EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 10, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Marti Technologies,
Inc. (formerly known as Galata Acquisition Corp.), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman
Islands (“New Marti” or the “Company”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to
the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among New Marti,
Galata Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Marti
Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Marti”).
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning
set forth in the Proxy Statement and Prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), forming part of New Marti’s Registration
Statement on Form F-4, as amended (File No. 333-269067) (the “Form F-4”).
The Business Combination Agreement provided that the parties thereto
would enter into a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i)
Merger Sub will merge with and into Marti with Marti surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Marti, and (ii) as a result
of the Merger, as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing, the Company is expected to become a U.S. corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes by reason of Section 7874(b) of the Code, in a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to the Code.
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination and by virtue of
the Merger: (i) each then issued and outstanding share of Marti Common Stock (including shares of Marti Common Stock resulting from the
Conversion, but excluding Marti Restricted Stock) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (1) that number of Class A Ordinary
Shares of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) equal to the exchange ratio (calculated in accordance with the Business
Combination Agreement, and (2) the contingent right to receive certain earnout shares as additional consideration; (ii) all shares of
Marti Stock held in the treasury of Marti were canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect
thereto; (iii) each then issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub Common Stock was converted into and exchanged for one validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Marti; (iv) each then outstanding and
unexercised Marti Option, whether or not vested, was assumed and converted into (a) an option to purchase a number of Class A Ordinary
Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Marti Common Stock subject to such Marti Option immediately prior to the Effective
Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio (such product rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to
the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Marti Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided
by (2) the exchange ratio (which assumed and converted option generally remains subject to the same vesting, exercisability and other
terms and conditions as such Marti Option, except that any repurchase rights thereon shall lapse at the Effective Time) and (b) the contingent
right to receive certain earnout shares (with respect to each holder, rounded down to the nearest whole number of earnout shares) as additional
consideration; (v) each then outstanding award of Marti Restricted Stock was assumed and converted into (a) an award covering a number
of restricted Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Marti Restricted Stock subject to such award
immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio (such product rounded down to the nearest whole share) (which assumed
and converted award will generally remain subject to the same vesting, repurchase and other terms and conditions as such award of Marti
Restricted Stock, except that any repurchase rights thereon shall lapse at the Effective Time) and (b) the contingent right to receive
certain earnout shares as additional consideration; and (vi) each then-outstanding Founder Share was converted, on a one-for-one
basis, into a Class A Ordinary Share.
The Business Combination was consummated on July 10, 2023. The transaction
was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and was approved at the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders
held on July 6, 2023. As a result of the Business Combination, Marti became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Marti. On July 11, 2023,
the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants commenced trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange, or “NYSE American”, under
the symbols “MRT” and “MRTW,” respectively.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
in material respects from those projected in forward-looking statements herein.
Many factors could cause actual results or performance to be materially

limitation changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Marti plans to operate, variations in competitors’
performance and success and changes in laws and regulations affecting Marti’s business, (vi) Marti’s ability to implement
business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify opportunities, (vii) the risk of downturns in the highly competitive tech-enabled
mobility services industry, (viii) the ability of Marti to build the Marti brand and consumers’ recognition, acceptance and adoption
of the Marti brand, (ix) the risk that Marti may not be able to effectively manage its growth, including its design, research, development
and maintenance capabilities, (x) technological changes and risks associated with doing business in an emerging market, (xi) risks relating
to New Marti’s dependence on and use of certain intellectual property and technology and (xii) other factors discussed under the
section titled “Risk Factors” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which section is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of New Marti’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements herein. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. New Marti and Marti undertake no obligation, except as required
by law, to revise publicly any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Report or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks described in the reports we will file from time

any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination
of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other
newspaper or by any other means in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any
other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers
for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days. |
| 7.2 | In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears
a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of the Members or any
adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution,
or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose. |
| 7.3 | If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members
entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a Dividend or other distribution,
the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors resolving to pay such Dividend or
other distribution is passed, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of
Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof. |
| 8.1 | A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates
shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates
shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued
with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise
identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled
and, subject to the Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares
shall have been surrendered and cancelled. |
| 8.2 | The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than
one person and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them. |
| 8.3 | If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any)
as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the
Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate. |
| 8.4 | Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or
other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course
of delivery. |
| 8.5 | Share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Statute, if applicable,
or as the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise
under Applicable Law may from time to time determine, whichever is shorter, after the allotment or, except in the case of a Share transfer
which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgement of a Share transfer with
the Company. |
| 9.1 | Subject to the terms of the Articles, including Article 9.4, any Member may transfer all or any of
his or her Shares by an instrument of transfer provided that such transfer complies with the rules and regulations of the Designated
Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were
issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without
the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer
of such option or warrant. |
| 9.2 | The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed
by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise
under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by the Directors and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the
Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing
House or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from
time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register
of Members. |
| 9.3 | The Directors may, in their absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of Shares, subject to
any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the Commission and the Designated Stock Exchange. |
| 9.4 | Subject to Article 9.5 and Article 9.7, during the Lockup Period no Company Employee shall Transfer
any Lockup Securities. |
| 9.5 | Notwithstanding Article 9.4, Transfers of Lockup Securities are permitted: |
| (a) | if such Transfer has been approved by the Board, which approval must include the affirmative vote or written
consent of the Class III Director nominated by Callaway Capital Management, LLC; |
| (b) | in the case of an individual, by a gift to a member of the Company Employee’s immediate family,
or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Company Employee or a member of the Company Employee’s immediate family; |
| (c) | to a charitable organization; |
| (d) | in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; |
| (e) | in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; |
| (f) | in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction which results in all of the Members having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities
or other property subsequent to the date hereof; |
| (g) | by any Company Employee to any of its controlled Affiliates; or |
| (h) | to the Company in connection with the exercise or vesting of any equity award covering Ordinary Shares
(including by way of “net” or “cashless” exercise). |
| 9.6 | Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Lockup Securities in violation of Article 9.4 shall be
null and void. No such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books, including the Register of Members, and the purported transferee
in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the Company Employee proposing to make any such Transfer shall continue to be treated)
as the owner of such Ordinary Shares for all purposes. |
| 9.7 | Any person to whom a Company Employee Transfers Lockup Securities during the Lockup Period will be, and
the Lockup Securities Transferred to such person shall be, subject to the Lockup Period, the restrictions on Transfers and permitted Transfer
provisions in accordance with this Article 9. |
| 10 | Redemption, Purchase and Surrender of Shares, Treasury Shares |
| 10.1 | Subject to the provisions, if any, in these Articles, the Memorandum, applicable law, including the Statute,
and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise
under Applicable Law, the Company may: |
| (a) | issue shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company
or the Member on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may, before the issue of such shares, determine; and |
| (b) | purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the
Directors may agree with the relevant Member, provided that the manner of purchase is in accordance with any applicable requirements imposed
from time to time by the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable
Law; |
For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions,
repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in the Article above shall not require further approval of the
Members.
| 10.2 | The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner
permitted by the Statute, including out of capital. |
| 10.3 | The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid share. |
| 10.4 | The Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share
shall be held as a Treasury Share. |
| 10.5 | The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they
think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration). |
| 11 | Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares |
| 11.1 | Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different
classes of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that
class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued shares of that class
where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation
shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with
the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of
the shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not
have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions
of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person
holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued shares of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present
in person or by proxy may demand a poll. |
| 11.2 | For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of
Shares as forming one class of shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals
under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of shares. |
| 11.3 | The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights
shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation
or issue of further shares ranking in priority to or pari passu therewith. |
| 12 | Commission on Sale of Shares |
The Company may, in so far as the Statute
permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his or her subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally)
or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any shares. Such commissions may be satisfied
by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up shares. The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage
as may be lawful.
| 13 | Non-Recognition of Trusts |
The Company shall not be bound by or
compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share, or (except
only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any share other than an absolute right
to the entirety thereof in the holder.
| 14.1 | The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered
in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether
presently payable or not) by such Member or his or her estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not,
but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration
of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall
also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share. |
| 14.2 | The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a
lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been
received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy
of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold. |
| 14.3 | To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer
of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his or her nominee shall be registered
as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he or she shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase
money, nor shall his or her title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s
power of sale under the Articles. |
| 14.4 | The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the
amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently
payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale. |
| 15.1 | Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members
in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving
at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified
the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be
required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him or her notwithstanding
the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. |
| 15.2 | A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising
such call was passed. |
| 15.3 | The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. |
| 15.4 | If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay
interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and
in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of
the interest or expenses wholly or in part. |
| 15.5 | An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account
of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles
shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call. |
| 15.6 | The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or
the interest to be paid. |
| 15.7 | The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any
part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him or her, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay
interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance. |
| 15.8 | No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of
a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment,
become payable. |
| 16.1 | If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may
give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together
with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify
where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will
be liable to be forfeited. |
| 16.2 | If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment
required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other
distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. |
| 16.3 | A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as
the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the
Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise
some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person. |
| 16.4 | A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall
surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies
which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him or her to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate
as the Directors may determine, but his or her liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all
monies due and payable by him or her in respect of those Shares. |
| 16.5 | A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on
a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The
certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom
the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his or
her title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal
of the Share. |
| 16.6 | The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which,
by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium
as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
| 17.1 | If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he or she was a joint holder) or his or her legal personal
representatives (where he or she was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his or
her shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any share, for which he or she was
a joint or sole holder. |
| 17.2 | Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution
of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect,
by a notice in writing sent by him or her to the Company, either to become the holder of such share or to have some person nominated by
him or her registered as the holder of such share. If he or she elects to have another person registered as the holder of such share he
or she shall sign an instrument of transfer of that share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to
decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by the relevant Member before his or her
death or bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be. |
| 17.3 | A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution
of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages
to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the holder of such share. However, he or she shall not, before becoming a Member
in respect of a share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the
Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or herself or
to have some person nominated by him or her be registered as the holder of the share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the
same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by the relevant Member before
his or her death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is
not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to these Articles) the Directors
may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the
requirements of the notice have been complied with. |
| 18.1 | Subject to these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share
capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe. |
| 18.2 | Subject to these Articles, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution: |
| (a) | consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing
shares, provided that any fractions of a share that result from such a consolidation or division of its share capital shall be automatically
repurchased by the Company at (i) the market price on the date of such consolidation or division, in the case of any shares listed
on a Designated Stock Exchange and (ii) a price to be agreed between the Company and the applicable Member in the case of any shares
not listed on a Designated Stock Exchange; |
| (b) | sub-divide its existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision
the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the
share from which the reduced share is derived; |
| (c) | divide shares into multiple classes; and |
| (d) | cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to
be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled. |
| 18.3 | All new shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment
of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the shares in the original share capital. |
| 18.4 | Subject to these Articles, the Company may by Special Resolution: |
| (b) | alter or add to the Articles; |
| (c) | alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein;
and |
| (d) | reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law. |
| 19 | Offices and Places of Business |
Subject to the provisions of the Statute,
the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office. The Company may, in addition to its Registered
Office, maintain such other offices or places of business as the Directors determine.
| 20.1 | All general meetings of the Company other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general
meetings. |
| 20.2 | The Company shall hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting each year, and shall specify the
meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall approve.
At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented. |
| 20.3 | Extraordinary general meetings for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a resolution adopted
by the majority of the Directors, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Directors acting pursuant to a resolution
may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled extraordinary general meeting, before or after the notice for such meeting
has been sent. Business transacted at any extraordinary general meeting shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes
stated in the notice of meeting. |
| 20.4 | A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment
by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general
meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. |
| 21 | Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting |
| 21.1 | No business may be transacted at any extraordinary general meeting other than the business specified in
the notice of such meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled extraordinary general meeting. |
| 21.2 | At an annual general meeting of the Company, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been
properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual general meeting, business must be (a) specified in a
notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before
the meeting by the Board or the Chairman of the Board or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a Member present in
person who (1) (x) was a record owner of shares of the Company both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Article 21
and at the time of the meeting, (y) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (z) has complied with this Article 21 in all
applicable respects or (2) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. The foregoing provision
(z) shall be the exclusive means for a Member to propose business to be brought before an annual general meeting. The only matters
that may be brought before an extraordinary general meeting are the matters specified in the notice of such meeting, and Members shall
not be permitted to propose business to be brought before an extraordinary general meeting. For purposes of this Article 21, “present
in person” shall mean that the Member proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Company, or a qualified
representative of such proposing Member, appear at such annual general meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing
Member shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Member or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such
Member or an electronic transmission delivered by such Member to act for such Member as proxy at the meeting of Members and such person
must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting
of Members. Members seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Article 22 and Article 23 and this
Article 21 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Article 22 and Article 23. |
| 21.3 | Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a Member,
the Member must (A) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Directors of the Company
and (B) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Article 21. To be timely,
a Member’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Company not less than
ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.
In the case of the first annual general meeting following the date hereof, notice by the Member to be timely must be so delivered, or
mailed and received, not later than the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual general
meeting was first made by the Company (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any
adjournment or postponement of an annual general meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely
Notice as described above. |
| 21.4 | To be in proper form for purposes of this Article 21, a Member’s notice to the Directors shall
set forth: |
| (a) | As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (i) the name and address of such Proposing Person
(including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Company’s books and records); and (ii) the class and number
of shares of the Company that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own
any shares of any class or series of the Company as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any
time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to as “Stockholder
Information”); |
| (b) | As to each Proposing Person, (i) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly,
underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes
a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic
Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares
of any class or series of shares of the Company; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,”
the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative
security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or
instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination
of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such
security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing
Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies
Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain
the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect
to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s
business as a derivatives dealer, (ii) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Company owned
beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Company, (iii) any material
pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Company or any
of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Company, (iv) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person,
on the one hand, and the Company, any affiliate of the Company, on the other hand, (v) any direct or indirect material interest in
any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Company or any affiliate of the Company (including, in any such case,
any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (vi) a representation that such Proposing Person
intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the
issued share capital of the Company required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from Members in support of
such proposal and (vii) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy
statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support
of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to
be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”);
provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities
of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the member
directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Articles on behalf of a beneficial owner; and |
| (c) | As to each item of business that the Member proposes to bring before the annual general meeting, (i) a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual general meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at
the annual general meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (ii) the text of the proposal or
business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to
amend the Articles, the language of the proposed amendment), and (iii) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements
and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other
record or beneficial holder(s) or persons(s) who have a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future of the
shares of any class or series of the Company (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Member;
and (iv) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other
filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting
pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (c) shall
not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person
solely as a result of being the Member directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Articles on behalf of a beneficial
owner. |
For purposes of this Article 21,
the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the Member providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before
an annual general meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business
proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of
Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such Member in such solicitation.
| (d) | A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Directors of its intent to propose business
at an annual general meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this
Article 21 shall be true and correct as of the record date for Members entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is
ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered
to, or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than five (5) Business Days after the record
date for Members entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date),
and not later than eight (8) Business Days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement
thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed)
(in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other
Article of these Articles shall not limit the Company’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a
Member, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a Member who has previously submitted notice hereunder
to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed
to be brought before a meeting of the Members. |
| (e) | Notwithstanding anything in these Articles to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual
general meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Article 21. The presiding officer of the
meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Article 21,
and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted. |
| (f) | This Article 21 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual
general meeting other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Company’s
proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Article 21 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an
annual general meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such
business. Nothing in this Article 21 shall be deemed to affect the rights of Members to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. |
| (g) | For purposes of these Articles, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release
reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. |
| 22 | Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board |
| (a) | Nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual general meeting or at an extraordinary
general meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of
the person calling such extraordinary general meeting) may be made at such meeting only (i) by or at the direction of the Board,
including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or these Articles, or (ii) by a Member present in person (A) who
was a record owner of shares of the Company both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Article 22 and at the time
of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Article 22 and Article 23 as
to such notice and nomination. For purposes of this Article 22, “present in person” shall mean that the Member proposing
that the business be brought before the meeting of the Company, or a qualified representative of such Member, appear at such meeting.
A “qualified representative” of such proposing Member shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Member
or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such Member or an electronic transmission delivered by such Member to act for
such Member as proxy at the meeting of Members and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction
of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Members. The foregoing clause (ii) shall be the exclusive means for
a Member to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual general meeting or extraordinary general
meeting. |
| (i) | Without qualification, for a Member to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the
Board at an annual general meeting, the member must (1) provide Timely Notice (as defined in Article 21) thereof in writing
and in proper form to the Directors of the Company, (2) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to such
Member and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Article 22 and Article 23 and (3) provide any
updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Article 22 and Article 23. Without qualification,
if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling an extraordinary
general meeting, then for a Member to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an extraordinary general
meeting, the Member must (i) provide timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Directors of the Company at the principal
executive offices of the Company. |
| (ii) | provide the information with respect to such Member and its candidate for nomination as required by this
Article 22 and Article 23 and (iii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required
by this Article 22. To be timely, a Member’s notice for nominations to be made at an extraordinary general meeting must be
delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th)
day prior to such extraordinary general meeting and not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such extraordinary general meeting
or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Article 21) of the date of such extraordinary
general meeting was first made. |
| (iii) | In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual general meeting or extraordinary general
meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Member’s notice as described above. |
| (iv) | In no event may a Nominating Person provide Timely Notice with respect to a greater number of director
candidates than are subject to election by Members at the applicable meeting. If the Company shall, subsequent to such notice, increase
the number of directors subject to election at the meeting, such notice as to any additional nominees shall be due on the later of (i) the
conclusion of the time period for Timely Notice, (ii) the date set forth in Article 22(b)(ii) or (iii) the tenth day
following the date of public disclosure (as defined in Article 21) of such increase. |
| (c) | To be in proper form for purposes of this Article 22, a Member’s notice to the Directors shall
set forth: |
| (i) | As to each Nominating Person (as defined below), the Stockholder Information (as defined in Article 21.4(a),
except that for purposes of this Article 22 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing
Person” in all places it appears in Article 21.4(a)); |
| (ii) | As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Article 21.4(b), except that
for purposes of this Article 22 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person”
in all places it appears in Article 21.4(b) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought before the meeting
in Article 21.4(b) shall be made with respect to the election of directors at the meeting); and |
| (iii) | As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all
information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a Member’s notice pursuant to
this Article 22 and Article 23 if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (B) all information relating
to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection
with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange
Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director
if elected), (C) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among
any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or any other participants
in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant
to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate
for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through
(C) are referred to as “Nominee Information”), and (D) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation
and agreement as provided in Article 23(a). |
For purposes of this Article 22,
the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the Member providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at
the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed
to be made at the meeting is made, and (iii) any other participant in such solicitation.
| (d) | A Member providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and
supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Article 22
shall be true and correct as of the record date for Members entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) Business
Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than five (5) Business Days after the record date for Members
entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than
eight (8) Business Days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not
practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the
update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).
For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Article of these
Articles shall not limit the Company’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a Member, extend any applicable
deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a Member who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination
or to submit any new nomination. |
In addition to the requirements of this
Article 22 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.
| 23 | Additional Requirements for Valid Nomination of Candidates to Serve as Director and, if Elected, to
be Seated as Directors. |
| (a) | To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Company at an annual general meeting
or extraordinary general meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Article 22 and the candidate for nomination,
whether nominated by the Board or by a Member of record, must have previously delivered (in accordance with the time period prescribed
for delivery in a notice to such candidate given by or on behalf of the Board), to the Directors at the principal executive offices of
the Company, (1) a completed written questionnaire (in a form provided by the Company) with respect to the background, qualifications,
share ownership and independence of such proposed nominee, and such additional information with respect to such proposed nominee as would

and agreement (in form provided by the Company) that such candidate for nomination (A) is not and, if elected as a director during
his or her term of office, will not become a party to (x) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and
will not give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the Company,
will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (y) any Voting Commitment that could limit
or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Company, with such proposed nominee’s
fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with
any person or entity other than the Company with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director
that has not been disclosed to the Company, (C) if elected as a director of the Company, will comply with all applicable corporate
governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock or share ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Company

