As previously announced, on March 8, 2021, New Beginnings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“New Beginnings”), Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New Beginnings (“Merger Sub”), and Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Airspan”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Airspan and Airspan will survive the merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Beginnings (collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”), subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approvals and the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. 

On July 30, 2021, New Beginnings entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among New Beginnings, as issuer, Merger Sub, as guarantor, DBFIP ANI LLC, as agent, collateral agent and trustee (in such capacities, the “Collateral Agent”), and FIP UST LP, Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP, DBDB Funding LLC, Fortress Lending II Holdings L.P., FLF II Holdings Finance L.P., Fortress Lending Fund II MA-CRPTF LP, Fortress Lending I Holdings L.P. and FLF I Holdings Finance L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers” and each, a “Purchaser”), pursuant to which New Beginnings will issue between $20.0 million and $66.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (each, a “Convertible Note”, and collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) immediately prior to or substantially concurrent with the closing of the Transactions.

The Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum (the “Base Rate”), payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2021. Under certain circumstances, a default interest will apply following an event of default under the Convertible Notes at a per annum rate equal to the lower of (i) the Base Rate plus 3.75% and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 31, 2024, unless earlier accelerated, converted, redeemed or repurchased.

The Convertible Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount thereof (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), into shares of common stock of the combined company following the consummation of the Transactions (the “Post-Combination Company”) at a conversion price equal to $12.50 per share. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes will be subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and subdivisions, stock and other dividends and distributions, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations and other similar changes in capital structure. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes will be subject to a broad-based weighted average anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Post-Combination Company issues, or is deemed to have issued, shares of Post-Combination Company common stock, other than certain excepted issuances, at a price below the conversion price then in effect. Notwithstanding the above, the number of shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company that may be acquired by a holder upon any conversion of a Convertible Note will be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company then beneficially owned by that holder and its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of common stock of the Post-Combination Company would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company (including the shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company issuable upon such conversion). If New Beginnings issues the maximum $66.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, such aggregate principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, together with any applicable make-whole premium, would be convertible into up to 6,164,400 shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company (plus any additional shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company which may become issuable under the anti-dilution provisions of the Convertible Notes). 

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, or if the Post-Combination Company common stock or other securities into which the Convertible Notes are then convertible cease to be listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange, in each case, prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, a holder of Convertible Notes will have the right, at its option, to require the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the holder’s Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to the sum of (i) all of the principal to be repurchased, (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of repurchase, and (iii) any applicable make-whole amount. In addition, a future voluntary prepayment of Airspan’s existing senior secured debt (the “Credit Agreement”) will grant a holder of Convertible Notes the right, at its option, to require the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash a proportionate amount of the holder’s Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to the sum of (a) the principal to be repurchased, (b) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase, and (c) any applicable make-whole amount. In the event certain other events occur or conditions exist, including the issuance of certain Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), certain asset dispositions, and certain issuances of equity, a holder of Convertible Notes will have the right, at its option, to require the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash a portion of the holder’s Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to the sum of (x) the principal to be repurchased, (y) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase, and (z) any applicable make-whole amount. In the event certain cash flow thresholds are exceeded or certain proceeds of condemnation or insurance are received and not reinvested, a holder of Convertible Notes will have the right, at its option, to require the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash a portion of the holder’s Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to the sum of (A) all of the principal to be repurchased, and (B) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to or through, as applicable, the date of repurchase.

The Convertible Notes will not be redeemable by the Post-Combination Company prior to the second anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes (the “Closing”). On or after the second anniversary of the Closing, the Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Post-Combination Company for cash, shares of Post-Combination Company common stock or any combination thereof, at the Post-Combination Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Post-Combination Company common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Post-Combination Company provides notice of redemption to the holders of Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to (i) all of the principal to be redeemed, (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of redemption, and (iii) any applicable make-whole amount.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to the Credit Agreement and the obligations under the Convertible Notes will be pari passu in right of payment and lien priority and will be secured by the same collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes will be guaranteed, at Closing, by Merger Sub and, following the Closing, by Airspan (as surviving entity to the merger between Airspan and Merger Sub) and each of Airspan’s subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. In connection with the Closing, New Beginnings will issue up to $66,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, which are convertible into shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company. The shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company to be issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Senior Secured CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AND GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

This SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AND GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 30, 2021 (the “Signing Date”), by and among New Beginnings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), each of the Purchasers listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers” and each, a “Purchaser”), the guarantors appearing on the signature pages hereto (together with each of their respective successors and assigns and each other subsidiary of the Issuer required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes to become a guarantor hereunder, the “Guarantors”) and DBFIP ANI LLC (“Fortress”), as agent, collateral agent and trustee for the Secured Parties (Fortress in such capacities together with its successors and assigns in such capacities, the “Agent” and/or the “Collateral Agent”).

WHEREAS, on March 8, 2021, the Issuer, Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Airspan”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement to be completed on and prior to the closing date thereof, collectively, the “Transaction”, and the time and date of the closing of the Transaction, the “Merger Effective Time”), pursuant to which, among other things, in the manner, and on the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth therein, effective as of the closing of the Transaction, Merger Sub will merge with and into Airspan (the “Merger”), with Airspan being the surviving entity in the merger and continuing (immediately following the Merger) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer;

WHEREAS, on March 8, 2021, the Issuer entered into subscription agreements with various “institutional accredited investors” (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which such PIPE Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000,000 on the Closing Date (the “PIPE”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act contained in Section 4.2(a)(2) thereof, the Issuer desires to issue and sell and the Purchasers desire to subscribe for and purchase the Issuer’s 7% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (each, as amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, reissued, modified or supplemented in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, a “Convertible Note” and collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) of and from the Issuer having the terms set forth on Annex A attached hereto, which is incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, in an aggregate initial principal amount up to $66,000,000, at the initial purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) (provided that in no case shall a Purchaser be required to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Convertible Notes set forth beside such Purchaser’s name on Appendix A and if the aggregate initial principal amount of Convertible Notes issued on the Closing Date is less than $66,000,000 in the aggregate, the share of the Convertible Note offered and sold to each Purchaser shall be allocated in accordance with the formula set forth in Appendix A (such amount, the “Purchaser’s Allocated Share”));

WHEREAS, as a condition of the purchase of the Convertible Notes, it is a requirement of the Purchasers that that the Convertible Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Issuer including, upon the consummation of the Merger, Airspan and the Subsidiaries thereof that are “Loan Parties” as such term is defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and that the Obligations under the Note Documents are secured by the same Collateral and on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Obligations and any other Priority Lien Obligations (each as defined below); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Purchase and Sale of Convertible Notes; Backstop Fee.

1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof including the satisfaction (or if applicable, waiver) of all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 2 below, at the Closing, each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to each Purchaser, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, such Purchaser’s Allocated Share of the Convertible Notes (such issuance, the “Issuance”) in an aggregate principal amount for all Convertible Notes so issued to be equal to the amount in the Closing Notice delivered by the Issuer, which aggregate principal amount shall not be more than $66,000,000 in the aggregate or less than $20,000,000 in the aggregate. The total purchase price of the Convertible Notes to be funded by the Purchasers as of Closing in cash may be reduced by the amount of the Backstop Fee and the Administration Fee (all of which may be treated as original issue discount and be added to the face amount of the Convertible Notes so received by the Purchasers). All of the expenses of the Secured Parties relating to the issuance of the Convertible Notes (the “Purchaser Expenses”) shall be paid in cash by the Issuer on the Closing Date. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint obligations and each Purchaser shall have no obligation and no liability to any Person for the performance or nonperformance by any other Purchaser hereunder.

1.2 Backstop Fee and Administration Fee.

(a) Backstop Fee. At the Closing, the Issuer hereby agrees to pay to the Purchasers an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “Backstop Fee”), which Backstop Fee shall be deducted from the Purchase Price delivered to the Issuer at Closing and may be treated as original issue discount at the Purchaser’s election.

(b) Administration Fee. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, or its designee, an administration fee in an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per annum (the “Administration Fee”), which fee shall be due and payable annually in advance on the Closing Date and thereafter on each anniversary of the Closing Date. The Administration Fee paid on the Closing Date shall be deducted from the Purchase Price delivered to the Issuer at Closing and may be treated as original issue discount at the Purchaser’s election.

Section 2. Closing.

2.1 Closing Date. The consummation of the Issuance contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date of the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction at the Merger Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Purchaser shall have any further obligation to purchase the Convertible Notes or deliver the Purchase Price therefor if the Transaction has not been consummated by August 15, 2021 (the “Merger Outside Date”; provided that the Merger Outside Date and the related Purchaser obligations shall refer to the next Business Day after such date, if the Issuer determines that the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) means such later Business Day).

