iii.Borrower may elect, by prior written notice to Agent either: (a) prior to an Advance Date, or (b) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of a month, to reduce the then effective per annum Term Loan Cash Interest Rate applicable to the Term Loan Advances, by up to one percent (1.00%) per annum (the amount by which the Term Loan Cash Interest Rate is reduced, the “Cash Interest Reduction Amount”) for a period beginning on the first day of the next month (such date pursuant to clause (a) or (b), as applicable, the “PIK Deferral Period Start Date”) and ending on, at the Borrower’s election, the last day of the third month or any subsequent month thereafter (the period from the PIK Deferral Period Start Date to such day, the “PIK Deferral Period”); provided that after the expiration of any PIK Deferral Period, the reduction to the Term Loan Cash Interest Rate by an amount equal to the Cash Interest Reduction Amount and Term Loan PIK Interest shall cease to apply.
iv.Payment. Borrower will pay accrued but unpaid interest on each Term Loan Advance on the first Business Day of each calendar month (each such date, a “Payment Date”), beginning with May 1, 2025. The entire principal balance of the Term Loan Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall, subject to Addendum 1, make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Agent or Lenders will at least 10 days prior to any Payment Date (i) provide a written notice of amounts due on each Payment Date of all periodic obligations payable to Lenders under each Term Loan Advance outstanding (unless Borrower authorized debit by ACH Authorization) and (ii) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and costs incurred by Agent or Lenders in connection with Section 11.13; provided that with respect to clause (ii) above, Borrower shall pay to such Lender

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
such amount in full in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days of the date of such invoice.
2.3.Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of New York shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lenders’ accrued interest, reasonable costs and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.
2.4.Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, at Agent’s election, an amount equal to four percent (4%) of such past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all outstanding Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d) plus four percent (4%) per annum. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d) or 2.4, as applicable.
2.5.Minimum interest payment.
a.The interest rates provided for in this Agreement, including under Section 2.2(d) (Interest) are minimum interest rates.
b.By entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed in good faith that the interest payable hereunder is not and will not become subject to any deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax. Nevertheless, if a deduction is required by Swiss law to be made in respect of any interest payable by a Swiss Loan Party under this Agreement and should it be unlawful to comply with Section 2 and Section 4 of Addendum 1 (Payments Free of Taxes and Indemnification by Borrower) for any reason (where this could otherwise be required by the terms of such Section 2 and Section 4 of Addendum 1 (Payments Free of Taxes and Indemnification by Borrower)) and taking into account the exceptions in Section 2 and Section 4 of Addendum 1 (Payments Free of Taxes and Indemnification by Borrower):
i.the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be
A.the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment (as provided for in Section 2.2(d) (Interest) in the absence of this clause (b) divided by:
B.1 minus the rate at which the relevant Swiss Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant Swiss Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1 rather than as a percentage), and

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
ii.the relevant Swiss Loan Party shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with clause (i) above; and
iii.all references to a rate of interest in Section 2.2(d) (Interest) shall be construed accordingly.
c.To the extent that any amount payable by a Swiss Loan Party under any Loan Document becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant Lender and each relevant Swiss Loan Party shall cooperate by completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents requested by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary (i) for the relevant Swiss Loan Party to obtain authorization to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax (or, as the case may be, at a treaty rate lower than the domestic tax rate) and (ii) to ensure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund under any relevant provision of applicable double taxation treaty is so refunded.
d.The relevant Swiss Loan Party shall provide the Lenders with all documents and information required for applying for a refund of such Swiss Withholding Tax. In the event Swiss Withholding Tax is refunded to a Lender by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, the relevant Lender shall forward, after deduction of costs, such amount to the relevant Swiss Loan Party. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall interfere with each Lender's right to arrange its tax affairs in whichever way it sees fit and, without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall be under any obligation to claim any Swiss Withholding Tax refund in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it.
2.6.Prepayment. At its option upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay all the outstanding Term Loan Advances by paying the entire principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Lenders’ fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses due hereunder accrued to the date of the repayment (including, without limitation, the End of Term Charge when due in accordance with Section 2.7(b)), together with a Prepayment Charge with respect to the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan Advance amount being so prepaid. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances. Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and, subject to the next sentence, the Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or any other prepayment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders agree the Prepayment Charge shall be waived if Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (in their sole and absolute discretion) agree in writing to refinance the Term Loan Advance prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date or a Change in Control of Parent arising from a merger or acquisition of Parent. Any amounts paid under this Section shall be applied by Agent to the then unpaid amount of any outstanding Secured Obligations (including principal and interest) in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion.
2.7. End of Term Charge.
a.[Reserved].
b.On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Payment in Full occurs by prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6, or (iii) the date that