(D) if elected as director of the Company, intends to serve the entire term until the next meeting at which such candidate would
face re-election and (E) consents to being named as a nominee in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-4(d) under
the Exchange Act and any associated proxy card of the Company and agrees to serve if elected as a director. |
| (b) | The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information
as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of Members at which such candidate’s nomination is to
be acted upon in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the
Company in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. |
| (c) | A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant
to this Article 23, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Article 23 shall
be true and correct as of the record date for Members entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) Business
Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company (or any other office specified by the Company in any
public announcement) not later than five (5) Business Days after the record date for Members entitled to vote at the meeting (in
the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) Business Days prior
to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable
date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be
made as of ten (10) Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Article of these Articles shall not limit the Company’s
rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a Member, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be
deemed to permit a Member who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal,
including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the Members. |
| (d) | No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Company unless such candidate for nomination
and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with Article 22 and this Article 23,
as applicable. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in
accordance with Article 22 and this Article 23, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination
to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any
form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect. |
| (e) | Notwithstanding anything in these Articles to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible
to be seated as a director of the Company unless nominated and elected in accordance with Article 22 and this Article 23. |
| 24 | Notice of General Meetings |
| 24.1 | The notice of any general meeting of Members shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with these
Articles not less than ten (10) calendar days (but not more than sixty (60) calendar days) before the date of the meeting to each
Member entitled to vote at such meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of
the day for which it is given. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication,
if any, by which Members and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of an extraordinary
general meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned
or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not
the notice specified in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of Articles regarding general meetings have been
complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed: |
| (a) | in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the Members (or their proxies) entitled to attend and
vote thereat; and |
| (b) | in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by the Members (or their proxies) having a right to attend
and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than a majority of the shares giving that right. |
| 24.2 | The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such, and the notice convening
a meeting to pass a Special Resolution shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as a Special Resolution. Notice of every
general meeting shall be given to all Members other than such as, under the provisions hereof or the terms of issue of the shares they
hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company. |
| 24.3 | In cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with a notice of general meeting, the accidental omission
to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of any such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive notice shall
not invalidate any resolution passed or any proceeding at any such meeting. |
| 24.4 | The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to or the non receipt of a notice of a meeting by
any Member shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting. |
| 25 | Proceedings at General Meetings |
| 25.1 | The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the Members will
vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The person presiding over any meeting of
Members shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such
rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person,
are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, prescribed by the person presiding over
the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting;
(ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation,
rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation
in the meeting to Members entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the
person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement
thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of
Members, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation,
determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting,
prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter
of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall
so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. |
| 25.2 | No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Members is present at the time
when the meeting proceeds to business. Members holding in aggregate not less than a simple majority of all voting share capital of the
Company in issue present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall be a quorum. A person may participate at a general meeting by
conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate
with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. If, however,
such quorum is not present or represented at any general meeting, then either (i) the chairman of the meeting or (ii) the Members
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting. |
| 25.3 | When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, unless these Articles otherwise require, notice
need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.
At the adjourned meeting the Company may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment
is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each Member of record entitled to vote at the meeting. |
| 25.4 | A determination of the Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a general meeting shall apply
to any adjournment of such meeting unless the Directors fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the Directors shall fix a
new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting. |
| 25.5 | The chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company. If at any
meeting the chairman of the Board is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling
to act as chairman, the Directors present shall elect one of their number as chairman of the meeting or if all the Directors present decline
to take the chair, the Members present shall choose one of their own number to be the chairman of the meeting. |
| 25.6 | At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll. |
| 25.7 | A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed
to be the resolution of the meeting. |
| 25.8 | In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or
casting vote. |
| 26.1 | Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares,
every Member present in person and every person representing a Member by proxy at a general meeting of the Company shall have one (1) vote
for each share registered in such Member’s name in the Register of Members. No cumulative voting shall be allowed. |
| 26.2 | In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote whether in person or by
proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order
in which the names stand in the Register of Members. |
| 26.3 | A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction
in lunacy, may vote on a poll by his or her committee, or other person in the nature of a committee appointed by that court, and any such
committee or other person, may on a poll, vote by proxy. |
| 26.4 | No Member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all sums presently payable by him or
her in respect of shares in the Company have been paid. |
| 26.5 | On a poll, votes may be given either personally or by proxy. |
| 26.6 | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing (whether by manual signature, typewriting or otherwise)
under the hand of the appointor or of his or her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is an entity, either under seal
or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised in that behalf provided however, that a Member may also authorise the casting
of a vote by proxy pursuant to telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions (including, without limitation, instructions transmitted
over the internet) obtained pursuant to procedures approved by the Directors which are reasonably designed to verify that such instructions
have been authorised by such Member. A proxy need not be a Member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no proxy shall be voted
or acted upon after three (3) years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period. |
| 26.7 | An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors
may approve. |
| 26.8 | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a
poll. |
| 26.9 | Shares that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any general
meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued Shares at any given time. |
| 27 | Corporations Acting by Representatives at Meeting |
Any corporation or other entity which
is a Member may, by resolution of its directors, other governing body or authorised individual(s), authorise such person as it thinks
fit to act as its representative at any general meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall
be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he or she represents as that corporation could exercise if
it were an individual Member.
If a clearing house or depository (or
its nominee) is a Member it may, by resolution of its directors, other governing body or authorised individual(s) or by power of
attorney, authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives at any general meeting of
the Company or at any general meeting of any class of Members; provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation
shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A person so authorised pursuant to
this provision shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee) which he or she represents
as that clearing house (or its nominee) could exercise if it were an individual Member of the Company holding the number and class of
shares specified in such authorisation.
| 29 | Shares that May Not be Voted |
Shares in the Company that are beneficially
owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number
of outstanding Shares at any given time.
| 30.1 | There shall be a Board consisting of such number of Directors as fixed by the Directors from time to time
(but not less than one Director). So long as Shares are listed on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Board shall include such number of
“independent directors” as the relevant rules applicable to the listing of any Shares on the Designated Stock Exchange
require. |
| 30.2 | The Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes designated as Class I, Class II and
Class III, respectively. At the 2023 annual general meeting, the term of office of the Class I Directors shall expire and Class I
Directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years. At the 2024 annual general meeting, the term of office of the Class II
Directors shall expire and Class II Directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years. At the 2025 annual general
meeting, the term of office of the Class III Directors shall expire and Class III Directors shall be elected for a full term
of three (3) years. At each succeeding annual general meeting, Directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years
to succeed the Directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual general meeting. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting
the Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. |
| 30.3 | The Directors by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining Directors present and voting
at a meeting of the Directors, even if less than a quorum, shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person
as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board, subject to these Articles, the rules and
regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.
A Director appointed to fill a vacancy in accordance with this Article shall be of the same Class of Director as the Director
he or she replaced and the term of such appointment shall terminate in accordance with that Class of Director. Any Director so appointed
shall hold office until the expiration of his or her term, until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until
his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. |
| 30.4 | A director may be removed from office by the Members by Special Resolution only for cause (“cause”
for removal of a Director shall be deemed to exist only if (a) the Director whose removal is proposed has been convicted of an arrestable
offence by a court of competent jurisdiction and such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal; (b) such Director has been
found by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office at any regular or extraordinary general meeting of the Board
called for that purpose, or by a court of competent jurisdiction, to have been guilty of wilful misconduct in the performance of such
Director’s duties to the Company in a matter of substantial importance to the Company; or (c) such Director has been adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent, which mental incompetency directly affects such director’s ability
to perform his or her obligations as a Director) at any time before the expiration of his or her term notwithstanding anything in these
Articles or in any agreement between the Company and such Director (but without prejudice to any claim for damages under such agreement). |
| 30.5 | The Directors may, from time to time, and except as required by the rules and regulations of the
Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, adopt, institute,
amend, modify or revoke the corporate governance policies or initiatives, which shall be intended to set forth the policies of the Company
and the Directors on various corporate governance related matters, as the Directors shall determine by resolution from time to time. |
| 30.6 | A Director shall not be required to hold any shares in the Company by way of qualification. A Director
who is not a Member of the Company shall nevertheless be entitled to receive notice of and to attend and speak at general meetings of
the Company and all classes of shares of the Company. |
| 31 | Directors’ Fees and Expenses |
| 31.1 | The Directors may receive such remuneration as the Directors may from time to time determine. The Directors
may be entitled to be repaid all traveling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred by such Director
in attending meetings of the Directors or committees of the Directors or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of securities
of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of his or her duties as a Director. |
| 31.2 | Any Director who performs services which in the opinion of the Directors go beyond the ordinary duties
of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the
Directors may determine and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to or in substitution for any ordinary remuneration provided
for, by or pursuant to any other Article. |
| 32 | Powers and Duties of Directors |
| 32.1 | Subject to the provisions of the Statute, these Articles and to any resolutions made in a general meeting,
the business of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, who may pay all expenses incurred in setting up and
registering the Company and may exercise all powers of the Company. No resolution made by the Company in a general meeting shall invalidate
any prior act of the Directors that would have been valid if that resolution had not been made. |
| 32.2 | The Directors may delegate any of their powers, authorities and discretions, including the power to sub-delegate,
to any committees consisting of such member or members of their body as they think fit (including, without limitation, the Audit Committee,
the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee); provided that any committee so formed shall include
amongst its members at least two Directors unless otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange,
the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. No committee shall have the power of authority
to (a) recommend to the Members an amendment of these Articles (except that a committee may, to the extent authorised in the resolution
or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares adopted by the Directors as provided under the laws of the Cayman Islands, fix the
designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets
of the Company or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of
the same or any other class or classes of shares of the Company); (b) adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation; (c) recommend
to the Members the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets; (d) recommend
to the Members a dissolution of the Company or a revocation of a dissolution; (e) recommend to the Members an amendment of the Memorandum;
or (f) declare a dividend or authorise the issuance of shares unless the resolution establishing such committee (or the charter of
such committee approved by the Directors) or the Memorandum or these Articles so provide. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise
of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the Directors. The Directors may also delegate to any
Director holding any executive office such of their powers as they consider desirable to be exercised by him or her. Any such delegation
may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers,
and may be revoked or altered. |
| 32.3 | The Directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any company,
firm or person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Company
for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretion (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under
these Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such power of attorney may contain such
provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorney as the Directors may think fit, and may also authorise
any such attorney to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretion vested in him. |
| 32.4 | The Directors may from time to time provide for the management of the affairs of the Company in such manner
as they shall think fit and the provisions contained in the following paragraphs shall be without prejudice to the general powers conferred
by this paragraph. |
| 32.5 | The Directors from time to time and at any time may establish any advisory committees, local boards or
agencies for managing any of the affairs of the Company and may appoint any persons to be members of such advisory committees or local
boards and may appoint any managers or agents of the Company and may fix the remuneration of any of the aforesaid. |
| 32.6 | The Directors from time to time and at any time may delegate to any such advisory committee, local board,
manager or agent any of the powers, authorities and discretions for the time being vested in the Directors and may authorise the members
for the time being of any such local board, or any of them to fill up any vacancies therein and to act notwithstanding vacancies and any
such appointment or delegation may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Directors may think fit and the Directors
may at any time remove any person so appointed and may annul or vary any such delegation, but no person dealing in good faith and without
notice of any such annulment or variation shall be affected thereby. |
| 32.7 | The Directors may adopt formal written charters for committees and, if so adopted, shall review and assess
the adequacy of such formal written charters on an annual basis. Each of these committees shall be empowered to do all things necessary
to exercise the rights of such committee set forth in the Articles and shall have such powers as the Directors may delegate pursuant to
the Articles and as required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory
authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee, if established, shall consist of such number of Directors as the Directors shall from time to time determine (or
such minimum number as may be required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or
any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law). For so long as any class of Shares is listed on the Designated
Stock Exchange, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be made up
of such number of Independent Directors as is required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the rules and regulations
of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. |
| 32.8 | Any such delegates as aforesaid may be authorised by the Directors to sub-delegate all or any of the powers,
authorities, and discretions for the time being vested to them. |
| 32.9 | The Directors may elect, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, a chairman.
The chairman of the Board may be a director or an officer of the Company. Subject to the provisions of these Articles and the direction
of the Directors, the chairman of the Board shall perform all duties and have all powers which are commonly incident to the position of
chairman of a board or which are delegated to him or her by the Directors, preside at all general meetings and meetings of the Directors
at which he or she is present and have such powers and perform such duties as the Directors may from time to time prescribe. |
| 33 | Disqualification of Directors |
Subject to these Articles, the office
of Director shall be vacated, if the Director:
| (a) | becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors; |
| (b) | dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; |
| (c) | resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the Company; |
| (d) | is prohibited by applicable law or the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory
authority or otherwise under Applicable Law from being a director; |
| (e) | without special leave of absence from the Directors, is absent from meetings of the Directors for six
consecutive months and the Directors resolve that his or her office be vacated; or |
| (f) | if he or she shall be removed from office pursuant to these Articles. |
| 34 | Proceedings of Directors |
| 34.1 | Subject to these Articles, the Directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, adjourn, and
otherwise regulate their meetings and proceedings as they think fit. Such meetings may be held at any place within or outside the Cayman
Islands that has been designated by the Directors. In the absence of such a designation, meetings of the Directors shall be held at the
principal executive office of the Company. Questions arising at any meeting of the Directors shall be decided by the method set forth
in Article 34.4. |
| 34.2 | The chairman of the Board or the Secretary on request of a Director, may, at any time summon a meeting
of the Directors by twenty-four (24) hour notice to each Director in person, by telephone, electronic email, or in such other manner as
the Directors may from time to time determine, which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless
notice is waived by all the Directors either at, before or after the meeting is held. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Director
(i) who signs a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether before or after
the meeting, or (ii) who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such
Directors. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.
A waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of any regular or extraordinary general meeting of the Directors. |
| 34.3 | A Director or Directors may participate in any meeting of the Directors, or of any committee appointed
by the Directors of which such Director or Directors are members, by means of telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which
all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person
at the meeting. |
| 34.4 | The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors shall be a majority of the authorised
number of Directors. If at any time there is only a sole Director, the quorum shall be one (1) Director. Every act or decision done
or made by a majority of the Directors present at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the
Directors, subject to the provisions of these Articles and other applicable law. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall
not have an additional tie-breaking vote. |
| 34.5 | A meeting of the Directors may be held by means of telephone or teleconferencing or any other telecommunications
facility provided that all participants are thereby able to communicate immediately by voice with all other participants. |
| 34.6 | Subject to these Articles, a Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in
a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general
notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he or she is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded
as interested in any contract which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest
in regard to any contract so made. A Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding
that he or she may be interested therein and if he or she does so his or her vote shall be counted and he or she may be counted in the
quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for
consideration. |
| 34.7 | A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor)
in conjunction with his or her office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors
may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his or her office from contracting with the Company either
with regard to his or her tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such
contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested, be liable to be avoided,
nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract
or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. A Director, notwithstanding
his or her interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting whereat he or she or any other Director is appointed to hold
any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he or she may vote
on any such appointment or arrangement. Any Director who enters into a contract or arrangement or has a relationship that is reasonably
likely to be implicated under this Article 34.7 or that would reasonably be likely to affect a Director’s status as an “Independent
Director” under the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other
competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law shall disclose the nature of his or her interest in any such contract
or arrangement in which he or she is interested or any such relationship. |
| 34.8 | Any Director may act by himself or herself or his or her firm in a professional capacity for the Company,
and he or she or his or her firm shall be entitled to reasonable expense reimbursement consistent with the Company’s policies in
connection with such Directors service in his or her official capacity; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director
or his or her firm to act as auditor to the Company. |
| 34.9 | The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books or loose-leaf folders provided for the purpose of
recording: |
| (a) | all appointments of officers made by the Directors; |
| (b) | the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of the Directors;
and |
| (c) | all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees
of Directors. |
| 34.10 | When the chairman of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed
to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical
defect in the proceedings. |
| 34.11 | A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of
a committee or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director,
all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed
at a meeting of the Directors, or committee as the case may be, duly convened and held. |
| 34.12 | The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and so long as their
number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors
may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose. |
| 34.13 | A committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings. If no such chairman is elected,
or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the members present
may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. |
| 34.14 | A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Questions arising at
any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman
shall not have a second or casting vote. |
| 34.15 | Meetings and actions of committees of the Directors shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance
with, the provisions of Article 34.1 (place of meetings), Article 34.2 (notice), Article 34.3 (telephonic meetings), and
Article 34.4 (quorum), with such changes in the context of these Articles as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members
for the Directors; provided, however, that the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the Directors
or by resolution of the committee, that special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Directors, and that notice
of special meetings of committees shall also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the right to attend all meetings of the
committee. The Directors may adopt rules for the government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these Articles. |
| 34.16 | All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any person acting
as a Director, shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director
or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed
and was qualified to be a Director. |
A Director of the Company who is present
at a meeting of the Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless
his or her dissent or abstention shall be entered in the Minutes of the meeting or unless he or she shall file his or her written dissent
or abstention from such action with the person acting as the chairman or Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall
forward such dissent or abstention by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent
or abstain shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.
| 36 | Dividends, Distributions and Reserve |
| 36.1 | Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares and
these Articles, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on shares
in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. All dividends unclaimed for one
(1) year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company until
claimed. Subject to any applicable unclaimed property or other laws, any dividend unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from
the date of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or
other sums payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. |
| 36.2 | The Directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available
for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors be applicable
for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds be properly applied and pending such
application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than
shares of the Company) as the Directors may from time to time think fit. The Directors shall establish an account to be called the “Share
Premium Account” and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium
paid on the issue of any share in the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of these Articles, the Directors may apply
the share premium account in any manner permitted by the Statute and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange,
the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The Company shall at all times comply with
the provisions of these Articles, the Statute and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any
other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law in relation to the share premium account. |
| 36.3 | Any dividend may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post to the registered address of the Member
or person entitled thereto, or in the case of joint holders, to any one of such joint holders at his or her registered address or to such
person and such address as the Member or person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. Every such cheque or warrant
shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent or to the order of such other person as the Member or person entitled,
or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends may also be paid electronically to the
account of the Members or persons entitled thereto or in such other manner approved by the Directors. |
| 36.4 | The Directors when paying dividends to the Members in accordance with the foregoing provisions may make
such payment either in cash or in specie. |
| 36.5 | No dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of profits or, subject to the restrictions of the Statute,
the share premium account. |
| 36.6 | Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividends, all
dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as fully paid on the shares, but if and so long as nothing
is paid up on any of the shares in the Company dividends may be declared and paid according to the amounts of the shares. No amount paid
on a share in advance of calls shall, while carrying interest, be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid on the share. |
| 36.7 | If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them may give effectual receipts
for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the share. |
| 36.8 | No dividend shall bear interest against the Company. |
| 37.1 | The books of account relating to the Company’s affairs shall be kept in such manner as may be determined
from time to time by the Directors. |
| 37.2 | The books of account shall be kept at such place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always
be open to the inspection of the Directors. |
| 37.3 | The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places
and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members
not being Directors, and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company
except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors. |
| 37.4 | The accounts relating to the Company’s affairs shall be audited in such manner and with such financial
year end as may be determined from time to time by the Directors or failing any determination as aforesaid shall not be audited. |
| 38.1 | The Directors or, if authorised to do so, the Audit Committee of the Directors, may appoint an auditor
of the Company who shall hold office until removed from office by a resolution of the Directors and may fix his or her or their remuneration. |
| 38.2 | Every auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers
of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may
be necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors. |
| 38.3 | Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their
tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the
Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of
a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office,
upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members. |
| 39.1 | The Seal of the Company shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution
of the Directors, provided always that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of the Seal and if given after may be
in general form confirming a number of affixings of the Seal. The Seal shall be affixed in the presence of any one or more persons as
the Directors may appoint for the purpose and every person as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the Seal of the Company is
so affixed in their presence. |
| 39.2 | The Company may maintain a facsimile of its Seal in such countries or places as the Directors may appoint
and such facsimile Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always
that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of such facsimile Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming
a number of affixings of such facsimile Seal. The facsimile Seal shall be affixed in the presence of such person or persons as the Directors
shall for this purpose appoint and such person or persons as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the facsimile Seal of the
Company is so affixed in their presence of and the instrument signed by a Director or the Secretary (or an Assistant Secretary) of the
Company or in the presence of any one or more persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose. |
| 39.3 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Director shall have the authority to affix the Seal, or the facsimile
Seal, to any instrument for the purposes of attesting authenticity of the matter contained therein but which does not create any obligation
binding on the Company. |
| 40.1 | Subject to these Articles, the Directors may from time to time appoint any person, whether or not a director
of the Company, to hold the office of the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, one or more Vice Presidents
or such other officers as the Directors may think necessary for the administration of the Company, for such term and at such remuneration
(whether by way of salary or commission or participation in profits or partly in one way and partly in another), and with such powers
and duties as the Directors may think fit. |
| 40.2 | All officers of the Company shall respectively have such authority and perform such duties in the management
of the business of the Company as may be provided herein or designated from time to time by the Board and, to the extent not so provided,
as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the Board. |
| 41 | Register of Directors and Officers |
The Company shall cause to be kept in
one or more books at its office a register of Directors and Officers in which there shall be entered the full names and addresses of the
Directors and Officers and such other particulars as required by the Statute. The Company shall send to the Registrar of Companies in
the Cayman Islands a copy of such register, and shall from time to time notify the said Registrar of any change that takes place in relation
to such Directors and Officers as required by the Statute.
| 42 | Capitalisation of Profits |
Subject to the Statute and these Articles,
the Directors may capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including a share premium
account or a capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for
distribution and to appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the
same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued shares for
allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall
do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they
think fit for the case of shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements
accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members
interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made
under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.
| 43.1 | Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, any notice or document may be served by the Company or
by the person entitled to give notice to any Member either personally, by email or by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter
or via a recognised courier service, fees prepaid, addressed to the Member at his or her address as appearing in the Register of Members
or, to the extent permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, by electronic means by transmitting it to any electronic number or
address or website supplied by the Member to the Company or by placing it on the Company’s Website, provided that, (i) with
respect to notification via electronic means, the Company has obtained the Member’s prior express positive confirmation in writing
to receive or otherwise have made available to him or her notices in such fashion, and (i) with respect to posting to Company’s
Website, notification of such posting is provided to such Member. In the case of joint holders of a share, all notices shall be given
to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given
shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders. |
| 43.2 | An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any general meeting, executed by the
Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent of the Company giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of
such notice. |
| 43.3 | Any Member present, either personally or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes
be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened. |
| 43.4 | Any notice or other document, if served by (a) post, shall be deemed to have been served when the
letter containing the same is posted, or (b) email, shall be deemed to have been served upon confirmation of successful transmission,
or (c) recognised courier service, shall be deemed to have been served when the letter containing the same is delivered to the courier
service and in proving such service it shall be sufficient to provide that the letter containing the notice or documents was properly
addressed and duly posted or delivered to the courier, or (d) electronic means as provided herein shall be deemed to have been served
and delivered on the day on which it is successfully transmitted or at such later time as may be prescribed by any applicable laws or
regulations. |
| 43.5 | Any notice or document delivered or sent to any Member in accordance with the terms of these Articles
shall notwithstanding that such Member be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his or her death or bankruptcy,
be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any share registered in the name of such Member as sole or joint holder, unless his or
her name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register of Members as the holder of the
share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all persons interested (whether
jointly with or as claiming through or under him or her) in the share. |
| 43.6 | Notice of every general meeting shall be given to: |
| (a) | all Members who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them, except that
in case of joint holders, the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members; and |
| 43.7 | No other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings. |
| 44.1 | No Member shall be entitled to require discovery of any information in respect of any detail of the Company’s
trading or any information which is or may be in the nature of a trade secret or secret process which may relate to the conduct of the
business of the Company and which in the opinion of the Directors would not be in the interests of the Members of the Company to communicate
to the public. |
| 44.2 | The Directors shall be entitled (but not required, except as provided by law) to release or disclose any
information in its possession, custody or control regarding the Company or its affairs to any of its Members including, without limitation,
information contained in the Register of Members and transfer books of the Company. |
| 45.1 | The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman
Islands as they presently exist or may hereafter be amended, any director or officer of the Company who was or is made or is threatened
to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative,
is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while serving as a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership (a “covered person”),
joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability
and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except
as otherwise provided in Article 45.4, the Company shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated
by such person only if the Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the Board. |
| 45.2 | The Company shall have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Company who was or is made or is threatened to be
made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal
representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with any such Proceeding. |
| 45.3 | The Company shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by any covered person, and may pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Company, in defending any Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the
Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined
that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 45 or otherwise. |
| 45.4 | If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article 45
is not paid in full within sixty (60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article 45 is not paid in full within
thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit
to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting
such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was
not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law. |
| 45.5 | The rights conferred on any person by this Article 45 shall not be exclusive of any other rights
which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of these Articles, agreement, vote of Members or disinterested
directors or otherwise. |
| 45.6 | The Directors, on behalf of the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under Cayman Islands law. |
| 45.7 | The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving
at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit
entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise. |
| 45.8 | The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
Article 45 shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and shall inure to
the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person. |
| 45.9 | The provisions of this Article 45 shall constitute a contract between the Company, on the one hand,
and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Company (whether before or after the
adoption of these Articles), in consideration of such person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article 45
the Company intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director or officer of the Company. With respect to current and
former directors and officers of the Company, the rights conferred under this Article 45 are present contractual rights and such
rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of these Articles. With respect to any directors
or officers of the Company who commence service following adoption of these Articles, the rights conferred under this provision shall
be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or
officer commencing service as a director or officer of the Company. |
| 45.10 | Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 45 shall not adversely affect
any right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal

the Company in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification. |

to the memorandum of association, articles of association, certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents)
of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who
is or was an employee of the Company or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to
suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Company or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the
Company or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this
Article 45. |
Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe,
the financial year of the Company shall end on December 31 in each year and shall begin on the day following.
| 47.1 | If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction
of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any shares, in a
winding up: |
| (a) | if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole
of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne
by the Members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them; or |
| (b) | if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the
whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the
Members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those
shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise. |
| 47.2 | If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any shares and
with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in
kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may
for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members.
The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of
the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon
which there is a liability. |
| 48 | Amendment of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Name of Company |
| 48.1 | Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of these Articles as regards the matters to
be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the following actions shall require a Special Resolution of the Company: |
| (b) | alter or add to these Articles; |
| (c) | alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein;
and |
| (d) | reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund. |
| 49 | Registration by Way of Continuation |
Subject to these Articles, the Company
may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction
in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article,
the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such
other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they
consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.
| 50 | Mergers and Consolidations |
The Company shall, with the approval
of a Special Resolution, have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Statute), upon
such terms as the Directors may determine.
| 51.1 | To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, not any Director who is not employed by the Company
or its subsidiaries shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or
indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential
transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, on
the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, no Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate
opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director
and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself,
directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the
Company. |
| 51.2 | The Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity
to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and any Director who
is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, about which any such Director acquires knowledge; provided that, the Company does
not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to any Director solely in his
or her capacity as a Director or Officer, and not in any other capacity. |
| 51.3 | In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, a corporate opportunity shall
not be deemed to belong to the Company if it is a business opportunity the Company is not financially able or contractually permitted
or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage
to it or that is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy. |
| 51.4 | To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that
is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been
conducted in the past. |
| 52 | Exclusive Jurisdiction and Forum |
| 52.1 | Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman
Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Memorandum, the Articles
or otherwise related in any way to each Member's shareholding in the Company, including but not limited to: |
| (a) | any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; |
| (b) | any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary or other duty owed by any current or former Director,
Officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Members; |
| (c) | any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Statute, the Memorandum or the Articles;
or |
| (d) | any action asserting a claim against the Company which, if brought in the United States of America, would
be a claim arising under the "Internal Affairs Doctrine" (as such concept is recognised under the laws of the United States
of America). |
| 52.2 | Each Member irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands over
all such claims or disputes. |
| 52.3 | Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have, each Member acknowledges
that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum
and that accordingly the Company shall be entitled, without proof of special damages, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance
or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum. |
| 52.4 | This Article 52 shall not apply to any action or suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created
by the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any claim for which the federal district
courts of the United States of America are, as a matter of the laws of the United States, the sole and exclusive forum for determination
of such a claim. |

plus any Additional Interest and Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 7.03, respectively. Stated
Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided
for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such
Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of

nearest $1.00), and the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver on the applicable Interest Payment Date
such PIK Notes for original issuance to the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date, as shown by the records of the register of
Holders. Any PIK Notes issued will be distributed to Holders or maintained by a Custodian for Holders of Physical Notes, will be dated
as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date. All Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment
will mature on the Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture and the
applicable Notes and will have the same rights and benefits as the Notes issued on the Issue Date. Any PIK Notes will be issued with the
description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note, and references to the “principal” or “principal amount”
of the PIK Notes will include any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of any PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes

Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date.
The calculation of PIK Interest will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company will designate,
and such calculation and the correctness thereof will not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. PIK Interest on the Notes will be paid
in the denominations specified in Section 2.01.
(E) Defaulted
Amounts. If the Company fails to pay any amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date
therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted
Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful,
interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, from,
and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; (iii) such Defaulted
Amount and Default Interest will be paid in cash on a payment date selected by the Company to the Holder of such Note as of the Close
of Business on a special record date selected by the Company, provided that such special record date must be no more than fifteen
(15), nor less than ten (10), calendar days before such payment date; and (iv) at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such special
record date, the Company will send notice to the Trustee and the Holders that states such special record date, such payment date and the
amount of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest to be paid on such payment date.
(F) Delay
of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in this Indenture is not a
Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately
following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay. Solely for purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be
closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”
Section 2.06. Registrar,
Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.
(A) Generally.
The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (ii) an office or agency in the continental United States where
Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); (iii) an office or agency in the continental United States
where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”); and (iv) an office of the Custodian. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such and will receive compensation
therefor in accordance with this Indenture and any other agreement between the Trustee and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.
(B) Duties
of the Registrar. The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders,
the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of Notes. Absent manifest error, the entries
in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register
as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably
promptly.
(C) Duties
of the Custodian in Respect of Physical Notes. Each Holder of a Physical Note, by acceptance of the Notes, hereby appoints U.S. Bank
Trust Company, National Association to act initially as the Custodian for such Notes, and to act on behalf of such Holder of Physical
Notes. The Custodian’s sole responsibility in respect of Physical Notes is to hold in safe-keeping the Physical Notes and all related
PIK Notes for which it is acting as Custodian (the “Custodied Notes”) on behalf of the Holders. The Custodian shall transfer
any Custodied Notes and surrender any Custodied Notes only in accordance with the written direction of the Holder or Holders of such Custodied
Notes in whose name such Notes are registered; provided, that the Custodian is hereby directed by each Holder of a Custodied Note to surrender
such Custodied Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 4.03 and to surrender such Custodied Note to the Issuer on the
Maturity Date. The Custodian’s duty with respect to a Custodied Note in its physical possession shall be limited to the exercise
of reasonable care by the Custodian with respect to such Custodied Note in its physical possession. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
that the Custodian may have physical possession of any Note with respect to which it is acting in its capacity as Custodian, such Note
shall nonetheless be the property solely of the Holder of such Note. The Custodian hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such with respect
to, and hereby agrees to take and hold in accordance with the Notes of each applicable Holder. At any time after the date of this Indenture,
any Holder of a Physical Note shall inform the Custodian in writing (including by e-mail) that such Holder no longer wishes the Custodian
to act in its capacity as such with respect to any Notes of such Holder, the Custodian will promptly cause such Notes to be delivered
to such Holder by first-class mail (or by such other delivery method as such Holder and the Custodian shall agree). Upon the written request
of any future Holder of Physical Notes, the Custodian shall act in its capacity as such with respect to, and shall take and hold in accordance
with this Section 2.06(C), the Notes of such Holder.
(D) Co-Agents;
Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents and Conversion Agents. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars,
co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable,
under this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.06(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including
appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee
(and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate
to such Note Agent.
(E) Initial
Appointments. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.
Section 2.07. Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust.
The Company will require each
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while
any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property
held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)
will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion
Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other
property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or
Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent,
in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other
property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon
the occurrence of any event pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) with respect to
the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.
Section 2.08. Holder
Lists.
If
the Trustee is not the Registrar, then the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each
Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as
the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.
Section 2.09. Legends.
(A) [Reserved].
(B) Restricted
Note Legend. Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture,
(i) Each
Note that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will bear the Restricted Note Legend; and
(ii) If
a Note is issued in exchange for, in substitution of, or to effect a partial conversion of, another Note (such other Note being referred
to as the “old Note” for purposes of this Section 2.09(B)(ii)), including pursuant to 2.10(C), 2.11
or 2.13, then such Note will bear the Restricted Note Legend if such old Note bore the Restricted Note Legend at the time of such
exchange or substitution, or on the related Conversion Date with respect to such conversion, as applicable; provided, however,
that such Note need not bear the Restricted Note Legend if such Note does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after
such exchange or substitution, or as of such Conversion Date, as applicable.
(C) Other
Legends. A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.
(D) Acknowledgment
and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this Section 2.09
will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgment of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.
(E) Restricted
Stock Legend.
(i) Each
Conversion Share will bear the Restricted Stock Legend if the Note upon the conversion of which such Conversion Share was issued was (or
would have been had it not been converted) a Transfer-Restricted Security at the time such Conversion Share was issued; provided,
however, that such Conversion Share need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend if the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that such Conversion Share need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.09(E), a Conversion Share need not bear a Restricted Stock Legend if such Conversion
Share is issued in an uncertificated form that does not permit affixing legends thereto, provided the Company takes measures (including
the assignment thereto of a “restricted” CUSIP number) that it reasonably deems appropriate to enforce the transfer restrictions
referred to in the Restricted Stock Legend.
Section 2.10. Transfers
and Exchanges; Certain Transfer Restrictions.
(A) Provisions
Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
(i) Generally.
Subject to this Section 2.10, Physical Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record
each such transfer or exchange in the Register.
(ii) Transferred
and Exchanged Notes Remain Valid Obligations of the Company. Each Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other
Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(A)(ii)) or portion thereof in accordance
with this Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.
(iii) No
Services Charge; Transfer Taxes. The Company, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for
any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, but the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange
or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.17 or 8.05 not involving any transfer.
(iv) Transfers
and Exchanges Must Be in Authorized Denominations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, a Note
may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.
(v) Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions
imposed under this Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or
other documentation or evidence as expressly required by this Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as
to form with the requirements of this Indenture.
(vi) Legends.
Each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(vii) Settlement
of Transfers and Exchanges. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Note,
the Company will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second
(2nd) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction.
(viii) Interpretation.
For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms of this Indenture, as used in this Section 2.10, an “exchange”
of a Physical Note includes (x) an exchange effected for the sole purpose of removing any Restricted Note Legend affixed to such
Physical Note; and (y) if such Physical Note is identified by a “restricted” CUSIP number, an exchange effected for the
sole purpose of causing such Physical Note to be identified by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.
(B) [Reserved].
(C) Transfers
and Exchanges of Physical Notes.
(i) Requirements
for Transfers and Exchanges. Subject to this Section 2.10, a Holder of a Physical Note may (x) transfer such Physical
Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) to one or more other Person(s); and (y) exchange such Physical Note (or
any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) for one or more other Physical Notes in Authorized Denominations having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Physical Note (or portion thereof) to be so exchanged; provided,
however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must:
(1) surrender
such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments
reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; and
(2) deliver
such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to Section 2.10(D) and Section 2.10(F).
(ii) Effecting
Transfers and Exchanges. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Physical
Note (such Physical Note being referred to as the “old Physical Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(C)(ii))
of a Holder (or any portion of such old Physical Note in an Authorized Denomination):
(1) such
old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.15;
(2) if
such old Physical Note is to be so transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee
will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized
Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be so transferred
or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09;
(3) in
the case of a transfer:
(a) [reserved];
(b) to
a transferee that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or
more Physical Notes, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02,
one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by
Section 2.09; and
(4) in
the case of an exchange, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with
Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of the Person to whom such old Physical Note was
registered; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(D) Requirement
to Deliver Documentation and Other Evidence. If a Holder of any Note that is identified by a “restricted” CUSIP number
or that bears a Restricted Note Legend or is a Transfer-Restricted Security requests to:
(i) cause
such Note to be identified by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number;
(ii) remove
such Restricted Note Legend; or
(iii) register
the transfer of such Note to the name of another Person,
then the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar
may refuse to effect such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, unless there is delivered to the Company, the Trustee and
the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may reasonably require
for the Company to determine that such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, complies with the Securities Act and other
applicable securities laws.
(E) Certain
De-Legending Procedures. If a Holder of any Common Shares issued upon conversion of any Note, or in a global certificate representing
any Common Shares issued upon conversion of any Note, transfers such share in compliance with Rule 144 and delivers to the Company
a written request, certifying that it is not, and has not been at any time during the preceding three (3) months, an Affiliate of
the Company, to reissue such share without a Restricted Stock Legend, then the Company will cause the same to occur (and, if applicable,
cause such share to thereafter be represented by an “unrestricted” CUSIP or ISIN number in the facilities of the related depositary),
and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such occurrence within two (2) Trading Days of such request.
(F) Restrictions
Applicable to Transfers Between Regulation S Notes.
(i) Transfers
to Which Restrictions Apply. The following transfer will not be effected unless the requirements set forth in Section 2.10(F)(ii) are
satisfied with respect to such transfer: the transfer of a Physical Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Physical
Note, which is a Regulation S Note; and
(ii) Requirements
Applicable to Transfers. A transfer described in Section 2.10(F)(i) will not be effected unless:
(1) without
limiting the generality of Section 2.10(D), such transferor delivers to the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit C hereto, including the certification set forth in Item 3 thereof (if the transferee Note is a Regulation
S Note), or, in lieu thereof, such other certifications or documentation substantially to the same effect as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Company; and
(2) without
limiting the generality of Section 2.10(D), such transferee Person delivers to the Registrar, if reasonably requested by the
Company, a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto, or, in lieu thereof, such other certifications
or documentation substantially to the same effect as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(G) Transfers
of Notes Subject to Redemption, Repurchase or Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes,
the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that (i) has been
surrendered for conversion, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to conversion; (ii) is subject to a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 4.02(F), except to the extent
that any portion of such Note is not subject to such notice or the Company fails to pay the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
when due; or (iii) has been selected for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that any portion of such
Note is not subject to Redemption or the Company fails to pay the applicable Redemption Price when due.
Section 2.11. Exchange
and Cancellation of Notes to Be Converted or to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(A) Partial
Conversions of Physical Notes and Partial Repurchases of Physical Notes Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
If only a portion of a Physical Note of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to Article 5 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase
Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion
or repurchase, as applicable, the Company will cause such Physical Note to be exchanged, pursuant and subject to Section 2.10(C),
for (i) one or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, and deliver such Physical Note(s) to such
Holder; and (ii) a Physical Note having a principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable,
which Physical Note will be converted or repurchased, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture; provided, however,
that the Physical Note referred to in this clause (ii) need not be issued at any time after which such principal amount subject
to such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.18.
(B) Cancellation
of Notes that Are Converted and Notes that Are Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(i) Physical
Notes. If a Physical Note (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 2.11(A))
of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to Article 5 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption,
then, promptly after the later of the time such Physical Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.18
and the time such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will be cancelled
pursuant to Section 2.15; and (2) in the case of a partial conversion or repurchase, as applicable, the Company will
issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02,
one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable; (y) are registered in the name of such
Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
Section 2.12. [Reserved.]
Section 2.13. Replacement
Notes.
If a Holder of any Note claims
that such Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee
will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a replacement Note upon surrender to the Trustee of such
mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note, the Company and the Trustee may require the Holder
thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to protect the
Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.
Every replacement Note issued
pursuant to this Section 2.13 will be an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits
of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Notes issued under this Indenture, whether or not the lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken Note will at any time be enforceable by anyone.
Section 2.14. [Reserved].
Section 2.15. Cancellation.
The Company may at any time
deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Trustee each
Note duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered
to it in accordance with its customary procedures. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.03(B), the Company may not
originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer, exchange, payment or conversion.
Section 2.16. Notes
Held by the Company or its Affiliates.
Without limiting the generality
of Section 2.18, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver, consent or other action under this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed
not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying
on any such direction, waiver, consent or other action, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable, actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
Section 2.17. Temporary
Notes.
Until definitive Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02,
temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes. The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in
each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, each temporary
Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
Section 2.18. Outstanding
Notes.
(A) Generally.
The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated
(giving effect to, and as increased by, any payment of PIK Interest made thereon by issuing additional Notes by an amount equal to the
PIK Interest payable, rounded up to the nearest $1.00), excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled
by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.15; (ii) paid in full (including
upon conversion) in accordance with this Indenture; or (iii) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject
to, clause (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 2.18.
(B) Replaced
Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its
replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona
fide purchaser” under applicable law.
(C) Maturing
Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Subject to Repurchase. If, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or
the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each case due on such date, then (unless there
occurs a Default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature,
on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 4.02(D),
4.03(F) or 5.02(D); and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions thereof), as such, will
terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in
each case as provided in this Indenture.
(D) Notes
to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note
(or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(A) or
Section 5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D) or
Section 5.08.
(E) Cessation
of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Section 4.02(D), 4.03(F) or 5.02(D), interest will cease
to accrue on each Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.18, to cease to
be outstanding, unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.
Section 2.19. Repurchases
by the Company.
Without limiting the generality
of Section 2.15, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions
without delivering prior notice to Holders.
Section 2.20. CUSIP
and ISIN Numbers.
The Company may use one or
more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Notes, and, if so, the Company and the Trustee will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in
notices to Holders; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee makes no representation as to the correctness or accuracy
of any such CUSIP or ISIN number; and (ii) the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission
of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) identifying
any Notes.
Article 3. Covenants
Section 3.01. Payment
on Notes.
(A) Generally.
The Company will pay or cause to be paid all the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and Redemption Price for, interest
on, and other amounts due with respect to, the Notes on the dates and in the manner set forth in this Indenture.
(B) Deposit
of Funds. Before 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Interest Payment Date,
and on the Maturity Date or any other date on which any cash amount is due on the Notes, the Company will deposit, or will cause there
to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash, in funds immediately available on such date, sufficient to pay the cash amount due on the
applicable Notes on such date, and issue PIK Notes in certificated form, to pay any PIK Interest pursuant to a certificate of authentication
with respect to the PIK Interest to be issued on the applicable Interest Payment Date, when so becoming due and (unless such Paying Agent
is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action. The Paying Agent will return
to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for such purpose.
(C) PIK
Interest. PIK Interest will be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee has received a Company Order to authenticate
and deliver PIK Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such PIK Interest for original issuance to the Holders of
record on the relevant Record Date.
Section 3.02. Exchange
Act Reports.
(A) Generally.
The Company will send to the Trustee copies of all reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date that the Company is required to file the same (after giving
effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that the Company need not send to the
Trustee any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment by
the SEC. Any report that the Company files with the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be sent
to the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor). Upon the request of any Holder, the Trustee
will provide to such Holder a copy of any report that the Company has sent the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.02(A), other
than a report that is deemed to be sent to the Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(B) Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee need not determine whether the Company has filed any material via the EDGAR system (or such successor). The
sending or filing of reports pursuant to Section 3.02(A) will not be deemed to constitute actual or constructive notice
to the Trustee of any information contained, or determinable from information contained, therein, including the Company’s compliance
with any of its covenants under this Indenture.
Section 3.03. Rule 144A
Information.
If the Company is not subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act at any time when any Notes or Conversion Shares are outstanding and constitute “restricted