2.2 Closing Notices. At least three (3) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes to be issued to Purchaser, and (iii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Issuer. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, each Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Convertible Notes (net of the Backstop Fee and Purchaser Expenses, as applicable) with respect to such Purchaser’s Allocated Share by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the Issuer in escrow until the Closing separate from the Trust Account, and deliver to the Issuer such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Issuer to issue the Convertible Notes to such Purchaser or its nominee, including, without limitation, a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, at the Closing (or such later date agreed by such Purchaser it its sole discretion), the Issuer shall promptly deliver, to such Purchaser or its nominee the Convertible Notes. In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Outside Date”), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Issuer and Purchaser, the Issuer will promptly return (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after the Closing Outside Date) the funds so delivered by the Purchasers to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.2 by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Purchasers. Notwithstanding such return (x) a failure to consummate the Transaction on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10 herein, each Purchaser shall remain obligated until the Merger Outside Date (A) to redeliver funds to the Issuer following the Issuer’s delivery to such Purchaser of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

2.3 Conditions Precedent. The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by each of the parties hereto of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(a) no Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Governmental Authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition;

(b) the Issuer shall have obtained and furnished to each Purchaser and the Collateral Agent a copy of all consents and waivers required in connection with the consummation of the transactions related to the purchase of the Convertible Notes (excluding any consent or waiver in connection with the Golden Wayford Note), including evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser of consents to the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the other Note Documents from Softbank Group International Limited in connection with the Softbank Loan Agreement;

(c) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement, including the approval of the Issuer’s stockholders and regulatory approvals, if any, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied by a party to the Transaction Agreement at the closing of the Transaction, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction);

(d) the Underlying Shares shall have been approved for listing on NYSE American stock exchange (the “NYSE American”), subject to notice of official issuance, and no suspension of the qualification of the Underlying Shares for offering or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(e) the initial Purchasers and the Collateral Agent shall have received evidence in form and substance satisfactory to them that all of the Purchaser Expenses invoiced at least two (2) days prior to the Closing shall be paid concurrently with the consummation of the Closing on the Closing Date.

2.4 Account for Proceeds. Prior to the Closing, the Issuer shall have established a segregated account in the name of the Issuer for the purpose of holding the purchase price of the Convertible Notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 and upon the Closing such account shall be subject to a Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent and pledged as Collateral to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

2.5 Additional Conditions to Closing. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3, the obligation of each Purchaser to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by such Purchaser of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(a) all representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in this Agreement and all representations and warrantees of the Guarantors contained herein and in the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing as though made on the Closing (except for those representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date), and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Issuer of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement and in the Term Loan Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing both before and after giving effect to consummation of the Transaction;

(b) the sum of (i) the gross proceeds from the PIPE received by the Issuer upon its consummation and (ii) the cash in the Trust Account of the Issuer shall have equaled no less than $70,000,000;

(c) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes issued to the Purchasers at Closing shall equal no less than $20,000,000;

(d) the Issuer shall have performed, satisfied or complied with all agreements and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing;

(e) all authorizations, approvals or permits, if any, of any Governmental Authority or regulatory body of the United States or of any other country or state that are required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and the lawful issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes and pursuant to this Agreement shall be obtained and effective as of the Closing; and

(f) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred nor shall Airspan shall have experienced a material adverse effect on its business, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or the results of operations of such Person and its Subsidiaries;

(g) the Issuer shall have paid (or caused to be paid) on or before the Closing all fees and expenses then due and payable in connection with the Closing (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed by the Issuer to the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent in connection with the Note Documents) shall have been paid, in each case to the extent due (which amount may be offset against the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes made on the date of the Closing under this Agreement);

(h) the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent shall have received a solvency certificate from the chief financial officer or treasurer (or officer with equivalent duties) of the Issuer in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent;

(i) the Issuer shall have provided or caused to be provided the documentation and other information to the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent that they reasonably determine is required by United States regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, in each case, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, to the extent that the Collateral Agent or the Purchaser shall have reasonably requested in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing;

(j) on or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent shall have received each of the conditions precedent to the Closing set forth on the closing agenda attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement;

(k) the initial Purchasers and the Collateral Agent shall have received evidence that the Transaction shall be consummated immediately following or substantially concurrently with the Closing on the Closing Date and in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement without any amendment, modification or waiver of the Transaction Agreement that materially and adversely affects the Issuer or the Purchasers’ investment in the Issuer unless such Purchaser shall have consented thereto in writing. For the avoidance of doubt the Issuer shall not amend the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined herein) or waive non-compliance with any condition to the consummation of the Merger without the prior written consent of the Purchasers; and

(l) on or prior to the Closing, each Purchaser and the Collateral Agent shall have received a disclosure letter from the Issuer and Airspan addressed to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers and, if applicable, attaching and certifying such additional supplements to the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement and as to the matters and disclosures specified therein (the “Disclosure Letter”).

2.6 Requested Information. Prior to or at the Closing, each of the parties to this Agreement shall deliver all such other information and shall take all such actions as is reasonably requested by the other parties in order for the Issuer to deliver the Convertible Notes to Purchaser or its nominee and all such other documents or evidence necessary in connection with this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties.

3.1 Issuer Representations and Warranties. Each of the Note Parties represent and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries, that the following representations are true, complete and correct:

(a) Existence, Good Standing, and Power. The Issuer, each of the Guarantors, and each of their Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as identified in Schedule 3.1(l); (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to this clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) the Israeli Guarantor is not a “company in breach” (“hevrah meferah”), as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, and neither has received a notice that it is expected to be registered as such. Schedule 3.1(l) also correctly sets forth a fully diluted capitalization table of Airspan and its respective Subsidiaries upon giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions at the Merger Effective Time showing all Equity Interests held in Airspan and each of its Subsidiaries, as well as, the legal name and jurisdiction of formation or organization for each such Person.

(b) Due Authorization and Valid Issuance of Common Stock. The shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (the “Underlying Shares”) are duly authorized and, when issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens or other restrictions, and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Issuer’s organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Closing Date), by any contract to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, or under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

(c) Due Execution and Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Purchasers, this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer and each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies. The Convertible Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Issuer. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor, the Convertible Notes will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ generally, as limited by laws relating to the availability of equitable remedies. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Note Documents, the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes and the compliance by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and the consummation of the Transactions and the transactions contemplated herein and therein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of: (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other instrument or Contractual Obligation to which the Issuer or each of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Issuer or each of the Guarantors is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer, Airspan or any of their Subsidiaries is subject; (ii) the Organization Documents of the Issuer, and each of the Guarantors, Airspan or any of their Subsidiaries; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or each of the Guarantors or any of its respective properties, in each case that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Convertible Notes or the legal authority of the Issuer or each of the Guarantors to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement or any other Note Document (including the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes).

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d), neither the Note Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries are required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other Governmental Authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, or enforcement (against the Issuer and/or the Guarantors) of the Transaction Agreement, this Agreement and the Note Documents (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any)), other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to Section 5 below, (iii) those required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) or the NYSE American, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, (iv) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Transaction Agreement, (v) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, (vi) those obtained and delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, and (vii) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s legal authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes. No grants, funds or benefits (including, but not limited to, tax benefits actually applied) from the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly known as, the National Authority for Technological Innovation) or any other Governmental Authority were received by the Issuer or any Guarantor and none of the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors is obligated to pay any royalties or any other payments to the Israel Innovation Authority or any other Governmental Authority.

Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Convertible Notes or any other action that would reasonably be expected to subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Convertible Notes to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

As of their respective dates, all reports statements, schedules, prospectuses or registration statements, including all projections contained therein (collectively, the “SEC Reports”) required to be filed by the Issuer with the SEC complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Issuer included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and Airspan and its Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, (a) neither the Issuer or Airspan or any of their Subsidiaries has any material liability of any nature (matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent), (b) all liability reserves, if any, established by the Issuer were adequate in all material respects and were established by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and Airspan and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP in the United States consistently applied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations in the preceding two sentences shall not apply to the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021, which report was superseded by the filing of the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A on May 14, 2021. A copy of each SEC Report is available to Purchaser via the SEC’s EDGAR system. The Issuer has timely filed, after giving effect to any extension period, each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Issuer was required to file with the SEC since its initial registration of the Common Stock with the SEC. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by the Issuer from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Collateral Agent is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Collateral Agent and the Holders are entitled to rely exclusively on any Compliance Certificates delivered hereunder).