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
the outstanding Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lenders a charge equal to the End of Term Charge.
c.Notwithstanding the required payment date of such End of Term Charge, the applicable pro rata portion of the End of Term Charge shall be deemed earned by Lenders as of each date that an applicable Term Loan Advance is made.
2.8.Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Term Loan Advances shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lender.
2.9.Taxes; Increased Costs. Borrower, Agent and Lenders each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 1 attached hereto.
2.10.Treatment of Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge. Borrower agrees that any Prepayment Charge and any End of Term Charge payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of early termination, and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing and existing as of the Closing Date. The Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means. Each Loan Party expressly waives (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) the provisions of any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge in connection with any such acceleration. Borrower agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so): (a) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge as a charge (and not interest) in the event of prepayment or acceleration; and (d) Borrower shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section. Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge to Lenders as herein described was on the Closing Date and continues to be a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Term Loan Advances.
SECTION 3.SECURITY INTEREST
3.1.Grant of Security Interest. Except to the extent otherwise provided hereunder, as security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, each Loan Party grants to Agent a security interest in all of such Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of such Loan Party’s personal property and other assets including without limitation the following (except as set forth herein) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Assets, the “Collateral”): (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and all other tangible and intangible personal property of such Loan Party whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, any Loan Party and wherever located, and any of such Loan Party’s property in the possession or under the control of Agent; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.

3.2.Notwithstanding the broad grant of the security interest set forth in Section 3.1, above, the Collateral shall not include (a) (i) any “intent to use” Trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise, provided, that upon submission and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of an amendment to allege use of an intent-to-use Trademark application pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision) such intent-to-use application shall constitute Collateral, and (ii) any Trademarks that have been or are being applied for registration by a Loan Party with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or a corresponding foreign office or agency through Kellerhals Carrard, as fiduciary of such Loan Party, to protect the confidentiality of such Trademarks as potential brand names only to the extent that such Trademarks are not in use in commerce by a Loan Party, provided, that upon the selection of the final brand names and the transfer by Kellerhals Carrard to such Loan Party of the ownership of the applications for registration and, if applicable based on status, the registrations for such Trademarks, such applications and registrations shall constitute Collateral, (b) licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9406, 9407 and 9408 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction and the Bankruptcy Code or under principles of equity (except where the terms of such license or contract would otherwise permit the grant of a Lien thereon upon obtaining the consent of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates), (c) any interest of any Loan Party as a lessee under an equipment lease if such Loan Party is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by any Loan Party, Agent or any Lender, (d) any Excluded Account, (e) any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) that does not exceed $1,000,000, (f) any property or asset to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as such Requirement of Law is not effective or applicable, or such prohibition, breach, default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences, (g) any assets owned by an Excluded Subsidiary, (h) fee interests in real property with a value less than $1,000,000 or real property located in the Cayman Islands, (i) motor vehicles, aircraft, aircraft engines and other assets subject to certificates of title to the extent perfection of the security interest in such assets cannot be accomplished by the filing of a UCC financing statement (or equivalent forms in jurisdictions outside of the United States), (j) letter-of-credit rights not constituting supporting obligations of other Collateral and (k) those assets as to which the Agent determines in writing that (x) the cost of obtaining a Lien or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby, or (y) would result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries (clauses (a) through (k), collectively, “Excluded Assets”).
3.3.Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no perfection steps shall be required with respect to any Excluded Assets.

