 2.2.2.2 above) until the date of offset, against Tenant's next obligations to pay Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice disputing a portion of the amount set forth in Tenant's Payment Notice, in order for the Refusal Notice to be valid, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, the undisputed portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice. However, if Tenant is in monetary default under Section 19.1 of the Lease at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable, Tenant shall not be entitled to such offset until such default is cured. If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the disputed amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of a Refusal Notice, Tenant may submit such dispute to arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS (and Landlord and Tenant hereby submit to arbitration of such matter by JAMS and the determination of such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant).

SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1    Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner (the "Architect") to prepare the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. Landlord hereby approves of Gensler as the Architect. If Tenant changes the Architect, the new Architect shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless Tenant is performing Tenant Improvements on a design-build basis pursuant to Section 3.7 below, Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants selected by Tenant (the "Engineers") to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the Tenant Improvements. Landlord has the right to approve the Engineers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditional or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall retain Engineers and subcontractors designated by Landlord for performance of the work affecting the structural, HVAC, fire-life safety and sprinkler components of the Base Building; provided that such Engineers and subcontractors charge reasonably competitive rates. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the "Construction Drawings." Tenant shall be required to include in its contracts with the Architect and the Engineers a provision which requires ownership of all Construction Drawings to be transferred to Tenant upon the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a non-exclusive right to use such Construction Drawings, including, without limitation, a right to make copies thereof. All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications as determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord's review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters; provided, however, Landlord's approval of such Construction Drawings shall be deemed to mean that the same comply with the Specifications. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant's waiver set forth in the Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings. Landlord shall, concurrently with Landlord's approval of the Construction Drawings, inform Tenant if the Construction Drawings require changes to the Base Building.
3.2    Final Space Plan. Following the full execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the "Final Space Plan"), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver four (4) copies signed by Tenant of the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, and given or withheld within five (5) business days after the date Tenant submits the Final Space to Landlord for approval. If

EXHIBIT B
-8-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


Landlord disapproves of the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall set forth with reasonable specificity the grounds for such disapproval and recommend any modifications that would make the Final Space Plan acceptable to Landlord.
3.3    Final Working Drawings. Following Landlord's approval of the Final Space Plan, Tenant, the Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and the final architectural working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the "Final Working Drawings") and shall submit two (2) copies signed by Tenant of the same to Landlord for Landlord's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, and given or withheld within five (5) business days after submission to Landlord. If Landlord disapproves of the Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall set forth with reasonable specificity the grounds for such disapproval and recommend any modifications that would make the Final Working Drawings acceptable to Landlord. Once approved by Landlord, the Final Working Drawings are "Approved Working Drawings".
3.4    Procedure for Approval. Landlord may only withhold consent to the Final Space Plan or the Final Working Drawings if a "Design Problem" exists, as reasonably determined by Landlord. For purposes of this Tenant Work Letter, a "Design Problem" shall mean a condition that will (a) affect the Building Structure, (b) not be in compliance with Applicable Laws (including building codes, electrical codes, plumbing codes, etc.), (c) have an adverse effect on Building Systems or are materially incompatible with the existing Building Systems, (d) have an adverse effect on the exterior appearance of the Building, (e) vitiate or otherwise negatively affect any warranty, guaranty, or insurance maintained by Landlord, (f) materially increase Landlord's maintenance obligations pursuant to this Lease (or would materially increase Landlord's maintenance obligations at any time that Tenant is not the sole direct Tenant), (g) would be unusually difficult or expensive to remove, unless Tenant agrees to remove such items (repair any damage caused by such removal, and restore the affected areas to a Building standard condition) at Tenant's sole expense. If Landlord timely disapproves the Final Space Plan or Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall have a reasonable period after receiving Landlord's comments to revise and resubmit the Final Space Plan or the Final Working Drawings, as the case may be, to Landlord. Landlord shall have five (5) business days after receiving the revised Final Space Plan or the revised Final Working Drawings to approve or disapprove the same. If Landlord reasonably determines that a Design Problem continues to exist, the process in the preceding two sentences shall be repeated until Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed on the Final Space Plan or the Final Working Drawings, as applicable. Notwithstanding the mutual approval of the parties, the Final Working Drawings shall incorporate, without Landlord's approval, any modifications required by governmental authorities as a condition to obtaining a building permit or other governmental approvals.
3.5    Permits; Permit Contingency; Tenant Improvement Changes.
3.5.1    Permits. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord (the "Approved Working Drawings") prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. All applicable building permits necessary to construct and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements are the "Permits", which Permits may include the transfer of the existing Building permits and/or the receipt of new tenant improvement Permits.