None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Collateral Agent (other than forward-looking information and projections and information of a general economic nature and general information about the such Person’s industry) in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not materially misleading. All projections delivered to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party have been prepared in good faith on a basis that is believed by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors to be, and based on assumptions, estimates, methods and tests that are believed by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors to be reasonable at the time such projections were prepared and information believed by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors to have been accurate based upon the information available to the Issuer and each of the Guarantors at the time such projections were furnished to the Secured Parties, and none of the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors is aware of any facts or information that would lead it to believe that such projections are incorrect or misleading in any material respect; it being understood that projections are by their nature subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Issuer and the Guarantors’ control and actual results may differ materially from the projections and such variations may be material.

(i) Common Stock of the Issuer. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “NBA” (it being understood that the trading symbol will be changed in connection with the Transaction).

Both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including the consummation of the Transaction and the receipt of payment for the Convertible Notes), none of the Issuer, the Guarantors nor any of their Subsidiaries is, is required to be, or will be required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

No condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any material permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation necessary to the operation of the business of the Issuer, or as the context may require, the Guarantors, as currently operated, and, to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, the business of Airspan and its Subsidiaries as currently operated, and to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect or would cease to be in full force and effect after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents (including the purchase and sale of the Convertible Notes and the consummation of the Transactions).

There are no Tax Liens or claims pending or threatened against the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or property other than Permitted Liens.

(1) Schedule 3.1(x)(1) sets forth a complete and accurate list as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the Merger Effective Time of all: (i) issuances, registrations and applications for Intellectual Property owned or exclusively licensed by Issuer or a Subsidiary, indicating for each, as applicable, the title, jurisdiction, record owner, and application or registration number; and (ii) Licenses to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound that are material to the conduct of the business of the Issuer or any Subsidiary or that involve any Assigned Patent, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any commercially available ‘off-the-shelf’ software or open source software licenses used in the business of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, or any licenses granted to customers, distributors or agents of the Issuer or any Subsidiary for the purpose of testing, demonstrating, using, installing, maintaining, updating, repairing, decommissioning and otherwise exploiting the Products (each, a “Material License”).

(2) Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, Issuer and each Subsidiary exclusively own (or will own upon giving effect to the Transactions at the Merger Effective Time) all right, title and interest in and to, or have a valid and enforceable right to use, free and clear of any Lien other than any Permitted Liens, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as presently conducted and as it will be conducted upon giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions at the Merger Effective Time. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(x)(2), within the (3) three years preceding the Closing Date, no claim has been brought, is pending, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer or the Guarantors, has been threatened, by any Person (i) alleging that the conduct of the business of the Issuer or a Subsidiary, or to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and its Subsidiaries, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of any Person or (ii) challenging or questioning the validity, enforceability, ownership, use, registrability or patentability of any Material Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, no Person is infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, or to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and its Subsidiaries.

(3) Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1(x)(3), no Foreign Subsidiary of the Issuer, any Guarantor or to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and its Subsidiaries, owns any registrations or applications to register any Material Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, all registrations and pending applications for Material Intellectual Property, listed in accordance with Section 3.1(x)(1) are (i) subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or part, and (ii) valid and in full force and effect. Issuer and each Subsidiary, and to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and each of its Subsidiaries, has taken commercially reasonable steps to maintain, enforce and protect its Intellectual Property, including by requiring each employee, consultant and independent contractor involved in the creation, development or authorship of any Intellectual Property to execute an agreement pursuant to which such Person (x) agrees to protect the confidential information of the Issuer and each Subsidiary and (y) assigns to Issuer or a Subsidiary, as applicable, all rights in any Intellectual Property created in the course of his, her or its employment or other engagement with the Issuer or a Subsidiary.

(4) Except as may be disclosed to the Collateral Agent in writing prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer and each Guarantor, and to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and IP Hold-Co, have obtained and properly recorded previously executed assignments from inventors and all other Persons for the Assigned Patents as necessary to fully perfect their rights and title therein in accordance with applicable Law in each respective jurisdiction. All inventors named on the Assigned Patents are true and correct.

(5) Except as may be set forth on Schedule 3.1(x)(5), there is no obligation imposed by a standards-setting organization with respect to any of the Assigned Patents. No funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Authority were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any Intellectual Property assets, or any other products or services of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, and to the Knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantors, Airspan and each of its Subsidiaries.

(6) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(x)(6), none of the Assigned Patents has ever been found invalid, unpatentable, or unenforceable for any reason in any proceeding and Issuer and its Subsidiaries have no Knowledge of and has not received any notice or information of any kind suggesting that the Assigned Patents may be invalid, unpatentable, or unenforceable. If any of the Assigned Patents are terminally disclaimed to another patent or patent application, all patents and patent applications subject to such terminal disclaimer are included in the Assigned Patents. To the extent “small entity” fees were paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for any Assigned Patent, such reduced fees were then appropriate because the payor qualified to pay “small entity” fees at the time of such payment and specifically had not licensed rights in any Assigned Patent to an entity that was not a “small entity”.

(7) Issuer and each Subsidiary, and to the Knowledge of the Issuer and Guarantors, Airspan and each of its Subsidiaries, have taken all reasonable and necessary steps to maintain and enforce the Material Intellectual Property and Material Licenses and to preserve the confidentiality of all trade secrets and proprietary information included in the set of Material Intellectual Property, including by requiring Persons having access thereto to execute binding, written non-disclosure agreements or otherwise effectively obligate themselves with respect to non-disclosure and non-use. Neither the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, including their employees, and to the knowledge of the Issuer, the Guarantors, and Airspan, each of the Issuer’s, Airspan’s, the IP Hold-Co and the Guarantor’s agents and contractors, has disclosed any trade secrets or other proprietary, confidential or personal information in which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person has (or purports to have) any right, title, or interest (or any tangible embodiment thereof) to any Person without having the recipient thereof execute a written agreement regarding the non-disclosure and non-use thereof or otherwise effectively obligate themselves with respect to non-disclosure and non-use.

(12) None of the Issuer, the Guarantors, Airspan, nor any of their Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement that conflicts with the security interest in the Intellectual Property of the Issuer or any Asset Security Provider granted under the Collateral Documents, and no license agreement with respect to any such Intellectual Property diminishes in any material respect the value of any Intellectual Property, the Issuer, any Guarantor, Airspan, or any of their Subsidiaries or interferes with the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Note Documents. After giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions at the Merger Effective Time on the Closing Date, no material Intellectual Property of the Issuer, any Guarantor, Airspan, or any of their Subsidiaries is included in the set of Excluded Assets of the Issuer or the Guarantors.

Section 5. Registration of Underlying Shares.

5.1 Registration Statement. The Issuer agrees that the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all of the Underlying Shares (if any) no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the Commission reviews and has written comments to the Registration Statement, the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing thereof) and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the applicable Holder for review at least three (3) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement.

In such event, the number of Underlying Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Underlying Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Underlying Shares not included in the Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Issuer agrees that, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Such Holder until the earlier of (i) three (3) years from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, or (ii) the date on which all of the Underlying Shares (if any) shall have been sold. If requested by any Holder, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from any Underlying Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or from any Convertible Notes and Underlying Shares to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (including any successor rule thereto) and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Holder (as defined below) as reasonably requested by the Issuer, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that conditions precedent to the removal of any restrictive legends have been satisfied on the part of the Holder. From and after such time as the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow such Holder to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration are available to Holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock for so long as such Holder holds Underlying Shares, the Issuer shall, at its expense, make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and such reports and other documents are required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable such Holder to sell the Underlying Shares (if any) under Rule 144 for so long as such Holder holds any Convertible Note; and furnish to such Holder, promptly upon such Holder’s reasonable request, (i) a written statement by the Issuer, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Issuer and such other reports and documents so filed by the Issuer, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. “Underlying Shares” shall be deemed to include, as of any date of determination, any equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Underlying Shares (if any) by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event. The Issuer’s obligations to include the Underlying Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding a Holder, the securities of the Issuer held by such Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Underlying Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Underlying Shares, and such Holder and the Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided, however, that such Holder shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Underlying Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform such Holder as to the status of such registration. No Holder shall be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of any Underlying Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require a Holder not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Issuer, or if the Commission issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or indicates the intention to initiate any proceedings for such purpose (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (w) the Issuer shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by such Holder of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

5.2 Suspension Events. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer (which notice shall not contain any material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer) of the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Holder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of any Underlying Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare at its expense) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Issuer, such Holder will deliver to the Issuer, or in such Holder’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Underlying Shares in such Holder’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Underlying Shares shall not apply (w) to the extent a Holder is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

5.3 Other Required Notices. The Issuer shall advise each of the Holders within five (5) Business Days:

(a) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(d) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to a Suspension Event; and

(e) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising the Holders of such events, the Holders with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to the Holders of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (e) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer, and each such Holder is notified that such events are material, nonpublic information at the time of notification.