Interest.

registering the resale of the Conversion Shares (if any) (the “Registration Statement”) is not declared effective by

set forth in Section 7.03, accrue on any day on a Note at a combined rate per quarter that exceeds one percent (1.00%). For

be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company
is obligated to pay Additional Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Additional Interest that
is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable or the amount
thereof.

Extension and Usury Laws.

lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take

not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent by this
Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
Section 3.07. Acquisition
of Notes by the Company and its Affiliates.

for cancellation.

Subsidiaries will not incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with
respect to any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) senior
in right of payment or security to the Notes, other than (A) Non-Recourse Debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000
at any time outstanding, (B) Capitalized Lease Obligations and/or Purchase Money Obligations in an aggregate principal amount not
to exceed $5,000,000 at any time outstanding, (C) Qualified Asset Financing Facilities and (D) PFG Debt in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time outstanding; provided that, in each case of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), such

on Liens.
The Company will not, nor
will the Company permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any property or assets now

files and correspondence that, pursuant to applicable laws, are required to be maintained by any Subsidiary of the Company in Turkey)
for Permitted Liens.
Section 3.11. Collateral
and Security.
(A) Collateral
Agreements. The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall
be due and payable shall be secured (in the case of the Turkish Post-Closing Collateral, subject to the post-closing time period specified
in clause (B) below) by a valid and perfected first priority security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in the Collateral
as provided in the Collateral Agreements.
(B) Turkish
Guarantees and Collateral. No later than the date that is 120 days after the Issue Date (or such later date as the Lead Investor may
agree in its sole discretion), the Collateral Agent shall have received (i) Turkish Guarantees and the Notes from each Subsidiary
of the Company organized under Turkish law and (ii) all Turkish Security Instruments in respect of the Turkish Post-Closing Collateral,
in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lead Investor.
(C) Springing
Lien. Immediately upon the occurrence of the Springing Lien Trigger Date, (i) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries hereby
agrees that it will automatically be deemed to have granted to the Collateral Agent, on the date of such occurrence and without further
action of any party or other Person, as security for the Notes, a lien on and security interest in (the “Springing Lien”)
the Springing Lien Collateral and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver the Springing Lien Security Agreement
and such other Collateral Agreements, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lead Investor, and take or cause to be taken
such other actions, in each case, as shall be reasonably requested by the Lead Investor and necessary or desirable to vest in the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and perfected first priority security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens,
in the Springing Lien Collateral covered thereby to secure the Notes.
(D) Future
Guarantees and Collateral. If, after the Issue Date, the Company forms or acquires any new Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary that is not
then a Guarantor guarantees or incurs any other Indebtedness, then, in each case, no later than thirty (30) days thereafter the Company
shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a joinder to the applicable Guarantee pursuant to
which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor on the same terms and conditions as the other Guarantors and (ii) any and all Collateral
Agreements as may be necessary to cause its Issue Date Collateral or Springing Lien Collateral, as applicable, to be added to the Collateral,
and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the
same extent and with the same force and effect. A Guarantee’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any officer of a Guarantor
executing any such joinder on such Guarantor’s behalf to hold, at the time any Note is authenticated, the same or any other office
at such Guarantor, and each Guarantee will be valid and enforceable even if no notation, certificate or other instrument is set upon or
attached to, or otherwise executed and delivered to the Holder of, any Note.
(E) Recording.
The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, take or cause to be taken such actions as may be required by the Collateral Agreements,
to perfect, maintain (with the priority required under the Collateral Agreements), preserve and protect the valid and enforceable, perfected
(except as expressly provided herein or therein) security interests in and on all the Collateral granted by the Collateral Agreements
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security for the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes
and the Collateral Agreements, prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens, in each case other than Permitted
Liens; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement, the Company shall
not be required (i) to perfect the security interests and/or Liens granted by the Collateral Agreements by any means other than by
(1) filings pursuant to the UCC in the office of the secretary of state (or similar filing office) of the jurisdiction of incorporation
or formation of the Company, (2) filings in United States government offices with respect to registered and applied for Intellectual
Property arising under United States owned by the Company and (3) filing as and when required by the Turkish Security Instruments
and (ii) to complete any filings or other action with respect to the perfection of the security interests, including of any intellectual
property, created under the Collateral Agreements in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or Turkey. The Company shall from time
to time promptly pay all financing and continuation statement recording and/or filing fees, charges and recording and similar taxes relating
to this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements and any amendments hereto or thereto and any other instruments of further assurance required
pursuant hereto or thereto. The Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant
to the Collateral Agreements, and the Company will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be required by the provisions
of the Collateral Agreements to assure and confirm to the Trustee that the Collateral Agent holds for the benefit of the Secured Parties
duly created, enforceable and perfected Liens to the extent required by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, as from time to
time constituted.
(F) Further
Assurances. Promptly following written request by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Lead Investor which is received by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company and any its Subsidiaries will (1) correct any material defect or error that may be
discovered in any Collateral Agreement or Guarantee or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof, and (2) subject
to any post-closing periods provided herein or therein, do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register
and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as are necessary or that the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent or the Lead Investor may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out more effectively the
purposes of the Collateral Agreements and the Guarantees, (ii) maintain the validity and effectiveness of the Collateral Agreements,
the Guarantees and the Liens, including the perfection thereof, intended to be created thereunder and (iii) assure, convey, grant,
assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm more effectively unto the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the
principle rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under
any Collateral Agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to be a party, in each case, with respect to such actions
that are necessary or that the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Lead Investor determines are reasonable in order to achieve or maintain
the benefit intended to be conferred by such Collateral in relation to the costs and other resources reasonably associated with such actions.
(G) Release
of Collateral. Subject to the foregoing, Collateral may be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements at any time
or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreements or as provided herein.
(H) Specified
Releases of Collateral. Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements at any time or from time
to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreements or as provided in this Indenture. The Liens securing the Collateral
shall be automatically released without the need for further action by any Person under any one or more of the following circumstances:

part, as to any property that is sold, transferred, disbursed or otherwise disposed of by the Company in a transaction not prohibited
by this Indenture at the time of such sale, transfer, disbursement or disposition;
(ii) in
whole or in part, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with the provisions in Section 8.02;
and
(iii) in
part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Agreements.
Upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel confirming that all conditions precedent hereunder and under the Collateral Agreements have been satisfied
and any instruments or releases reasonably requested and prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent, without the consent of any Holder
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release from the
Liens created by the Collateral Agreements of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.
(I) Release
upon Satisfaction or Defeasance of all Secured Obligations. The Liens on all Collateral that secure the Notes shall be automatically
terminated and released without the need for further action by any Person:
(i) upon
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as described under Section 9.01; or
(ii) upon
payment in full in immediately available funds of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes (other
than inchoate or contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted).
Upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel confirming that all conditions precedent hereunder and under the Collateral Agreements have been satisfied
and any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release reasonably requested and prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent, without
the consent of any Holder and at the expense of the Company, shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence
the release from the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture
and the Collateral Agreements.
(J) Purchaser
Protected. No purchaser or grantee of any property or rights purported to have been released from the Lien of the Collateral Agreements
shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the existence of any conditions
herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority; nor shall any purchaser or grantee of any property or rights permitted by this Indenture
to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Subsidiary be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority
of the Company or such Subsidiary to make such sale or other disposition.
(K) Authorization
of Actions to be Taken by Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agreements. Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes, appoints
U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as Collateral Agent and consents to the terms of, directs and agrees that the Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver the Collateral Agreements to which it is a party, and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental
thereto, binding the Holders thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall
have no discretion under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements and whenever reference is made in this Indenture to any action by,
consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given
or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion,
acceptance, use of judgment, expression or satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made)
by the Collateral Agent, it is understood in all cases that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make or give and shall be fully
protected in not making or giving any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders
of at least 50.1% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes, the Trustee or the Company, as applicable. This provision is
intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle
the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. Further, the Collateral
Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders,
unless such Holder shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Collateral Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent against any loss, cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by the Collateral Agent in compliance with such direction or
request and then only to the extent required by the terms. No provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements shall require the
Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder
or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders
or the Trustee if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to
commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has
determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral
or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount
and in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The
Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any
indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient. So long as an Event of Default is not continuing,
the Company may direct the Collateral Agent in writing in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Collateral
Agreements. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, or the requisite Holders pursuant to Section 7.06, may direct
the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements. The Collateral
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice from the Trustee, a Holder or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 50.1% in aggregate principal amount
of then outstanding Notes subject to this Section 3.11.
(L) Authorization
of Receipt of Funds by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agreements. The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds
for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties distributed under the Collateral Agreements and, to the extent distributed in accordance
with the terms of the Collateral Agreements, to make further distributions of such funds (to which the Holders are entitled under the
Collateral Agreements) to the Trustee for application in accordance with the Indenture. Such funds may be held on deposit by the Trustee
without investment prior to such distribution and the Trustee will have no liability for interest or other compensation thereon. Without
any limitation to any other rights or remedies of whatever kind or nature the Collateral Agent may have (whether under the Collateral
Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise), and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof).
(M) Action
by the Collateral Agent. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as
to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation
of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the
Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent
in good faith and with reasonable care. Neither the Trustee nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for (i) the existence, genuineness
or value of any of the Collateral; (ii) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens intended to be created
by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action
or omission to act on its part hereunder (except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Collateral Agent (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction)); (iii) the
sufficiency of the Collateral; (iv) the validity of the title of the Company to any of the Collateral; (v) insuring the Collateral;
(vi) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order
of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (vii) any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or any officer or Affiliate thereof, contained in this Indenture or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture.
The Company shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Collateral and for the payment of taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to file financing statements or continuation
statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created and described herein (except for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it under this Indenture or the Collateral
Agreements) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Company. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the
Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Indenture or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
(N) Compensation
and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Collateral Agent from time to time compensation as shall be agreed to in writing by the
Company and the Collateral Agent for its acceptance of this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements and services hereunder. The Company shall
reimburse the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred or made by it in connection with Collateral Agent’s duties under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements,
including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel, except any disbursement,
advance or expense as may be attributable to the Collateral Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company shall indemnify
the Collateral Agent and any predecessor Collateral Agent and each of their agents, employees, officers and directors for, and hold them
harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Collateral
Agent and any environmental liabilities) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties
under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, including, without limitation (i) any claim relating to the grant to the Collateral
Agent of any Lien in any property or assets of the Company and (ii) the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and the Collateral
Agreements against the Company (including this Section 3.11) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted
by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense shall have been determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been attributable to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Collateral Agent shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. At the Collateral Agent’s
sole discretion, the Company shall defend any claim or threatened claim asserted against the Collateral Agent, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall cooperate in the defense at the Company’s expense. The Collateral
Agent may have one separate U.S. counsel (and one separate foreign counsel in each applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction) and the Company shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, immunities and protections of the
Trustee set forth in this Indenture whether or not expressly stated therein, including but not limited to the right to be compensated,
reimbursed and indemnified under Section 11.06, in the acceptance, execution, delivery and performance of the Collateral Agreements
as though fully set forth therein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture or the Collateral
Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Indenture or
the Collateral Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Company, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between independent contracting parties. The obligations of the Company under this Section 3.11 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the resignation, removal or replacement of the Collateral Agent.
Section 3.12. [Reserved].
Section 3.13. Limitation

any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement (and any successor plans
and arrangements thereto) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any principal and interest payable on any notes issued by the Company
in connection with any such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition), or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement; provided
that (1) Restricted Payments made to any present employee and any present or former director, officer or consultant (or the estate,