The Permits pertaining to general office Tenant Improvements are the "Office Permits" and all other Permits are the "Non-Office Permits".
3.5.1.1    Landlord's Obligation to Submit For Office Permits. On or prior to November 1, 2018, Tenant shall submit to Landlord ninety percent (90%) design development drawings (excluding drawings for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, and fire/life safety, obtaining the approval of which shall be Tenant's responsibility) (the "Permit Drawings") in two (2) tranches (one tranche consisting of the Permit Drawings for the basement, ground level and floor 2 of the Building and the second tranche consisting of the Permit Drawings for floors 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Building), which Permit Drawings shall be in compliance with then applicable Code and in a form which will permit Landlord, on behalf of Tenant, to obtain the Office Permits. Promptly after Landlord's receipt of all of the Permit Drawings, Landlord shall submit the Permit Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities on an over the counter ("OTC") basis, and Tenant hereby designates Landlord as Tenant's agent for such purposes. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, as necessary, to obtain the Office Permits, including promptly responding to any plan check comments and revising the Permit Drawings to accommodate any plan check comments. Landlord agrees that it will submit the Permit Drawings to appropriate authorities on an OTC basis prior to Landlord's approval of the Final Working Drawings, but that such obligation shall not affect Landlord's rights to approve the Final Working Drawings, and Landlord's disapproval of the same in accordance with Landlord's rights under this Tenant Work Letter shall not constitute a Landlord Caused Delay or the termination of the Permit Contingency Date.
3.5.1.2    Tenant's Obligation to Submit for Non-Office Permits. Tenant, and not Landlord, shall submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all Non-Office Permits, and Landlord shall have no obligations with respect to the Non-Office Permits. However, Landlord shall execute permit applications and perform other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain the Non-Office Permits. Tenant shall not submit the Approved Working Drawings to appropriate municipal authorities for any Non-Office Permits, until Landlord has obtained all of the Office Permits required to be obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Section 3.5.1. Furthermore, except as is strictly necessary to obtain the Non-Office Permits, or approvals for painting the exterior of the Building, Tenant's Signage, the Telecommunications Equipment and/or any access control system installed by Tenant, in no event, at any time, may Tenant contact the City and County of San Francisco (the "City"), the City building department, or any other municipal or governmental authority to discuss the historical designation of the Building, or the zoning designation of the Building, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord sole discretion. Tenant's breach of the preceding sentence shall constitute a default under this Lease and waiver of Tenant's termination right set forth in Section 3.5.2 below.
3.5.2    Permit Contingency. If Landlord is unable to obtain the Office Permits by the date (the "Permit Contingency Date") that is the later to occur of (a) one month following the Delivery Date and (b) midnight on November 23, 2018, and such inability is solely attributable to a determination by the applicable municipal authorities that the Building may not be utilized for general office use as regulated by the City Planning Code, Tenant shall have the right to deliver a notice to Landlord (a "Permit Notice") on or before the Permit Contingency Date, electing to terminate this Lease effective upon the date occurring fifteen (15) business days following receipt

[Social Finance, Inc.]


by Landlord of the Permit Notice, unless Landlord delivers the Office Permits within such fifteen (15) business day period, in which event the Permit Notice shall be deemed null and void, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Tenant delivers the Permit Notice and this Lease is terminated following such fifteen (15) business day period, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred in designing the Tenant Improvements, not to exceed Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000). This Section 3.5.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant's termination right set forth in this Section 3.5.2 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) Tenant's failure to submit all of the Permit Drawings to Landlord by November 1, 2018, subject to extension for Landlord Caused Delay, (b) receipt of the Office Permits (and the lapse of the fifteen (15) day appeal period for filing an administrative challenge to such Office Permits without any appeal having been filed), and (c) the Permit Contingency Date occurring without Tenant's delivery (or without Tenant being entitled to deliver) a Permit Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an administrative challenge to an Office Permit is timely filed, then the Permit Contingency Date shall be extended until the date that is three (3) business days after the final, binding resolution of such appeal. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of Tenant's termination right set forth in this Section 3.5.2, Tenant shall not be permitted to perform any demolition, construction, or other Tenant Improvement work in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Tenant Work Letter, the Permit Contingency Date shall be extended by the number of days of delay in obtaining the Office Permits that Landlord is required to obtain hereunder due to Landlord Caused Delay, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days of delay of the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements caused by the Permit Contingency Date occurring after November 23, 2018 (i.e., due to a failure to cause the Delivery Date to occur one month prior to November 23, 2018). For clarification, the parties confirm that for purposes of this Section 3.5.2, the term "Office Permits" means permits for architectural drawings for the basement, ground level, and floors 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Building.
3.5.3    Landlord Defense of Enforcement Action. Immediately after any receipt thereof, Tenant or Landlord shall provide the other party with a copy (or notify the other party in writing if verbal notice is received) of all notices received from the City, or any agency, division or department thereof regarding any City Planning Code violations relating to the use of the Premises for general office purposes. If at any time during the Lease Term, the City notifies either Landlord or Tenant that use of the Premises for general office purposes is in violation of any applicable provision of the City Planning or Administrative Codes, and that it intends to initiate an enforcement action against Landlord or Tenant due to any such use, then Landlord will use diligent efforts to contest any such allegations and any enforcement action in connection therewith, at no cost to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord will keep Tenant reasonably apprised of the status of any such enforcement action. In addition, prior to submitting any documents and/or emails to the City regarding such enforcement action, Landlord will provide Tenant a minimum of five (5) business days to review and comment upon such documents and/or emails and will give due consideration to Tenant's comments. Landlord shall promptly pay all fines, penalties, time and material costs incurred by the City, and judgments arising from any enforcement action. Landlord shall also promptly pay all application fees, time and material costs incurred by the City, and development impact or any other costs or fees that are due in order to comply with any enforcement action.