5.4 Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

5.5 Amendment to Registration Statement; Supplement of Prospectus. Except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Agreement, the Issuer shall as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Underlying Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

5.6 Listing of Underlying Shares. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all of the Underlying Shares (when issued) to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer’s Common Stock have been listed.

5.7 Registration of Underlying Shares. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Underlying Shares (if any) issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes required hereby. The Issuer shall be responsible for all registration and filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.), national securities exchange fees, blue sky fees and expenses, printing and delivery expenses and fees and disbursement of the Issuer’s counsel and accountants incurred in connection with the registration of the Underlying Shares.

5.8 Piggyback Registration Rights for Underwritten Offerings.

(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Issuer proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten offering of such securities solely for cash, then the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed offering to the Holders as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of the “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, and (B) offer to such Holders the opportunity to include in such underwritten offering such number of Underlying Shares as the Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to 5.8(b), the Issuer shall, in good faith, cause such Underlying Shares to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Underlying Shares requested by the applicable Holders pursuant to this 5.8(a) to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Issuer included in such registered offering and to permit the sale of such Underlying Shares in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any of a Holder’s Underlying Shares in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreeing to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwritten offering.

(b) If the total amount of securities, including Underlying Shares of the applicable Holder(s), requested to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Issuer that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Issuer shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Underlying Shares, which the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling security holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling security holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling security holders).

(c) Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Issuer and the underwriter or underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Issuer (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or otherwise abandon such offering. The expenses of such withdrawal registration shall be borne by the Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuer shall be responsible for all registration and filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.), national securities exchange fees, blue sky fees and expenses, printing and delivery expenses and fees and disbursement of the Issuer’s counsel and accountants incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this 5.8(c).

(d) Each Holder shall have the right to irrevocably waive its rights under this 5.8 (without prejudicing or altering its other rights under this Section 5) by providing written notice to the Issuer in accordance with this Agreement, in which case the Issuer will not provide any notice contemplated by this 5.8.

Any injunction, whether temporary or permanent, shall be rendered against the Issuer, any Guarantor, or any of their material Subsidiaries that prevents Issuer or any of its material Subsidiaries from operating or otherwise conducting a material portion of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in the aggregate in the ordinary course for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days after the earlier of (i) a Responsible Officer of the Issuer or any Guarantor obtaining actual or constructive knowledge of such default or (ii) the Issuer receiving written notice of such default from the Collateral Agent or any Holder of a Convertible Note.

A moratorium shall be agreed or declared in respect of any Indebtedness of the Note Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any restriction or requirement not in effect on the Closing Date shall be imposed, whether by legislative enactment, decree, regulation, order or otherwise, which limits the availability or the transfer of foreign exchange by Issuer and/or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of performing any payment obligation under the Convertible Notes or any other Note Document to which it is a party and such moratorium, restriction, or requirement, has a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to perform their payment obligations under the Convertible Notes or any other Note Document.

(p) Invalidity of Upstreaming.

6.2 Rights and Remedies.

(a) Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(h) or Section 6.1(i) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent or the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Collateral Agent if the notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal, interest, fees and other amounts and premiums in respect of the Convertible Notes and other Obligations (including, without limitation the Make-Whole Amounts (if any)) to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, the principal, interest, fees and other amounts and premiums in respect of the Convertible Notes and other Obligations (including, without limitation the Make-Whole Amounts (if any)) will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(h) or Section 6.1(i) hereof occurs, the principal, interest, fees and other amounts and premiums in respect of the Convertible Notes and other Obligations (including, without limitation the Make-Whole Amounts (if any)) will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity Date (as defined in the Convertible Notes), in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, an Event of Default under Section 6.1(h) or Section 6.1(i) hereof (including the acceleration of any portion of the Convertible Notes by operation of law)), the Applicable Redemption Amount shall be due and payable (including any Make-Whole Amounts) as though the Convertible Notes had been optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration and any such Make-Whole Amounts and any other premiums comprising the Applicable Redemption Amount shall constitute part of the Obligations with respect to the Convertible Notes in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. If the Applicable Redemption Amount becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Convertible Notes, and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Convertible Notes (including any such Make-Whole Amounts and any other premiums comprising the Applicable Redemption Amount) from and after the applicable triggering event, including in connection with an Event of Default specified under Section 6.1(h) or Section 6.1(i) hereof. Any such Make-Whole Amounts and any other premiums comprising the Applicable Redemption Amount payable above shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each holder as the result of the acceleration of the Convertible Notes and the Issuer and the Guarantors to the extent they provide guarantees for the Obligations agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Convertible Notes or the Obligations are satisfied, released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale or collection of the Collateral or by any other means, or in connection with the restructuring, reorganization or compromise of the obligations by a plan of reorganization or otherwise. THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer and Guarantors will expressly agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) any such Make-Whole Amounts and any other premiums comprising the Applicable Redemption Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Redemption Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Redemption Amount; and (D) the Issuer and any Guarantor shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Applicable Redemption Amount to Holders as herein described was a material inducement to investors to acquire the Convertible Notes. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes by written notice to the Issuer and to the Collateral Agent may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: (x) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Convertible Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and (y) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, or Make-Whole Amounts on the Convertible Notes and other Obligations or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement and/or the other Note Documents, including without limitation, (i) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, apply any funds in its possession to the Obligations, (ii) if a Triggering Event (as defined in the IP Hold-Co Operating Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, distributions made pursuant to the IP Hold-Co Operating Agreement shall be made in accordance with the IP Hold-Co Operating Agreement and applied to the Obligations in the order provided by the IP Hold-Co Operating Agreement and then in the manner provided in Section 6.2(i); (iii) provide notice to the Issuer and the Guarantors that any funds, payments, recoveries, distributions or other amounts received shall be applied as set forth in Section 6.2(i) rather than as set forth in Section 4.1(e) and (iv) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any limitations therein, exercise any and all other remedies under the Collateral Documents, Note Documents and under the UCC or other applicable Law available to the Collateral Agent and the Holders or any rights in equity. The Collateral Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Convertible Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Collateral Agent or any Holder of a Convertible Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by Law. It being understood that in all cases the Issuer and the Guarantors shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency. If the Collateral Agent, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, the Secured Parties shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by the Secured Parties of cash therefor.

(c) Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes by notice to the Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Convertible Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(a) hereof and Section 14.3 hereof. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent or exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent. However, the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with Law, this Agreement or the other Note Documents, that may involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability, or that the Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any direction is prejudicial to any Holder). In addition, the Collateral Agent may take any other action it deems necessary or proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from the Holders. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any action at the direction of Holders of Convertible Notes unless such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the Collateral Agent indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.

(e) Limitation on Suits. A Holder of a Convertible Note may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement, the Convertible Notes or the other Note Documents, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Agreement, the Convertible Notes or the other Note Documents, unless: (A) the Holder of a Convertible Note has previously given to the Collateral Agent written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (B) the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes have made a written request to the Collateral Agent to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Collateral Agent under this Agreement; (C) the Holders of the Convertible Notes have offered and, if requested, provided to the Collateral Agent an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; (D) the Collateral Agent for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (E) during such sixty (60) day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes have not given the Collateral Agent a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. A Holder of a Convertible Note may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Convertible Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Convertible Note.

(f) Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the right of any Holder of a Convertible Note to receive payment of principal of, or interest on its Convertible Note on or after the Stated Maturity Date thereof (as defined in the Convertible Note), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder.

(g) Collection Suit by Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(i) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent is authorized to recover a judgment in its own name and as collateral agent against the Issuer and the Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Make-Whole Amounts, if any, remaining unpaid on the Convertible Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amounts and Obligations as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel.

(h) Collateral Agent May File Proof of Claims. The Collateral Agent is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Convertible Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Convertible Notes or Note Documents), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Collateral Agent, and in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent under Section 9 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent under Section 9 hereof 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 Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Convertible Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

(i) Application of Monies Collected by the Collateral Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Collateral Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI with respect to the Convertible Notes, it shall apply the money or property in the following order (or in such other order as the Collateral Agent determines) at the dates fixed by the Collateral Agent for distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Convertible Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First: to the Collateral Agent, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 9 and 13 hereof and under the other Note Documents, including payment of all compensation, expenses, fees, indemnification and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: in case the principal of the outstanding Convertible Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Convertible Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Collateral Agent) payable upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Convertible Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Holders based on the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes held thereby;

Third: in case the principal of the outstanding Convertible Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Applicable Redemption Amount (including any Make-Whole Amounts) and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Convertible Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Collateral Agent, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Convertible Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Convertible Notes, then to the payment of such Applicable Redemption Amount (including any Make-Whole Amounts) (including, if applicable, any Make-Whole Amount and any cash due upon conversion), ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, any Make-Whole Amount and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth: to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Holders of Convertible Notes and other Secured Parties, in an amount necessary to pay any additional Obligation (or Guaranteed Obligation) then due and payable; and

Fifth: the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, to the Issuer or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

6.3 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The Collateral Agent and Secured Parties’ failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Issuer or the Guarantors of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of the Secured Parties thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The Collateral Agent and Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are cumulative. The Collateral Agent and Secured Parties have all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, by Law, or in equity. The Collateral Agent and Secured Parties’ exercise of one (1) right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at Law or in equity, and the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties’ waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. The Collateral Agent or Secured Parties’ delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

Section 7. Guaranty.