to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment

Sales.
The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries will not Dispose of any asset, including any Capital Stock owned by it (other than to the Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary),
unless (i) the Company and/or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such asset sale at least
equal to the fair market value of the assets and property subject to such asset sale (such fair market value to be determined on the date
of contractually agreeing to effect such asset sale) and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Company and/or such Subsidiary
from such asset sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of any Designated Non-Cash Consideration
received by the Company and/or such Subsidiary in such asset sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other
Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 3.14 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) seven million and five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000) and (y) an amount equal to 2.5% of Consolidated
Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated
Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall be deemed to
be cash for this purpose.
Article 4. Repurchase
and Redemption
Section 4.01. No
Sinking Fund.
No sinking fund is required
to be provided for the Notes.
Section 4.02. Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes Upon a Fundamental Change.
(A) Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 4.02,
if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder will have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) to
require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(B) Repurchase
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. If the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been
rescinded on or before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change (including as a result of the payment
of the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and any related interest pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.02(D),
on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), then (i) the Company may not repurchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.02;
and (ii) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be returned to the
Holders thereof.
(C) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day of the Company’s
choosing that is no more than thirty five (35), nor less than twenty (20), Business Days after the date the Company sends the related
Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 4.02(E).
(D) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change following a Fundamental Change is an amount in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Note, plus 101% of the accrued
and unpaid PIK Interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change, plus accrued
and unpaid Cash Interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change; provided,
however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment
Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such
Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid
Cash Interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes,
that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is before such Interest
Payment Date); and (ii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will not include accrued and unpaid Cash Interest on such Note to,
but excluding, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day
within the meaning of Section 2.05(F) and such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs on the Business Day immediately
after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid Cash Interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date
will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(F), on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will include Cash Interest on Notes to be repurchased
from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(E) Fundamental
Change Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company will send
to each Holder, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent a notice of such Fundamental Change (a “Fundamental Change
Notice”).
Such Fundamental Change Notice
must state:
(i) briefly,
the events causing such Fundamental Change;
(ii) the
effective date of such Fundamental Change;
(iii) the
procedures that a Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase its Notes pursuant to this Section 4.02, including
the deadline for exercising the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the procedures for submitting and withdrawing a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice;
(iv) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change;
(v) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Fundamental Change (and, if such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest
payment payable pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.02(D));
(vi) the
name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(vii) the
Conversion Rate in effect on the date of such Fundamental Change Notice and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the
Conversion Rate that may result from such Fundamental Change (including pursuant to Section 5.07);
(viii) that
Notes for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been duly tendered and not duly withdrawn must be delivered to the Paying Agent
for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(ix) that
Notes (or any portion thereof) that are subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that has been duly tendered may be converted
only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture; and
(x) the
CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.
Neither the failure to deliver
a Fundamental Change Notice nor any defect in a Fundamental Change Notice will limit the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right of any Holder
or otherwise affect the validity of any proceedings relating to any Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.
(F) Procedures
to Exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.
(i) Delivery
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and Notes to Be Repurchased. To exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right for a Note
following a Fundamental Change, the Holder thereof must deliver to the Paying Agent:
(1) before
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or such later time as may
be required by law), a duly completed, written Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note; and
(2) such
Note, duly endorsed for transfer.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver
to the Company a copy of each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that it receives.
(ii) Contents
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notices. Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note must state:
(1) the
certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be repurchased, which must be an Authorized Denomination; and
(3) that
such Holder is exercising its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to such principal amount of such Note.
(iii) Withdrawal
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Holder that has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note
may withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time before
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or such later time as may
be required by law). Such withdrawal notice must state:
(1) if
such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be withdrawn, which must be an Authorized Denomination; and
(3) the
principal amount of such Note, if any, that remains subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be an Authorized
Denomination.
Upon receipt of any such withdrawal
notice with respect to a Note (or any portion thereof), the Paying Agent will (x) promptly deliver a copy of such withdrawal notice
to the Company; and (y) if such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent, cause such Note (or such portion thereof in accordance with
Section 2.11, treating such Note as having been then surrendered for partial repurchase in the amount set forth in such withdrawal
notice as remaining subject to repurchase) to be returned to the Holder thereof.
(G) Payment
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price within the time proscribed by Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for a
Note (or portion thereof) to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before
the later of (i) the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and (ii) the date such Note is delivered to the Paying Agent.
For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.02(D) on any
Note to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change must be paid pursuant to such proviso regardless of whether such
Note is delivered pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.02(G).
(H) Third
Party May Conduct Repurchase Offer In Lieu of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02,
the Company will be deemed to satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.02 if one or more third parties conduct any Repurchase
Upon Fundamental Change and related offer to repurchase Notes otherwise required by this Section 4.02 in a manner that would
have satisfied the requirements of this Section 4.02 if conducted directly by the Company, including with respect to price.
(I) No
Requirement to Conduct an Offer to Repurchase Notes if the Fundamental Change Results in the Notes Becoming Convertible into an Amount
of Cash Exceeding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02,
the Company will not be required to send a Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 4.02(E), or offer to repurchase or
repurchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.02, in connection with a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause
(B)(ii) (or pursuant to clause (A) that also constitutes a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause (B)(ii))
of the definition thereof, if (i) such Fundamental Change constitutes a Common Share Change Event whose Reference Property consists
entirely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the Notes become convertible, pursuant to Section 5.09(A) and,
if applicable, Section 5.07, into consideration that consists solely of U.S. dollars in an amount per $1,000 aggregate principal
amount of Notes that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (calculated
assuming that the same includes the maximum amount of accrued interest payable as part of the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price);
and (iii) the Company timely sends the notice relating to such Common Share Change Event required pursuant to Section 5.09(B) and
includes, in such notice, the information set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (vi), (vii) and (x) of
Section 4.02(E) and a statement that the Company is relying on this Section 4.02(I).
(J) Compliance
with Applicable Securities Laws. To the extent applicable, the Company will comply, in all material respects, with all federal and
state securities laws in connection with a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change (including complying with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and filing any required Schedule TO, to the extent applicable) so as to permit effecting such Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change in the manner set forth in this Indenture; provided, however, that, to the extent that the Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 4.02 conflict with any law or regulation that is applicable to the Company and enacted after the
Issue Date, the Company’s compliance with such law or regulation will not be considered to be a Default of such obligations.
(K) Repurchase
in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 4.02, Notes may be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions of this Section 4.02 applying to the repurchase of a Note
in whole will equally apply to the repurchase of a permitted portion of a Note.
Section 4.03. Right
of the Company to Redeem the Notes.
(A) No
Right to Redeem Before August 7, 2026. The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option at any time before August 7,
2026.
(B) Right
to Redeem the Notes on or After August 7, 2026. Subject to the terms of this Section 4.03, the Company has the right,
at its election, to redeem all, or any portion (subject to the Partial Redemption Limitation described in Section 4.03(C))
in an Authorized Denomination, of the Notes, at any time, and from time to time, on a Redemption Date on or after August 7, 2026,
for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price, but only if (1) the Last Reported Sale Price per Common Share exceeds the
Optional Redemption Trigger, in each case, on (x) each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the
thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date for such
Redemption; and (y) the Trading Day immediately before such Redemption Notice Date and (2) the Liquidity Conditions have been
satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the calling of any Notes for Redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect
to such Notes pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof.
(C) Partial
Redemption Limitation. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000)
aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to Redemption as of the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption
(such requirement, the “Partial Redemption Limitation”).
(D) Redemption
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. If the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been
rescinded on or before the Redemption Date (including as a result of the payment of the related Redemption Price, and any related interest
pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F), on such Redemption Date), then (i) the Company may
not call for Redemption or otherwise redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03; and (ii) the Company will cause
any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Redemption to be returned to the Holders thereof.
(E) Redemption
Date. The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more sixty (60), nor
less than thirty (30), calendar days, Scheduled Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.
(F) Redemption
Price. The Redemption Price for any Note called for Redemption is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such Note plus
accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Redemption; provided, however, that if such Redemption
Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close
of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election,
before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date
(assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date
is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Redemption Price will not include accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to,
but excluding, such Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning
of Section 2.05(F) and such Redemption Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date,
then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(F),
on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption
Price will include interest on Notes to be redeemed from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(G) Redemption
Notice. To call any Notes for Redemption, the Company must send to each Holder of such Notes, a written notice of such Redemption
(a “Redemption Notice”).
Such Redemption Notice must
state:
(i) that
such Notes have been called for Redemption, briefly describing the Company’s Redemption right under this Indenture;
(ii) the
Redemption Date for such Redemption;
(iii) the
Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date
and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F));
(iv) the
name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(v) that
Notes called for Redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Redemption
Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company
pays such Redemption Price in full);
(vi) the
Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption and a description and quantification of any adjustments to
the Conversion Rate that may result from such Redemption (including pursuant to Section 5.07); and
(vii) the
CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.
On or before the Redemption
Notice Date, the Company will send a copy of such Redemption Notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent.
(H) Selection
and Conversion of Notes to Be Redeemed in Part.
(i) If
less than all Notes then outstanding are called for Redemption, then the Notes to be redeemed will be selected as follows: pro rata, by
lot or by such other method the Company considers fair and appropriate.
(ii) If
only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is converted in part, then the converted portion of such Note will be
deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to Redemption.
(I) Payment
of the Redemption Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price by the time proscribed by
Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid
to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must be paid pursuant
to such proviso.
(J) Special
Provisions for Partial Calls. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03,
and the Holder of any Note is reasonably not able to determine, before the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) calendar day immediately
before the Redemption Date for such Redemption, whether such Note, is to be redeemed pursuant to such Redemption, then any conversion
of such Note with a Conversion Date occurring on or before Business Day immediately before such Redemption Date will be deemed to be of
a Note called for Provisional Redemption for purposes of this Section 4.03 and Section 5.07, and the definition
of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change.”
Article 5. Conversion
Section 5.01. Right
to Convert.
(A) Generally.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, each Holder may, at its option, convert such Holder’s Notes into Conversion
Consideration.
(B) Conversions
in Part. Subject to the terms of this Indenture, Notes may be converted in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions
of this Article 5 applying to the conversion of a Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of a permitted portion of
a Note.
(C) When
Notes May Be Converted.
(i) Generally.
A Holder may convert its Notes at any time until the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the
Maturity Date; provided that if a Holder elects to convert its Notes in an aggregate principal amount of less than five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000), then the Conversion Date for such Notes shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month in which the
requirements set forth in Section 5.02(A) to convert such Notes are satisfied. Notwithstanding any earlier satisfaction
of the requirements set forth in Section 5.02(A), the Conversion Date hereunder shall be the last Business Day of the calendar
month in which the requirements set forth in Section 5.02(A) to convert such Notes are satisfied for all purposes.
(ii) Limitations
and Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes:
(1) Notes
may be surrendered for conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day;
(2) in
no event may any Note be converted after the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity
Date;
(3) if
the Company calls any Note for Redemption pursuant to Section 4.03, then the Holder of such Note may not convert such Note
after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the applicable Redemption Date, except to the extent the Company fails
to pay the Redemption Price for such Note in accordance with this Indenture; and
(4) if
a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(F) with respect to any Note, then
such Note may not be converted, except to the extent (a) such Note is not subject to such notice; (b) such notice is withdrawn
in accordance with Section 4.02(F); or (c) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such
Note in accordance with this Indenture (or a third party fails to make such payment in lieu of the Company in accordance with the provisions
described in Section 4.02(H)).
(D) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. A Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of its Notes, to the extent that, after giving effect
to the conversion set forth on the applicable conversion notice (a “Conversion Notice”), such Holder (together with
such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such
Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates
and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (or portion thereof) with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which are issuable upon (i) conversion of
the remaining, unconverted Notes beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise
or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Notes) beneficially owned by such Holder
or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.01(D),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5.01(D) applies, the determination
of whether the Notes are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution
Parties) and the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission
of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Notes identified therein may be converted
(in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and the aggregate principal
amount of Notes that are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent each time it delivers a Conversion Notice
that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company, the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5.01(D), in determining the number of outstanding Common
Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s
most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder (which may be via email), the Company shall, within two Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such
Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall initially be 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Notes (or portion thereof) held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon notice to the Company, the Trustee
and the Conversion Agent, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5.01(D) applicable
to its Notes provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 5.01(D) shall
continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 5.01(D) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Notes. Under no circumstances shall
the Trustee or the Conversion Agent have any obligation to monitor the ownership of Common Share of any Holder or beneficial owner of
the Common Share or identify any beneficial owner of the Notes, or otherwise make any determination, monitor or otherwise take any action
with respect to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.01.
Section 5.02. Conversion
Procedures.
(A) Generally.
(i) [Reserved].
(ii) Physical
Notes. To convert all or a portion of a Physical Note, the Holder of such Note must (1) complete, manually sign and deliver to
the Conversion Agent the conversion notice attached to such Physical Note or a facsimile of such conversion notice; (2) deliver such
Physical Note to the Conversion Agent (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); (3) furnish any endorsements and transfer
documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require; and (4) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 5.02(D) or
Section 5.02(E).
(B) Effect
of Converting a Note. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note
(or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(A) or
5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed
to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided
in Section 5.02(D).
(C) Holder
of Record of Conversion Shares. The Person in whose name any Common Shares are issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed
to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(D) Interest
Payable Upon Conversion in Certain Circumstances. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next
Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding
such conversion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on
or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but
excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest
Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion must deliver to the Conversion Agent, at the time of such
surrender, an amount of cash equal to the amount of all accrued but unpaid interest (including Cash Interest and PIK Interest) on such
Notes as referred to in clause (i) above; provided, however, that the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion
need not deliver such cash (v) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before
the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (w) if such Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately
before the Maturity Date; (x) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record
Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; or (y) to the extent of any overdue interest
or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of, and without limiting the generality
of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity
Date, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity
Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of
such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive,
on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such
Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.02(D).
(E) Taxes
and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due
on the issue or delivery of any Common Shares upon such conversion; provided, however, that if any tax or duty is due because
such Holder requested such shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name, then such Holder will pay such tax or
duty and, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax or duty, the Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver any such shares to
be issued in a name other than that of such Holder.
(F) Conversion
Agent to Notify Company of Conversions. If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives
any notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence,
together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion
Date for such Note.
Section 5.03. Settlement
Upon Conversion.
(A) Conversion
Consideration.
(i) Generally.
Subject to Sections 5.03(A)(ii) and 5.03(A)(iii), the type and amount of consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”)
due in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of a Note to be converted will be a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate
in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion:
(ii) Cash
in Lieu of Fractional Shares. If the number of Common Shares deliverable pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i) upon conversion
of any Note is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in
addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product
of (1) such fraction and (2) the Last Reported Sale Price per Common Share on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if
such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).
(iii) Conversion
of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder converts more than one (1) Note on a single Conversion Date, then the Conversion
Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion
Date by such Holder.
(B) Delivery
of the Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in Sections 5.05(E) and 5.09, the Company will pay or issue,
as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately
after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(C) Deemed
Payment of Principal and Interest; Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note, then the
Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and, except as provided in Section 5.02(D),
the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge
the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion
Date. As a result, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), any accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Note will be deemed
to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
Section 5.04. Reserve
and Status of Common Share Issued Upon Conversion.
(A) Stock
Reserve. At all times when any Notes are outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding Common Shares
that are not reserved for other purposes) 120% of a number of Common Shares as may from time to time be issuable upon conversion of the
Notes in accordance with its terms and conditions, assuming the Conversion Rate is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the
Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to Section 5.07. To the extent the Company transfers Common Shares held in its treasury
in settlement of the conversion of any Notes, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the issuance of Common Shares in connection
therewith will be deemed to include such transfer, mutatis mutandis.
(B) Status
of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each Conversion Share delivered upon conversion of any Note will be a newly issued or treasury share
(except that any Conversion Share delivered by a designated financial institution pursuant to Section 5.08 need not be a newly
issued or treasury share) and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free
of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder of such
Note or the Person to whom such Conversion Share will be delivered). If the Common Shares are then listed on any securities exchange,
or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Conversion Share,
when delivered upon conversion of any Note, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.
Section 5.05. Adjustments
to the Conversion Rate.
(A) On
each Reset Date, the Conversion Rate will be reset to the applicable Reset Conversion Rate.
(B) Events
Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(i) Stock
Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially
all Common Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or a share consolidation of the Common Share (in each case excluding an issuance
solely pursuant to a Common Share Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted
based on the following formula:
where:
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate
in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before
the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or a share consolidation, as applicable; |
|
|
|
|
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable; |
|
|
|
|
|
OS0 |
= |
the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect
to such dividend, distribution, share split or a share consolidation; and |
|
|
|
|
|
OS1 |
= |
the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or a share consolidation. |
If any dividend, distribution, share
split or a share consolidation of the type described in this Section 5.05(B)(i) is declared or announced, but not so
paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such
dividend or distribution or to effect such share split or a share consolidation, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had
such dividend, distribution, share split or a share consolidation not been declared or announced.
(ii) Rights,
Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares, rights, options or warrants
(other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(B)(iii)(1) and
5.05(G) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the date such distribution
is announced, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the
date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| OS | = |
the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| X | = |
the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| Y | = |
a number of Common Shares obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the
Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. |
To the extent such rights, options or
warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase
to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed.
In addition, to the extent that Common Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as
a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number
of Common Shares actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.
For purposes of this Section 5.05(B)(ii),
in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at
a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading
Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced,
and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration
the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration,
if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(iii) Spin-Offs
and Other Distributed Property.
(1) Distributions
Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property
of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all
holders of the Common Share, excluding:
(u) dividends,
distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard
to Section 5.05(D)) pursuant to Section 5.05(B)(i) or 5.05(B)(ii);
(v) dividends
or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard
to Section 5.05(D)) pursuant to Section 5.05(B)(iv);
(w) rights
issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5.05(G);
(x) Spin-Offs
for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5.05(D)) pursuant
to Section 5.05(B)(iii)(2);
(y) a
distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Shares, as to which Section 5.05(B)(v) will
apply; and
(z) a
distribution solely pursuant to a Common Share Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply,
then the Conversion Rate will be increased
based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP | = |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and |
| FMV | = |
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness,
assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per Common Share pursuant to such distribution; |
provided,
however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion
Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the Record Date for such distribution,
at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of Capital
Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had
owned, on such Record Date, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such Record Date.
To the extent such distribution is not
so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made
on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
For purposes of this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1) (and
subject to Section 5.05(G)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Shares entitling
them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Shares (either initially or under certain
circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):
(x) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (y) are not exercisable; and (z) are also issued in respect of
future issuances of Common Shares, will be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1) (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1) will be required) until the occurrence of the
earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants will be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment
(if any is required) to the Conversion Rate will be made pursuant to this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1). If any such right, option
or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed before the Issue Date, are subject to events, upon the
occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or
other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event will be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend
Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case, the existing rights, options or warrants will be
deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution
(or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately
preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to
the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1) was made, (x) in the case of any such rights, options
or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase
(I) the Conversion Rate will be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued; and (II) the Conversion
Rate will then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though
it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with
respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders
of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase; and (y) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that have
expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted as if such rights, options
and warrants had not been issued.
(2) Spin-Offs.
If the Company distributes or dividends Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate,
a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares (other than solely pursuant
to (x) a Common Share Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer
for Common Shares, as to which Section 5.05(B)(v) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed
or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”),
then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| CR0 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such
Spin-Off; |
| CR1 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period; |
| FMV | = |
the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed
in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning
on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Common Share in the definitions
of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests);
and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per Common Share in such Spin-Off; and |
| SP | = |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(2), if the Conversion Date for a Note to be converted occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period
for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation
Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off
to, and including, such Conversion Date.
To the extent any dividend or distribution
of the type set forth in this Section 5.05(B)(iii)(2) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted
to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if
any, actually made or paid.
(iv) Cash
Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares, then
the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP | = |
the Last Reported Sale Price per Common Share on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and |
| D | = |
the cash amount distributed per Common Share in such dividend or distribution; |
provided,
however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate,
each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution,
at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such
Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect
on such Record Date.
To the extent such dividend or distribution
is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment
been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(v) Tender
Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer
for Common Shares (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act),
and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per Common Share
in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per Common Share on the Trading Day immediately after the last date
(the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it
may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation
Period for such tender or exchange offer; |
| CR1 | = |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation
Period; |
| AC | = |
the aggregate value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires by the
Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid or payable for Common Shares purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange
offer; |
| OS0 | = |
the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all Common Shares accepted for purchase or
exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| OS1 | = |
the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all Common Shares accepted for purchase or exchange
in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| SP | = |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange
Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date; |
provided,
however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 5.05(B)(v), except to
the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(B)(v),
if the Conversion Date for a Note to be converted occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange
offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation
Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the
Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.
To the extent such tender or exchange
offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange
offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of Common Shares in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion
Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases
or exchanges of Common Shares, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
(C) No
Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(i) Where
Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.05(A),
the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment
pursuant to Section 5.05(A) (other than a share split or share consolidation of the type set forth in Section 5.05(B)(i) or
a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 5.05(B)(v)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and
on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having
to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the Conversion
Rate in effect on the related Record Date; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such
Holder on such date.
(ii) Certain
Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 5.05 or Section 5.07.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
(1) except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.05, the sale of Common Shares for a purchase price that is less than the market price Common
Share or less than the Conversion Price;
(2) the
issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on
the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any such plan;
(3) the
issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant
benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(4) the
issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding
as of the Issue Date;
(5) solely
a change in the par value of the Common Share; or
(6) accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes.
(D) If
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Article 5 would result in a change of less than one percent
(1%) to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, the Company may, at its election,
defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following:
(i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate; (ii) the
Conversion Date of any Note; (iii) the effective date of a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and
(iv) the date the Company calls any Notes for Redemption.
(E) Adjustments
Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:
(i) a
Note is to be converted;
(ii) the
Record Date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) has
occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become
effective as of such Conversion Date;
(iii) the
Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Common Shares; and
(iv) such
shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related Record Date or otherwise),
then, solely for purposes of such conversion,
the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the
Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such
adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after
such first date.
(F) Conversion
Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Indenture or the Notes, if:
(i) a
Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5.05(A);
(ii) a
Note is to be converted;
(iii) the
Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date;
(iv) the
Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Common Shares based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such
dividend or distribution; and
(v) such
shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5.02(C)),
then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment
will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion
Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration
otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution
with respect to such Common Shares had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
(G) Stockholder
Rights Plans. If any Common Shares are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has
in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with
the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such
stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Shares at such time, in which case, and only in such case,
the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the
time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common
Shares, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5.05(B)(iii)(1).
(H) Limitation
on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event
that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A) or Section 5.07 to an amount
that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Share being less than the par value per share of Common Share.
(I) Equitable
Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices or
the Daily VWAPs, over a span of multiple days (including to calculate the Stock Price or an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company
will make appropriate adjustments to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or
any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable,
of such event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices or the Daily VWAPs are to be calculated.
(J) Calculation
of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Share. For purposes of Section 5.05(A), the number of Common Shares outstanding
at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares; and (ii) exclude
Common Shares held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on Common Shares held
in its treasury).
(K) Calculations.
All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a Common Share
(with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(L) Notice
of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A),
the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of
the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after
such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
Section 5.06. Voluntary
Adjustments.
(A) Generally.
To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase
the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is either (x) in the best interest
of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common
Shares as a result of any dividend or distribution of (or rights to acquire) Common Shares or any similar event; (ii) such increase
is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (iii) such increase is irrevocable during such period.
(B) Notice
of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.06(A),
then, at least fifteen (15) Business Days before such increase, the Company will send notice to each Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.
Section 5.07. Adjustments
to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(A) Generally.
If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental
Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 5.07, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased
by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as
provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change:

If such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:
(i) if
such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates
in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional
Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on
a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and
(ii) if
the Stock Price is greater than $37.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings
of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 5.07(B)), or less than $10.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner),
per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 99.999991 Common
Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for
the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).
For the avoidance of doubt,
but subject to Section 4.03(J), (x) the sending of a Redemption Notice will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change
only with respect to the Notes called for Provisional Redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice, and not with respect to any other
Notes; and (y) the Conversion Rate applicable to the Notes not so called for Provisional Redemption will not be subject to increase
pursuant to this Section 5.07 on account of such Redemption Notice.
(B) Adjustment
of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table
set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for
which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 5.05(A). The numbers of Additional Shares
in the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same
events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).
(C) Notice
of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs pursuant to clause (A) of
the definition thereof, then, promptly and in no event later than the Business Day immediately after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change
Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the
occurrence of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, briefly stating the circumstances
under which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to this Section 5.07 in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurring pursuant
to clause (B) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 4.03(G).
Section 5.08. Exchange
in Lieu of Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Article 5, and subject to the terms of this Section 5.08, if a Note is submitted for conversion,
the Company may elect to arrange to have such Note exchanged in lieu of conversion by a financial institution designated by the Company.
To make such election, the Company must send notice of such election to the Holder of such Note, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Note. If the Company has made such
election, then:
(A) no
later than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, the Company must deliver (or cause the Conversion Agent to deliver)
such Note, together with delivery instructions for the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion (including wire instructions,
if applicable), to a financial institution designated by the Company that has agreed to deliver such Conversion Consideration in the manner
and at the time the Company would have had to deliver the same pursuant to this Article 5; and
(B) such
Note will not cease to be outstanding by reason of such exchange in lieu of conversion;
provided,
however, that if such financial institution does not accept such Note or fails to timely deliver such Conversion Consideration,
then the Company will be responsible for delivering such Conversion Consideration in the manner and at the time provided in this Article 5
as if the Company had not elected to make an exchange in lieu of conversion.
Section 5.09. Effect
of Common Share Change Event.
(A) Generally.
If there occurs any:
(i) recapitalization,
reclassification or change of the Common Share (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the
Common Share, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) share splits
and share consolidations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
(ii) consolidation,
merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;
(iii) sale,
lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person,
other than transfers to, from, between or among the Company and/or one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that has provided a guarantee
of the Company’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; or
(iv) other
similar event,
and, as a result of which, the Common Shares are
converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination
of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Share Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference
Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) Common Share would be entitled to receive
on account of such Common Share Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of
any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Indenture or the Notes,
(1) from
and after the effective time of such Common Share Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note,
will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Common Shares in this Article 5 (or in any related
definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 4.03(B),
each reference to any number of Common Shares in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference
to the same number of Reference Property Units; (III) for purposes of the definition of “Record Date,” the term “Common
Share” will be deemed to refer to any class of securities forming part of such Reference Property; and (IV) for purposes of
the definitions of “Fundamental Change” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” references to “Common Share”
and the Company’s “Common Equity” will be deemed to refer to the Common Equity (including depositary receipts representing
Common Equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property;
(2) if
such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Company will pay the cash due in respect of all conversions whose Conversion
Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Share Change Event no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after
the relevant Conversion Date; and
(3) for
these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities
will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner by the Board of Directors of the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).
If the Reference Property
consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition
of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received,
per Common Share, by the holders of Common Shares. The Company will notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such weighted
average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
At or before the effective
time of such Common Share Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common
Share Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant
to Section 8.01(F), which supplemental indenture will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set
forth in this Section 5.09; (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) in
a manner consistent with this Section 5.09; and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably
determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.09(A).
If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor
Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain such additional
provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to protect the interests of the Holders.
(B) Notice
of Common Share Change Events. The Company will provide notice of each Common Share Change Event to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of such Common Share Change Event.
(C) Compliance
Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Share Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.09.
Article 6. Successors
Section 6.01. When
the Company May Merge, Etc.
(A) Generally.
The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell,
lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:
(i) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor
Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District
of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination
Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(E)) all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and
the Notes; and
(ii) immediately
after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
(B) Delivery
of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. Before the effective time of any Business Combination Event,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
(i) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) complies with Section 6.01(A);
and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.
Section 6.02. Successor
Corporation Substituted.
At the effective time of any
Business Combination Event that complies with Section 6.01, the Successor Corporation will succeed to, and may exercise every
right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named
as the Company in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.
Section 6.03. Exclusion
for Certain Asset Transfers.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 6, this Article 6 will not apply to any transfer of assets between
or among the Company and any one or more of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that has provided a guarantee of the Company’s obligations
in respect of this Indenture and the Notes and that is not effected by merger or consolidation.

Company’s Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created, where such default:

Agreements, as applicable, or (b) is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) the Company
or any Guarantor contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any material provision of this Indenture, any Guarantee, or any

cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
Section 7.02. Acceleration.
(A) Automatic
Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(ix) or 7.01(A)(x) occurs
with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the principal amount of, and
all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action
or notice by any Person.
(B) Optional
Acceleration. Subject to Section 7.03, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(ix) or
7.01(A)(x) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and
is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid
interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.
(C) Rescission
of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration
of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely
because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.
Section 7.03. Sole
Remedy for a Failure to Report.
(A) Generally.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default
(a “Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to Section 7.01(A)(vii) arising from the Company’s
failure to comply with Section 3.02 will, for each of the first one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days on which a Reporting
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consist exclusively of the accrual of Special Interest on the Notes. If the Company has
made such an election, then (i) the Notes will be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 7.02 on account of the
relevant Reporting Event of Default from, and including, the one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day on which a Reporting
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company fails to pay any accrued and unpaid Special Interest when due; and (ii) Special
Interest will cease to accrue on any Notes from, and including, such one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day (it
being understood that interest on any defaulted Special Interest will nonetheless accrue pursuant to Section 2.05(B)).
(B) Amount
and Payment of Special Interest. Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 7.03(A) will be
payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the PIK Interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one half
of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that in no event will Special Interest payable
at the Company’s election for its failure to comply with its reporting obligations as set forth in Section 3.02(A),
together with any Additional Interest that may accrue as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file any document or report
that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than reports
on Form 8-K) pursuant to Section 3.04(A), accrue on any day on a Note at a combined rate per quarter that exceeds one
percent (1.00%). For the avoidance of doubt, any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that
accrues on such Note and, subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, in addition to any Additional Interest that accrues
on such Note.
(C) Notice
of Election. To make the election set forth in Section 7.03(A), the Company must send to the Holders, the Trustee and
the Paying Agent before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs, a notice that (i) briefly describes the report(s) that
the Company failed to file with the SEC; (ii) states that the Company is electing that the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of
Default consist of the accrual of Special Interest; and (iii) briefly describes the periods during which and rate at which Special
Interest will accrue and the circumstances under which the Notes will be subject to acceleration on account of such Reporting Event of
Default.
(D) Notice
to Trustee and Paying Agent; Trustee’s Disclaimer. If Special Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business
Days before each date on which such Special Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee
and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Special Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and
(ii) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether
any Special Interest is payable or the amount thereof.
(E) No
Effect on Other Events of Default. No election pursuant to this Section 7.03 with respect to a Reporting Event of Default
will affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of
Default.
Section 7.04. Other
Remedies.
(A) Trustee
May Pursue All Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes.
(B) Procedural
Matters. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default. All remedies will be cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.
Section 7.05. Waiver
of Past Defaults.
An
Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (v) or (vii) of Section 7.01(A) (that,
in the case of clause (vii) only, results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of
each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected
Holder. Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived,
then it will be deemed to be cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such waiver will
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.
Section 7.06. Control
by Majority.
Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 10.01, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial
to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee in liability, unless the Trustee is offered (and, if requested, provided with)
security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s
following such direction.
Section 7.07. Limitation
on Suits.
No
Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the
principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes; or (y) the Company’s
obligations to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 5), unless:
(A) such
Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(B) Holders
of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding deliver a written request to the Trustee
to pursue such remedy;
(C) such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such request;
(D) the
Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security
or indemnity; and
(E) during
such sixty (60) calendar day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding do not deliver
to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.
A Holder of a Note may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee will
have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.
Section 7.08. Absolute
Right of Holders to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of the Right to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 8.01), the right of each Holder
of a Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price or
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon
conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, will not be impaired
or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 7.09. Collection
Suit by Trustee.
The Trustee will have the
right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (v) of
Section 7.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total
unpaid or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, or Conversion Consideration
due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on
any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided
for in Section 10.06.
Section 7.10. Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee has the right
to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors
or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Each Holder
authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.06.
To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such
proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien (senior to the rights of Holders) on, and will be
paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive
in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture
will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Article 8. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers
Section 8.01. Without
the Consent of Holders.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in Section 8.02, the Company, the Trustee, and the Collateral Agent (if applicable) may amend or supplement this
Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral Agreements without the consent of any Holder to:
(A) cure
any ambiguity or correct any omission, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture or the Notes as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate;

(B) add
guarantees with respect to the Company’s obligations under this Indenture or the Notes;
(C) secure
the Notes;
(D) add
to the Company’s covenants or Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred on the

(F) enter
into supplemental indentures pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 5.09 in connection with a Common Share Change Event;

(J) comply
with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any qualification of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act, as then in effect; or
(K) make
any other change to this Indenture or the Notes that does not, individually or in the aggregate with all other such changes, adversely
affect the rights of the Holders, as such, in any respect.
Section 8.02. With
the Consent of Holders.
(A) Generally.
Subject to Sections 8.01, 7.05 and 7.08 and the immediately following sentence, the Company and the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent (if applicable) may, with the consent of all the Holders (in respect of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below)
and otherwise of Holders of 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (excluding any Notes held by the Company or
an Affiliate thereof), amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral Agreements or waive compliance with any provision
of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject
to Section 8.01, without the consent of each affected Holder, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Notes, or
the Collateral Agreements, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral Agreements, may:
(i) reduce
the principal, or change the stated maturity, of any Note;
(ii) reduce
the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note or change the times at which, or the circumstances under which,
the Notes may or will be redeemed or repurchased by the Company;
(iii) reduce
the rate, or extend the time for the payment, of interest on any Note;
(iv) make
any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Note;
(v) impair
the rights of any Holder set forth in Section 7.08 (as such section is in effect on the Issue Date);
(vi) (1) subordinate
any of the Notes owed to the Holders in right of payment or (2) subordinate any of the Liens securing the Notes owed to the Holders;
(vii) make
any Note payable in money, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in this Indenture or the Note;
(viii) reduce
the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification;
(ix) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Agreements or a release of all or substantially all of the value of the
Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by this Indenture); or
(x) make
any direct or indirect change to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification provision of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral
Agreements that requires the consent of each affected Holder.
For the avoidance of doubt,
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 8.02(A), no amendment
or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may change the amount or type
of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity
Date or upon conversion, or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable,
without the consent of each affected Holder.
(B) Holders
Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment. A consent of any Holder pursuant to this Section 8.02 need
approve only the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.
(C) Consent
Fees. The Company will not pay or provide, cause to be paid or provided, any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for
or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration
is offered to be paid or provided and is paid or provided (or, in the case of an opportunity, such opportunity is provided) to all Holders
that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment.
The Company acknowledges that a Holder from which the Company seeks any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes may condition such consent, waiver or amendment on the reimbursement by the Company of reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses of the Holder in connection therewith.
Section 8.03. Notice
of Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.
As soon as reasonably practicable
after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 becomes effective, the Company will send
to the Holders, the Trustee, and the Collateral Agent (if applicable) notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment,
supplement or waiver in reasonable detail and (B) states the effective date thereof; provided, however, that the Company
will not be required to provide such notice to the Holders if such amendment, supplement or waiver is included in a periodic report filed
by the Company with the SEC within four (4) Business Days of its effectiveness. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect
in, such notice will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 8.04. Revocation,
Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.
(A) Revocation
and Effect of Consents. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent
of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s
Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to Section 8.04(B)) any such consent
with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective.
(B) Special
Record Dates. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent
or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8. If a record date
is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record
date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such
action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such
consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.
(C) Solicitation
of Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to
include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.
(D) Effectiveness
and Binding Effect. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8 will become effective in accordance
with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of
such Note (or such portion).
Section 8.05. Notations
and Exchanges.
If
any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder
of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such
Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute
and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the
changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this Section 8.05 will
not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 8.06. Trustee
and Collateral Agent to Execute Supplemental Indentures.
The Trustee will execute and
deliver any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 8; provided, however, that
the Trustee and the Collateral Agent need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver any such amendment or
supplemental indenture that the Trustee concludes adversely affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Sections 10.01 and 10.02) will be fully protected in relying on, an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture; and (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture is valid, binding
and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
Section 8.07. Determinations
by Affiliates of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Indenture, for purposes of this Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 7.02(C) and
this Article 8) should any Notes (or beneficial interests therein) be owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates, then
any vote, consent or notice participated in or sent by Holders shall exclude, and any determination of the “majority” in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall exclude, the vote, consent or notice relating to each such Person; provided
that if such Persons own all of the Notes (or beneficial interests therein), then such Persons shall not be excluded from any such vote,
consent, notice or determination.
Article 9. Satisfaction
and Discharge
Section 9.01. Termination
of Company’s Obligations.
This Indenture will be discharged,
and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued under this Indenture, when:
(A) all
Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.13) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date,
upon conversion or otherwise) for an amount of cash or Conversion Consideration, as applicable, that has been fixed;
(B) the
Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent (or, with respect to Conversion Consideration,
the Conversion Agent), in each case for the benefit of the Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash
(or, with respect to Notes to be converted, Conversion Consideration) sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property due on all Notes
then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.13);
(C) the
Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under this Indenture; and
(D) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
the conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied;
provided,
however, that Article 10 and Section 11.01 will survive such discharge and, until no Notes remain outstanding,
Section 2.15 and the obligations of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with respect to money or other
property deposited with them will survive such discharge.
At the Company’s request,
the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 9.02. Repayment
to Company.
Subject to applicable unclaimed
property law, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company if there exists (and, at the Company’s
request, promptly deliver to the Company) any cash, Conversion Consideration or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery
on the Notes that remain unclaimed two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to
the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such
cash, Conversion Consideration or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment or delivery of such cash, Conversion Consideration
or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.
Section 9.03. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Conversion Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.01 because
of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits
such application, then the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.01 will be rescinded; provided, however,
that if the Company thereafter pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company will
be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held by the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable.
Article 10. Trustee
Section 10.01. Duties
of the Trustee.
(A) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice or has actual
knowledge of the same, then the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree
of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s
own affairs.
(B) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the
duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties
that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and
(ii) in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may, without investigation, conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
that are provided to the Trustee and conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(C) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this
paragraph will not limit the effect of Section 10.01(B);
(ii) the
Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the
Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 7.06.
(D) Each
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to clauses (A), (B) and (C) of
this Section 10.01, regardless of whether such provision so expressly provides.
(E) No
provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.
(F) The
Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it, except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law.
(G) Whether
or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee will be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.01.
(H) The
permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein will not be construed as duties.
(I) The
Trustee will not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise.
(J) Unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received notice from the Company that Additional Interest or Special Interest is owing or, if
applicable, accruing on the Notes, the Trustee may assume that no Additional Interest or Special Interest, as applicable, is payable or,
if applicable, accruing.
(K) The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to,
and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities under this Indenture, including as Note Agent and Collateral Agent.
(L) The
Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of any document or agreement other than this Indenture and the Notes.
(M) The
Trustee will not be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes.
Section 10.02. Rights
of the Trustee.
(A) The
Trustee may conclusively rely on any document that it believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper Person, and the Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document.
(B) Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will
not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
The Trustee may consult with counsel; and the written advice of such counsel, or any Opinion of Counsel, will constitute full and complete
authorization of the Trustee to take or omit to take any action in good faith in reliance thereon without liability.
(C) The
Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent appointed
with due care.
(D) The
Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith and that it believes to be authorized or within the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture.
(E) Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed
by an Officer of the Company.
(F) The
Trustee need not exercise any rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holder unless such Holder
has offered (and, if requested, provided) the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense that it may incur in complying with such request or direction.
(G) The
Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits),
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Section 10.03. Individual
Rights of the Trustee.
The Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of any Note and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with
the same rights that it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires a “conflicting
interest” (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), then it must eliminate such conflict within
ninety (90) days or resign as Trustee. Each Note Agent will have the same rights and duties as the Trustee under this Section 10.03.
Section 10.04. Trustee’s
Disclaimer.
The Trustee will not be (A) responsible
for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; (B) accountable for the Company’s
use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this
Indenture; (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and (D) responsible
for any statement or recital in this Indenture, the Notes or any other document relating to the sale of the Notes or this Indenture, other
than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
Section 10.05. Notice
of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default
or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if it is not known to the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event
within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes known to a Responsible Officer thereof; provided, however, that, except
in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note, or a default in the payment
or delivery of the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so long as it in good
faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice or be
charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer thereof,
and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states on its face that a Default or Event of Default has occurred.
Section 10.06. Compensation
and Indemnity.
(A) The
Company will, from time to time, pay the Trustee reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services under this
Indenture, as separately agreed by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. In addition to the compensation for the Trustee’s services, the Company will reimburse the Trustee
promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it under this Indenture, including the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
(B) The
Company will indemnify the Trustee (in each of its capacities under this Indenture) and its directors, officers, employees and agents,
in their capacities as such, against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against
the Company (including this Section 10.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder
or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture,
except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is attributable (as determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction)
to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity, but
the Trustee’s failure to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 10.06(B),
except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Company will defend such claim, and the Trustee will cooperate
in such defense. If the Trustee is advised by counsel that it may have defenses available to it that are in conflict with the defenses
available to the Company, or that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest, then the Trustee may retain separate counsel,
and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the
Trustee incurred in evaluating whether such a conflict exists). The Company need not pay for any settlement of any such claim made without
its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(C) The
obligations of the Company under this Section 10.06 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge
of this Indenture.
(D) To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 10.06, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all
money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or interest on, particular Notes, which
lien will survive the discharge of this Indenture.
(E) If
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) occurs,
then such expenses and the compensation for such services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 10.07. Replacement
of the Trustee.
(A) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 10.07, a resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the appointment of a successor
Trustee, will become effective only upon such successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 10.07.
(B) The
Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust created by this Indenture by so notifying the Company. The Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company
in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(i) the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.09;
(ii) the
Trustee is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(iii) a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
(C) If
the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, then (i) the Company will
promptly appoint a successor Trustee; and (ii) at any time within one (1) year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace such successor
Trustee appointed by the Company.
(D) If
a successor Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, then the retiring Trustee,
the Company or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(E) If
the Trustee, after written request by a Holder of at least six (6) months, fails to comply with Section 10.09, then such
Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(F) A
successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, upon which notice the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will, upon
payment of all amounts due to it under this Indenture, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
which property will, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the lien provided for in Section 10.06(D).
Section 10.08. Successor
Trustee by Merger, Etc.
If the Trustee consolidates,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, then such entity will
become the successor Trustee without any further act.
Section 10.09. Eligibility;
Disqualification.
There will at all times be
a Trustee under this Indenture that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of
any state thereof, that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent
published annual report of condition.

Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding paragraph, notices to the Trustee (other than a notice pursuant to Section 2.12) or any Note Agent
must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon actual receipt by the Trustee or such Note Agent, as applicable.
The Company, the Trustee,
or the Collateral Agent, by notice to the other, may designate additional or different addresses (including facsimile numbers and electronic

All notices and communications

The Trustee shall not have
any duty to confirm that the person sending any notice, instruction or other communication by electronic transmission (including by e-mail,
facsimile transmission, web portal or other electronic methods) is, in fact, a person authorized to do so. Electronic signatures believed
by the Trustee to comply with the ESIGN Act of 2000 or other applicable law (including electronic images of handwritten signatures and
digital signatures provided by DocuSign, Orbit, Adobe Sign or any other digital signature provider acceptable to the Trustee) shall be
deemed original signatures for all purposes. Any person that uses electronic signatures and electronic methods to send communications
to the Trustee assumes all risks arising out of such use, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on an unauthorized

The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent may rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will
promptly forward a copy of each such schedule to a Holder upon its written request therefor, at the cost and expense of the Company.

any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be returned
to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Any Proceeds not applied
shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral.
In addition, with respect
to any proceeds of Insurance received by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, (i) such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Indenture or (ii) if
not so permitted or required by the Indenture, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4
and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance
with this Section 5.4.
5.5 Code
and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement
and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do
any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of
any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent may, but shall have
no obligation to, store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the
extent that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to
become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is
hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy
Code, the Collateral Agent, as representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective
individual capacities unless the Majority Holders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply
the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral
Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their
pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim
or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to, sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify
any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale
of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral
or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that
have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against
the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was
less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and
does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at
such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the property
where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its
rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to
the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4.
Only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.
If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the
purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out
of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.
(c) In
the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks
subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such
Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual
Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual
Property, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture,
distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.
(d) For
the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.5 (including in order to take
possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or
grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive,
and assignable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks,
to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks,
to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired
or held by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment
of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise
occupied by such Grantor.
5.6 Effect
of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the
Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other
terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale
of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Equity Issuer thereof
to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Equity
Issuer would agree to do so.
5.7 Deficiency.
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Section 6. POWER
OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
6.1 Collateral
Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may
be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right (but the Collateral Agent shall not have the obligation), on behalf of such Grantor,
without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in
the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances
or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding
in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in
the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers
as necessary or that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay
or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called
for by the terms of the Note Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute,
in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5 or 5.6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance
or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct
any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly
to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt
for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign
and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect
to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the
goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on
such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense,
at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights
under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the permissive rights of the Collateral Agent enumerated herein shall not
be construed as duties.
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this
power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c) The
fees and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (as applicable) incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this
Section 6.1 (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its agents and counsel), together with interest thereon at a rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent promptly on demand.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.
6.2 Authorization
of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable
law, the Collateral Agent is authorized to, but shall have no duty or obligation to, file or record financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such
offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same
manner as described in the Collateral Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the such Grantor,
whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the such Grantor or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole
judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing
statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
authorization, nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Grantors’ Liens,
including by the filing of UCC financing statements and continuation statements, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantor.
6.3 Further
Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file
such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and
deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported
to be granted hereby;
(ii) take
all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual
Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application
for registration or issuance is pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing;
(iii) at
any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral
Agent or persons designated by the Collateral Agent;
(iv) at
the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or
the Collateral Agent’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v) furnish
the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
Section 7. Lien
absolute; waiver of suretyship defenses
7.1 Lien

and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby
waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to, in each case, each of the
following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof):
(i) the
validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset
with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;
(ii) any
renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification
or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Note Documents;
(iii) any
failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining,
by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy
(whether arising under any Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating
thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations;
(iv) any
change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Issuer or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries
and any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obligations;
(v) any
settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or
any substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or any subordination of the Secured Obligations to any other obligations;
(vi) the
validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any
or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Secured Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;
(vii) any
exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including
the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether
or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or
any other provisions hereof, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor
under applicable law; and
(viii) any
other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect
of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuer or
any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a bankruptcy proceeding
or in any other instance.
(b) In
addition each Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set- offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance
in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Issuer or any other Grantor or Person against any
Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations,
accord and satisfaction and usury.
(c) Each
Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment
to or upon the Issuer or any of the other Grantors with respect to the Secured Obligations. Except for notices provided for herein, each
Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral
securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing
its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand
on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent to
make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Issuer, any other Grantor or any other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Issuer,
any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of
any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available
as a matter of law, of Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement
and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Section 8. the
collateral AGENT
8.1 Authority
of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement
with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as
may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor
shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(b) U.S.
Bank Trust Company, National Association has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Holders. The Collateral Agent
shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely
in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture; provided that the Collateral Agent shall, after the payment in full of all
Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) (the “Discharge
of the Secured Obligations”), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein and otherwise act in accordance
with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”). The provisions of the Indenture
relating to the Trustee, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Trustee and the powers,
duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee, are incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply to U.S. Bank Trust Company,
National Association acting in its capacity as the Collateral Agent, and shall survive any termination of the Indenture.
8.2 Duty
of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party
nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect
the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and
neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act
is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
8.3 Exculpation
of the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Collateral Document or the validity or perfection
of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written
or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or
made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition
or business affairs of any party to the Indenture or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the
Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
covenants or agreements contained in any of the Collateral Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default
or default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b) Neither
the Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any
action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents except to the extent caused
solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
in connection herewith or any of the Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder
or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Trustee or the Majority Holders
and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise
such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing,
(i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication,
instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and
shall be entitled to conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys
for the Grantors and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured
Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining
from acting hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents in accordance with the Indenture or, in the limited circumstances specified
in Section 8.1(b) hereof, the instructions of the Majority Holders.
(c) Without
limiting the indemnification provisions of the Indenture, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Indenture severally agrees to
indemnify the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees
and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral
Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Collateral Documents or otherwise
in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents; provided,
no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely and from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Collateral
Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Collateral Agent may call
for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts insufficiently indemnified against until such additional indemnity
is furnished.
(d) No
direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth
in or arising under this Agreement or any Collateral Document accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon
the Collateral Agent.
8.4 No
Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the
extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and
remedies under the Note Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with
the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral
provided hereunder and under any other Note Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of
the Secured Obligations held by it.
8.5 Concerning
the Collateral Agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement and each other Collateral Agreement
solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. In acting hereunder and under each other Collateral Agreement, whether
or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
were set forth herein and therein.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any discretion in connection with its duties herein, and
shall act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by the Trustee or the Holders of the requisite percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes as permitted by and in accordance with the Indenture, and shall have no liability to any Person and will be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance therewith.
Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Indenture.
9.2 Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for
in Section 11.01 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed
to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
9.3 No
Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default
or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4 Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred
in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any
of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture
and the other Note Documents.
9.5 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation
without such consent shall be null and void.
9.6 Set-Off.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor,
to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured
or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder,
under the Indenture, any other Note Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made
any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party exercising
any right of set-off shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds
thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights
of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
9.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile
or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or
“tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
9.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties
hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9.9 Section Headings.
The Section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
9.10 Integration/Conflict.
This Agreement and the other Note Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred
to herein or therein. In the case of any Collateral “located” outside the United States (including any Equity Interests of
an Equity Issuer organized under a jurisdiction other than the United States of any state or other locality thereof), in the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable Foreign Security Document
which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied with, the provisions contained in such Foreign Security Document shall govern
to the extent of such conflict with respect to such Collateral.
9.11 GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE
UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).
9.12 Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the transactions contemplated
by this Indenture may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts
of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and
each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any
process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s
address set forth in Section 11.01 of the Indenture will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints Marti Technologies I Inc., as Delaware corporation, with an office at 3500
South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, 19901, as its authorized agent to receive on behalf of it and its
property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any proceeding. If for any reason
such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each Grantor shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing
for service of process in the United States and deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment
within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. Each of the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and each Holder (by its acceptance of any Note) irrevocably
and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably
and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.

(a) it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is
a party;

for release identifying the relevant Grantor and Collateral to be released, together with a certification by the Issuer stating that
such transaction is in compliance with the Indenture and the other Note Documents and that the Proceeds of such Disposition will be applied
in accordance therewith. At the request and sole expense of the Issuer, a Subsidiary Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder
in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Grantor shall be Disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Indenture;
provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date
of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Grantor, together with a certification by

Disposition will be applied in accordance therewith.

Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to
any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to
such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
9.16 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES, WILL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE COLLATERAL AGENT,
AND THE HOLDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INDENTURE OR THE NOTES.

TO LLC/PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
Section ______. Pledgee’s Rights;.
Subdivision 1. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, each [Member/Partner] shall be permitted to pledge or hypothecate any or all of its [Units/Partnership Interests],
including all Interests, economic rights, control rights and status rights as a [Member/Partner], to any holder to the Company or an
affiliate of the Company or any agent acting on such holder’s behalf, and any transfer of such [Units/Partnership Interests] pursuant
to any such holder’s (or agent’s) exercise of remedies in connection with any such pledge or hypothecation shall be permitted
under this Agreement with no further action or approval required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
upon a default under the financing giving rise to any pledge or hypothecation of [Units/Partnership Interests], the holder (or agent)
shall have the right, as set forth in the applicable pledge or hypothecation agreement, and without further approval of any [Member/Partner]
and without becoming a [Member/Partner], to exercise the membership/partnership voting rights of the [Member/Partner] granting such pledge

Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers
advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may require in connection with
such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and at the expense of the relevant
Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations,
aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
(b) The
Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables and each Grantor hereby agrees to continue
to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation in respect thereof and
diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Receivable and any such Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own
expense consistent with its reasonable business judgment; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate
said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any
Grantor, (i) shall forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) be turned over and duly endorsed by such Grantor
to the Collateral Agent if required, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor.
(c) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing
or has actual knowledge thereof, at the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original
and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without
limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
5.2 Communications
with Obligors. (a) The Collateral Agent in its own

(b) The
Collateral Agent may at any time notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable of
the security interest of the Trustee therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty
to make all payments under the Receivable directly to the Collateral Agent.
5.3 Proceeds
to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect
to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of
cash, Cash Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required).
5.4 Application
of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Issuer and the Collateral Agent (acting with the written consent of the
Trustee or Majority Holders), or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s
election, the Collateral Agent may, apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses
as provided in Section 5.5) realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder in payment of the Secured
Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds to be applied in the following order:
First,
to the Collateral Agent to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses under the Note Documents (including, but not limited to, fees and
expenses of its agents and counsel);
Second,
to the Trustee in respect of Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid for application by the Trustee in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture;
Third,
to the Trustee in respect of all Secured Obligations (other than those under clause second above) for prepayment of such Secured Obligations
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
Fourth,
any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of Secured Obligations shall be returned
to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Any Proceeds not applied shall
be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral.
In addition, with respect to
any proceeds of Insurance received by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, (x) if no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (i) such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Indenture
or (ii) if not so permitted or required by the Indenture, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this
Section 5.4 and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied
in accordance with this Section 5.4.
5.5 Code
and Other Remedies (a) If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may (but shall no be obligated to) exercise, in addition
to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating
to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests,
defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public
or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such
terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, store, repair or recondition any Collateral
or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right
or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement
or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other
applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the Collateral Agent, as representative of the Secured Parties (but
not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Holders shall otherwise
agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on
account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably
to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser
at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby
waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time
in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice
of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to sell the Collateral without giving
any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, specifically disclaim or modify any warranties
of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion
thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Collateral to more than one offeree. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the property where
any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its
rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to
the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4.
Only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.
If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the
purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out
of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) For
the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.5 (including in order to take
possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or
grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable license (without
payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased,
or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.
5.6 [Reserved]
5.7 Deficiency.
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Section 6. POWER
OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
6.1 Collateral
Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution,
as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name
of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right (but the Collateral
Agent shall not have the obligation), on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the
following:
(i) in
the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances
or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose
of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) pay
or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called
for by the terms of the Note Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iii) execute,
in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5 or 5.6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance
or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(iv) (1) direct
any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly
to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt
for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign
and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect
to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement
with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from
time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and
the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such
Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights
under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that the permissive rights of the Collateral Agent enumerated herein shall not be construed
as duties,
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this
power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c) The
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1,
including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal
to the Default Rate under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Trustee or Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant
Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Trustee or Collateral Agent on demand.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.
6.2 Authorization
of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable
law, the Collateral Agent is authorized to, but shall have no duty or obligation to, file or record financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such
offices as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described
in the Collateral Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the such Grantor, whether now owned
or hereafter existing or acquired by the such Grantor or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole judgment, determines
is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other
filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing authorization,
nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Grantors’ Liens, including by the
filing of UCC financing statements and continuation statements, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantor.
6.3 Further
Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file
such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and
deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported
to be granted hereby;
(ii) at
any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral
Agent or persons designated by the Collateral Agent;
(iii) at
the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or
the Collateral Agent’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(iv) furnish
the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

7.1 Lien
Absolute, Waivers. (a) All rights of Collateral Agent
hereunder, and all obligations of Grantors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by,

have (now or in the future) with respect to, in each case, each of the following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof):

validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset
with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;

thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations;
(iv) any
change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Issuer or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries
and any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obligations;
(v) any
settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or
any substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or any subordination of the Secured Obligations to any other obligations;
(vi) the
validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any
or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Secured Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;

or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or
any other provisions hereof, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor
under applicable law; and
(viii) any
other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect
of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuer or
any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a bankruptcy proceeding
or in any other instance.
(b) In
addition each Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set- offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance
in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Issuer or any other Grantor or Person against any
Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations,
accord and satisfaction and usury.
(c) Each
Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment

Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral
securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing
its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand
on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent to
make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Issuer, any other Grantor or any other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Issuer,
any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of
any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available
as a matter of law, of Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement
and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Section 8. the
collateral AGENT
8.1 Authority
of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges
that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties,
be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties
with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make
any inquiry respecting such authority.
(b) U.S.
Bank Trust Company, National Association has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Holders. The Collateral Agent
shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely
in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture; provided that the Collateral Agent shall, after the payment in full of all
Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) (the “Discharge
of the Secured Obligations”), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein and otherwise act in accordance
with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”). The provisions of the Indenture
relating to the Trustee, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Trustee and the powers,
duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee, are incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply to U.S. Bank Trust Company,
National Association acting in its capacity as the Collateral Agent hereunder, and shall survive any termination of the Indenture.
8.2 Duty
of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party
nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect
the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and
neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act
is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
8.3 Exculpation
of the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency
hereof or of any Collateral Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals
or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments,
reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of
any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection with this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and the
transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any party to the Indenture or any other Person
liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance
or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Collateral Documents or as
to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b) Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any
action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents except to the extent caused
solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
in connection herewith or any of the Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder
or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Trustee or the Majority Holders
and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise
such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing,
(i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying, upon any
communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or
Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys
for the Grantors and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured
Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining
from acting hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents in accordance with the Indenture or, in the limited circumstances specified
in Section 8.1(b) hereof, the instructions of the Majority Holders.
(c) Without
limiting the indemnification provisions of the Indenture, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Indenture severally agrees to
indemnify the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, but not limited
to, counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Collateral Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Collateral
Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Collateral
Documents; provided, no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely and directly from the Collateral Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any
indemnity furnished to the Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts insufficiently indemnified
against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
(d) No
direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth
in or arising under this Agreement or any Collateral Document accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon
the Collateral Agent.
8.4 No
Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the
extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and
remedies under the Note Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with
the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral
provided hereunder and under any other Note Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of
the Secured Obligations held by it.
8.5 Concerning
the Collateral Agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement and each other Collateral Agreement
solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. In acting hereunder and under each other Collateral Agreement, whether
or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
were set forth herein and therein.
Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any discretion in connection with its duties herein,
and shall act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by the Trustee or the Holders of the requisite percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes as permitted by and in accordance with the Indenture, and shall have no liability to any Person and will be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance therewith.
Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Indenture.
9.2 Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for
in Section 11.01 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed
to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
9.3 No
Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default
or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4 Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees
to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement
and the other Note Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to
each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any
of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture
and the other Note Documents.
9.5 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation
without such consent shall be null and void.
9.6 Set-Off.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor,
to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured
or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder,
under the Indenture, any other Note Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made
any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party exercising
any right of set-off shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds
thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights
of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
9.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile
or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or
“tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
9.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties
hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9.9 Section Headings.
The Section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
9.10 Integration/Conflict.
This Agreement and the other Note Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred
to herein or therein. In the case of any Collateral “located” outside the United States, in the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable Foreign Security Document which cannot be
resolved by both provisions being complied with, the provisions contained in such Foreign Security Document shall govern to the extent
of such conflict with respect to such Collateral.
9.11 GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE
UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

by this Indenture may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts
of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and
each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any
process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s
address set forth in Section 11.01 of the Indenture will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints Marti Technologies I Inc., as Delaware corporation, with an office at 3500
South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, 19901, as its authorized agent to receive on behalf of it and its
property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any proceeding. If for any reason
such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each Grantor shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing
for service of process in the United States and deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment
within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. Each of the Company, the Collateral Agent and each Holder (by its acceptance of any Note) irrevocably and unconditionally
waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally
waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(a) it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is
a party;

Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to
such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT
FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS
GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of [__] (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time
to time, this “Guaranty”), made by each of the undersigned subsidiaries of Marti Technologies, Inc., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”) (each individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”)
and each Additional Guarantor that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 22 hereof. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein and defined in the Indenture (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.
W
I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS,
the Issuer, and U.S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (together with any successor trustee, the “Trustee”)
and as collateral agent (together with any successor collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”), have entered into
an Indenture, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time
to time, the “Indenture”);
WHEREAS, in recognition of
the direct or indirect benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer under the Indenture, each
Guarantor desires to enter into this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS,
it is a condition to the issuance and sale of the Notes under the Indenture that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered
this Guaranty in order to guarantee the Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Indenture and the Notes.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Trustee for the benefit of itself, the Holders and the Collateral Agent
as follows:
1. The
Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier
date such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable hereunder,
such Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured
Parties, on first demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantee provided
hereunder constitutes an undertaking of third person’s obligations (üçüncü kişinin fiilini taahhüt)
as regulated under Article 128 of Turkish Code of Obligations (Law No. 6098). This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim
is ever made upon any Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement
or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party), then
and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor,
notwithstanding any revocation of this Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed
Party, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same
extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
No failure or delay on the
part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which any Secured Party would otherwise have. Except as otherwise explicitly required hereby or by any other Note Document,
no notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.
2. Bankruptcy.
Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date
such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees the payment of any and all of its
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by the Issuer or any such other Guaranteed Party
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 7.01(A)(ix) or (x) of the Indenture, and jointly
and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date such Guarantor is released from this
Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), promises to pay such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties, on
order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.
3. Nature
of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, direct, joint and several, and unconditional, irrevocable
and exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by such
Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted under law, that the liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction
as to application of payment by the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty
or undertaking of such Guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction
of any such other guaranty or undertaking (other than payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment),
(d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, (e) any payment made
to any Secured Party on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Secured Party repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court
order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right
to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (f) any action or inaction by the
Secured Parties as contemplated in Section 5 or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part
of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.
4. Independent
Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor, the Issuer, any other party or any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against any Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any other party, the Issuer
or any other Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party, the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party be joined
in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party or other circumstance
which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Issuer or any such other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute
of limitations as to the relevant Guarantor. The provisions of this Guaranty constitute a continuing guaranty and include all present
and future Relevant Guaranteed Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying,
releasing, or renewing the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions
thereof, or creating new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations after prior Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied
in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke the provisions of this
Guaranty as to future Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Trustee,
(ii) no such revocation shall apply to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Trustee of such
written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms,
or other terms and conditions thereof), (iii) no such revocation shall apply to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created
after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any Guaranteed Party in existence on the date
of such revocation, (iv) no payment by any Guarantor or from any other source, prior to the date of Trustee’s receipt of written
notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by the Issuer or
from any source other than such Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent
so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor which remain guaranteed hereunder.
5. Authorization.
To the fullest extent permitted under law, each Guarantor authorizes the Secured Parties without notice or demand, and without affecting
or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time (but without obligation) to:
(a) change
the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest
or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall
apply to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(b) take
and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon
or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever
securing, the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in
respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;
(c) exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, or any other Person or otherwise act or refrain
from acting;
(d) release
or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Person or other obligors;
(e) settle
or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any
liability (whether due or not) to its creditors other than the Secured Parties;
(f) except
as otherwise expressly required by the Security Agreements, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability
or liabilities of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of the
Issuer or such other Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;
(g) consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Guaranty, any other Note Document, or any of the instruments or
agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Guaranty (subject to Section 14),
any other Note Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(h) take
any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such
Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty.
6. Reliance.
It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or the officers,
directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
7. Subordination.
Any indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer or such other Guaranteed Party owing to the Secured Parties and, if the Trustee so
requests at a time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, all such indebtedness to such Guarantor shall be collected, enforced
and received by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties
on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer or such other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties, but without affecting
or impairing in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed
Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in
violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall
forthwith be paid to Trustee to be credited and applied to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, or to be held as Collateral for any Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations or other amounts payable hereunder thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Guarantor
may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or
seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Guarantor (the “Foreclosed Guarantor”),
including after the Termination Date, if all or any portion of the obligations under the Indenture and the Notes have been satisfied
in connection with a sale or other disposition by Trustee or Collateral Agent of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Guarantor, whether
pursuant to the Security Agreements or otherwise.
8. Waiver.
(a) Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any right to require any Secured Party to (i) proceed
against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Guarantor or any other Person, or any collateral or
(iv) pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted
under applicable law, any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor,
any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person (other than payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the
extent of such payment and release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18) or based on or arising
out of the disability of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any other Person, or the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for
any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party (other than payment of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment and release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18).
The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Trustee, Collateral Agent or any Holder by one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted
by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party
or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the
extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, any defense
arising out of any such election by the Secured Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Person or any security.
(b) Each
Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices,
including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty,
and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuer’s and each other Guaranteed Party’s financial condition
and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor any of the other
Secured Parties shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
(c) Each
Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted under law, (i) subordinates to the payment in full of the obligations under the Indenture
and the Notes, any right to assert against the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim,
or claim which each Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the Issuer or any other party liable to the Issuer or such
other Guaranteed Party; and (ii) waives any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or
indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security therefor.
9. Maximum
Liability. It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor and the Secured Parties that this Guaranty shall be enforced against such
Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers),
then the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and such Guarantor shall pay,
if and when required pursuant to the terms hereof, the maximum amount of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible
under applicable law.
10. Enforcement.
Each Secured Party agrees (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action
of the Trustee, acting for itself or upon the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, and that no other Person shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood
and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this
Guaranty. Each Holder further agrees (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may not be enforced against
any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder
is also a Guarantor hereunder).
11. Representations
and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that:
(a) Such
Guarantor has the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other applicable business entity power and authority, as
the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Note Document to which it is

case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty and each such other Note Document. Such Guarantor

or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
in equity or at law).
(b) Neither
the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Note Document to which it is a party, nor compliance
by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, or memorandum
and articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent organizational
documents), as applicable, of such Guarantor.
(c) The
Guarantor agrees and accepts to fulfill its notification obligation within 30 days of the date of issuance of this Guaranty Agreement

so and there is no admission by it of its inability to do so.
(e) The
Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they fall due, and will not be rendered unable to pay its debts as they fall due because of its
entry into and performance of this Guaranty Agreement.
(f) The
Guarantor has not commenced negotiations with any creditor with a view to readjustment or rescheduling of its indebtedness nor has it
made an assignment for the benefit of or a composition with its creditors, and no moratorium has been declared in respect of its indebtedness,
and no event has occurred and no proceeding or action has been taken under the laws of any jurisdiction that is analogous to or has an
effect similar to any of the matters referred to in this paragraph.
12. Covenants.
Each Guarantor that is not a party to the Indenture covenants and agrees that on and after the Issue Date (or, if later, the date on
which any Additional Guarantor becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 22) and until the Termination Date (or such earlier
date released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in Section 3 of the Indenture.
13. Successors
and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
14. Amendments.
Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each
Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute
a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and the Trustee (with
each other consent required pursuant to Section 8 of the Indenture).
15. Authorization.
Subject, in each case, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.13 of the Indenture, in addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without obtaining a judgment or the
approval or consent of or notice to the Issuer, presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Guarantor, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) (other than accounts
used (i) solely for making payroll and withholding tax payments related thereto and other employee wage and benefit payments and
accrued and unpaid employee compensation payments (including salaries, wages, benefits and expense reimbursements, 401(k) and other
retirement plans and employee benefits, including rabbi trusts for deferred compensation and health care benefits), (ii) solely
for paying taxes, including sales taxes, or (iii) as an escrow account, a fiduciary or trust account or otherwise held exclusively

similar amounts paid by third parties and owed to municipalities)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Holder,
the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of its Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations to the Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Holder, the Collateral
Agent or the Trustee shall have made any demand hereunder and although such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, liabilities or claims, or
any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
16. Notice, etc.