3.5.4    Tenant Improvement Changes. No material changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings ("Tenant Improvement Changes") may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that Tenant shall have the right to modify the Approved Working Drawings without Landlord's consent if such modifications do not constitute a Design Problem. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of an Improvement Change request if there is a Design Problem with respect to such Improvement Change request otherwise Landlord shall approve such Improvement Change Request within such five (5) business day period. If Landlord advises Tenant that a Design Problem exists with respect to a Tenant Improvement Change request, Tenant shall cause the applicable Tenant Improvement Change request to be revised to correct such Design Problem. Landlord shall approve any re-submittal of a Tenant Improvement Change Request within three (3) business days after receipt thereof.
3.6    Electronic Approvals. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Work Letter, Landlord may, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, transmit or otherwise deliver any of the approvals required under this Tenant Work Letter via electronic mail to Tenant's representative identified in Section 6.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, or by any of the other means identified in Article 28 of the Lease. Similarly, Tenant and Landlord each may, in their sole discretion, transmit or otherwise deliver any notice or other communications required or desired under this Tenant Work Letter via electronic email to the other party's representative identified in this Tenant Work Letter, or by any other means identified in Article 28 of the Lease.
3.7    Design Build. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Tenant Work Letter, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to construct portions of the Tenant Improvements on a design-build basis if using Bay City Mechanical, CBF Electric, or Broadway Mechanical, or other company reasonably approved by Landlord, in which event the approval process for plans and specifications shall be appropriately modified. If not using these vendors, then MEP drawings will need to be prepared by Engineers.
SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1    Tenant's Selection of Contractor.
4.1.1    The Contractor. A general contractor ("TI Contractor") shall be retained by Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements.
4.1.2    Tenant's Agents. All subcontractors and laborers used by Tenant together with the TI Contractor, Architect, Engineers and any other consultants retained by Tenant shall be referred to herein collectively as "Tenant's Agents". Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve the subcontractors to perform work which will affect the elevators, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, exterior, foundation, and load bearing elements. Landlord shall approve or reasonably disapprove any such subcontractors proposed by Tenant within three (3) business days. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold approval of Tenant's subcontractors based on the proposed subcontractor's inadequate financial status, reputation for

EXHIBIT B

ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


poor quality work, inability or unwillingness to obtain performance or completion bonds or insurance, non-union status, or lack of experience with Comparable Buildings.
4.2    Construction of Improvements by Tenant's Agents.
4.2.1    Construction Contract; Cost Budget. Tenant shall submit a copy of the construction contract and general conditions with Contractor (the "Contract"), as well as copies of Tenant's contracts with all other Tenant's Agents, to Landlord for Landlord's records. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred, as set forth more particularly in Sections 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.10, above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract (the "Final Costs"). Prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall inform Landlord of the amount (the "Over-Allowance Amount") equal to the difference between the amount of the Final Costs and the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements). Tenant shall be responsible to make payments in connection with each disbursement (for this purpose disbursement means the amount to be disbursed from the Tenant Improvement Allowance plus the amount to be paid by Tenant) under this Tenant Work Letter (the "Over-Allowance Payments"), in an amount equal to the percentage of such disbursement obtained by dividing the Over-Allowance Amount by the amount of the Final Costs and multiplying such quotient by the total amount of the disbursement request, and such Over-Allowance Payment by Tenant shall be a condition to Landlord's obligation to pay any further amounts of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In no event shall the percentage of total Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed exceed the percentage of work completed as shown on the TI Contractor's payment application for which reimbursement is being requested. In the event that the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be in excess of the estimated amount as set forth in the Final Costs, any such excess shall be paid by Tenant out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in Sections 2.2.2.1 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Tenant Work Letter, above, for Landlord's approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs. Tenant shall provide Landlord with updated construction schedules and budgets on a regular basis during the course of construction of the Tenant Improvements, and in any event within fifteen (15) days after request by Landlord. In no event shall Tenant or the TI Contractor be required to obtain a payment or performance bond in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
4.2.2    Tenant's Agents.
4.2.2.1    Landlord's General Conditions for Tenant's Agents and Tenant Improvement Work. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings (as the same may be modified under this Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall pay a logistical coordination fee (the "Coordination Fee") to Landlord in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of (i) two percent (2%), and (ii) the Tenant Improvement Allowance and (B) the product of (i) one percent (1%), and (ii) any of the hard costs of constructing the Tenant Improvements that are in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance,

EXHIBIT B
-13-
ONE TEHAMA
[Social Finance, Inc.]


which Coordination Fee shall be for all services relating to the coordination of the construction of the Improvements and shall be deducted from the Improvement Allowance on a monthly basis based upon the amount of the draw request. In addition, if and to the extent, based on the nature of the mechanical, electrical or plumbing items, or structural items or items affected by Title 24 which are included in the Tenant Improvements, Landlord reasonably retains third party consultants, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs for such third party consultants expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice together with reasonable supporting evidence; provided that Landlord notified Tenant prior to incurring any such costs.
4.2.2.2    Requirements of TI Contractor.

Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property (or any portion thereof) in the Lease, shall not be exercisable in connection with any exercise of remedies pursuant to the Mortgage or any mezzanine loan secured by the membership interests in Landlord, including: (i) a purchase of the Property (or any portion thereof) at a foreclosure sale, (ii) a transfer of the Property (or any portion thereof) to Lender or its designee pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (iii) a transfer of the membership interests in Landlord pursuant to a foreclosure of any such mezzanine loan, or (iv) any subsequent sale of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Lender or its designee after such foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or by any mezzanine lender or its designee after such foreclosure of such mezzanine loan. The holder of any such mezzanine loan shall be a third party beneficiary of the foregoing sentence.
2.    Lender agrees that if Lender exercises any of its rights under the Mortgage, including entry or foreclosure of the Mortgage or exercise of a power of sale under the Mortgage, Lender will not disturb Tenant's right to use, occupy and possess the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under any term, covenant or condition of the Lease, and, subject to the terms hereof, Lender shall assume the obligations of Landlord and be bound to Tenant in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, including any extension term, except as provided hereinbelow.
3.    If, at any time Lender (or any person, or such person's successors or assigns, who acquires the interest of Landlord under the Lease through foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease as a result of a default or event of default under the Mortgage, upon Tenant's receipt of written notice of such succession, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such person so succeeding to the rights of Landlord under the Lease (herein sometimes called "Successor Landlord") as Tenant's landlord under the Lease, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments. Although said attornment shall be self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or to any Successor Landlord, such other instrument or instruments as Lender or such other person

shall from time to time request in order to confirm said attornment. Subject to the terms hereof, Lender or any Successor Landlord shall recognize the leasehold estate of Tenant under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the remaining balance of the Lease term and any extensions thereof with the same force and effect as if Lender or such Successor Landlord were the original landlord under the Lease, and Tenant's rights and privileges under the Lease shall not be disturbed or terminated by Lender's exercise of its rights or remedies under the Mortgage, except for any such disturbance incidental to Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies under the Mortgage. Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant's interest and estate under the Lease in any proceeding for foreclosure, unless such joinder shall be legally required.
4.    Landlord authorizes and directs Tenant to honor any written demand or notice from Lender instructing Tenant to pay rent or other sums to Lender rather than Landlord (a "Payment Demand"), regardless of any other or contrary notice or instruction which Tenant may receive from Landlord before or after Tenant's receipt of such Payment Demand. Tenant may rely upon any notice, instruction, Payment Demand, certificate, consent or other document from, and signed by, Lender and shall have no duty to Landlord to investigate the same or the circumstances under which the same was given. Any payment made by Tenant to Lender or in response to a Payment Demand shall be deemed proper payment by Tenant of such sum pursuant to the Lease. Landlord, by its execution of this Agreement, consents to the foregoing and waives any right, claim or demand which Landlord may have against Tenant by reason of such payments to Lender or as Lender directs pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage.
5.    If Lender shall become the owner of the Property or the Property shall be sold by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought to enforce the Mortgage or if the Property shall be transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender or any Successor Landlord shall not be:
(a)    except as set forth in clauses 5(c) and 5(d) hereof, liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) or bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Lender succeeded to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(b)    obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred, or to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be paid by any prior landlord (including Landlord), prior to the time that Lender or any Successor Landlord succeeded to the interest of such landlord under the Lease, except that the foregoing that not limit Successor Landlord's liability to (i) cure any default of such prior landlord (including Landlord) that is continuing in nature but only for the period from and after Lender or any Successor Landlord holds title or has possession of the Property, or (ii) disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with Exhibit B to the Lease; or
(c)    obligated to perform any construction obligations of any prior landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease, except that Lender agrees to perform the Landlord Work and Remaining Landlord Work as defined in Exhibit B to the Lease, or liable for any defects (latent, patent or otherwise) in the design, workmanship, materials, construction or otherwise with respect to improvements and buildings constructed on the Property, other than improvements constructed by Lender, if any; or