7.1 Unconditional Guaranty.

(a) In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Convertible Notes by the Purchasers, the Merger Sub and, effective as of the consummation of the Merger, each other Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to the Purchasers and each other Secured Party, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment in full of (i) the principal of and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Convertible Notes and the other Note Documents when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise including any Make-Whole Amounts and other fees, amounts, and premiums) and (ii) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or any other Note Document or other instrument referred to herein or therein (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (all such obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guaranty in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Issuer or any other guarantor of the Note Documents (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the Holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Convertible Notes and this Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each Guarantor agrees that the Convertible Notes issued in connection with this Agreement may (but need not) make reference to the guaranty provided in this Section 7.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each Holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable documented attorneys’ fees) which such Holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) any breach by such Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Issuer of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, the Convertible Notes, this Agreement, or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein, together with all expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default, (ii) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity or enforceability of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein and (iii) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Section 7.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other person(s) who may guarantee the Obligations under and in respect of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and that payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid.

7.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement, or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such Guarantor may have against the Issuer, any Holder or the Collateral Agent or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof) (subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.3), including, without limitation: (i) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein (it being agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any such other Note Document or instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Convertible Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein; (iii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or any Guarantor or the property of the Issuer or any Guarantor; (iv) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Issuer to any person; (v) any failure on the part of the Issuer for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (vi) any failure on the part of any Holder or the Collateral Agent to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (vii) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have. Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder in the agreed currency and at the agreed place of payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Issuer, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Issuer or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Issuer is joined in any such action or actions.

7.4 Waiver.

(a) Generally. Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document or instrument referred to herein or therein, and of any of the matters referred to in this Section 7, (ii) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any Holder or the Collateral Agent against such Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer or any Guarantor with respect to any Note or any Note Document, notice to the Issuer or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy, of the Issuer, (iii) any right to require any Holder or the Collateral Agent to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or in the other Note Documents, (iv) any requirement for diligence on the part of any Holder or the Collateral Agent, (v) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which Issuer may allege or assert against any Collateral Agent, Purchasers or other Holder or Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (vi) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Real Property. Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that it may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Holders and the Collateral Agent may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the Issuer or any other Guarantor; and (ii) if the Holders and/or the Collateral Agent foreclose on any real property Collateral pledged by the Issuer or any Guarantor: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the Holders and the Collateral Agent may collect from the other Guarantors even if the Holders and the Collateral Agent, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have destroyed any right the Guarantors may have to collect from the Issuer or any other Guarantor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantors may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. In the event that all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time are secured by any one (1) or more deeds of trust, security deeds or mortgages creating or granting Liens on any interests in Real Estate Assets, each of the Guarantors authorizes the Holders and the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at their sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Obligations, the enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of Holders and the Collateral Agent on any Collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust, security deeds or mortgages by judicial or nonjudicial sale. Insofar as the Liens created by the Collateral Documents or other documents or instruments referred to herein or therein secure the Guaranteed Obligations of other Persons, each of the Guarantors expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Guaranty or the other Note Documents or any Liens created or granted hereby or by the other Note Documents, or other documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or to the recovery by the Holders and the Collateral Agent against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of such Guarantor and may preclude any of them from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from any other Person.

7.5 Obligations Unimpaired.

(a) Generally. Each Guarantor authorizes the Holders and the Collateral Agent, without notice or demand to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time: (i) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of this Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or any other instrument referred to herein or therein; (ii) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to this Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or any other instrument referred to herein or therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest or any other obligation; (iii) to take and hold security for the payment of the Convertible Notes, this Agreement or any Note Document or other document or instrument referred to herein or therein, for the performance of the guaranty provided in this Section 7 or otherwise for the Guaranteed Obligations and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (iv) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Holders in their sole discretion may determine; (v) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person; (vii) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder; and (viii) enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Issuer and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default. The Holders and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Issuer, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the Holders or the Collateral Agent.

(b) Acceleration. If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Convertible Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any Holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy, or insolvency law, such Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the Holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Israeli Guarantee Law. It is expressly agreed that the Israeli Guarantee Law, 1967 (the “Israeli Guarantee Law”) shall not apply to this Agreement or to any other Note Document and that should the Israeli Guarantee Law for any reason be deemed to apply to this Agreement or to any Note Document, or to it in connection thereof, the Issuer and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights and defenses that may have been available to it under the Israeli Guarantee Law, provided that the forgoing shall not in any way affect or constitute a waiver of any rights or defenses available to Issuer or Guarantor under the terms of this Agreement or the laws of the State of New York after giving effect to the other provisions of this Section 7.

7.6 Subrogation and Subordination.

(a) Each Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Section 7, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, setoff, counterclaim, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Convertible Notes or this Section 7 unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) or at conversion.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Obligations of the Issuer or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause 7.1 of this Section 7, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) or at conversion. If the Required Holders (as defined in the Convertible Notes) so request, any such obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Section 7.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding Sections 7.1 and 7.3 of this Section 7, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders and shall be paid over to the Holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Section 7.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Section 7 (including this Section 7) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

7.7 Reinstatement of Guaranty. The guaranty provided in this Section 7 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any Holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Issuer or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

7.8 Term of Guaranty. The guaranty provided in this Section 7 and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of the Guarantors contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) or at conversion, and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 7.

7.9 Financial Condition of Issuer. Any credit extension (including a further purchase of additional Convertible Notes) may be made to Issuer or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Issuer at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Purchaser, Collateral Agent or other Holder shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Issuer. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Issuer on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Issuer and its ability to perform its obligations under the Note Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Issuer and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Purchaser, Collateral Agent or other Holder to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Issuer now known or hereafter known by any Purchaser, Collateral Agent or other Holder.

7.10 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of a majority of the Holders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Issuer or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder and under the Note Documents shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Issuer or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Issuer or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in Section 7.1 above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and the Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Issuer of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Collateral Agent and/or the Holders, or allow the claim of the Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Issuer, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent and/or any of the other Purchaser and Holder or other Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

To evidence its Note Guarantee, each Guarantor hereby agrees that the delivery of a counterpart signature or a Joinder Agreement to this Agreement and/or a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed by an officer of such Guarantor on each Convertible Note authenticated and delivered by the Collateral Agent (but the failure to execute such notation shall not affect the validity of any Note Guarantee). Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 7 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Convertible Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. If the officer whose signature is on this Agreement or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that, as described in the Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 29, 2020 available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuer’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Issuer, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Issuer has opened a separate Controlled Account for the proceeds of the issuance of Convertible Notes which is separate from the Trust Account and each Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account, in each case, as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 8 shall serve to limit or prohibit the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s right to pursue a claim against the Issuer for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (ii) shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Purchaser may have in the future against the Issuer’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or (iii) shall be deemed to limit a Purchaser’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of a Purchaser’s record or beneficial ownership of Common Stock acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9. Indemnity.

9.1 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Issuer agrees to pay promptly (i) all of the Collateral Agent’s and each Holder’s actual and reasonable costs and expenses of preparation of the Note Documents (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent’s and each Holder’s) and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (ii) all the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent and each Holder in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Note Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by the Issuer or any Guarantor; (iii) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including without limitation filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, translation fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent and each Holder and of counsel providing any opinions that the Collateral Agent and any Holder may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents; (iv) all of each Secured Party’s actual costs and reasonable fees, expenses for, and disbursements of any of each Secured Party, auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers whether internal or external, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and expenses and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred by each Secured Party; (v) all the actual costs and expenses (including the fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by each Secured Party and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; and (vi) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by the Collateral Agent and each Holder in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Issuer of any Guarantor hereunder or under the other Note Documents or document or instrument referred to herein or therein by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty or the Intercreditor Agreement) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the fees of counsel for the Collateral Agent and each Holder provided for in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section 9, such fees shall be limited to a single external lead counsel, a single special counsel acting in each relevant jurisdiction, a single special counsel for each relevant specialty and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict arises, the fees, costs, client charges and expenses of conflicts counsel.