17. CHOICE
OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SECURED PARTIES
AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action
or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty (except that in the case of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings with respect
to any Guarantor, actions or proceedings related to this Guaranty and the other Note Documents may be brought in such court holding such
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings) may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America
for the Southern District of New York in each case which are located in the County of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this
Guaranty, each Guarantor and each Holder (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Without limiting the generality
of any of the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees, without prejudice to the enforcement of a judgment obtained in New York according to the
provision of Article 54 of the Act on International Private Law and Procedure Law of the Republic (Law No. 5718) (the “Private
International Law”) that in the event that the Guarantor is sued in a court in the Republic of Turkey in connection with this
Guaranty Agreement, such judgment obtained in New York shall constitute conclusive evidence of the existence and amount of the claim
against the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Article 193 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic (Law No. 6100)
and Article 58 and Article 59 of the Private International Law. Each Guarantor irrevocably appoints Marti Technologies I Inc.,
as Delaware corporation, with an office at 3500 South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, 19901, as its authorized
agent to receive on behalf of it and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served
in any proceeding. If for any reason such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each Guarantor shall forthwith
appoint a new agent of recognized standing for service of process in the United States and deliver to the Trustee a copy of the new agent’s
acceptance of that appointment within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, any Note Agent or any Holder to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty)
hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over it, and agrees not to plead or claim
in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Note Document to which it is a party brought in any of the
aforesaid courts that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over it. Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the
benefits of this Guaranty) further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such
action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address
set forth in Section 16. Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably
waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding
commenced hereunder or under any other Note Document to which it is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective.
Nothing herein shall affect the right of any such party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings
or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction.
(b) EACH
GUARANTOR, EACH SECURED PARTY (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty)
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE
(a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(c) EACH
GUARANTOR, EACH SECURED PARTY (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
18. Release.
In the event that a Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of a transaction permitted under the Indenture, such
Guarantor shall upon ceasing to be a Subsidiary be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty
shall, as to each such Guarantor, terminate, and have no further force or effect. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, this Guaranty
shall automatically and without further action, as to all Guarantors, terminate and have no further force and effect. The Trustee (and
each Holder (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) irrevocably authorizes the Trustee) to, at the Guarantors’ expense,
execute and deliver to the Guarantors such documents as the Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence, as applicable, the release
of such Guarantor from, or the termination in full of, this Guaranty.
19. Right
of Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of
contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with
the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”)
is made on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results
in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant
Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”),
each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s
Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect
of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an
amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which
is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s
right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time
of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations
have been paid in full, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution
arising pursuant to this Section 19 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s
obligations and liabilities in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As
used in this Section 19, (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage
obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors;
(ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth of such Guarantor
and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable
value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including
contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty shall thereafter have no contribution obligations,
or rights, pursuant to this Section 19, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess
Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining
Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder
by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this
Section 19, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of
contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have
been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute
an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution.
20. Counterparts;
Etc. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Guarantors and the Trustee. The provisions of Section 11.14
of the Indenture are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.
21. Payments.
All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense (other than payment of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment), and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.04 and 2.05 of the Indenture.
22. Additional
Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is required, or with respect to which the Issuer elects
to cause, to become a party to this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Indenture, shall become
a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a counterpart hereof, or a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), and delivering same to the Trustee and (i) such Person shall be referred
to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor”
shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Note Document to a “Guarantor”
shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Note Document to the “Guaranty,”
“thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to
this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

the Trustee. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement solely in its capacity as Trustee under the
Indenture. In acting hereunder, whether or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Trustee shall be entitled to the rights, protections,

in recognition of the direct or indirect benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer

1. Guaranty.
In accordance with Section 22 of the Guaranty, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with

Date (or such earlier date such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees, jointly
and severally with the other Guarantors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties.
2. Covenants;
Representations and Warranties. The New Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable

thereunder are true and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof, except for representations and warranties that

case unless expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date. Each reference to a Guarantor in the Indenture and to a Guarantor in the Guaranty shall,
from and after the date hereof, be deemed to include the New Guarantor.
3. Severability.
Any provision of this Joinder Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective

of the Guaranty.

Exhibit 4.6
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
THIS
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made on ___________, by and between Marti Technologies, Inc.,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and the undersigned (“Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS,
highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held companies and corporations as directors, officers
or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate
risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such companies and corporations;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and
retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect
persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
of the Company (the “Articles”) provide for the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company.
Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable Cayman Islands law. The Articles provide that the indemnification
provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members
of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement and reimbursement rights;
WHEREAS,
the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining
such persons;
WHEREAS,
the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best
interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty
of such protection in the future;
WHEREAS,
it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate
and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles so that they will
serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so protected against liabilities;
WHEREAS,
this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto,
and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee
may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such
capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition
that he or she be so indemnified.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant
and agree as follows:
| 1. | SERVICES TO THE COMPANY |
In consideration of the Company’s
covenants and obligations hereunder, Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as an officer, director, advisor, key employee or
in any other capacity of the Company, as applicable, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or retained or until Indemnitee
tenders his or her resignation or until Indemnitee is removed. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director, officer, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company,
as provided in Section 17. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s
service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by applicable law and the Articles or by other agreements or commitments of
the parties, if any.
As used in this Agreement:
(a) References
to “agent” shall mean any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
or other person authorized by the Company to act for the Company, to include such person serving in such capacity as a director, officer,
employee, advisor, fiduciary or other official of another company, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company.
(b) The
terms “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall have the meanings set forth
in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof.
(c) “Cayman

(the “Sponsor”), any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors, unless (1) the change in the relative Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s
securities by any Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, or (2) such acquisition was approved in advance by the Continuing Directors and such acquisition
would not constitute a Change in Control under part (iii) of this definition; |
| (ii) | Change in Board of Directors. Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board, and
any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of
at least two thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors on the date hereof or whose election or nomination for election
was previously so approved (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority of the members of the Board; |
| (iii) | Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”),
in each case, unless, following such Business Combination: (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
the Beneficial Owners of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such Business Combination
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a company
or corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either
directly or through one or more Subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business
Combination, of the securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; (2) other than an affiliate of the Sponsor,
no Person (excluding any company or corporation resulting from such Business Combination) is the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly,
of 15% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
of the surviving company or corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (3) at
least a majority of the board of directors of the company or corporation resulting from such Business Combination were Continuing Directors
at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; |
| (iv) | Liquidation. The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company
or an agreement or series of agreements for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets, other than factoring the Company’s current receivables or escrows due (or, if such approval is not required, the decision
by the Board to proceed with such a liquidation, sale, or disposition in one transaction or a series of related transactions); or |
| (v) | Other Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated

(e) “Corporate

is sought by Indemnitee.
(g) “Enterprise”
shall mean the Company and any other company or corporation, constituent company or corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a party, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent.
(h) “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(i) “Expenses”

attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, fees of private

or appeal of, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding, including reasonable compensation for time spent by the Indemnitee for which
he or she is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any third party. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection
with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the principal, premium, security for, and other costs relating
to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement
by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.
(j) References

respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.
(l) “Independent
Counsel” shall mean a reputable law firm or a member of a law firm with significant experience in matters of corporate law
and that neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter
material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees
under similar indemnification agreements); or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards
of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action
to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
(m) The
term “Person” shall have the meaning as set forth in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that “Person” shall exclude: (i) the Company; (ii) any Subsidiaries
of the Company; (iii) any employment benefit plan of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company or of any company or corporation
owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of

term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, mediation, alternate
dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding,
whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil (including intentional or unintentional tort claims),
criminal, administrative or investigative or related nature, in which Indemnitee was, is, will or might be involved as a party or otherwise
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, by reason of any action (or failure to act) taken
by him or her or of any action (or failure to act) on his or her part while acting as a director or officer of the Company, or by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability
or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement.
(o) The
term “Subsidiary,” with respect to any Person, shall mean any company or corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity of which a majority of the voting power of the voting equity securities or equity interest
is owned, directly or indirectly, by that Person.
(p) The
phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles” shall include, but not be limited
to: (a) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provision of applicable Cayman Islands law that authorizes or contemplates
additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of applicable Cayman Islands
law, and (b) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of applicable Cayman Islands law
adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a company or corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.
| 3. | INDEMNITY IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS |
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the
Articles, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3
if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding,
other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually, and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, in no event shall Indemnitee be entitled to be indemnified,
held harmless or advanced any amounts hereunder in respect of any Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid
in settlement (if any) that Indemnitee may incur by reason of his or her own actual fraud or willful default. Indemnitee shall not be
found to have committed actual fraud or willful default for any purpose of this Agreement unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a finding to that effect.
| 4. | INDEMNITY IN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY |
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the
Articles, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4
if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this
Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company. No indemnification, hold harmless
or exoneration for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall
have been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court
in which the Proceeding was brought or the Cayman Court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless
or to exoneration.
| 5. | INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL |
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
but subject to Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to
(or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, indemnify, hold harmless and
exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not
wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues
or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles indemnify, hold harmless
and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with
each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful.
For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal,
with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
| 6. | INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but
subject to Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding
to which Indemnitee is not a party or threatened to be made a party, he or she shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and the Articles, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or
on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
| 7. | ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS |
Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4 or 5, but
subject to Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, indemnify, hold harmless
and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or
in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No
indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct
which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties to the Company or its shareholders or is an act or omission not in good
faith or which involves actual fraud or willful default.
| 8. | CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY |
(a) To
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law and the Articles, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights
provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying,
holding harmless or exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without
requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
at any time against Indemnitee.
(b) The
Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined
in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.
(c) The
Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought
by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall seek
payments or advances from the Company only to the extent that such payments or advances are unavailable from any insurance policy of the
Company covering Indemnitee.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company
shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance Expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment in connection
with any claim made against Indemnitee:
(a) for
which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity or advancement provision,
except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity
or advancement provision or otherwise;
(b) for
an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common
law; or
(c) except
as otherwise provided in Sections 14(f) and (g) hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding (or
any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee
against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or
any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration
payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law and the Articles.
| 10. | ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM |
(a) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 27, and to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable
law and the Articles, the Company shall pay the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be incurred by
Indemnitee within three months) in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) business days after the receipt by the Company
of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law and the Articles, be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard
to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement.
Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of advancement, including
Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. To the fullest extent required by
applicable law and the Articles, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon
the Company’s receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, applicable law and
the Articles or otherwise. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that Indemnitee was not so entitled
to indemnification, any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnitee. This Section 10(a) shall
not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section 9,
but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 9(b) prior to a final determination that Indemnitee is liable therefor.
| (b) | The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense. |
(c) The
Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty
or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent.
| 11. | PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION |
(a) Indemnitee
agrees to notify promptly the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information
or other document relating to any Proceeding, claim, issue or matter therein which may be subject to indemnification, hold harmless or
exoneration rights, or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.
(b) Indemnitee
may deliver to the Company a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement.
Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole
discretion. Following such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
shall be determined according to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.
| 12. | PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION |
(a) A
determination, if required by applicable law and the Articles, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a
majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if such directors so
direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (iv) by
vote of the shareholders by ordinary resolution. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any
determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which
indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall
be made within ten (10) business days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons
or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such
person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise
protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs
or Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person,
persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless
therefrom.
(b) In
the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof,
the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee
(unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising
it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements
of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board,
the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying
that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this
Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice
of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection;
provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements
of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity
the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If
such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and
until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within
twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof, no
Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Cayman Court for resolution
of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or
for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Cayman Court, and the person with respect to whom all objections
are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement
of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged
and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
(c) The
Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify and hold harmless such Independent
Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant
hereto.
| 13. | PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS |
(a) In
making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination
shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification
in accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption
in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure
of the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) that
Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has
not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(b) If
the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the
requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, be
deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material
fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the
request for indemnification, or (ii) a final judicial determination that any or all such indemnification is expressly prohibited
under applicable law and the Articles; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed
an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification
in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.
(c) The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the
right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(d) For
purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action
is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee
by the directors, manager, or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise,
its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member, or on information or records
given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing
member, by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise, its Board, any committee
of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member. The provisions of this Section 13(d) shall
not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
(e) The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, agent
or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
| 14. | REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE |
(a) In
the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, is not timely
made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made
pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification,
(iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 5, 6, 7 or the last sentence of Section 12(a) of this
Agreement within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment
is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3
or 4 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) business days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification, or (vii) payment to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement or otherwise
is not made in accordance with this Agreement within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Cayman Court to such indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or advancement
rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Except as set forth
herein, the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association shall apply to any such
arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
(b) In
the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall be conducted in all respects
as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.
(c) In
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to
be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated to receive advancement of Expenses under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden
of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses, as the case
may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement
adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee
shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 10 until a final determination is made with respect
to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).
(d) If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14,
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law and the Articles.
(e) The
Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any
such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(f) The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles against all Expenses
and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to Indemnitee,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding
or arbitration brought by Indemnitee: (i) to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement
or any other indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Articles now or hereafter
in effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee, regardless
of the outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration right,
advancement, contribution or insurance recovery, as the case may be (unless such judicial proceeding or arbitration was not brought by
Indemnitee in good faith).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject
to Section 27, to the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time
provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust
or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent
of Indemnitee.
| 16. | NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION; PRIORITY OF OBLIGATIONS |
(a) The
rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time
be entitled under applicable law and the Articles, the Articles, any agreement, a vote of shareholders or a resolution of directors, or
otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee
under this Agreement in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) or
claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status
prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law and the Articles, whether by statute or judicial
decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently
under the Articles or this Agreement, then this Agreement (without any further action by the parties hereto) shall automatically be deemed
to be amended to require that the Company indemnifies the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles.
No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other right or remedy.
(b) The
Articles permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but
not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on
behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by or on behalf of him or in such capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power
to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement and the Articles. The purchase, establishment, and
maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or
of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company
and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under
any such Indemnification Arrangement.
(c) To
the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees,
partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves
at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the
maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member, fiduciary, employee
or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee
is a party or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect,
the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(d) In
the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring
suit to enforce such rights. No such payment by the Company shall be deemed to relieve any insurer of its obligations.
(e) The
Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other
Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or
advancement of expenses from such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 27,
(i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration,
advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s
satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations
under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless,
exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Company.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, the Company is the primary indemnitor, and any indemnification or advancement obligation of the Sponsor or
its affiliates or members or any other Person is secondary.
All agreements and obligations of the Company contained
herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other company or corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long
as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement) by reason of his or her Corporate Status, whether or not he or she is acting in any such
capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement.
If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing
any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles; (b) such
provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and the Articles and to give the
maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested thereby.
| 19. | ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT |
(a) The
Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order
to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying
upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.
(b) Without
limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Articles of the Company as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) The
indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), shall
continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, trustee,
general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall
inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.
(d) The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially
all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to
perform if no such succession had taken place.
(e) The
Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable
and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree
that Indemnitee may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other
things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that
by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief
to which he or she may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law and the Articles, be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith.
The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent
jurisdiction, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law and the Articles.
| 20. | MODIFICATION AND WAIVER |
No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by
the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail
with postage prepaid, on the third (3rd) business day after the date on which it is so mailed, or (iii) if delivered by electronic

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee
in writing by the Company.
| 22. | APPLICABLE LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION |
This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties
shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to its conflict of
laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) agree
that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Cayman Court and not in
any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country; (b) consent to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Cayman Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement;
(c) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Cayman Court; and (d) waive, and agree
not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Cayman Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient
forum, or is subject (in whole or in part) to a jury trial. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, the parties
hereby agree that the mailing of process and other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided by Section 21
or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law and the Articles, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
| 23. | IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS |
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of
this Agreement.
The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action
shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or
legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action
of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period;
provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall
govern. The period of limitations set forth in this Section 25 shall no longer be applicable in the case of actual fraud or willful
default.
If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement
any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles, the Company
undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner that will enable the Company
to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
| 27. | WAIVER OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT |
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Indemnitee
hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each, a “Claim”) in or
to any monies in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the Company
and holders of shares issued in such offering, and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of,
any services provided to the Company and will not seek recourse against such trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, Indemnitee
acknowledges and agrees that any indemnification provided hereto will only be able to be satisfied by the Company if (i) the Company
has sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account to satisfy its obligations hereunder or (ii) the Company consummates a Business
Combination.
| 28. | MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE |
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement,
one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the officers/directors of the Company with coverage for
losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
The Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any such director or officer under such policy or policies. In all such insurance policies, the Indemnitee shall be named
as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured
of the Company’s directors and officers.

(b) At
least five (5) Business Days prior to a Subscription Closing Date, Subscriber shall notify the Company in writing of the Subscription
Closing Date and the portion of the Purchase Price to be funded at such Subscription Closing (each such notice, a “Subscription
Closing Date Notice”). No later than two Business Days following delivery of a Subscription Closing Date Notice, the Company
shall deliver by written notice to Subscriber the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price or portion thereof to be paid on
such Subscription Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber may pay future installments of the Purchase Price using such wire
instructions provided by the Company.
(c) On
each Subscription Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver the portion of the Purchase Price set forth in the applicable Subscription Closing
Date Notice for the Subscribed Notes by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified
by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber may, in its sole discretion, fund the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time, between the Transaction Closing Date and the twelve month anniversary of the Transaction Closing Date. The Company
shall deliver Subscriber’s Convertible Note with respect to the Purchase Price set forth in each Subscription Closing Date Notice
to Subscriber at each applicable Subscription Closing. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this
Section 2, delivery of the Convertible Notes shall be through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company; provided
that, if Marti determines in its reasonable discretion that such delivery is not reasonably practical or that the Convertible Notes and/or
such delivery would not satisfy the applicable requirements and/or procedures of the Depository Trust Company, such delivery shall be
by delivery of certificated convertible notes. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, or any
other day on which banks located in New York, New York are required or authorized by law to be closed for business.
(d) Each
Subscription Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction, or valid waiver in writing by each of the parties hereto, of the conditions
that, on the applicable Subscription Closing Date:
| (i) | the closing of the Transaction shall have occurred prior to such Subscription Closing; |
| (ii) | no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order,
law, rule or regulation which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and no such governmental authority
shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose such restraint or prohibition; and |
| (iii) | the Underlying Shares (as defined below) shall be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange,
the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market (as applicable, the “Stock Exchange”) subject only to official

