Article III.REPAYMENT
Section 3.01 Amortization; Maturity Date.

Section 3.03 Increased Cost.
Section 3.04 Illegality. If Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender or its Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to the Loan, or any Governmental Entity has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any obligation of Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to the Loan or to make the Loans shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from Lender, prepay the Loan immediately.
Article IV.INTEREST; EXPENSES; MAKING OF PAYMENTS
Section 4.01 Interest Rate.
Section 4.02 Collection Account.
Section 4.03 Application of Payments. On each Interest Payment Date, the Included Royalty Interest shall be applied by payment in cash to Lender, at the Lender Account in the following order of priority:
Section 4.04 Interest on Late Payments. If any amount payable by Borrower to Lender hereunder is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on any such unpaid amounts, both before and after judgment during the period from and including the applicable due date, to but excluding the day the overdue amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Interest accruing under this Section 4.04 shall be payable on demand of Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Fixed Interest that is not paid in cash on the date due but that is added to the Principal Amount of the Loan as Accreted Principal in accordance with Section 3.01(c) shall accrue interest at the Fixed Interest from the date at which
it is incorporated as Accreted Principal and shall thereafter accrue interest at the Default Rate in the event that the Principal Amount of the Loan generally bears interest at the Default Rate.
Section 4.05 Inability to Determine Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining clause (b) of the definition of Three-Month Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (b) the CME (or any successor administrator reasonably satisfactory to Lender) has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which SOFR shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in Dollars, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is reasonably satisfactory to Lender that will continue to provide SOFR, or (c) Lender determines for any reason that the Three-Month Term SOFR for the relevant Calendar Quarter does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of funds to Lender (each a “SOFR Unavailability Event”), then (i) Lender will promptly so notify Borrower, and (ii) thereafter, (A) Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to replace Three-Month Term SOFR with an alternate benchmark rate, giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto, for Dollar-denominated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks, together with any proposed Conforming Changes, and (B) until such time as Borrower and Lender amend this Agreement as contemplated by the foregoing clause (A), clause (b) of the definition of Three-Month Term SOFR for the Calendar Quarter during which such SOFR Unavailability Event occurs will be a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as in effect on the date such SOFR Unavailability Event occurs and thereafter will be re-set on the first Business Day of each Calendar Quarter occurring thereafter.
Section 4.06 Administration and Enforcement Expenses. Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel to Lender) as a consequence of or in connection with any Default, Event of Default, Prepayment Trigger or mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
Section 4.07 Making of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Payment stated to be due hereunder or under any Note on a given day in a specified month shall be made or shall end (as the case may be), (i) if there is no such given day or corresponding day, on the last Business Day of such month or (ii) if such given day or corresponding day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 4.08 Setoff or Counterclaim. Each payment by Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.

Article V.TAXES
Section 5.01 Taxes.
Section 5.02 Receipt of Payment. Promptly after the date of any payment of Taxes by Borrower pursuant to this Article V, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 5.03 Other Taxes. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with Applicable Law any Other Taxes.
Section 5.04 Refunds. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Covered Taxes, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the amount of any such refund (including refunds of any related penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity and any additional interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity) calculated net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) (such net amount, a “Refund Amount”). If a Refund Amount is received, the outstanding Principal Amount at such time shall be reduced by any such Refund Amount. If Lender is required to repay any previously refunded amount to a Governmental Entity, any such payment along with the amount of any related interest, penalties, additions thereto and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will increase the outstanding Principal Amount at such time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04, in no event will any Refund Amount reduce the outstanding Principal Amount to the extent it would place Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than Lender would have been in if the Covered Taxes giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and added to the outstanding Principal Amount. This Section 5.04
shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

Section 5.06 Tax Treatment.
Section 5.07 Investment Units. Lender and Borrower agree that the Loan is part of an investment unit within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code, which also includes any Warrant issued to Lender in connection with the Loan. For all applicable U.S. federal income tax purposes, the issue price of the investment unit and the fair market value of the Warrant issued
in connection with the Loan shall be determined collectively by Borrower and Lender, acting in good faith, at the time such Loan is made to Borrower. The “issue price” of the Loan made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement (and any Note issued in connection therewith) shall equal (i) the issue price of the investment unit, minus (ii) the fair market value of the Warrant issued in connection with Lender’s Loan. Lender and Borrower agree that the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 5.07 will be used for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. Borrower and Lender agree to make any determinations under Treasury Regulations §1.1273-2(h)(2) consistently with the foregoing and to file all required tax returns consistently with the foregoing, as applicable, except as otherwise required by a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement or a good faith resolution of a tax audit or administrative or judicial tax Proceeding.