(d)    except as set forth in Section 7.4 of the Lease (Tenant's Right to Make Repairs) and Section 2.4 of the Work Letter (Failure to Disburse Tenant Improvement Allowance), subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims which Tenant may have been entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord) prior to the time any Successor Landlord succeeded to the interest of such landlord under the Lease; or
(e)    bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance (except that Tenant may pay the amounts requested by Landlord as representing estimated Tenant's Share of Additional Rent (as such terms are defined in the Lease); or
(f)    bound by any amendment, modification, termination (other than termination rights expressly set forth in the Lease) or surrender of the Lease made without the written consent of Lender (except with respect to execution of Exhibit C to the Lease and Tenant's exercise of an extension option in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Lease); or
(g)    liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until Lender or any Successor Landlord has actually received said deposit for its own account as the landlord under the Lease as security for the performance of Tenant's obligation under the Lease (which deposit shall, nonetheless, be held subject to the provisions of the Lease).
6.    Tenant hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees to and with Lender:
(a)    to deliver to Lender, at the addresses provided below, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a duplicate of each notice of default delivered by Tenant to Landlord at the same time as such notice is given to Landlord and no such notice of default shall be deemed given by Tenant under the Lease unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to cure such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. Provided that Lender has delivered to Tenant written notice that Lender intends to cure a default, Tenant further agrees to afford Lender a period of thirty (30) days beyond any period afforded to Landlord for the curing of such default, during which period Lender shall seek to cure such default, or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary so long as Lender diligently proceeds to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings) during which period Lender may elect (but shall not be obligated to) to seek to cure such default, prior to taking any action to terminate the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Lease (Tenant's Right to Make Repairs) shall prevail over the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(a). If the Lease shall terminate due to any default or bankruptcy of Landlord, as a result of foreclosure proceedings or otherwise in connection with enforcement of the Mortgage or in or in connection with Lender’s or its nominee’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, upon Lender's written request given within thirty (30) days after such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after such request, shall execute and deliver to Lender a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease and upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease;

(c)    to promptly certify in writing to Lender, in connection with any proposed assignment of the Mortgage, whether or not, to Tenant's current actual knowledge, any default on the part of Landlord then exists under the Lease and to deliver to Lender any tenant estoppel certificates required under the Lease.
7.    Tenant acknowledges that the interest of Landlord under the Lease is assigned to Lender solely as security for the Promissory Note, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or Lender becomes and then only with respect to periods in which Lender becomes, the fee owner of the Property.
8.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises is located (excluding the choice of law rules thereof).
9.    This Agreement and each and every covenant, agreement and other provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor holder of the Promissory Note) and may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against which enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought.
10.    All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed served upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or Lender appearing below.

The first sentence of Section 5.1 of the Tenant Work Letter is amended to read as follows: "The Lease Commencement Date shall occur as provided in Section 4 of the First Amendment to this Lease, provided that the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days of delay of the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements (as defined below) to the extent caused by a "Lease Commencement Date Delay," as that term is defined below, but only to the extent such Lease

In addition to the above, while you are employed at the Company, you will receive an annual incentive bonus based on Company performance metrics to be reasonably agreed upon by you and the Company, with a target of 100 percent of your annual base salary and a cap of 200 percent of your annual base salary. The confirmation of the criteria for evaluation of individual and Company performance and the amount of the annual incentive bonus will be decided upon by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and will be based on a combination of your individual performance and Company performance. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will set the relevant metrics within 45 days of the Start Date and confirm achievement of those metrics within 45 days of the end of the relevant performance period. For



the year of your Start Date, bonus achievement will, in no event, be deemed achieved at any level less than 100%.
3.    Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  You will be granted an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the current 409A value which will not be more than $10.78 per share (such option, the First Option"). The vesting commencement date for the option will be your Start Date. You will vest in 20% of the option shares on the 12-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date, and 1/60th of the total option shares will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service, as described in the applicable stock option agreement. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the option is granted, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith compliance with applicable guidance in order to avoid having the option be treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting an option to purchase the Company's common stock.
In addition, you will be granted an option to purchase 3,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $17.18 per share which is the price per share of the Company's Series G equity raise (such option, the "Second Option"). The vesting commencement date for the options will be your Start Date. You will vest in 20% of the option shares on the 12 month anniversary of your vesting commencement date, and 1/60th of the total option shares will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service, as defined in the applicable stock option agreement.
Both the First Option and the Second Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's standard form of award agreement applicable to options granted to the Company's other senior executive officers under the Company's 2011 Stock Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), as described in the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement, which you will be required to sign. Notwithstanding anything in the Company's standard form of award agreement or the Plan to the contrary, however, all of your option grants (including, but not limited to, the First Option and the Second Option) will provide for: (i) a 10-year expiration date, (ii) the acceleration of vesting described in Section 5 below (and remaining outstanding in the entirety (including the unvested and unexercisable portion) for three months following the termination of your employment to the extent required to permit such acceleration of vesting or until the earlier expiration of the award); (iii) immediate exercisability in full, subject to a right of the Company to repurchase any then-unvested shares (to the extent no longer eligible to vest) at no less than the original exercise price within 90 days after the vesting is no longer possible; (iv) exercisability as to then-vested shares under the options for the longer of three years following the termination of your service for any reason other than termination for Cause as defined in Section 5 below, (in which case you will have 90 days after termination of employment to exercise then-vested shares), and such period post-termination that may apply to the Company's other senior executives or employee population generally (but not exceeding the 10-year expiration date); and (v) net exercisability, at your election, to cover the aggregate exercise price, taxes and withholding due upon exercise (such that you will not be required to make any cash payment in connection with the exercise of your option to cover the aggregate amount of taxes and withholding (if any) due upon exercise of the option).
-2-