3.4.Upon Payment in Full, all security interests in the Collateral granted under the Loan Documents shall immediately terminate and all rights on the Collateral shall automatically revert to each Loan Party without the need for any other action by any Person. Upon any Transfer of any assets not prohibited by this Agreement, or if any Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, to the extent that, after giving effect to such Transfer, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Secured Obligations, all security interests in such assets or the assets and Guarantees of such Excluded Subsidiary shall immediately terminate without the need for any other action by any Person. Agent shall promptly on request and at Borrower’s expense execute such documents and take such other steps as are reasonably necessary for the Loan Parties to evidence such termination, all at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.
3.5.Notwithstanding the grant of security interest set forth in Section 3.1, with respect to assets or Collateral of any Swiss Loan Party or assets or Collateral subject to Swiss law, the foregoing grant of security interest shall not apply to such assets or Collateral, and the terms of such Swiss Security Documents shall govern and control with respect to such security interest and related provisions governing the applicable Swiss Loan Party's obligations with respect to such Collateral or assets.

SECTION 6.INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION
6.1.Coverage. Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained a multinational general and product liability program as maintained on the Closing Date which program shall include coverage for property damage covering Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Borrower must maintain a minimum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) for each occurrence under the multinational general and product liability program. Borrower maintains and shall continue to maintain a minimum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) of directors’ and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate. So long as Payment in Full shall not have been satisfied, Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the business and assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as may be required by applicable law, to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities, as is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated, as determined by Borrower in good faith. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.1 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Agent may obtain such insurance or make payment of any premium due and payable and unpaid by the Borrower, and all amounts so paid by Agent shall be due and payable promptly upon written demand for reimbursement thereof, bearing interest at the rate then applicable to the Secured Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.
6.2.Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Agent certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2, provided that Borrower shall not be required to deliver certificates of insurance for directors’ and officers’ insurance. To the extent customary in the applicable jurisdiction, Borrower’s insurance

Attached to such certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for general and product liability insurance to the extent customary in the applicable jurisdiction. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that all certificates of insurance required to be delivered hereunder will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Agent of cancellation (other than cancellation for non-payment of premiums, for which ten (10) days’ advance written notice shall be sufficient) or any other change adverse to Agent’s interests. Any failure of Agent to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Agent’s rights, all of which are reserved. Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of each insurance policy, and upon entering into or amending any insurance policy (other than clinical trial insurance policies) required to be pledged pursuant to the Swiss Receivables Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall provide copies of any new or renewed or amended policies, to the extent required to comply with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1, in accordance with Section 7.1(k).
6.3.Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Agent, Lenders and their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and shareholders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort), including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal) (collectively, “Liabilities”), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding in all cases Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities arise solely out of gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person or changes in income tax rates. This Section 6.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. In no event shall any Indemnified Person be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). This Section 6.3 shall survive the repayment of indebtedness under, and otherwise shall survive the expiration or other termination of, this Agreement, in each case, subject to the applicable statute of limitations.

SECTION 10 REMEDIES
10.1.General. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the outstanding Secured Obligations together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.5, all of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge) shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (a) exercisable following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (ii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any account debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Agent’s or Borrower’s name, as Agent may elect); (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the UCC or applicable law permits; and (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; and (b) (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; and (ii) notify all account debtors to pay Agent directly. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, effective as of the occurrence of an Event of Default, to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral if an Event of Default has occurred until Payment in Full. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until Payment in Full. Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
10.2.Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Agent may elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower. Agent may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent that is reasonably convenient to Agent and Borrower. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Agent in the following order of priorities:

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
First, to Agent, in an amount equal to the sum of all fees owing to Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document;
Second, to Agent and Lenders in an amount sufficient to pay in full Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable documented out of pocket costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 11.13;
Third, to Lenders, ratably, in an amount equal to the sum of all accrued interest owing to Lenders on the Term Loan Advances hereunder;
Fourth, to Lenders, ratably, in an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and premium, if any owing to Lenders from Borrower on the Term Loan Advances hereunder;
Fifth, to Lenders and Agent, ratably (in proportion to all remaining Secured Obligations owing to each), in an amount equal to the sum of all other outstanding and unpaid Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the default rate interest set forth in Section 2.4, if required under this Agreement), in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion; and
Finally, after Payment in Full, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Agent shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.
In case of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 10.2 and the Swiss Security Documents, the provisions of the Swiss Security Documents shall prevail.
10.3.No Waiver. Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person, and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to require Agent to marshal any Collateral.
10.4.Waivers. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.
10.5.Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Agent.
SECTION 11 MISCELLANEOUS
11.1.Swiss limitations. If and to the extent a Swiss Loan Party becomes liable under the Loan Documents for an obligations of any Affiliate (other than obligations of any of that Swiss Loan Party's Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) and if complying with such obligations would be restricted under then applicable Swiss corporate law (the “Restricted Obligations”), the fulfilment of any obligation of a Swiss Loan Party shall be limited to the maximum amount permitted by law at the time of fulfilment or enforcement (as the case may be) (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Amount” and the corresponding restriction, the “Limitation”). The Limitation shall not release any Swiss Loan Party from the fulfilment of

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
its obligations or the application of enforcement proceeds in excess of the Maximum Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such time as it is again permitted notwithstanding the Limitation. A Swiss Loan Party shall take all action and cause all action to be taken to enable the fulfilment of its obligations or the application of enforcement proceeds as soon as possible and in an amount as large as possible notwithstanding the Limitation. In particular, to the extent permitted by law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Agent, each Swiss Loan Party shall (a) write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of a sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Loan Party's business (nicht betriebsnotwendig); (b) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law; (c) to the extent that the fulfilment of any obligation or the application of proceeds from the enforcement to satisfy Restricted Obligations are subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, the Swiss Loan Party (i) shall: (A) use its best efforts to procure that the fulfilment of such obligation or the application of such enforcement proceeds can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax by discharging the liability of such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law rather than payment of the tax, (B) if the notification procedure pursuant to clause (i)(A) above does not apply, deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at such rate as in force from time to time or as provided by any relevant provision of applicable double tax treaties, from the respective amount to be paid and promptly pay any such Swiss Withholding Tax deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; (C) and provide the Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such Swiss Withholding Tax deducted has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, (ii) shall use its best efforts to procure that any person who is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted pursuant to this clause (ii)(c): (A) request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law as soon as possible; and (B) pay to the Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded to cover any outstanding part of the Restricted Obligation; (C) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, shall not be required to gross up, indemnify or hold harmless any Loan Party for the deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax in an amount exceeding the Maximum Amount, provided that this should not in any way limit any obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents to indemnify the Lenders in respect of the deduction of the Swiss Withholding Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that a Swiss Loan Party, including MoonLake AG, becomes liable under the Loan Documents for the obligations of any of that Swiss Loan Party's Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, the Limitation under this Section 11.1 does not apply.
11.2.Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.3.Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication (including the delivery of Financial Statements) that is required, contemplated, or permitted under the Loan Documents or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the day of transmission by electronic mail or hand delivery or delivery by an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third calendar day after deposit in the United States of America mails, with proper first class postage prepaid, in each case addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

11.1.Entire Agreement; Amendments.
a.This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Agent’s revised proposal letter dated February 5, 2025 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement).