contained in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations
and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or material adverse effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and
correct in all respects) at and as of such Subscription Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly
speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other
than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or material adverse effect, which representations and warranties
shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date), and consummation of such Subscription Closing shall constitute a
reaffirmation by Subscriber of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of Subscriber contained in this Convertible Note
Subscription Agreement as of such Subscription Closing Date, but without giving effect to consummation of the Transaction, or as of such
earlier date, as applicable; |
| (ii) | the representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in Section 4(w) of this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct at all times on or prior to such Subscription Closing Date, and consummation of
such Subscription Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by Subscriber of such representations and warranties; |
| (iii) | Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements
and conditions required by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior
to such Subscription Closing; provided, that, this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such noncompliance
is provided by the Company to Subscriber and Subscriber fails to cure such noncompliance in all material respects within five (5) Business
Days of receipt of such notice; and |
| (iv) | other documentation related to the Indenture shall be in conformity with the Indenture and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. |
(f) The
obligation of Subscriber to consummate a Subscription Closing after delivery of a Subscription Closing Date Notice shall be subject to
the satisfaction or valid waiver in writing by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the applicable Subscription Closing Date:
| (i) | all representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement
shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or
Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at
and as of such Subscription Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier
date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and
warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true
and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date), and consummation of such Subscription Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation
by the Company of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained in this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement as of such Subscription Closing Date, but without giving effect to consummation of the Transaction, or as of such earlier date,
as applicable, except, in each case, where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct (whether as of such
Subscription Closing Date or such earlier date), taken as a whole, does not result in a Company Material Adverse Effect; |
| (ii) | the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at
or prior to such Subscription Closing, except where the failure of such performance, satisfaction or compliance would not or would not
reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Subscription Closing;
provided, that, this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such noncompliance is provided by Subscriber
to the Company and the Company fails to cure such noncompliance in all material respects within five (5) Business Days of receipt
of such notice; |
| (iii) | other documentation related to the Indenture shall be in conformity with the Indenture and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Subscribers; and |
| (iv) | from and after the date hereof, there shall have not occurred any Company Material Adverse Effect. |
(g) Prior
to or at each Subscription Closing, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company all such other information as is reasonably requested in order
for the Company to issue the Subscribed Notes to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name
the Subscribed Notes are to be issued (or Subscriber’s nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) and a duly completed
and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.
Section 3. Company
Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:
(a) The
Company (i) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (ii) has the requisite corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into
and perform its obligations under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct
its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation)
in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with
respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect”
means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company that, individually or in the aggregate,
would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially delay the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Notes.
(b) The
Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Notes (the “Underlying Shares”) are duly authorized and, if and when issued upon conversion
of the Convertible Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens or other restrictions (other
than those arising under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, the Indenture, the governing and organizational documents of the
Company or any applicable securities laws), and will not have been issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights
created under the Company’s governing and organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Transaction Closing Date), or
by any contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
(c) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid
and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability
of equitable remedies. The Convertible Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and, on the Transaction
Closing Date, the Indenture will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. When issued and sold against receipt of the
consideration therefor, the Convertible Notes will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(d) Assuming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 4 of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, the Subscription and the compliance by the Company
with all of the provisions of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms
of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, (ii) the organizational
documents of the Company, or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency
or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and
(iii), would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or materially
affect the validity of the Subscribed Notes or Underlying Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects
with the terms of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
(e) Assuming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 4 of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing
or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including
the Stock Exchange) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement
(including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any)), other than (i) filings
required by applicable state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to Section 5
below, (iii) filings required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules of United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”), including the registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Transaction and the proxy
statement/prospectus included therein, (iv) filings required by the Stock Exchange, including with respect to (A) obtaining
stockholder approval of the Transaction or (B) requirements or regulations in connection with the issuance of the Underlying Shares
(if any) upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, including the filing of a supplemental listing application with the Stock Exchange,(v) filings
required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Merger Agreement, (vi) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, (vii) filings in connection with or as a result of the SEC Guidance (as defined
below), and (viii) those the failure of which to obtain would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Except
for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit,
action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
in writing against the Company or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator
outstanding against the Company.
(g) Assuming
the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act or any state securities (or Blue Sky) laws is required for the offer and sale of the
Subscribed Notes by the Company to Subscriber and issuance of the Underlying Shares (if any) to Subscriber upon conversion.
(h) Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Subscribed Notes. The Subscribed Notes and the Underlying
Shares (if any) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities
Act or any state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly or indirectly,
at any time within the past six (6) months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security
under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities
Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) as contemplated hereby
or the Other Convertible Notes and Underlying Shares (if any) as contemplated by the Other Subscription Agreements or (ii) cause
the offering of the Subscribed Notes and Underlying Shares (if any) pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement or the Other
Convertible Notes and Underlying Shares (if any) pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. Neither the Company nor any person acting
on the Company’s behalf has offered or sold or will offer or sell any securities, or has taken or will take any other action, which
would reasonably be expected to subject the offer, issuance or sale of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) or the
Other Convertible Notes and Underlying Shares (if any), as contemplated hereby, to the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
(i) No
“bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification
Event”) is applicable to the Company, except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii–iv) or (d)(3) of
the Securities Act is applicable.
(j) The
Company is in all material respects in compliance with, and has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that
alleges that the Company is not in compliance with, or is in default or violation of, the applicable provisions of (i) the Securities
Act, (ii) the Exchange Act, (iii) the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder,
(iv) the rules and regulations of the Commission, and (v) the rules of the Stock Exchange, except, in each case, where
such non-compliance, default, or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this representation and warranty shall not apply to the extent any of the foregoing matters
arise from or relate to the SEC Guidance (as defined below).
(k) The
Class A Shares are eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”), through its Deposit/Withdrawal
At Custodian (DWAC) system, and the Company is eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect
to the Class A Shares. The Company’s transfer agent is a participant in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.
The Class A Shares are not, and have not been at any time, subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar
restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of Class A Shares through DTC.
(l) No
broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed
Notes to Subscriber.
(m) As
of their respective dates, each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document required
to be filed by the Company with the Commission prior to the date hereof (collectively, as amended and/or restated since the time of their
filing, the “SEC Documents”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Documents, as of their
respective dates (or if amended, restated, or superseded by a filing prior to the Transaction Closing, on the date of such filing), contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents (or if amended, restated, or superseded by a filing prior to the Transaction Closing, on the date
of such filing) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission
with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United
States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”)
(except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes
required by GAAP). A copy of each SEC Document is available to each Subscriber via the Commission’s EDGAR system. There are no outstanding
or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any
of the SEC Documents as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statement
or information in the SEC Documents that relates to (i) the topics referenced in the Commission’s “Staff Statement on
Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” on April 12, 2021 or
(ii) the classification of the Company’s ordinary shares as permanent or temporary equity, or any subsequent guidance, statements
or interpretations issued by the Commission or the staff of the Commission, including guidance, statements or interpretations relating
to the foregoing or to other accounting matters, including matters relating to initial public offering securities or expenses (collectively,
the “SEC Guidance”), and no correction, amendment or restatement of any of the Company’s SEC Documents due to
the SEC Guidance shall be deemed to be a breach of any representation or warranty by the Company.
(n) As
of the date of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, the authorized share capital of the Company consists of (i) 200,000,000
Class A Shares, (ii) 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares”)
and (iii) 1,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preference Shares”). As of the date of this
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (iv) 14,375,000 Class A Shares are issued and outstanding, all of which are validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights, (v) 3,593,750 Founder Shares are issued and outstanding,
all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights, (vi) no Class A Shares
or Founder Shares are held in the treasury of the Company, (vii) 7,250,000 Private Placement Company Warrants, as defined in the
Merger Agreement as “Private Placement SPAC Warrants”, are issued and outstanding, (viii) 7,187,500 Public Company Warrants,
as defined in the Merger Agreement as “Public SPAC Warrants”, are issued and outstanding, and (ix) 14,437,500 Class A
Shares are reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company Warrants. As of the date of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement,
there are no Preference Shares issued and outstanding. Each Company Warrant is exercisable for one Class A Share at an exercise price
of $11.50, subject to the terms of such Company Warrant and, with respect to the Private Placement Company Warrants, the Company Warrant
Agreement, as defined in the Merger Agreement as the “SPAC Warrant Agreement”.
(o) The
issued and outstanding Class A Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for
trading on the Stock Exchange under the symbol “GLTA” (it being understood that the trading symbol of the Class A Shares
will be changed in connection with the Transaction Closing). There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by the Stock Exchange or the Commission with respect to any intention by such
entity to deregister the Class A Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange. The
Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act.
(p) The
Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Subscribed Notes and Other Convertible Notes and consummation of the
Transaction, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
(q) The
Other Subscription Agreements do not reflect a lower purchase price per $1,000 principal amount and do not contain terms that are more
favorable to any Other Subscriber than the terms of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement are to Subscriber, other than representations,
warranties and terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such investor or its affiliates or related funds (excluding any interest
accruing on Pre-funded Convertible Notes prior to the Closing). The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended or waived in any
material respect following the date of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement in a manner that would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the economic benefits that Subscriber would reasonably expect to receive under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement. The
Company shall not release any Other Subscriber under any Other Subscription Agreement from any of its obligations thereunder or any other
agreements with any Other Subscriber, unless it offers the same release to the Subscriber. For the avoidance of doubt, on or about the
Transaction Closing Date, the Pre-funded Convertible Notes shall be converted into Convertible Notes having the same terms as set forth
in the Indenture.
(r) Other
than the Other Subscription Agreements entered into with the Other Subscribers, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar
agreement that materially benefits any Other Subscriber (in such Other Subscriber’s capacity as an Other Subscriber) with respect
to the terms of the Transaction or an investment in the Company; provided that the Company has provided certain separate terms
to European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD”) pursuant to that certain side letter agreement entered
into by and between the Company and EBRD on or about the date hereof.
(s) With
respect to any offers or sales of the Subscribed Notes in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, none of the Company, any
of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any other person acting on behalf of the Company has, with
respect to the Subscribed Notes, offered the Subscribed Notes to buyers qualifying as “U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902
under the Securities Act) or in the United States or engaged in any “directed selling efforts” within the meaning of Rule 902
under the Securities Act; the Company, any affiliate of the Company and any person acting on behalf of the Company have complied with
any applicable “offering restrictions” within the meaning of such Rule 902; provided that no representation
or warranty is made in this paragraph with respect to the actions of the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates.
(t) Immediately
after giving effect to the Transaction and the transactions contemplated by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement: (i) the
fair value of the Company’s assets would exceed its liabilities (including contingent liabilities); (ii) the present fair saleable
value of the Company’s assets would be greater than the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts (including
contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature; (iii) the Company would be able to pay its liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) as they mature; (iv) the Company is “solvent” (within the meaning of applicable laws relating
to fraudulent transfers) and would not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and in which it is proposed
to be engaged following consummation of the Transaction and the transactions contemplated by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
The Company does not intend to incur, and the Company does not believe that it has incurred or will incur as a result of the Transaction
and the transactions contemplated by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, debts beyond the Company’s ability to pay such
debts as such debts mature.
(u) Other
than as set forth in the Merger Agreement, there are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Company is a party containing
anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Underlying Shares or (ii) the shares to
be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Transaction
Closing; provided, that any such holders will waive any such anti-dilution or similar provisions in connection with the Transaction.
(v) The
Company acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to the Company by Subscriber or
any of its officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
expressly set forth in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
(w) The
Company is in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions
Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder
and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency with jurisdiction
over the Company (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), except where such non-compliance would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, and no action, suit or proceeding by or before
any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws
is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.
Section 4. Subscriber
Representations and Warranties. Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) If
Subscriber is a legal entity, Subscriber (i) has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation and (ii) has the requisite power and authority to enter into, and perform its obligations
under, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement. If Subscriber is an individual, Subscriber has the legal competence and capacity
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
(b) If
Subscriber is an entity, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by Subscriber.
If Subscriber is an individual, Subscriber’s signature is genuine and the signatory has the legal competence and capacity to execute
this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Company, this
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) The
execution, delivery, and performance of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, the purchase of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying
Shares (if any) and the compliance by Subscriber with all of the provisions of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or
assets of Subscriber pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other
agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber
is subject; (ii) if Subscriber is a legal entity, the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (iii) any statute or any judgment,
order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or
any of its properties that in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on Subscriber’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any).
(d) Subscriber
(i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or is not a “U.S.
Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements
set forth on Annex A hereto, (ii) is acquiring the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) only for its own account
and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Subscribed Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor
accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act) and Subscriber has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements,
representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any) with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of
the Securities Act (and has provided the Company with the requested information on Annex A following the signature page hereto
and the information contained therein is accurate and complete). Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any). Accordingly, Subscriber is aware that this offering of the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any) meets the exemption from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C).
(e) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) are being offered in a transaction not involving
any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) have not
been registered under the Securities Act and that the Company is not required to register the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares
(if any) except as set forth in Section 5 of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of
by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof,
(ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (including without limitation
a private resale pursuant to so called “Section 4(a)1½”) (iii) an ordinary course pledge such as a broker
lien over account property generally, (iv) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States
within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and, in each of clauses (i)-(iii), in accordance with any applicable securities
laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or account entries representing the Subscribed
Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect, as set forth in the Indenture. Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) will be subject to these securities law transfer
restrictions, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or
otherwise dispose of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment
in the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the
Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) will not be immediately eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) until at least one year following
the filing of certain required information with the Commission after the Transaction Closing Date. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any).
(f) Subscriber
understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) directly from the Company.
Subscriber further acknowledges that there have not been, and Subscriber hereby agrees that it is not relying on, any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by the Company, Marti or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subscribed
Companies”), the Placement Agent, any of its or their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees,
partners, agents or representatives, any other party to the Transaction or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other
than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
Subscriber acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document provided to or reviewed by Subscriber in connection with the Subscription
has been prepared by the Placement Agent.
(g) In
making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), Subscriber has relied solely upon an independent
investigation made by Subscriber and the Company’s representations in Section 3 of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement. Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agent concerning the Company, the
Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), or the Subscription. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has had access
to, has received, and has had an adequate opportunity to review, such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment
decision with respect to the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), including with respect to the Company, the Subscribed
Companies and the Transaction, and Subscriber has made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant financial, tax and
other economic considerations relevant to Subscriber’s investment in the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed the Company’s filings with the Commission.
Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity
to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s),
if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any),
including but not limited to information concerning the Company, the Subscribed Companies, the Merger Agreement, and the Subscription.
(h) Subscriber
acknowledges that certain information provided by the Company was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions
and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber acknowledges
that such information and projections were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agent and that the Placement Agent does
not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information and projections. Subscriber
further acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber was preliminary and subject to change, including in the registration
statement and the proxy statement/prospectus that the Company intends to file with the Commission (which will include substantial additional
information about the Company, Subscribed Companies and the Transaction and will update and supersede the information previously provided
to Subscriber).
(i) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that none of the Subscribed Companies or the Placement Agent nor its or their respective affiliates or any of
such person’s or its or their respective affiliates’ control persons, officers, directors, partners, members, managing members,
managers, agents, employees or other representatives, legal counsel, financial advisors, accountants or agents (collectively, “Representatives”)
has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), nor is
such information or advice necessary or desired. None of the Subscribed Companies, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates
or Representatives has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the Subscribed Companies or the quality or value of the Subscribed
Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any). The Placement Agent and its affiliates or Representatives have made no independent investigation
with respect to the Company, the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), or the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of any
information supplied to Subscriber by the Company or on its behalf.
(j) In
connection with Subscriber’s investment decision and issuance of the Subscribed Notes to Subscriber, neither the Placement Agent
nor any of its affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber.
(k) [Intentionally
omitted.]
(l) Subscriber
became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber
and the Company or by means of contact from the Placement Agent, and the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) were offered
to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Company or its affiliates. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering
of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), nor were the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) offered to
Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) (i) were not
offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (ii) are
not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state
securities laws.
(m) Subscriber
acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Notes and the
Underlying Shares (if any), including those set forth in the SEC Documents. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares
(if any), and Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as Subscriber
has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer”
(as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity
transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment
strategies involving a security or securities, and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the
purchase of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any). Accordingly, the Subscriber understands that the offering meets (i) the
exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).
(n) Without
limiting the representations and warranties set forth in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, Subscriber has analyzed and fully
considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) and determined that the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any) are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable
future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges specifically
that a possibility of total loss exists.
(o) Subscriber
understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any) or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(p) Subscriber
is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury
Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the
United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program,
(ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S.
shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if
requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable
law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”),
as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively with
the BSA, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), such Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with
applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required by applicable law, Subscriber maintains policies and procedures
reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required
by applicable law, Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used
to purchase the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) were legally derived.
(q) No
foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state
have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Company as a result
of the Subscription such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R.
Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after
the Transaction Closing as a result of the Subscription.
(r) If
Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined
in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of
ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S.
or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered
to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary
or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) it has not
relied on the Company or any of its affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) for investment advice or as the Plan’s
fiduciary with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), and none of the Transaction
Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer
the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying
Shares (if any) will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
(s) Subscriber
has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment pursuant to Section 2, Subscriber will have sufficient
funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.
(t) Subscriber
acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm
or corporation (including, without limitation, the Company, the Subscribed Companies, the Placement Agent, or any of their respective
affiliates or Representatives), other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 of this
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Subscriber agrees that none of
(i) any Other Subscriber pursuant to an Other Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of the
Company’s ordinary shares (including the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Subscriber)
nor (ii) the Company (other than with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3
of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement), the Subscribed Companies, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates
or Representatives, shall be liable (including, without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties,
judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by Subscriber, the Company or any other person or entity), whether
in contract, tort or otherwise, or have any liability or obligation to Subscriber or any Other Subscriber, or any person claiming through
Subscriber or any Other Subscriber, pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement or related to the private placement of the
Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any), the negotiation hereof or the subject matter hereof, or the transactions contemplated
hereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of the foregoing in connection with the purchase of
the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any).
(u) No
broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission to be paid by Subscriber solely in connection with the
sale of the Subscribed Notes to Subscriber.
(v) At
all times on or prior to the final Subscription Closing Date, Subscriber has no binding commitment to dispose of, or otherwise transfer
(directly or indirectly), any of the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any).
(w) Subscriber
hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber, shall,
directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in any hedging activities or execute any Short
Sales in each case with respect to the securities of the Company and in each case prior to the Transaction Closing or the earlier termination
of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation,
all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect
stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts,
options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S.
broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4(w) shall restrict
Subscriber’s ability to maintain bona fide hedging positions in respect of the warrants held by Subscriber as of the date hereof.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares
(if any) may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided that such pledge shall be (i) pursuant
to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with,
a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of
the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof; provided,
however, that neither the Company nor its counsel shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in
connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Subscribed
Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) are not subject to any contractual lock up or prohibition on pledging, the form of such acknowledgment
to be subject to review and comment by the Company in all respects.
(x) Except
as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by Subscriber with the Commission with respect
to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding securities prior to the date hereof, Subscriber is not currently (and at
all times through the final Subscription Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), including any group acting
for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under
the Exchange Act).
(y) [Intentionally
omitted.]
(z) [Intentionally
omitted.]
(aa) Subscriber
acknowledges that any restatement, revision, correction or other modification of the SEC Documents to the extent resulting from the SEC
Guidance shall not constitute a breach by the Company of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
(bb) If
Subscriber is not a U.S. Person (as defined under Rule 902 under the Securities Act) and the offer and sale of the Subscribed Notes
is being made in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, (i) Subscriber was or will be outside the United States at the
time any buy order for the Class A Shares was or is originated, and (ii) neither Subscriber nor any of its affiliates (as defined
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) has, with respect to the Subscribed Notes, engaged in any “directed selling efforts”
within the meaning of Rule 902 under the Securities Act. Subscriber further represents that Subscriber is not acquiring the Class A
Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person.
Section 5. Registration
of Underlying Shares.
(a) The
Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Transaction Closing Date, the Company will file with the Commission
(at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Underlying Shares (if any) (the
“Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement
declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than seventy-five (75) calendar days after
the Transaction Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall
be extended to one hundred five (105) calendar days after the Transaction Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and
comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further that the Company shall have the Registration Statement
declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier)
by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review;
provided, further, that (i) if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission
is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business
and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by
the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for. Upon Subscriber’s timely request, the Company shall provide
a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration
Statement with the Commission (the “Filing Date”). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber prior to the
filing of the Registration Statement, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided,
that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will
have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement
due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Underlying Shares by the applicable stockholders
or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Underlying Shares which is equal to the maximum number
of Underlying Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Underlying Shares or other shares to be registered
for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as
promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Underlying Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the
Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file one or more new Registration Statement(s) (such amendment or new Registration
Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Underlying Shares and
cause such amendment or Registration Statement(s) to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in
any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness
Deadline”); provided, that the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) calendar
days after the filing of such Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided
from, the Commission; provided, further, that the Company shall have such Registration Statement declared effective within
ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission
that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further,
that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness
Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed
for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the
Commission remains closed for. Any failure by the Company to file a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional
Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect a Registration Statement as set forth
in this Section 5.
(b) The
Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of
a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective
with respect to Subscriber, including to prepare and file any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related prospectus such that the prospectus will not include any untrue statement or a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, until the earliest
to occur of (i) two (2) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which Subscriber
ceases to hold any Subscribed Notes or Underlying Shares (if any) issued pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and
(iii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Underlying Shares (if any) issued upon conversion of the Convertible
Notes issued pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of
the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement
for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2),
if applicable) (the earliest of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the “End Date”). Prior to the End Date, the Company will
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as
soon as reasonably practicable; file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber
to resell the Underlying Shares (if any) pursuant to the Registration Statement; qualify the Underlying Shares (if any) for listing on
the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A Shares are then listed and update or amend the Registration Statement
as necessary to include the Underlying Shares (if any). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) for so long
as Subscriber holds Subscribed Notes or Underlying Shares (if any), make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company
under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements to enable Subscriber to resell the Underlying Shares
(if any) pursuant to Rule 144, (B) at the reasonable request of Subscriber, deliver all the necessary documentation to cause
the Company’s Trustee to remove all restrictive legends from any Underlying Shares (if any) being sold under the Registration Statement
or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale the Underlying Shares (if any), or that may be sold by Subscriber without restriction
under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (C) cause its legal counsel to
deliver to the Trustee the necessary legal opinions required by the Trustee, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause
(B) upon the receipt of Subscriber representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and
in a form reasonably acceptable to) such counsel. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Underlying Shares (if any) to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request
to assist the Company in making the determination described above.
(c) The
Company’s obligations to include the Underlying Shares (if any) in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing
in writing to the Company a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding Subscriber,
the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Underlying Shares (if any) as shall be
reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Underlying Shares (if any), and Subscriber shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations;
provided, that the Company shall request such information from Subscriber, including the selling stockholder questionnaire, at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Filing Date. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant
to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such
registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of the Underlying Shares
(if any). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement,
and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such
Registration Statement if (A) it determines in good faith that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material
misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, (B) such filing or use would reasonably be expected to materially
affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would reasonably be expected to require premature disclosure of
information that would materially adversely affect the Company, (C) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of
the Company’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental
to the Company, (D) the majority of the board determines to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration
Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the SEC Guidance or
future Commission guidance directed at special purpose acquisition companies, or any related disclosure or related matters, (E) it
determines during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder, or (F) necessary in connection with the preparation
and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement (each such circumstance, a “Suspension
Event”); provided, that, (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement
for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and
(x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber
of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.
(d) Upon
receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company)
of the happening of (i) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement
or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the
date of such event, (ii) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, which notice shall
be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such Suspension Event, or (iii) or if as a result of a Suspension
Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made
(in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the
Underlying Shares (if any) under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144)
until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects
the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective
or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality
of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request
or requirement. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy,
all copies of the prospectus covering the Underlying Shares (if any) in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however,
that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Underlying Shares (if any) shall not apply (w) to
the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory
or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (x) to copies stored
electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(e) Subscriber
may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from
the Company otherwise required by this Section 5; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out
Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not
deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each
time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at
least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would
have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 5(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the
Company will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to
Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion
of such Suspension Event or other event immediately upon its availability.
(f) For
purposes of this Section 5 of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, (i) “Underlying Shares” shall be deemed
to include, as of any date of determination, any equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Underlying Shares (if any) by
way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar events, and (ii) “Subscriber”
shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 5 shall have been duly assigned.
(g) The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber, its selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
(in each case, to the extent Subscriber is a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, members, managers, partners,
agents and employees of such persons, each person who controls such persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of each such
controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”)
that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue
statements, omissions or alleged omissions are (1) based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company
by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or (2) result
from or in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 5(d) or
(ii) any material violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law
or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with its obligations under this Section 5. Notwithstanding the forgoing,
the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the
request of Subscriber, the Company shall provide Subscriber with an update on any threatened or asserted proceedings arising from or
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which the Company receives notice in writing.
(h) Subscriber
shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents and employees, each person who controls
the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
officers, members, managers, partners, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing
to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Underlying Shares giving rise to such indemnification
obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).
(i) Any
person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with
respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by
the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying
party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability
on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(j) The
indemnification provided for under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified
party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Notes or the Underlying Shares (if any).
(k) If
the indemnification provided under this Section 5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided,
however, that the liability of Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of the
Subscribed Notes giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or
relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), or on behalf of such indemnifying party or indemnified
party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party
in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(k) from any person or entity who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable
for punitive damages in connection with this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 6. Termination.
This Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest
to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written
agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, with the prior written consent of Marti, and
(c) the one year anniversary of the Transaction Closing Date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability
for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to
recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger
Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 6, any monies
paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) be returned
in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without
any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated.
Section 7. Trust
Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public
offering (the “IPO”) dated July 8, 2021 available at www.sec.gov, the Company has established a trust account
(the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously
with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company, its public stockholders and certain
other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO), and that, except as otherwise described in such prospectus, the Company may disburse
monies from the Trust Account only to (x) its public stockholders in the event they elect to have their Class A Shares redeemed
for cash in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, an amendment to its certificate of incorporation
to extend the deadline by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, or the Company’s failure to consummate
an initial business combination by such deadline, (y) pay certain taxes from time to time, or (z) the Company after or concurrently
with the consummation of its initial business combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Convertible Note
Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber,
on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account,
arising out or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and regardless
of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively
referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against
the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and (c) will
not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s
right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities
of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such irrevocable waiver
is a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and further intends and understands
such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with applicable law. To the extent Subscriber commences
any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives,
which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges
and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber
(or any person claiming on Subscriber’s behalf or in lieu of Subscriber) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 7 shall (x) serve to limit or
prohibit Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account,
for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Subscriber may have in the future
against the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the
Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or (z) be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s
right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities
of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7 shall survive termination of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.

given in accordance with this Section 8(a).
(b) Subscriber
acknowledges that the Company and others, including after the Transaction Closing, Marti, will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement; provided, however,
that the foregoing clause of this Section 8(b) shall not give the Company, the Placement Agent, or Marti any rights other
than those expressly set forth herein. Prior to each Subscription Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if it becomes
aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no
longer accurate in all material respects. The Company acknowledges that Subscriber and the Subscribed Companies will rely on the acknowledgments,
understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement. Prior to each Subscription
Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify Subscriber, and the Subscribed Companies if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments,
understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.
(c) The
Placement Agent shall not be liable to Subscriber, whether in contract, tort, under the federal or state securities laws, or otherwise,
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Placement Agent in connection with the Subscription. Subscriber, on behalf of itself
and its affiliates, (i) hereby releases the Placement Agent in respect of any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments,
awards, liabilities, costs, expenses, or disbursements related to the Subscription and (ii) shall not commence any litigation or
bring any claim against the Placement Agent in any court or any other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with,
the Subscription, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, or liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith, or gross negligence of the Placement Agent or any of its
directors, officers, employees representatives or controlling persons. Subscriber agrees that the foregoing release and waiver is given
freely and after obtaining independent legal advice and understands such release and waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable against
Subscriber in accordance with applicable law.
(d) Each
of the Company, the Placement Agent and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement or
a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered
hereby.
(e) Each
party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated
herein.
(f) Neither
this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Notes
and the Underlying Shares (if any) acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 5) may be transferred or assigned
by Subscriber. Neither this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred
or assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of Subscriber and Marti, other than in connection with the Transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement to
one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on
behalf of Subscriber) or designees upon written notice to the Company and Marti or, with the Company’s and Marti’s prior
written consent, to another person; provided, that in the case of any such assignment, the assignee(s) shall become a Subscriber
hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein
to the extent of such assignment and provided further that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Subscriber of its obligations
hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations, unless the Company and Marti has each given its prior written consent
to such relief.
(g) All
the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall survive
the Subscription Closings.
(h) The
Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility
of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Notes and to register the Underlying Shares (if any) for resale, and Subscriber shall promptly
provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal
policies and procedures; provided, that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential, except
(A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required
by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations
of the Stock Exchange. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may file a form of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement with the
Commission as an exhibit to a current or periodic report of the Company or a registration statement of the Company.
(i) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the
parties hereto and Marti.
(j) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, together with the form of Indenture attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes
all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to
the subject matter hereof.
(k) Except
as otherwise provided herein, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. Except as set forth in Section 4, Section 5, Section 6,
Section 8(b), Section 8(d), Section 8(f), Section 8(i) and this Section 8(k) with
respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies
upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such
persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement for the purposes of, and to the extent
of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.
(l) The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Convertible Note
Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal
remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief,
including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Subscription and the provisions
of the Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties
hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any
such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 8(m) is
unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for
specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(m) If
any provision of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
shall continue in full force and effect.
(n) No
failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and no
course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment
or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver
of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in
any circumstances without such notice or demand.
(o) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, in .pdf
or other electronic submission) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed
the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(p) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.
(q) EACH
PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY
OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.
(r) The
parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within
the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter,
any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction
over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware) (collectively the “Designated Courts”). Each
party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect
to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of
immunity from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in
the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of
any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 8(a) of this Convertible Note Subscription
Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to
which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.
(s) This
Convertible Note Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon,
arising out of, or related to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto.
(t) The
Company shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately following the date of this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement, file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Disclosure Document”)
disclosing all material terms of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and, to the extent not disclosed pursuant to a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission prior to the date hereof, the Other Subscription Agreements and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company has provided
to Subscriber or any of Subscriber’s affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure
Document and including as exhibits to the Disclosure Document, the form of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and the Other
Subscription Agreement (in each case, without redaction). Except to the extent the Subscriber or an affiliate thereof is a party to a
non-disclosure agreement with Marti, which, by its terms, contains trade restrictions that are to terminate after the Transaction Closing
Date, upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Company’s knowledge, Subscriber and Subscriber’s affiliates, attorneys,
agents and representatives shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its
affiliates, officers, directors, or employees or agents, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar
obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, with the Company, the Placement Agent, or any of their respective affiliates.
Notwithstanding anything in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company (i) shall not publicly disclose
the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in
any press release, without the prior written consent of Subscriber and (ii) shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or
any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any filing with the Commission
or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, except (A) as required by the federal
securities laws, rules or regulations and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations,
at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange, in which case of clause
(A) or (B), the Company shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such permitted disclosure, and
shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested
by the Company for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction (including filings
with the Commission).
(u) If
any change in the Class A Shares shall occur between the date of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and a Subscription
Closing by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, exchange, or readjustment
of shares, or any stock dividend, the number of Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) issued to Subscriber hereunder shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
(v) The
obligations of Subscriber under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other
Subscriber or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscriber or
other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying
Shares (if any) pursuant to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber
or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, Marti or any
of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or by any agent
or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to
any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.
Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or Other Subscriber or other investor
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other
investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent
for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection
with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Notes and the Underlying Shares (if any) or enforcing its rights under this Convertible
Note Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation
the rights arising out of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
(w) The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against
any party. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules
or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined
in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular
or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the
masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word “including” in this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement
shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word “or” shall not be exclusive.
(x) The
Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes
that arise from any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement.
Section 9. Qualified
ABL Commitments and Qualified Equity Commitments. For purposes of this Convertible Note Subscription Agreement:
(a) “Qualification

ABL Commitments” shall mean lending commitments pursuant to a loan agreement or similar definitive agreement from reputable

with material terms that are substantively similar to, or no less favorable to Marti than, the material terms with respect to the proposed
Qualified ABL Commitments set forth in the Qualification Notice; and
(c) “Qualified
Equity Commitments” shall mean commitments to acquire equity interests of the Company pursuant to definitive commitment or subscription