Separately, you will be granted 3,500,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). You will vest in 20% of the RSUs on the 12-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date, which shall be your Start Date, and 1/60th of the total RSUs will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service, as described in the applicable RSU agreement. The RSU grant will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's standard form of award agreement applicable to RSUs granted to the Company's other senior executive officers granted under the Plan, as described therein and in the applicable RSU agreement, which you will be required to sign. Notwithstanding anything in the Company's standard form of award agreement or the Plan to the contrary, however, your RSU agreement will provide for: (i) the acceleration of vesting described below (and remaining outstanding in the entirety (including the unvested and unsettled portion) for three months following the termination of your employment to the extent required to permit such acceleration of vesting or until the earlier expiration of the award), (ii) settlement of the shares corresponding to each vesting tranche of your RSUs within 30 days of the applicable vesting date, and (iii) net settlement, at your election, to cover the aggregate taxes and withholding due upon settlement (such that you will not be required to make any cash payment in connection with the settlement of your RSUs).
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Company's standard forms of award agreements thereunder, if any of your then-outstanding equity incentives (including, without limitation, the First Option, the Second Option, and the RSUs) would be cancelled for no consideration in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), such equity incentives will be deemed vested in full and will be settled for shares or automatically exercised, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction (with any performance- based vesting conditions deemed to have been met at maximum achievement levels).
The equity awards described in this Section 3 will be granted to you promptly following your Start Date and prior to any increase in the Company's 409A value. In the event of any stock split, extraordinary dividend, or similar transaction, including if prior to the relevant grant date(s), all of the equity incentives in this Section 3 shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted.
4.    Pro-Rata Participation Right.  For so long as you remain employed by the Company, the Company will give you the right to purchase, on the same terms as apply to other purchasers, in each Company financing and offering (including any public offering), up to that number of shares, or number or amount of other securities, such that, assuming maximum participation in each transaction, your percentage ownership of the Company's fully diluted capitalization (including shares issuable upon conversion, exercise and/or settlement of all Company securities then outstanding and shares reserved for issuance under all Company equity incentive plans then in existence) would be no less after the final closing of such transaction than your percentage ownership was as of immediately before the initial closing of such transaction.
5.    Severance.
If at any time you are subject to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), then (i) the Company or its successor (as applicable) shall pay you a lump-sum cash payment on the Company's first regular payroll date following your termination date equal to the sum of (a) twelve months of your base salary and (b) 100% of your annual bonus amount at the higher of (1) the
-3-


target level of achievement and (2) the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, (ii) you will continue to receive health, dental, and vision coverage under the Company's group insurance benefits (including your covered dependents) at no cost to you for 12 months, in each of the foregoing cases (i) and (ii), as in effect immediately preceding your termination or, if applicable, immediately preceding the event that first gave rise to Good Reason, and (iii) you will receive vesting acceleration of each of your then-outstanding Company equity incentives (including, but not limited to, the First Option, Second Option, and RSUs) as if you had remained in continuous service to the Company for an additional 12 months following your actual termination date and as if all applicable performance-based vesting conditions (if any) were met at the target achievement level or, if higher, the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, with such acceleration effective as of immediately prior to the termination of your employment.
If you experience a Qualifying Termination at any time after, or within three months prior to, a Change of Control, then, Company or its successor (as applicable) shall pay you, in lieu of the benefits described in the paragraph immediately above, a lump-sum cash payment on the Company's first regular payroll date following your termination date equal to the sum of (i) of (a) 18 months of your base salary and (b) 150% of your annual bonus amount at the higher of (1) the target level of achievement and (2) the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, (ii) you will continue to receive health, dental, and vision coverage under the Company's group insurance benefits (including your covered dependents) at no cost to you for 18 months, in each of the foregoing cases (i) and (ii), as in effect immediately preceding your termination or, if applicable, immediately preceding the event that first gave rise to Good Reason, and (iii) 100% of your then-outstanding equity incentives (including, but not limited to, the First Option, Second Option, and RSUs) shall accelerate (including as to all applicable performance-based vesting conditions (if any), which will be deemed satisfied at maximum achievement), with such acceleration effective as of immediately prior to the later of your Qualifying Termination (as defined below) and the Company's Change of Control (as defined below).
For purposes of this letter, the following definitions shall apply:
"Cause" shall mean (i) your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, material dishonesty or other willful and material misconduct that has caused material injury to the Company, (ii) your unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any party to whom you owe an obligation of nondisclosure due to your relationship with the Company, which unauthorized use or disclosure has caused material injury to the Company, or (iii) your material breach of any of your obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company, provided that such material breach shall not constitute Cause unless you have first received notice of the breach and failed reasonably to cure the material breach (to the extent curable) within 30 days of such notice.
"Change of Control" shall have the meaning given to that term in the Plan, provided, however, that solely for purposes of the benefits described in this letter, the occurrence of "all" in clause (iii) of the Plan's definition of "Change of Control" shall be replaced with "a majority" and provided, furthermore, that a Change of Control shall not include any transaction or
-4-