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
b.Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.4(b). The Required Lenders and Loan Parties party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Agent and Loan Parties party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lenders or of Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest (or fee payable hereunder) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.4(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by Loan Parties of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.19 or Addendum 4 without the written consent of Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon the applicable Loan Parties, Lenders, Agent and all future holders of the Loans.
11.2.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.
11.3.No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and Lenders by this Agreement are solely to protect their rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Lenders to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or Lenders at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to them, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or Lenders are entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or Lenders to enforce such provisions thereafter.
11.4.Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Sections 6.3, 11.9, 11.11, 11.14, 11.15, 11.17 and 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
11.5.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each Loan Party and its permitted assigns (if any). No Loan Party shall assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer, or endorse (including for the avoidance of doubt, by way of a true sale transaction) its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and Lenders’ successors and assigns; provided that such assignment, transfer or endorsement occurs to a Qualifying Bank or a Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank Lender; and provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower (whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company) or a distressed debt or vulture fund (in each case, as reasonably determined by Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer, assignment or endorsement of rights to an Affiliate of any Lender or Agent shall be allowed, provided that such Affiliate is a Qualifying Bank or a Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank Lender. The prior written consent of the Swiss Loan Parties is only required if as a result of such transfer, assignment or endorsement, there would be more than ten Lenders under this Agreement which are not Qualifying Banks. Such consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Swiss Loan Parties may withhold their consent only if such assignment, transfer or endorsement would result in a violation of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules or if the assignee is, neither a Qualifying Bank nor a Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank Lender. The Swiss Loan Parties will be deemed to have given their consent ten (10) Business Days after the Agent has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Swiss Loan Parties within that time. The Lenders shall provide the Agent with prior written notice of any such assignment, transfer or endorsement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in connection with any assignment by a Lender as a result of a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency, the restrictions set forth herein, other than the consent requirement in case of a transfer, assignment or endorsement of rights to a Lender that is not a Qualifying Bank or Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank Lender, shall not apply and Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party and (y) in connection with a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions, the restrictions set forth herein, other than the consent requirement in case of a transfer, assignment or endorsement of rights to a Lender that is not a Qualifying Bank or Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank Lender, shall not apply and Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party providing such financing or formed to undertake such securitization transaction and any transferee of such Person or party; provided that no such sale, transfer, pledge or assignment under this clause (y) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Person or party for such Lender as a party hereto until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement from such Person or party in form satisfactory to Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as Agent reasonably shall require. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender(s), and the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lender(s) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
11.6.Sub-Participations. Subject to Section 11.8 above and except for assignment, transfer or endorsement (including for the avoidance of doubt, by way of a true sale transaction) to a participant that

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
complies with the provisions of Section 11.8 relating to assignment, transfer or endorsement to a participant that is not a Qualifying Bank, no Lender shall enter into any arrangement with another person that is not a Qualifying Bank under which such Lender substantially transfers its exposure under this Agreement to that other person, unless under such arrangement throughout the life of such arrangement: (i) the relationship between the Lender and that other person is that of a debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Lender); (ii) the other person will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Lender under or in relation to this Agreement; and (iii) the other person will under no circumstances (other than permitted assignments, transfers or endorsements under Section 11.8 above) (x) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Lender's claims under this Agreement and (y) have otherwise any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Swiss Loan Parties under or in relation to this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except (i) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (ii) upon inquiry by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration claiming that a Lender qualifies as more than one creditor for the purposes of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Addendum 1 attached hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Addendum 1 attached hereto, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, (B) each Lender agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Addendum 1 with respect to its participant(s), (C) no such participation shall release any Lender from any of its obligations under any Loan Document and (D) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no participant may be a direct competitor (whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company) of Borrower (as reasonably determined by Agent).
11.7.Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except the Swiss Security Documents) have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and Lenders in the State of New York, and shall have been accepted by Agent and Lenders in the State of New York. Payment to Agent and Lenders by any Loan Party of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of New York. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except the Swiss Security Documents) shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
11.8.Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.12 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
any of the other Loan Documents (except the Swiss Security Documents) may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.3, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.3. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
11.9.[Reserved].
11.10.Professional Fees. Borrower promises to pay Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable, documented out of pocket fees and expenses necessary to finalize the Loan Documents, including but not limited to reasonable documented out of pocket attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other related expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable documented out of pocket attorneys’ and other reasonable documented out of pocket professionals’ fees (excluding costs of in-house counsel) and reasonable documented out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lenders in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
11.11.Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders acknowledge that items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lenders by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of the Loan Parties (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Agent and Lenders agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain in connection with the Loan Documents or in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agent’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Agent and Lenders may disclose any such information: (a) to its Affiliates and its partners, investors, lenders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, counsel, accountants, representatives and other professional advisors if Agent or Lenders in their sole discretion determine that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Section or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information and in any case are no less restrictive than this Section; (b) if such information is generally available to the public or to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or becomes available to Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party; (c) if required or appropriate in any