Exhibit 4.10
GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated
as of July 10, 2023 (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, this “Guaranty”),
made by each of the undersigned subsidiaries of Marti Technologies, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”)
(each individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) and each Additional Guarantor that
becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 22 hereof. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined
in the Indenture (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Issuer, and U.S.
BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (together with any successor trustee, the “Trustee”) and as collateral
agent (together with any successor collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”), have entered into an Indenture, dated
as of even date herewith (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, the “Indenture”);
WHEREAS, in recognition of the
direct or indirect benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer under the Indenture, each Guarantor
desires to enter into this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition to
the issuance and sale of the Notes under the Indenture that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty in order to
guarantee the Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Indenture and the Notes.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor
hereby agrees with the Trustee for the benefit of itself, the Holders and the Collateral Agent as follows:
1. The
Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier
date such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable hereunder,
such Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured
Parties, on first demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantee provided
hereunder constitutes an undertaking of third person’s obligations (üçüncü kişinin fiilini taahhüt)
as regulated under Article 128 of Turkish Code of Obligations (Law No. 6098). This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim
is ever made upon any Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement
or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party), then
and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor,
notwithstanding any revocation of this Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed
Party, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same
extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
No failure or delay on the part
of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
which any Secured Party would otherwise have. Except as otherwise explicitly required hereby or by any other Note Document, no notice
to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
2. Bankruptcy.
Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date
such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees the payment of any and all of its
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by the Issuer or any such other Guaranteed Party
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 7.01(A)(ix) or (x) of the Indenture, and jointly
and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date such Guarantor is released from this
Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), promises to pay such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties, on order,
on demand, in lawful money of the United States.
3. Nature
of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, direct, joint and several, and unconditional, irrevocable
and exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by such Guarantor,
any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted
under law, that the liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application
of payment by the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty or undertaking
of such Guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking (other than payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment), (d) any
dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, (e) any payment made to any Secured
Party on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Secured Party repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral
or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (f) any action or inaction by the Secured Parties
as contemplated in Section 5 or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.
4. Independent
Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor,
the Issuer, any other party or any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any
Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any other party, the Issuer or any other
Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party, the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party be joined in any such
action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which
operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Issuer or any such other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations
as to the relevant Guarantor. The provisions of this Guaranty constitute a continuing guaranty and include all present and future Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new
or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations after prior Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To
the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke the provisions of this Guaranty as to future Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Trustee, (ii) no such revocation
shall apply to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Trustee of such written notice (including any
subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof),
(iii) no such revocation shall apply to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or
created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any Guaranteed Party in existence on the date of such revocation, (iv) no payment
by any Guarantor or from any other source, prior to the date of Trustee’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce
the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by the Issuer or from any source other than such Guarantor
subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as to which the
revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum
obligation of such Guarantor which remain guaranteed hereunder.
5. Authorization.
To the fullest extent permitted under law, each Guarantor authorizes the Secured Parties without notice or demand, and without affecting
or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time (but without obligation) to:
(a) change
the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees
thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply to
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(b) take
and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon
or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever
securing, the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in
respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;
(c) exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, or any other Person or otherwise act or refrain
from acting;
(d) release
or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Person or other obligors;
(e) settle
or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any
liability (whether due or not) to its creditors other than the Secured Parties;
(f) except
as otherwise expressly required by the Security Agreements, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Issuer
or such other Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;
(g) consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Guaranty, any other Note Document, or any of the instruments or
agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Guaranty (subject to Section 14),
any other Note Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(h) take
any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such
Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty.
6. Reliance.
It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or the officers,
directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
7. Subordination.
Any indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer or such other Guaranteed Party owing to the Secured Parties and, if the Trustee so requests at a
time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, all such indebtedness to such Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received
by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties on account of
the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer or such other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties, but without affecting or impairing
in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution or indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party which it
may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise)
until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately
preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to Trustee
to be credited and applied to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, or to be held as Collateral for any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable
hereunder thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Guarantor may exercise any rights of subrogation,
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to
any property or asset of, any other Guarantor (the “Foreclosed Guarantor”), including after the Termination Date, if
all or any portion of the obligations under the Indenture and the Notes have been satisfied in connection with a sale or other disposition
by Trustee or the Collateral Agent of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Guarantor, whether pursuant to the Security Agreements or
otherwise.
8. Waiver.
(a) Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any right to require any Secured Party to (i) proceed
against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Guarantor or any other Person, or any collateral or
(iv) pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted
under applicable law, any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor,
any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person (other than payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the
extent of such payment and release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18) or based on or arising
out of the disability of the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any other Person, or the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for
any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party (other than payment of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment and release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18).
The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder by one or
more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is
permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed
Party or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except
to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, any
defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right
of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Issuer, any other Guaranteed Party or any other
Person or any security.
(b) Each
Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including,
without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices
of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility
for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuer’s and each other Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and
of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent
of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor any of the other Secured Parties
shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
(c) Each
Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted under law, (i) subordinates to the payment in full of the obligations under the Indenture
and the Notes, any right to assert against the Issuer or any other Guaranteed Party, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim,
or claim which each Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the Issuer or any other party liable to the Issuer or such
other Guaranteed Party; and (ii) waives any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or
indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security therefor.
9. Maximum
Liability. It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor and the Secured Parties that this Guaranty shall be enforced against such
Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers),
then the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and such Guarantor shall pay,
if and when required pursuant to the terms hereof, the maximum amount of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible
under applicable law.
10. Enforcement.
Each Secured Party agrees (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of
the Trustee, acting for itself or upon the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding,
and that no other Person shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed
that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Guaranty.
Each Holder further agrees (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director,
officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a
Guarantor hereunder).
11. Representations
and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that:
(a) Such
Guarantor has the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other applicable business entity power and authority, as the case
may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Note Document to which it is party and
has taken all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other applicable business entity action, as the case may
be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty and each such other Note Document. Such Guarantor has
duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and each other Note Document to which it is a party, and this Guaranty and each such other Note
Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity
or at law).
(b) Neither
the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Note Document to which it is a party, nor compliance
by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, or memorandum
and articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent organizational
documents), as applicable, of such Guarantor.
(c) The
Guarantor agrees and accepts to fulfill its notification obligation within 30 days of the date of issuance of this Guaranty Agreement
required by Article 18 of Decree No. 32 on the Protection of the Value of the Turkish Currency.
(d) The
Guarantor is not bankrupt or insolvent nor has it ceased or suspended generally payments of its debts or announced any intention to do
so and there is no admission by it of its inability to do so.
(e) The
Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they fall due, and will not be rendered unable to pay its debts as they fall due because of its
entry into and performance of this Guaranty Agreement.
(f) The
Guarantor has not commenced negotiations with any creditor with a view to readjustment or rescheduling of its indebtedness nor has it
made an assignment for the benefit of or a composition with its creditors, and no moratorium has been declared in respect of its indebtedness,
and no event has occurred and no proceeding or action has been taken under the laws of any jurisdiction that is analogous to or has an
effect similar to any of the matters referred to in this paragraph.
12. Covenants.
Each Guarantor that is not a party to the Indenture covenants and agrees that on and after the Issue Date (or, if later, the date on which
any Additional Guarantor becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 22) and until the Termination Date (or such earlier date
released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in Section 3 of the Indenture.
13. Successors
and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
14. Amendments.
Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each
Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute
a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and the Trustee (with
each other consent required pursuant to Section 8 of the Indenture).
15. Authorization.
Subject, in each case, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.13 of the Indenture, in addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without obtaining a judgment or the
approval or consent of or notice to the Issuer, presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Guarantor, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) (other than accounts
used (i) solely for making payroll and withholding tax payments related thereto and other employee wage and benefit payments and
accrued and unpaid employee compensation payments (including salaries, wages, benefits and expense reimbursements, 401(k) and other
retirement plans and employee benefits, including rabbi trusts for deferred compensation and health care benefits), (ii) solely for
paying taxes, including sales taxes, or (iii) as an escrow account, a fiduciary or trust account or otherwise held exclusively for
the benefit of an unaffiliated third party (including any account solely holding amounts representing fines, violations, fees and similar
amounts paid by third parties and owed to municipalities)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Holder, the Collateral
Agent or the Trustee to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations
to the Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Holder, the Collateral Agent
or the Trustee shall have made any demand hereunder and although such Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of
them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
16. Notice, etc.
All notices, requests, demands or other communications pursuant hereto shall be sent in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth
in Section 11.01 of the Indenture. However, any notice or communication relating to default, termination and rescission must be served
in accordance with Article 18/3 of the Turkish Commercial Code (Law No. 6102) through a notary public, by telegram or registered
mail or by e-mail with secure electronic signature.
17. CHOICE
OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SECURED PARTIES
AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action
or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty (except that in the case of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings with respect
to any Guarantor, actions or proceedings related to this Guaranty and the other Note Documents may be brought in such court holding such
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings) may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America
for the Southern District of New York in each case which are located in the County of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this
Guaranty, each Guarantor and each Holder (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Without limiting the generality
of any of the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees, without prejudice to the enforcement of a judgment obtained in New York according to the
provision of Article 54 of the Act on International Private Law and Procedure Law of the Republic (Law No. 5718) (the “Private
International Law”) that in the event that the Guarantor is sued in a court in the Republic of Turkey in connection with this
Guaranty Agreement, such judgment obtained in New York shall constitute conclusive evidence of the existence and amount of the claim against
the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Article 193 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic (Law No. 6100) and Article 58
and Article 59 of the Private International Law. Each Guarantor irrevocably appoints Marti Technologies I Inc., as Delaware corporation,
with an office at 3500 South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, 19901, as its authorized agent to receive
on behalf of it and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any proceeding.
If for any reason such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each Guarantor shall forthwith appoint a new agent
of recognized standing for service of process in the United States and deliver to the Trustee a copy of the new agent’s acceptance
of that appointment within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, any Note Agent or any Holder to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby further
irrevocably waives any claim that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over it, and agrees not to plead or claim in any legal action
or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Note Document to which it is a party brought in any of the aforesaid courts that
any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over it. Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty)
further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the
mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in Section 16.
Each Guarantor, each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such
service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or
under any other Note Document to which it is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein
shall affect the right of any such party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction.
(b) EACH
GUARANTOR, EACH SECURED PARTY (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE
AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN
ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(c) EACH
GUARANTOR, EACH SECURED PARTY (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY.
18. Release.
In the event that a Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of a transaction permitted under the Indenture, such
Guarantor shall upon ceasing to be a Subsidiary be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty
shall, as to each such Guarantor, terminate, and have no further force or effect. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, this Guaranty
shall automatically and without further action, as to all Guarantors, terminate and have no further force and effect. The Trustee (and
each Holder (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) irrevocably authorizes the Trustee) to, at the Guarantors’ expense,
execute and deliver to the Guarantors such documents as the Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence, as applicable, the release
of such Guarantor from, or the termination in full of, this Guaranty.
19. Right
of Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of
contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with
the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”)
is made on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results
in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant
Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”),
each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution
Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to
(x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate
Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right
of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of
each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations
have been paid in full, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution
arising pursuant to this Section 19 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s
obligations and liabilities in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As
used in this Section 19, (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage
obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors;
(ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth of such Guarantor
and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable
value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including
contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty shall thereafter have no contribution obligations,
or rights, pursuant to this Section 19, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess
Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining
Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder
by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this
Section 19, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of
contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have
been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute
an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution.
20. Counterparts;
Etc. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Guarantors and the Trustee. The provisions of Section 11.14
of the Indenture are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.
21. Payments.
All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense (other than payment of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment), and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.04 and 2.05 of the Indenture.
22. Additional
Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is required, or with respect to which the Issuer elects
to cause, to become a party to this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Indenture, shall become
a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a counterpart hereof, or a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), and delivering same to the Trustee and (i) such Person shall be referred
to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor”
shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Note Document to a “Guarantor”
shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Note Document to the “Guaranty,”
“thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this
Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.
23. Concerning
the Trustee. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement solely in its capacity as Trustee under the
Indenture. In acting hereunder, whether or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Trustee shall be entitled to the rights, protections,
immunities and indemnities of the Trustee set forth in the Indenture as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities
and indemnities were set forth herein and therein.

forms of the terms defined.
“Guaranteed Obligations”
shall mean the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the unpaid principal
and interest on each Note issued by the Issuer under the Indenture, together with all the other obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture

under, arising out of or in connection with the Indenture and each other Note Document to which any of the Issuer or the Guarantors is
a party and the due performance and compliance by the Issuer and the Guarantors with all the terms, conditions and agreements contained
in the Indenture, the Notes and in each such other Note Document.
“Guaranteed Party”

[Form of]
JOINDER AGREEMENT
[ ], 20[ ]
Reference is made to (a) the
Guaranty Agreement, dated as of [__] (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time,
the “Guaranty”), among Marti Technologies, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”),
the subsidiaries of the Issuer party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (together
with any successor trustee, the “Trustee”) and (b) the Indenture, dated as of July 10, 2023, between the
Issuer, the Trustee and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent (as amended, amended and restated, modified,
supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guaranty or, if not defined therein, the Indenture.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, in recognition of
the direct or indirect benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer under the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned Subsidiary
(the “New Guarantor”) is required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Guaranty, or the Issuer has otherwise
elected in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Guaranty to cause such New Guarantor, to become a Guarantor by executing
this joinder agreement (this “Joinder Agreement”) to the Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Trustee
and the New Guarantor hereby agree as follows:
1. Guaranty.
In accordance with Section 22 of the Guaranty, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with
the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, until the Termination
Date (or such earlier date such Guarantor is released from this Guaranty in accordance with Section 18), guarantees, jointly
and severally with the other Guarantors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Parties.
2. Covenants;
Representations and Warranties. The New Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable
to it as a Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor
thereunder are true and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof, except for representations and warranties that
are qualified as to “materiality”, “material adverse effect” or similar language, in which case such representations
and warranties are true and correct (after giving effect to any such qualification therein) in all respects as of such date, in each case
unless expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date. Each reference to a Guarantor in the Indenture and to a Guarantor in the Guaranty shall,
from and after the date hereof, be deemed to include the New Guarantor.
3. Severability.
Any provision of this Joinder Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
4. Counterparts;
Etc. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Joinder Agreement. The provisions of Section 11.14 of the Indenture are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.
5. No
Waiver. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
6. Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the New Guarantor, the Trustee or any Holder shall be governed by the terms of Section 16
of the Guaranty.
7. Governing
Law. THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED
BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8. Concerning
the Trustee. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, is entering into this Joinder Agreement solely in its capacity
as Trustee and not in its individual or corporate capacity. In acting hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges
and immunities set forth in the Indenture and the other Note Documents as though fully set forth herein.

date showing the amount and types of insurance coverage as of such date, (ii) upon request of any Secured Party from time to time,
full information as to the insurance carried, (iii) promptly following receipt of notice from any insurer, a copy of any notice
of cancellation or material change in coverage from that existing on the date hereof, (iv) forthwith, notice of any cancellation
or nonrenewal of coverage by such Grantor, and (v) promptly after such information is available to such Grantor, full information
as to any claim for an amount in excess of $5,000,000 with respect to any property and casualty insurance policy maintained by such Grantor.
The Collateral Agent shall be named as additional insured on all such liability insurance policies of such Grantor and the Collateral
Agent shall be named as loss payee on all property and casualty insurance policies of such Grantor.
(c) Such
Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral
and such other reports in connection with the assets and property of such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail.
(d) At
any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor
shall promptly and duly authorize, execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further
actions as are necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits
of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) the filing of any financing or
continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security
interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property and any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary
to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect
thereto to the extent required hereunder, including without limitation, executing and delivering and causing the relevant securities
intermediary to execute and deliver a control agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (it being agreed that
the Collateral Agent will not indemnify any securities intermediary in the Collateral Agent’s individual capacity).
4.5 Changes
in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, Etc. Such Grantor will not, except upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written
notice to the Collateral Agent and delivery to the Collateral Agent of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional
financing statements and other documents necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection
and priority of the security interests provided for herein and:
(i) without
limiting the prohibitions on mergers involving the Grantors contained in the Indenture, change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization
or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business, if applicable, from that referred to in Section 3.4; or
(ii) change
its legal name, identity or structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Collateral Agent in connection with
this Agreement would become misleading.
4.6 Notices.
Such Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in writing and in reasonable detail, of:
(a) any
Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise
any of its remedies hereunder; and
(b) the
occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral
or on the security interests created hereby.
4.7 Investment
Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock or other ownership certificate (including,
without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase
or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), or option or rights in respect of the capital
stock or other Pledged Equity Interest of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange
for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Equity Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall
accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to
the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an
undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature
guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the
liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Secured Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests
or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification
of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to
a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional
collateral security for the Secured Obligations. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until
such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.
(b) Without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit,
any Issuer to amend its organizational documents in any manner that materially changes the rights of such Grantor with respect to any
Pledged Equity Interests or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest
therein, (ii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to
sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (iii) cause or permit any
Equity Issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the UCC) on the
date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated
as securities for purposes of the UCC.
(c) Each
Grantor which is an Equity Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity
Interests issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral
Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.7(a) with respect to the Pledged
Equity Interests issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 4.8(c) shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with
respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 4.8(c) with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests issued
by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an Equity Issuer or an owner of any Pledged Equity Interests hereby consents to the
grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Equity
Interest to the Collateral Agent or its nominee following an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its
nominee as a partner, member or shareholder or other equity holder of the Equity Issuer of the related Pledged Equity Interest.
4.8 Voting
and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect
of the Pledged Notes or Pledged Debt Securities, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer, to the extent
permitted by the Indenture, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided,
however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would impair the
Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Indenture, this Agreement or any other
Note Document.
(b) If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing: (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting
and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Securities which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation,
to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right,
without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Securities to its name or the name of its nominee or agent.
In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments
representing any Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral
Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends
and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may
from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth
herein.
(c) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Equity Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply
with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from
such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Equity Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise
expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent.
4.9 [Reserved].
4.10 Intellectual
Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent, discontinue use of any Material Intellectual Property, or do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Material Intellectual Property
may lapse, become abandoned, cancelled, dedicated to the public, forfeited, or otherwise impaired, or abandon any application or any
right to file an application for a Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Material Intellectual Property.
(b) Such
Grantor shall take all reasonable steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration
or issuance of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by or exclusively licensed to such Grantor and constituting Material Intellectual
Property, including, but not limited to, those applications and registrations listed on Schedule 5.
(c) Such
Grantor agrees that, should it hereafter (i) obtain an ownership interest in any item of Intellectual Property, (ii) obtain
an exclusive license to any Copyrights, (iii) (either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee) file any
application for the registration or issuance of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or in any political subdivision of any of the foregoing,
or (iv) should it file a Statement of Use or an Amendment to Allege Use with respect to any “intent-to-use” Trademark
application (the items in clauses (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”),
then the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto, and any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically
become part of the Collateral, and such Grantor shall give prompt (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last
day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith, and shall provide the Collateral Agent promptly (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last day of
the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) with an amended Schedule 5 hereto and promptly
take the actions specified in Section 4.10(d) with respect thereto.
(d) Such
Grantor shall execute Intellectual Property Security Agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral
as of the date hereof, as well as any After-Acquired Intellectual Property, in substantially the form of Exhibits C-1, C-2
or C-3, as applicable, in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and such Grantor
shall promptly execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all other agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as necessary
or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in any such Intellectual
Property with any other applicable offices, agencies, or governmental authorities.
(e) Such
Grantor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets constituting Material Intellectual Property,
including, without limitation, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and labeling and restricting access
to secret information and documents.
Section 5. REMEDIAL
PROVISIONS
5.1 [Reserved].
5.2 [Reserved].
5.3 [Reserved].
5.4 Application
of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Issuer and the Collateral Agent (acting with the written consent of the
Trustee or the Majority Holders), or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s
election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses
as provided in Section 5.5) realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder in payment of the Secured
Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds to be applied in the following order:
First, to the Collateral
Agent to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses under the Note Documents (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel);
Second, to the Trustee in respect
of Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid for application by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;
Third, to the Trustee in respect
of all Secured Obligations (other than those under clause second above) for prepayment of such Secured Obligations in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture; and
Fourth, any balance of such
Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled
to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the applicable Grantor
or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Any Proceeds not applied
shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral.
In addition, with respect
to any proceeds of Insurance received by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, (i) such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Indenture or (ii) if
not so permitted or required by the Indenture, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4
and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance
with this Section 5.4.
5.5 Code
and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement
and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do
any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of
any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent may, but shall have
no obligation to, store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the
extent that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to
become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is
hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy
Code, the Collateral Agent, as representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective
individual capacities unless the Majority Holders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply
the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral
Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their
pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim
or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to, sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify
any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale
of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral
or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that
have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against
the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was
less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and
does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at
such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the property
where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its
rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to
the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4.
Only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.
If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the
purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out
of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.
(c) In
the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks
subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such
Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual
Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual
Property, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture,
distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.
(d) For
the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.5 (including in order to take
possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or
grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive,
and assignable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks,
to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks,
to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired
or held by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment
of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise
occupied by such Grantor.
5.6 Effect
of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the
Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other
terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale
of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Equity Issuer thereof
to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Equity
Issuer would agree to do so.
5.7 Deficiency.
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Section 6. POWER
OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
6.1 Collateral
Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may
be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right (but the Collateral Agent shall not have the obligation), on behalf of such Grantor,
without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in
the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances
or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding
in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in
the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers
as necessary or that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay
or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called
for by the terms of the Note Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute,
in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5 or 5.6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance
or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct
any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly
to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt
for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign
and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect
to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the
goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on
such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense,
at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights
under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the permissive rights of the Collateral Agent enumerated herein shall not
be construed as duties.
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this
power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c) The
fees and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (as applicable) incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this
Section 6.1 (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its agents and counsel), together with interest thereon at a rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent promptly on demand.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.
6.2 Authorization
of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable
law, the Collateral Agent is authorized to, but shall have no duty or obligation to, file or record financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such
offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same
manner as described in the Collateral Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the such Grantor,
whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the such Grantor or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole
judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing
statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
authorization, nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Grantors’ Liens,
including by the filing of UCC financing statements and continuation statements, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantor.
6.3 Further
Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file
such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and
deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported
to be granted hereby;
(ii) take
all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual
Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application
for registration or issuance is pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing;
(iii) at
any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral
Agent or persons designated by the Collateral Agent;
(iv) at
the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or
the Collateral Agent’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v) furnish
the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby
waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to, in each case, each of the
following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof):
(i) the
validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset
with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;
(ii) any
renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification
or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Note Documents;
(iii) any
failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining,
by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy
(whether arising under any Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating
thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations;
(iv) any
change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Issuer or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries

(vii) any
exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including
the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether
or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or
any other provisions hereof, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor
under applicable law; and
(viii) any
other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect
of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuer or
any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a bankruptcy proceeding
or in any other instance.
(b) In
addition each Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set- offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance
in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Issuer or any other Grantor or Person against any
Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations,
accord and satisfaction and usury.
(c) Each
Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment

Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral
securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing
its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand
on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent to
make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Issuer, any other Grantor or any other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Issuer,
any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of
any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available
as a matter of law, of Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement
and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Section 8. the
collateral AGENT
8.1 Authority
of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement
with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as
may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor
shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(b) U.S.
Bank Trust Company, National Association has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Holders. The Collateral Agent
shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely
in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture; provided that the Collateral Agent shall, after the payment in full of all
Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) (the “Discharge
of the Secured Obligations”), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein and otherwise act in accordance
with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”). The provisions of the Indenture
relating to the Trustee, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Trustee and the powers,
duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee, are incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply to U.S. Bank Trust Company,
National Association acting in its capacity as the Collateral Agent, and shall survive any termination of the Indenture.
8.2 Duty
of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party
nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect
the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and
neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act
is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
8.3 Exculpation
of the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Collateral Document or the validity or perfection
of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written
or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or
made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition
or business affairs of any party to the Indenture or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the
Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
covenants or agreements contained in any of the Collateral Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default
or default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b) Neither
the Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any
action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents except to the extent caused
solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
in connection herewith or any of the Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder
or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Trustee or the Majority Holders
and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise
such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing,
(i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication,
instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and
shall be entitled to conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys
for the Grantors and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured
Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining
from acting hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents in accordance with the Indenture or, in the limited circumstances specified
in Section 8.1(b) hereof, the instructions of the Majority Holders.
(c) Without
limiting the indemnification provisions of the Indenture, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Indenture severally agrees to
indemnify the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees
and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral
Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Collateral Documents or otherwise
in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents; provided,
no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely and from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Collateral
Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Collateral Agent may call
for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts insufficiently indemnified against until such additional indemnity
is furnished.
(d) No
direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth
in or arising under this Agreement or any Collateral Document accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon
the Collateral Agent.
8.4 No
Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the
extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and
remedies under the Note Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with
the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral
provided hereunder and under any other Note Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of
the Secured Obligations held by it.
8.5 Concerning
the Collateral Agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement and each other Collateral Agreement
solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. In acting hereunder and under each other Collateral Agreement, whether
or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
were set forth herein and therein.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any discretion in connection with its duties herein, and
shall act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by the Trustee or the Holders of the requisite percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes as permitted by and in accordance with the Indenture, and shall have no liability to any Person and will be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance therewith.
Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Indenture.
9.2 Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for
in Section 11.01 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed
to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
9.3 No
Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default
or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4 Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred
in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any
of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture
and the other Note Documents.
9.5 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation
without such consent shall be null and void.
9.6 Set-Off.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor,
to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured
or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder,
under the Indenture, any other Note Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made
any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party exercising
any right of set-off shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds
thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights
of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
9.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile
or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or
“tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
9.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties
hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9.9 Section Headings.
The Section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
9.10 Integration/Conflict.
This Agreement and the other Note Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred
to herein or therein. In the case of any Collateral “located” outside the United States (including any Equity Interests of
an Equity Issuer organized under a jurisdiction other than the United States of any state or other locality thereof), in the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable Foreign Security Document
which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied with, the provisions contained in such Foreign Security Document shall govern
to the extent of such conflict with respect to such Collateral.
9.11 GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE
UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).
9.12 Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the transactions contemplated
by this Indenture may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts
of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and
each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any
process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s
address set forth in Section 11.01 of the Indenture will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints Marti Technologies I Inc., as Delaware corporation, with an office at 3500
South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, 19901, as its authorized agent to receive on behalf of it and its
property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any proceeding. If for any reason
such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each Grantor shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing
for service of process in the United States and deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment
within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. Each of the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and each Holder (by its acceptance of any Note) irrevocably
and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably
and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.

affiliate of the Company or any agent acting on such holder’s behalf, and any transfer of such [Units/Partnership Interests] pursuant
to any such holder’s (or agent’s) exercise of remedies in connection with any such pledge or hypothecation shall be permitted

shall cease to be a [Member/Partner] and shall have no further rights or powers under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by a [Member/Partner] shall constitute any necessary approval of such [Member/Partner] under the Act to the foregoing provisions

PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Defined
terms included below shall have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in the Report and, if not defined in the Report,
in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Introduction
The Company and Marti Technologies
Inc. are providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial
aspects of the Business Combination and the related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it were completed on December 31, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year December 31, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the Business
Combination as if it were completed on January 1, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information gives effect to the following:
| · | The Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and |
| · | The recognition of $53.0 million in gross proceeds raised as part of the PIPE financing and other financing
sources, including the Pre-Fund Notes, in connection with the Business Combination. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is based upon and should be read in conjunction with:
| · | the audited historical financial statements of each of Marti and the Company as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2022, and the related notes thereto, included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and incorporated herein by reference; and |
| · | the sections of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Galata Management’s Discussion And
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Marti Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, which information is incorporated herein by reference. |
The foregoing historical financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared
based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the
Business Combination, which is discussed in further detail below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent New Marti’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated
financial position that would actually have occurred had the Business Combination been consummated on the dates assumed or to project
New Marti’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or period.
Description of the Business
Combination
On
July 10, 2023, the Company and Marti consummated the previously announced Business Combination Agreement, dated July 29, 2022, by and
among the Company, Marti and Merger Sub. The Business Combination Agreement provided that the parties thereto would enter into
the Business Combination pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would merge with and into Marti with Marti surviving the merger
as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Management concluded that Marti
is the accounting acquirer and the Company is the accounting acquiree, and the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse capitalization.
All debts, liabilities and duties of Marti and the Company have become the debts, liabilities and duties of New Marti, as defined by the
Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination Agreement
provided that:
| · | on the day prior to the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date” and such closing, the
“Closing”), (a) each then issued, outstanding and unexercised warrant (a “Marti Warrant”) to purchase shares of
Marti Preferred Stock (as defined below) would be exchanged on a cashless basis for shares of Marti’s Preferred Stock, par value
$0.00001 per share (“Marti Preferred Stock”), designated as Marti SeriesA1 Preferred Stock, Marti Series A-2 Preferred Stock,
Marti Series A 3 Preferred Stock, Marti SeriesB1 Preferred Stock, Marti Series B-2 Preferred Stock or Marti Series B 3 Preferred Stock
in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Marti (the “Marti Charter”), in each case in accordance with the
applicable provisions of such Marti Warrant, and, immediately thereafter, (b) each then outstanding share of Marti Preferred Stock (including
the Marti Warrants converted to Marti Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (a)) would automatically convert into a number of shares of common
stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Marti (“Marti Common Stock), at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant
to the Marti Charter (the “Conversion”); |
| · | on the Closing Date of the Merger immediately before the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”), in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Existing Articles
of Association”), each then outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Founder Shares”)
would be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a Class A ordinary share, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Class
A Ordinary Shares”); and |
| · | at the Effective Time, (a) each then outstanding share of Marti Common Stock (including shares of Marti Common
Stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding unvested restricted shares of Marti Common Stock (such shares, “Marti Restricted
Stock”)) would be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (1) a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the applicable
exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus),
and (2) the contingent right to receive certain earnout shares; (b) each outstanding and unexercised option of Marti (a “Marti Option”),
whether or not vested, would be converted into (1) an option exercisable for a number of Class A Ordinary Shares, based on the exchange
ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) and
(2) the contingent right to receive certain earnout shares; and (c) each outstanding award of Marti Restricted Stock would be converted
into (1) an award covering restricted Class A Ordinary Shares based on the exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business
Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus) and (2) the contingent right to receive certain earnout
shares. |
Ownership
Pursuant
to the Existing Articles of Association, the Company’s public shareholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon closing
of the Business Combination, the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate
amount on deposit in the Trust Account. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the actual redemption
of 13,750,487 shares of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares at approximately $10.58 per share.
The following summarizes the pro forma number of
the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding at the Closing Date:
| |
Number of Shares | | |
% Ownership | |
Existing Marti shareholders | |
| 44,356,333 | | |
| 91.3 | % |
Class B Ordinary shareholders | |
| 3,593,750 | | |
| 7.4 | % |
Public shareholders | |
| 624,516 | | |
| 1.3 | % |
Total | |
| 48,574,596 | | |
| 100.0 | % |
Accounting for the Business
Combination
The Business Combination is accounted
for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company has been treated as the “acquired”
company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the Marti equity holders having a relative majority
of the voting power of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity represent a
continuation of the financial statements of Marti with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Marti issuing stock for the
net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at fair value, with no goodwill
or other intangible assets recorded.
Basis of Pro Forma presentation
The historical financial information
has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to the transaction accounting required for the Business Combination. The adjustments in the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary
for an accurate understanding of the combined entity upon the Closing.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always
been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical
results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined entity will experience.
Marti and the Company did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments
were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined information has been prepared based on the fact that the Company’s shareholders exercised their redemption rights with
respect to 13,750,487 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company (at a redemption price of approximately $10.58 per share).
Accounting policies
Upon consummation of the Business
Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the Company’s and Marti’s accounting policies. As a result
of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have
a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify
any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of Presentation
The pro forma adjustments have
been prepared as if the Business Combination had been consummated on December 31, 2022 in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet, and on January 1, 2022, the beginning of the earliest period presented, in the case of the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statements of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information has been prepared assuming the following methods of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
The Business Combination is accounted
for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined
entity represent a continuation of the financial statements of Marti with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Marti issuing
stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at fair value, with
no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the audited historical financial statements of each
of Marti and the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes thereto, included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
and incorporated herein by reference; and
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be
associated with the Business Combination and related transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information does not give effect to any income tax benefit associated with the pro forma adjustments as such pro forma
adjustments result in the generation of additional net operating losses offset by a full valuation allowance recorded on such net operating
losses as it is more-likely than-not that the net operating losses will not be utilized.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting
the completion of the Business Combination and related transactions are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies
that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes,
may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will
differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and
methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and related transactions
based on information available to management at the current time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions
and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have
been had the Business Combination and related transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated
results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of Marti and the Company.
One-time direct and incremental
transaction costs anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the Closing are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet as a direct reduction to the combined entity’s additional paid-in capital and are assumed to be cash settled.
One-time non-recurring charges anticipated to be recorded prior to, or concurrent with, the Closing are reflected in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as an increase to the combined entity’s accumulated deficit and are included in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022.