Social Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below.
1.    Position.
You will start in a full-time position as Chief Financial Officer on [           ] (your "Start Date"). You will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company.
2.    Compensation and Employee Benefits.
You will be paid a starting salary of $500,000 per year, payable on the Company's regular payroll dates, which salary may be increased from time to time (the "Base Salary"). As a senior executive officer and regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits, which are described in the employee benefit summary that will be sent to you under separate cover and which will be commensurate with those of the Company's other senior executive officers.
In addition to the above, while you are employed at the Company, you will receive an annual incentive bonus based on Company performance metrics to be reasonably agreed upon by you and the Company, with a target of one hundred percent (100%) of your Base Salary. The confirmation of the criteria for evaluation of individual and Company performance and the amount of the annual incentive bonus will be decided upon by the Chief Executive Officer, and will be based on a combination of your individual performance and Company performance. The Chief Executive Officer will set the relevant metrics for the 2018 annual incentive bonus within forty- five (45) days of the Start Date, and within forty-five (45) days of the beginning of the applicable fiscal year thereafter and confirmation of achievement of annual performance metrics will occur within forty-five (45) days of the end of the relevant performance period.
3.    Stock Options and Restricted Stock.



Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), you will be awarded an option to purchase one million one hundred fifty thousand (1,150,000) shares of the Company's common stock (such option, the First Option"). The grant date of and vesting commencement date for the First Option will be your Start Date. You will vest in 25% of the First Option on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date, and 1/48th of the First Option will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service (a four (4)- year vesting schedule from State Date, as described in the applicable stock option agreement. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the option is granted, which at the date of this letter is ten dollars and seventy-eight cents ($10.78) per share, as reasonable determined by the Board in compliance with applicable guidance in order to avoid having the option be treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"). There is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting an option to purchase the Company's common stock.
In addition, subject to Board Approval, you will be awarded an option to purchase one million four hundred thousand (1,400,000) shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of seventeen dollars and eighteen cents ($17.18) per share which is the price per preferred share of the Company's Series G equity financing (such option, the "Second Option"). The grant date of and vesting commencement date for the Second Option will be your Start Date. You will vest in 25% of the Second Option on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date, and 1/48th of the Second Option shares will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service (a four (4)-year vesting schedule from the State Date), as defined in the applicable stock option agreement.
Both the First Option and the Second Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's standard form of award agreement applicable to options granted to the Company's other senior executive officers under the Company's 2011 Stock Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), as described in the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement, which you will be required to sign. Notwithstanding anything in the Company's standard form of award agreement or the Plan to the contrary, however, all of your option grants (including, but not limited to, the First Option and the Second Option) will provide for: (i) a ten (10)-year expiration date, (ii) the acceleration of vesting described in this Section below (and remaining outstanding in the entirety (including the unvested and unexercisable portion) for three (3) months following the termination of your employment to the extent required to permit such acceleration of vesting or until the earlier expiration of the award); (iii) immediate exercisability in full, subject to a right of the Company to repurchase any then-unvested shares (to the extent no longer eligible to vest) at no less than the original exercise price within ninety (90) days after the vesting is no longer possible; (iv) exercisability as to then-vested shares under the options for the longer of three (3) years following the termination of your service for any reason other than termination for Cause as defined in Section 3 below, (in which case you will have ninety (90) days after termination of employment to exercise then-vested shares), and such post-termination period that may apply to the Company's other senior executives or employee population generally (but not exceeding the ten (10)-year expiration date); and (v) net exercisability, at your election, to cover the aggregate exercise price, taxes and withholding due upon exercise (such that you will not be required to make any cash payment in connection with the exercise of your option to cover the aggregate amount of taxes and withholding (if any) due upon exercise of an option).
-2-


Separately, subject to Board approval, you will receive a grant of one million three hundred fifty thousand (1,350,000) restricted stock units ("RSUs"). You will vest in twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date and grant date, which shall be your Start Date, and 1/48th of the RSUs will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service (a four (4)-year vesting schedule from the Start Date), as described in the applicable RSU agreement. The RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's standard form of award agreement applicable to RSUs granted to the Company's other senior executive officers granted under the Plan, as described therein and in the applicable RSU agreement, which you will be required to sign. Notwithstanding anything in the Company's standard form of award agreement or the Plan to the contrary, however, your RSU agreement will provide for: (i) the acceleration of vesting described in this Section below (and remaining outstanding in the entirety (including the unvested and unsettled portion) for three (3) months following the termination of your employment to the extent required to permit such acceleration of vesting or until the earlier expiration of the award), (ii) settlement of the shares corresponding to each vesting tranche of your RSUs within thirty (30) days of the applicable vesting date, and (iii) net settlement, at your election, to cover the aggregate taxes and withholding due upon settlement (such that you will not be required to make any cash payment in connection with the settlement of your RSUs).
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Company's standard forms of award agreements thereunder, if any of your then-outstanding equity incentives (including, without limitation, the First Option, the Second Option, and the RSUs) would be cancelled for no consideration or below the value received by common stockholders in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), such equity incentives will be deemed vested in full and will be settled for shares or automatically exercised, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction (with any performance-based vesting conditions deemed to have been met at maximum achievement levels).
The grant date of the First Option, Second Option and RSUs described in this Section 3 will be your Start Date. In the event of any stock split, extraordinary dividend, or similar transaction, including if prior to the relevant grant date(s), all of the equity incentives in this Section 3 shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted.
Severance.
If at any time you are subject to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), then (i) the Company or its successor (as applicable) shall pay you a lump-sum cash payment on the Company's first regular payroll date following your termination date equal to the sum of (a) twelve (12) months of your Base Salary and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of your annual bonus amount at the higher of (1) the target level of achievement and (2) the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, (ii) you will continue to receive health, dental, and vision coverage under the Company's group insurance benefits (including your covered dependents) at no cost to you for twelve (12) months, in each of the foregoing cases (i) and (ii), as in effect immediately preceding your termination or, if applicable, immediately preceding the event that first gave rise to Good Reason, and (iii) you will receive vesting acceleration of each of your then-outstanding Company equity incentives (including, but not
-3-