report, statement or testimony required by law or order of any Governmental Authority to be submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lenders and any rating agency; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or Lenders’ counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or Lenders or demanded by any Governmental Authority; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of, or preparing to exercise, or the enforcement of, or preparing to enforce, any right or remedy under any Loan Document (including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of and Event of a Default), or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document; (g) to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lenders or any bona fide prospective participant or assignee, provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee is subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information which are no are no less restrictive than this Section 11.14; (h)to any investor or bona fide potential investor (and each of their respective Affiliates or clients) in Agent or Lenders (or each of their respective Affiliates); provided that such investor, potential investor, Affiliate or client is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to the Confidential Information which are no are no less restrictive than this Section 11.14; (i) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify any Loan Party; or (j) otherwise with the prior written consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Section 11.14 shall supersede all of their respective obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
11.1.Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lenders may, subject to Section 11.8, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lenders shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lenders shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lenders agree that in the event of any transfer by it of the promissory note(s) (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the promissory note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
11.2.Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lenders. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lenders or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or Lenders in Cash.

SECTION 12 GUARANTY.
12.1.Guaranty. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that such Loan Party is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Secured Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
a.the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Loan Party is or may become a party;
b.the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;
c.the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);
d.the insolvency of any Loan Party; or
e.any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
Each Loan Party shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Secured Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 12 shall be automatically terminated and discharged upon the occurrence of Payment in Full and, with respect to any individual Loan Party, shall be automatically terminated and discharged if such Loan Party becomes and Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary pursuant to a Transfer permitted hereunder.
12.2.Waivers by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or pursuant to any other laws or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Secured Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Loan Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Loan Party. It is agreed among each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
12.3.Benefit of Guaranty. Each Loan Party agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between the Borrower, on the one hand, and Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of such other Loan Party under the Loan Documents.
12.4.Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 11.7, each Loan Party hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to the prior payment in full, in cash, of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim is outstanding) any and all rights pursuant to any laws or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until Payment in Full has occurred. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Loan Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 12, and that Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.
12.5.Election of Remedies. If Agent or Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Loan Party or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Loan Party hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which each Loan Party might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party shall not impair any other Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Agent (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) or such Lender may offset the Secured Obligations against the purchase price of such bid in lieu of accepting cash or other non-cash consideration in connection with such sale or other disposition. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent, any Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair and reasonably equivalent value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
12.6.Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, the liability of each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) under this Section 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Loan Party is primarily liable under Section 2) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
a.the net amount of all Loans (plus all other Secured Obligations owing in connection therewith) advanced to any other Loan Party under this Agreement and

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party; and
b.the amount which could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such Loan Party under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Loan Party’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Loan Party under Section 12.6.
The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall be implemented automatically without the need for any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
12.1.Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Secured Obligations.
a.To the extent that any Loan Party shall make a payment under this Section 12 of all or any of the Secured Obligations (other than Loans made to that Loan Party for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party, exceeds the amount which such Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the aggregate Secured Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Loan Party’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Parties as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the occurrence of Payment in Full, such Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
b.As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Parties shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Loan Parties under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
c.This Section 12.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Loan Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 12.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Loan Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 12.1. Nothing contained in this Section 12.7 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party and accrued interest, fees, expenses and all other Secured Obligations with respect thereto for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable.