9.2 Accuracy of Statements. In addition to Section 9.1 above, each of the Issuer and each Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by Law, Collateral Agent, each Holder, their, managers, directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls any one of them (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each Affiliate of the Collateral Agent or the Holders (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (the “Noteholder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable external attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of a Purchaser expressly for use therein.

9.3 General Indemnification. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall fully indemnify the Noteholder Indemnified Parties against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Persons arising out of this Agreement and the Note Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and/or any of the Note Documents against the Issuer and/or the Guarantors (including this Section 9) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by either of the Issuer or any other Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of such Persons’ powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

9.4 Right to Notice and Defense. Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim in such case, the indemnity shall include the fees and expenses of additional counsel and local counsel for each affected party. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

9.5 Survival of Indemnification. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, Affiliate or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Convertible Notes purchased pursuant to this Agreement and the corresponding Underlying Shares (if any).

9.6 Contribution In Lieu of Indemnification. If the indemnification provided under this Section 9 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Agreement. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 9 shall be individual, not joint and several.

Section 10. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect (other than the indemnification and expense reimbursement provisions which are expressly intended to survive the termination hereof), and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of all parties hereto to terminate this Agreement or (c) if, on the closing of the Transaction, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, or (d) by written notice from the Purchasers given any time on or after August 16, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination or common law intentional fraud in the making of any representation or warranty hereunder, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach or fraud. The Issuer shall notify Purchasers of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, except as set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 10, this Agreement other than Section 9, Section 12, Section 13, Section 14.6, Section 14.7, and all other provisions intended by their terms to survive such Termination Events shall be void and of no further effect and any portion of the Purchase Price paid by each Purchaser to the Issuer in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) following the Termination Event be returned to such Purchaser.

Section 11. Appointment of Collateral Agent; Collateral Documents; Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements.

11.1 Appointment of Collateral Agent. Each Holder (including each Purchaser party hereto) desires to designate a Person to act as their administrative agent, collateral agent, trustee and representative for and on their behalf with respect to all administrative agency and collateral matters and under the Note Documents. Accordingly, by the Purchasers’ execution of this Agreement and by each Holder’s acceptance of a Convertible Note, each Holder (including the Purchasers) hereby irrevocably designates, authorizes and appoints DBFIP ANI LLC (“DBFIP”) to act as its administrative agent, collateral agent, trustee and representative for and on its behalf with respect to all administrative and collateral matters and under Note Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and each Collateral Document and each other Note Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. Each Purchaser and each other Holder hereby grants to the Collateral Agent all such powers and authority as are necessary, desirable or appropriate to carry out the functions and duties delegated or assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder (including, without limitation, the authority to release Collateral from the Liens, security interests and encumbrances created under the Note Documents under the circumstances specifically provided therein).

(a) The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 11.1. The provisions of this Section 11.1 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and neither the Issuer nor any of the Holders or Guarantors or any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Collateral Documents and/or the other Note Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents and/or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, in the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, and in the other Note Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Issuer, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (if any) by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to seek and rely on advice of counsel and other advisors or advisory committees of any Secured Party concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel or such other advisors or advisory committees of any Secured Party. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.

(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document, Note Document or the Intercreditor Agreement (if any) or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Agreement, or any other Note Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any), or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts, advisory committees, and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability, loss and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (each as defined in the Convertible Notes), unless a responsible officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes or the Issuer referring to this Agreement or the Convertible Notes, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes.

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Holders, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 (and Section 9) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

(g) DBFIP shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any), neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents and other Note Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Closing, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Note Document and Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents, the Note Document and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any).

(i) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should a Holder obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Holder shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(j) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or any part of such Issuer’s or Guarantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, any Collateral Document, Note Document or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any) other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents and/or the Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(k) No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or any Collateral Document or any other Note Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any) or the Collateral Documents or Note Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action set forth in this paragraph (k) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(l) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any), the Collateral Documents and/or Note Documents or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(m) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(n) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Collateral Documents and/or the Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Note Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or any other Note Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and/or any other Note Document or Collateral Document of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Note Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and any other Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Note Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Note Documents.

(o) The parties hereto and the Holders by their acceptance of a Convertible Note hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Note Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and/or the other Note Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.

(p) The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder, any Collateral Document to be executed after the date of this Agreement. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Convertible Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(q) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Note Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Convertible Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Note Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Collateral Agent may but shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes.

(r) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself and the Holder distributed under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under any Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, for turnover to the Holders in accordance with the provisions hereof, of the applicable Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any), and of the other Note Documents.

(s) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Note Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Note Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(t) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Note Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, and the Collateral Agent makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(u) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, it may require an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holder solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.

(w) The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9 hereof and the expense reimbursement provisions of the Convertible Notes and the other Note Documents.

11.2 Authorization of Collateral Agent. By their acceptance of the Convertible Notes, the Holders thereof (including the Purchasers party hereto) hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and any other Collateral Documents or Note Document in which the Collateral Agent is named as a party, including any Collateral Documents executed after the Closing. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Collateral Agent is (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or any other Collateral Documents or Note Documents, the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Agreement and the Convertible Note (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

11.3 Limitations on Liability of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment or supplement to this Agreement or any Note Document authorized pursuant to this Agreement or the Convertible Note if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities, protections, privileges, indemnities or immunities of the Collateral Agent. In executing any amendment or supplement or Convertible Note, the Collateral Agent shall receive and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Convertible Notes.

The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral as defined in each of the Collateral Documents in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders and pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any). Each Holder (including the Purchasers), by accepting a Convertible Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Agreement and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any), and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents, the Note Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuer on its own behalf or on the behalf of the Guarantors shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 11.4, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents and the other Note Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Agreement and of the Convertible Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Note Parties shall take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto) required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Collateral Agent, the Purchasers, the Holders and any other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Note Documents, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral intended to be granted pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Collateral Documents), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders and the Collateral Agent subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens. In addition, in the event the Issuer or any Guarantor takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) in any assets, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent without request of the Collateral Agent.

11.5 Delegation of Duties. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, following an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct an agent acting on its behalf to take all actions it determines in order to: (a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and (b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement or the other Note Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Collateral Agent and/or the Holders in such Collateral. Nothing in this Section shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Collateral Agent.

11.6 Collateral Agent’s Receipt of Funds. Subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

11.7 No Impairment. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements (if any) and the Collateral Documents and Note Documents, neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders.

11.8 Unauthorized Payments to Holders. If, at any time or times any Holder shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Holders from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of such Holder’s pro rata share of all such distributions by the Collateral Agent, such Holder promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Holders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Guaranteed Obligations owed to the other Holders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Holders in accordance with their pro rata shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

11.9 Obligation to Pledge. If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any assets or property that are required to become Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, the Convertible Note, the Note Documents or the Collateral Documents or the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Documents or the Priority Lien Documents, or any Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor that is required to pledge its assets or property as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or the other Note Documents, the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Documents or the Priority Lien Documents, the Issuer or, as the context may require, such Guarantor shall promptly (and in any event within the time period(s) required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirements (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion)) execute a joinder to an existing Collateral Document or enter into a new Collateral Document (in each case, to the extent necessary to cause such Collateral be so pledged) and take such steps necessary to validly perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien (to the extent required by the Note Documents and/or as the context may require the Term Loan Documents). To the extent that the Issuer or a Guarantor is entering into a joinder, entering into a new Collateral Document, or taking other steps to perfect a Lien in order to secure the obligations evidenced by the Term Loan Documents, the Issuer and Guarantors shall take the same steps in connection with this Agreement (with such changes as are appropriate to reflect the applicable priority of the Lien, or the applicable perfection requirements, consistent with the terms of the Note Security Documents, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Liens being created on the Closing Date), which shall satisfy the Obligations hereunder, and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is authorized and directed to execute any documentation consistent therewith. The Issuer and each Guarantor shall execute such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further commercially reasonable further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements or amendments or continuation statements or equivalent in respect thereof), that may be required under any applicable Law, to ensure that the Liens of the Secured Parties under the Note Documents on the Collateral remain perfected (to the extent required by the Note Documents) with the priority required by the Note Documents and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, all at the expense of the Issuer and Guarantors and provide to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Note Documents. It being understood and agreed that the Issuer and Guarantors shall not be required to provide, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Holders shall request, any additional Liens in respect of the Excluded Assets.

12.6 Issuer as Agent for Notice for the Guarantors. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby appoints the Issuer as its agent for delivery and receipt of all notices required under this Agreement and any other Note Document. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the delivery by the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties to the Issuer of any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder or under any other Note Document shall constitute and be deemed to be delivery to the Issuer and all the Guarantors and (ii) delivery by Issuer of any notice required to be delivered hereunder or under any other Note Document shall constitute and shall be deemed to be delivered for and on behalf of the Issuer and all of the Guarantors, and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have actual notice of the delivery or receipt of and the contents of each such notice.