limited to, the First Option, Second Option, and RSUs) as if you had remained in continuous service to the Company for an additional twelve (12) months following your actual termination date and as if all applicable performance-based vesting conditions (if any) were met at the target achievement level or, if higher, the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, with such acceleration effective as of immediately prior to the termination of your employment.
If you experience a Qualifying Termination at any time after, or within three (3) months prior to, a Change of Control, then, Company or its successor (as applicable) shall pay you, in lieu of the benefits described in the paragraph immediately above, a lump-sum cash payment on the Company's first regular payroll date following your termination date equal to the sum of (i) of (a) eighteen 18 months of your Base Salary and (b) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of your annual incentive bonus amount at the higher of (1) the target level of achievement and (2) the actual level of achievement reasonably projected as of the termination of your employment, (ii) you will continue to receive health, dental, and vision coverage under the Company's group insurance benefits (including your covered dependents) at no cost to you for eighteen (18) months, in each of the foregoing cases (i) and (ii), as in effect immediately preceding your termination or, if applicable, immediately preceding the event that first gave rise to Good Reason, and (iii) full accelerated vesting of your then-outstanding equity incentives (including, but not limited to, the First Option, Second Option, and RSUs, and as to all applicable performance-based vesting conditions (if any), which will be deemed satisfied at maximum achievement), with such acceleration effective as of immediately prior to the later of your Qualifying Termination (as defined below) and the Change of Control (as defined below).

Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title,

For purposes of Section 3, the phrase "termination of employment," and correlative phrases, mean a "separation from service" as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the regulations under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 3, if you are a "specified employee," as defined in Section 409A, at the time of your separation from service, except due to death, and some or any portion of the amounts payable to you, if any, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A and would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to you on or within the six (6) month period following your separation from service, then such payments shall be delayed and will instead become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the separation from service (or such longer period as is
-6-


required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A). Any subsequent separation benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the original payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

Position.
You will start in a full-time position as CEO of Galileo and Head of SoFi International, and you will initially report to Anthony Noto, Chief Executive Officer. By signing this letter, you confirm with Galileo Financial Technologies, LLC. (the "Company") that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company.
Compensation and Employee Benefits.
You will be paid a starting salary of $500,000 per year, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates.
You are eligible for an annual discretionary bonus of 100% of your annual base salary, dependent upon company as well as individual performance. The bonus, if earned, will be paid out no later than Q1 of the following year.
Sign On Bonus. In addition, we will provide you with a sign-on bonus in the amount of $2,000,000 which will be advanced to you within your first 30-days. The sign-on bonus is being provided in anticipation of your working at the Company for at least two years, and is not earned until the second anniversary of your employment. If you voluntarily terminate your employment within 24 months of your start date or are terminated for Cause (which is defined as (i) a willful failure to perform your duties and responsibilities to the Company or your violation of any written Company policy; (ii) your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty or any other willful misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in injury to the Company; (iii) your unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom you owe an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of your relationship with the Company; or (iv) a material breach of any of your obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company), you agree to repay the Company 100% of the amount of the sign-on advance that you received, which must be repaid to the Company on or before your last day of employment.
Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted $20,000,000 in restricted stock (“RSUs”). These RSUs will vest to you over time with 25% of the RSUs granted vesting on the 6-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date. Vesting commencement dates are on the 14th of the third month of each quarter. The remainder will vest in equal amounts over the next 14 quarters, provided you remain employed with the Company. The RSU grant will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s

standard form of award agreement that is applicable to RSUs granted under the stock plan then in effect (“Stock Plan”) as described therein and in the applicable RSU agreement, which you will be required to sign. Your grant will include language stating that 100% of the then unvested RSUs will vest and become exercisable upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the Company’s applicable Stock Plan and such other terms as stated in the grant agreement. In the event that you voluntarily resign or your employment is terminated for Cause as defined in the applicable Stock Plan within 12 months of your start date, you agree to repay the Company 50% of the value of your then-vested RSUs at the value of the date of grant, which must be repaid to the Company on or before your last day of employment.