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
d.The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Party to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
e.The rights of the indemnifying Loan Parties against other Loan Parties under this Section 12.7 shall be exercisable upon and after Payment in Full.
12.2.Liability Cumulative. The liability of Loan Parties under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any Secured Obligations or obligation of any other Loan Party, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

2.Payments Free of Taxes.
a.Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and 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 by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2 or Section 4 of this Addendum 1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
b.A payment shall not be increased under Section 2 of this Addendum 1, no indemnification shall be owed by a Swiss Loan Party pursuant to Section 4 of this Addendum 1 and no increased payment shall be made pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Agreement if the relevant payment is made by a Swiss Loan Party and, for a deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax if:
i.on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax if that Lender has initially confirmed to be a Qualifying Bank or that it counts as one (1) creditor only for purposes of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Bank or has ceased to count as one (1) creditor only for purposes of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules (other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law, treaty or any published practice of any relevant taxing authority); or
ii.such deduction is a result of:
A.that Lender's non-compliance with its obligations under Section 11.8 of the Agreement;

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
B.such Lender becoming a Lender under this Agreement as a result of a non-compliance by the relevant assigning Lender with its obligations under Section 11.8 of the Agreement; or
C.that Lender incorrectly declaring its status as to whether or not it is a Qualifying Bank or whether or not it counts as one (1) creditor only for purposes of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules.
3.Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
4.Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, 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 Section 2 of this Addendum 1 or this Section 4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate describing the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to hold Agent and any Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Agent or such Lender) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or this Agreement.
5.Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9 of the Agreement relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to Lenders from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 5.
6.Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
7.Status of Lenders.

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
a.Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender 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 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Addendum 1) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
b.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
i.any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
ii.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
A.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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 Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”

8.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Addendum 1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8 (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 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 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 8 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.
9.Increased Costs. If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
10.Survival. Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Addendum 1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

ADDENDUM 4 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Agent and Lender Terms
a.Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Hercules Capital, Inc. to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, entering into any subordination or intercreditor agreement on terms and conditions satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion pursuant to this Agreement). Agent shall have only those duties which are specified in this Agreement and it may perform such duties by or through its agents, representatives or employees. In performing its duties on behalf of Lenders, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with loans made for its own account, but it shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of all or any of the Loan Documents, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents furnished or delivered in connection herewith or therewith by Agent to any Lender or by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent or any Lender, or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein, as to the use of the proceeds of the Term Loan Advances, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of any Taxes, assessments, charges or any other charges or liens of any nature whatsoever upon the Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except in the event Agent enters into possession of a part or all of the Collateral, in which event Agent shall preserve the part in its possession. Unless the officers of Agent acting in their capacity as officer of Agent on Borrower’s account have actual knowledge thereof or have been notified in writing thereof by Lenders, Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.
b.In relation to any Swiss Security Documents under which security of an accessory nature (akzessorische Sicherheit) is granted (the “Swiss Accessory Loan Documents”), each present and future Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to, with respect to such security of an accessory nature (akzessorische Sicherheit), take all action and exercise all powers and discretion in the name and for the account of such Lender as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter), including, without limitation, (i) to sign the relevant Swiss Accessory Loan Documents in its name, (ii) to accept, hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce the security granted under any of the Swiss Accessory Loan Documents, (iii) to agree to amendments, restatements and other alterations of the Swiss Accessory Loan Documents, (iv) to effect any release of the security under, and the termination of, any Swiss Accessory Loan Documents, and (v) to exercise such other rights, powers, authorities and discretions granted to Agent hereunder or under the relevant Swiss Accessory Loan Documents. In relation to any Swiss Security Documents under which security of a non-accessory nature (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) is granted, each present and future Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to, with respect to such security of a non-accessory nature (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit), take all action and