12.7 Obligor Agent 

(a) Each of the Guarantors by its execution of this Agreement or Joinder Agreement irrevocably appoints the Issuer to act on its behalf as the Obligor Agent (the “Obligor Agent”) in relation to the Note Documents and irrevocably authorizes:

(1) The Obligor Agent on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Secured Parties and to give all notices and instructions, to execute on its behalf a Joinder Agreement, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by each of the Issuer and the Guarantors notwithstanding that they may affect such Person, without further reference to or the consent of such Person; and

(2) Each Secured Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to the Obligor Agent pursuant to the Note Documents.

With respect to both Section 12.7(a)(1) and (2), the Issuer and each Guarantor shall be bound as though such Person itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligor Agent or given to the Obligor Agent under any Note Document on behalf of any of the Issuer or the Guarantors or in connection with any Note Document (whether or not known to any other Guarantor or the Issuer and whether occurring before or after such other Person became a Guarantor under any Note Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Person as if that Person had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligor Agent and any other Guarantor or the Issuer, those of the Obligor Agent shall prevail.

Section 13. Taxes.

13.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments and deliveries made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including, in each case, any successor entity) under or with respect to the Convertible Notes or any other Note Document shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Issuer, any Guarantor, or any other applicable withholding agent), then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall 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 to the Holder shall be increased by such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that after making such deduction or withholding (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to the Additional Amounts), the beneficial owner of the Convertible Notes receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Governmental Authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall furnish to the Holder, as soon as practicable, after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, a copy of any return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

13.2 Payment of Other Taxes by Issuer and the Guarantors. In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall also pay and indemnify the Holder for any Other Taxes.

13.3 Additional Amounts. Whenever in this Agreement or the Convertible Notes there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Convertible Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Convertible Notes or any other Note Document, such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

13.4 Status of Holder.

(a) If a Holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document, such Holder shall deliver to the Issuer, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, such properly completed and executed documentation as prescribed by applicable Laws and reasonably requested by the Issuer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by the Issuer, such Holder shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Issuer as will enable the Issuer to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup 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 13.4(b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Holder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Holder or if such Holder is legally prohibited from completing, executing or submitting such documentation or cannot obtain, using best efforts and following a good faith effort to do so, any information requested by the Issuer.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1) Any Holder that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Issuer on or prior to the date on which such Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Holder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2) any Holder that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Holder”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Issuer (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Issuer) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Holder), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Holder 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 Note Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 Note Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 Holder 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 C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Holder is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Issuer or of Airspan within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” 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 or W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Holder is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Holder is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Holder are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Holder may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3) any Foreign Holder shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Issuer (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Issuer) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Holder), 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 Issuer to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4) if a payment made to a Holder under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Holder 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 Holder shall deliver to the Issuer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer 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 Issuer as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Holder has complied with such Holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

Each Holder 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 Issuer in writing of its legal inability to do so.

13.5 Tax Indemnification. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Holder, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13) payable or paid by such Holder or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Holder, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any recording and filing fees with respect thereto or resulting therefrom and any liabilities with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying such Indemnified Taxes), 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 Issuer or a Guarantor by the applicable Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Issuer and the Guarantors fail to timely pay to the appropriate Governmental Authority any Taxes payable under this Section 13, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Holder for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Holder as a result of any such failure. 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 by a Note Party pursuant to this Section 13.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.5), 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 13.5 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); provided, that the indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay such indemnified party the amount paid over to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13.5) (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 Section 13.5, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any Note Parties pursuant to this Section 13.5, 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 Section 13.5 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party 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.

13.6 VAT. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13 to the contrary:

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Note Document by the Issuer or any Guarantor to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Holder to the Issuer or any Guarantor under a Note Document and such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Issuer or applicable Guarantor must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Holder must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Issuer or applicable Guarantor).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “Specified Recipient”) under a Note Document, and the Issuer or any Guarantor other than the Specified Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Note Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Specified Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(1) (where the Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Specified Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Specified Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Specified Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(2) (where the Specified Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Specified Recipient, pay to the Specified Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Specified Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where a Note Document requires the Issuer or any Guarantor to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, the Issuer or applicable Guarantor shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Holder for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Section 13.6 to the Issuer or any Guarantor shall, at any time when such Person is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to the Issuer or any Guarantor under a Note Document, if reasonably requested by such Holder, the Issuer or applicable Guarantor must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that the Issuer or applicable Guarantor’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply

13.7 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Holder or beneficial owner of its Convertible Notes and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer (or any Guarantor) is incorporated, engaged in business, organized or resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made under or with respect to the Convertible Notes (or any Note Guarantee) by or on behalf of such Person and, in each case, any political subdivision thereof or therein.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

The Issuer acknowledges that the Purchasers will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Purchasers if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Issuer set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Purchasers if they are no longer accurate in any respect).

14.2 Disclosure of Agreement. Each of the Issuer, Airspan, the Collateral Agent and each of the Purchasers is irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

14.3 Registration; Exchange; Substitution of Convertible Notes.

(a) Registration of Convertible Notes. The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register with the names and address of the holders of the Convertible Notes. Such register will include the name and address of each holder of one or more Convertible Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Convertible Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Convertible Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof. The Issuer shall give to any holder of a Convertible Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request there for, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Convertible Notes.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Convertible Notes. Upon surrender of any Convertible Note to the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 12.1), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Convertible Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Convertible Note or part thereof), promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Convertible Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) of the same series (and of the same tranche if such series has separate tranches) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Convertible Note. Each such new Convertible Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of the Convertible Note of such Series originally issued hereunder or pursuant to any Supplement. Each such new Convertible Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Convertible Note or dated the date of the surrendered Convertible Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Convertible Notes. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Convertible Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 3.2, provided, that in lieu thereof such holder may (in reliance upon information provided by the Issuer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a representation to the effect that the purchase by any holder of any Convertible Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406(a) of ERISA.

(c) Pledges Not Deemed Transfers. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Convertible Notes (and Underlying Shares) may be pledged by the Purchasers in connection with a bona fide credit facility, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Convertible Notes (and Underlying Shares) hereunder, and the Purchasers effecting a pledge of any Convertible Notes (or Underlying Shares) shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement. The Issuer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of any Convertible Notes (or Underlying Shares) may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of any Convertible Notes (or Underlying Shares) to such pledgee by the Purchasers.

14.4 Assignments. Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to a Holder hereunder (other than the Convertible Notes acquired hereunder and the corresponding Underlying Shares (if any) and such Holder’s rights under Section 5 hereof) may be transferred or assigned. Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Issuer hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer may transfer this Agreement and its rights hereunder solely in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and exclusively to another entity under the control of, or under common control with, the Issuer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of a Holder or by an Affiliate) or, with the Issuer’s prior written consent, to another Person, provided that (i) such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, and upon such assignment by a Holder, the assignee(s) shall become a Holder hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of each Holder provided for herein to the extent of such assignment and (ii) no such assignment shall relieve a Purchaser of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

14.5 Survival. All the agreements, representations and warranties, covenants, and other agreements and undertakings made by each party hereto in this Agreement (including the representations and warranties in Section 3, the guaranty in Section 7, the indemnification provisions in Section 9, the collateral agency provisions in Section 11, and the costs and expenses provisions of Section 14.21) shall survive the Closing.

For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transaction, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transaction and remain in full force and effect. All representations and warranties contained herein or in any Supplement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, such supplement hereto and the Convertible Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Holder of any such Convertible Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Convertible Note may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of any such Convertible Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Holder or any other holder of any such Convertible Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Issuer under this Agreement.

14.6 Affiliate Activities. The obligations of the Holders hereunder are several and no Holder shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors hereby expressly acknowledge that certain of the Collateral Agent, Holders and/or certain Affiliates of the Fortress Investment Group (collectively, “FIG”) are, or on or after the Closing Date may become, direct or indirect owners of warrants or of Equity Interests of the Issuer or the Guarantors. Notwithstanding any common ownership and/or control between FIG, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (i) the Issuer and each Guarantor acknowledge and agree that: (a) FIG, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, are separate and distinct legal entities and (b) the Holders and the Collateral Agent may exercise all the rights, privileges and benefits of the holder the Collateral Agent, or as the context may require, of any Convertible Note and enforce all remedies and other provisions hereunder and under any other Note Document without regard to the fact that FIG is an owner of warrants or of Equity Interests of a Notes Party; (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby waive and release any and all defenses, affirmative defenses, set-offs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind of nature that the Issuers and Guarantors may have against FIG or the Secured Parties relating to any Convertible Note, this Agreement or the other Note Documents, or the enforcement by FIG or the Holder or any other Secured Party of the rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder, arising by reason of the fact that FIG or any Holder or any other Secured Party is an owner of warrants or of other Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Guarantor and (y) the Issuer and each of the Guarantors waive any and all defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, claims counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature that the Issuer and any of the Guarantors may have against FIG arising by reason of the fact that FIG or any Holder or any other Secured Party holds warrants or other Equity Interests and is also acting in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and/or a Holder or other Secured Party hereunder; and (iii) the Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant and agree never to institute or cause to be instituted or continue prosecution of any suit or cause of action or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Secured Parties in contravention of the foregoing. Anything in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Holder hereby agrees with each other Holder that no Holder shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Convertible Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or Required Holders (as applicable), it being the intent of the Holders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Convertible Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Collateral Agents or Required Holders (as applicable).