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
exercise all powers and discretion in the name of Agent but for the account of such Lender as its indirect representative (indirekter Stellvertreter).
c.Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on Agent to perform any act or to exercise any power in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on Agent to perform any act or exercise any right or power if such performance or exercise (a) would subject Agent to a Tax in a jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a Tax or (b) would require Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Lenders. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement unless and until it has obtained the written instructions of Lenders. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon Agent in its individual capacity. With respect to its participation in the Loan Agreement hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall unless the context clearly indicates otherwise include Agent in its individual capacity.
d.Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, or refraining to act, upon, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by Agent hereunder or under any Loan Documents in accordance therewith. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of Lenders unless Agent shall have been provided by Lenders with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
e.Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its respective Term Commitment percentages (based upon the total outstanding Term Commitments) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Addendum 4, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

f.To the extent not reimbursed either by Borrower or from the application of Collateral proceeds pursuant to Section 10.2, a Lender (the “Indemnified Lender”) shall be indemnified by the other Lenders (an “Indemnifying Lender”), on a several basis in proportion to each Lender’s pro rata portion of the Term Commitment, and each Indemnifying Lender agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Lender for the Indemnifying Lender’s pro rata share of the following items (an “Indemnified Payment”):
i.all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Indemnified Lender incurred by the Indemnified Lender in connection with the discharge of its activities under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees; provided, that the Indemnified Lender shall consult with the other Lender regarding the incurrence of such costs and expenses at reasonable intervals (but not more often than monthly) and any such reasonable costs and expenses shall be “Claims” hereunder notwithstanding any disagreement by the other Lender as to their incurrence; and
ii.from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted by the Indemnified Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Lender shall not be reimbursed or indemnified for an Indemnified Payment, except to the extent that the Indemnified Lender paid more than its ratable sha re of such payment. All Indemnified Payments as set forth in this clause (e) to an Indemnified Lender are intended to be paid ratably by the other Lender.
g.Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
h.Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not:
(i)be subject to any fiduciary, advisory or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Lenders, provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(iii)except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
i.In connection with any exercise of Enforcement Actions hereunder, neither any Agent nor any Lender or any of its partners, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to its duties under this Agreement.
j.Each Lender and Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. Each Lender and Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers and duties. No Lender or Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it, if the selection of such agents or attorneys-in-fact was done without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
k.Each Lender agrees that it will make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the making of Term Loan Advances pursuant to the Loan Agreement and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of all Lenders or to provide the other Lenders with any credit or other information with respect thereto whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or any time or times thereafter and shall further have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of the information provided to Lenders by Borrower.

Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Loan Party Representative or given to the Loan Party Representative under any Loan Document on behalf of any Additional Loan Party or in connection with any Loan Document shall be binding for all purposes on that Additional Loan Party as if that Additional Loan Party had expressly made, given or concurred with it.
(b)Waivers. Each Additional Loan Party hereby waives with respect to the Secured Obligations incurred by any other Loan Party: (i) any right to require Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, such other Loan Party or any other person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with Agent or any Indebtedness of Agent or any Lender to such other Loan Party, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy Agent or any Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any other person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding.

of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Loan Party), then and in any such event, each Additional Loan Party agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Loan Party, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Loan Party shall be and remain liable to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Additional Loan Party hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Loan Party, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Loan Party, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which such Additional Loan Party may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Loan Party or other person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Loan Party may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine until Payment in Full.
(c)Consents. Each Additional Loan Party hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Loan Party (except any notices expressly required by the Loan Documents) and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of such Loan Party hereunder, Agent may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Loan Party or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Secured Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Secured Obligations, or on which Agent at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Loan Parties or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of the Loan Parties; (v) apply any sums received in respect of the Secured Obligations from any other Loan Party, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to the Secured Obligations that are then due and payable. Each Loan Party consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties, or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. Each Loan Party further consents and agrees that Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.

fully aware of the financial condition of each other Loan Party and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Loan Party is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

Each Loan Party that is organized outside of the United States of America shall appoint CT Corporation System, or other agent acceptable to Agent, as its agent for the purpose of receiving service of any process in the United States of America, evidenced by a service of process letter in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (each, a “Process Letter”). Each Loan Party shall take all actions, including payment of fees to such agent, to ensure that each Process Letter remains effective at all times.