14.7 No Fiduciary Duty. The Collateral Agent, each Secured Party, and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “FIG Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Issuer and the Guarantors, their other equityholders and/or their Affiliates. The Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that nothing in the Note Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any FIG Party, on the one hand, and the Issuer or such Guarantor, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Issuer and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the FIG Parties, on the one hand, and the Issuer and/or Guarantors, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no FIG Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, its equityholders, it subsidiaries or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any FIG Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Issuer or any Guarantor, its equityholders, subsidiaries or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Issuer or any Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Note Documents and (y) each FIG Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Issuer or any Guarantor on its own behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Issuer or each Guarantor agrees that neither it nor will any of its subsidiaries claim that the Collateral Agent or FIG Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuer or such Guarantor or any of their subsidiaries, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

14.8 Additional Information. The Issuer may request from the Holders such additional information as the Issuer may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of such Holders to acquire the Convertible Notes and to register the Underlying Shares (if any) for resale, and the Holders shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested; provided, that the Issuer agrees to keep any such information provided by a Holder confidential, except (i) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of a stock exchange, in which case of clause (i) or (ii), the Issuer shall provide the applicable Holders with prior written notice of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with the Holders regarding such disclosure. Each Holder acknowledges that subject to the conditions set forth in Section 14.18, the Issuer may file a copy of this Agreement with the Commission as an exhibit to a periodic report of the Issuer or a registration statement of the Issuer; provided that such copy shall not identify the Holders and, if applicable, its investment adviser by name (except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, exchange rules, the Commission or any other securities authorities or any rules and regulations promulgated thereby).

14.9 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that:

(a) prior to the Closing, no amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Issuer (other than amendments, modifications or waivers that (x) are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Agreement or (y) would not increase conditionality or impose any new obligation on Merger Sub or Airspan, reduce the principal amount of Convertible Notes hereunder or reduce or impair the rights of Merger Sub hereunder), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

(b) on and after the Closing, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Agreement, the Convertible Notes and the Note Documents without the consent of any Holder:

(1) to add guarantees or additional guarantors with respect to the Issuer’s obligations under this Agreement, the Convertible Notes or the other Note Documents;

(2) to allow any Guarantor to execute a Joinder Agreement or supplement to this Agreement to join as guarantor or enter into another guarantee in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to guarantee the obligations under the Note Documents (each, a “Note Guarantee”) or to release a Guarantor as provided in this Agreement;

(5) to add to the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s covenants for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or the Collateral Agent;

(6) to cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency or defect in this Agreement or in the Note Documents that does not adversely affect any Holder in any material respect;

(7) to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor Collateral Agent (to the extent that such successor is appointed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Note Documents);

(8) to make, complete, confirm or add any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement, the Convertible Note, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or any of the Note Documents or any release of Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and the Note Documents;

(9) to provide for the issuance of additional Convertible Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the Convertible Notes as of the date hereof;

(10) to provide for the succession of any parties to the Note Documents (and other amendments that are administrative or ministerial in nature) in connection with an amendment, renewal, extension, substitution, refinancing, restructuring, replacement, supplementing or other modification from time to time of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other agreement that is not prohibited by this Agreement or the Note Documents;

(11) to amend the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements or otherwise enter into a new intercreditor agreement in respect of any Term Loan Obligations

(12) in a manner permitted under the Convertible Notes to the extent permitted under the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and provided such amended or such new intercreditor agreement is not less favorable to the Secured Parties (taken as a whole) than the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements in effect as of the initial Closing

(13) to the extent required under the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, to conform any Note Documents to reflect permitted amendments or modifications to comparable provisions under any security documents in respect of obligations incurred pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Documents or any other Priority Lien Obligations; or

(14) to make any other change; provided that such change individually, or in the aggregate with all other such changes, does not, and will not, adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder in any material respect.

(c) on and after Closing, with the consent of the Required Holders, the Collateral Agent may amend the Convertible Notes for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Convertible Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Required Holders affected thereby:

(1) change: (i) the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Convertible Note; or (ii) the coin or currency in which the principal of or interest on any Convertible Note is payable;

(2) reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest rate thereon (except to reflect a reduction in principal amount as a result of a prepayment in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Convertible Notes);

Prompt written notice that any Convertible Note has been amended or interpreted in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.9 shall be given to each holder of a Convertible Note. The Issuer will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.9 to each holder of outstanding Convertible Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Convertible Notes.

The Issuer will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Convertible Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Convertible Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or any other Note Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Convertible Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 14.9 applies equally to all holders of Convertible Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Convertible Note and upon the Issuer without regard to whether such Convertible Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Issuer or any Guarantor and the holder of any Convertible Note nor any delay of any Holder or the Collateral Agent in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Convertible Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Convertible Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. Upon such amendment or interpretation, the Convertible Notes shall be deemed modified in accordance therewith, such amendment or interpretation shall form a part of the Convertible Notes for all purposes, and every subsequent holder of a Convertible Note shall be bound thereby.

14.10 [Reserved].

14.11 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein (including the next sentence hereof), this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. Except as set forth in Section 8, Section 14.1, Section 14.2, Section 14.4, Section 14.9 and this Section 14.11, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

14.12 [Reserved].

14.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement or any Note Document, whether express or implied, is intended to (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any Person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any Person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement. 

14.14 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

14.15 No Waivers or Election of Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

14.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.

The Issuer shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date of this Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other material, nonpublic information that the Issuer has provided to the Purchasers at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Issuer’s knowledge, the Purchasers shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer received from the Issuer or any of its officers, directors, or employees or agents, and each Purchaser shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Airspan, the Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Transaction, other than as expressly provided for in the Term Loan Credit Agreement with respect to Airspan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer (i) shall not publicly disclose the name of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or advisers in any press release, without the prior written consent of Purchaser and (ii) shall not publicly disclose the name of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or advisers in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except as required by the federal securities law, regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NYSE American, as applicable.

14.21 [Reserved].

14.22 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Issuer and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one (1) place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

14.23 Corporate Seal. The Issuer represents that neither it nor any Guarantor is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Note Document pursuant to any applicable Law.

All certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given or delivered by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document shall be in English or, if not in English, accompanied by a certified English translation thereof. The English version of any such document shall control the meaning of the matters set forth herein.

14.27 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

14.28 Interpretation Provisions. With reference to this Agreement and each other Note Document, unless otherwise specified herein or in such other Note Document:

(a) Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document (including any Organization Document) shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or in any other Note Document); (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns; (c) the words “hereto”, “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import when used in any Note Document, shall be construed to refer to such Note Document in its entirety and not to any particular provision thereof, (d) all references in a Note Document to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, the Note Document in which such references appear, and any conflict between any of the provisions of such Exhibits and Schedules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail; (e) any reference to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing or interpreting such Law and any reference to any Law or regulation shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such Law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time; (f) in the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”; and the word “through” means “to and including”. Section headings herein and in the other Note Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Note Document and (g) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible, real and personal, assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

(b) Accounting Terms.

(1) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(c)(2), references to the prior periods for financial statements and other items contained in the audited financial statements described in clause (x) of the definition of Audited Financial Statements for such initial periods after the Closing Date shall mean references to the comparative data and the prior comparative periods for Airspan and its Subsidiaries until such time as comparable financial statements and information for the Issuer and its Subsidiaries are available for the purposes of providing comparative data and information for use in such comparisons. 

(2) Accounting Changes. If at any time any change in GAAP or IFRS, as applicable (an “Accounting Change”), would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Note Document, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the Issuer and Guarantors shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such Accounting Change; provided that, until so amended (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, prior to such change therein and (ii) Airspan, or as the context may require, the Issuer shall provide to the Collateral Agent and each Holder financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such Accounting Change. The Issuer, the Guarantors, and the Holder agree that notwithstanding any Accounting Change after the Closing Date, any lease that is or would be treated as an operating lease on the Closing Date shall continue to be treated as an operating lease and shall not constitute Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement regardless of whether or not such operating lease would be required to be reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of the lessee as a result of such Accounting Change.

(c) Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Issuer and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one (1) place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

(d) Divisions.
