purchased from the Swing Line Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Line Loan then being repaid, equal to its Facility A Pro Rata Share of all such Swing Line Loans being repaid, so long as such
purchase would not cause such Facility A Lender to exceed its Facility A Commitment. If any portion of any amount paid (or deemed paid) to the Administrative Agent is recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Administrative Agent in

amounts required to be paid to the Administrative Agent from the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale provided for in Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and applied on a pro rata basis among the Facilities
based upon the outstanding principal amounts thereof. Amounts to be applied to a Facility shall be paid to each Lender of such Facility in the amount of its Applicable Pro Rata Share thereof, provided, however, that, (A) to the extent that
such Applicable Pro Rata Share exceeds the outstanding principal balance of such Facility held by such Lender, such excess shall be applied pro rata to the other Facilities and (B) any payment that a Facility C Lender elects not to accept pursuant
to Section 2.06(g) shall be applied pro rata on a pro rata basis to Facility A and Facility B. Amounts applied to the outstanding principal balance of Facility A shall reduce the Aggregate Facility A Commitment by the amount so applied, and
amounts applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Facility B Revolver Loans shall reduce the Aggregate Facility B Commitment by the amount so applied. In the event that, upon application of such payments to the Facilities as herein
provided, the amount to be applied to Facility A or Facility B exceeds the outstanding principal balance thereof, the amounts to be applied to such Facility shall be limited to the outstanding principal balance of such Facility, but the Aggregate
Facility A Commitment or Aggregate Facility B Commitment (as applicable) shall nevertheless be reduced (in addition to any reduction resulting from repayment of such Facilities as herein provided), on a pro rata basis, by the amount of such excess.

prepay the principal of the Notes in the amount, and promptly upon its receipt, of any principal payment made with respect to the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note from and after the date the Administrative Agent is granted a security interest
therein pursuant to Section 8.02; provided, however, that if the Borrower does not designate which of the Facilities is to be reduced by such prepayment, the prepayment shall be applied (as applicable) first to any Facility C
Obligations, 

  

 34 








 
then to any outstanding Facility B Obligations and then to any outstanding Facility A Obligations. 
  
 (e) Reduction of Quarterly Payments. Any payments or prepayments of
the Facility B Term Loans or the Facility C Loans, whether voluntary or otherwise (other than the regularly scheduled quarterly payments) shall reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount of each quarterly payment thereafter required to be made to any
Facility B Term Lender or Facility C Lender that received such payment or prepayment. 
  
 (f) Intentionally Omitted. 
  
 (g) Rights of Facility C Lender Not to Accept Certain Payments. Upon receipt from the Administrative Agent of notice that the Borrower intends to make or has made an optional partial prepayment of Facility C or any payment of
Facility C required to be made pursuant to Section 2.06(b), any Facility C Lender may elect not to accept such payment of Facility C if and only if (i) such prepayment is made on or before November 20, 2003 or (ii) such payment, together with
all other payments of Facility C (other than those required to be made under Section 2.06(c)) made after February 28, 2003, exceeds $100,000,000 in the aggregate. In the event a Facility C Lender so rejects a payment, the amount of the
payment so rejected shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be applied to the outstanding Loans under Facility A and Facility B on a pro rata basis, based upon the amounts thereof (if any) then outstanding. 
  
 (h) Application of Payments to Facility B. Whenever this Agreement
provides that any payment is to be applied to Facility B but does not specify that the same shall be applied to the Facility B Revolver Loans or the Facility B Term Loans, such payment shall be allocated among the Facility B Revolver Loans and
Facility B Term Loans on a pro rata basis, based upon the amounts thereof (if any) then outstanding. 
  
 (i) Funding Indemnification. The provisions of Section 3.04 shall apply to any payment or prepayment provided for in this Section
2.06 or Section 2.18(d). 
  
 (j) Application
of Payments. Unless this Agreement specifically provides for the application of principal payments to specified Obligations, the Borrower may, as long as no Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, direct the Administrative Agent to
apply prepayments of the principal amount of the Obligations against any of the Facilities.

13.01. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower by deposit into an account maintained by the Borrower at Bank One. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Advances. 
  
 (a) Borrowing Notices. The Borrower shall select the Type of each
Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 10:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date for each Floating Rate Advance and prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date which is two Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Rate Advance, specifying: 
  
 (i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of
such Advance, 
  
 (ii) the aggregate amount of
such Advance, 
  
 (iii) the Type of Advance
selected, and 
  
 (iv) in the case of each
Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
  

 36 








 The Borrower shall be entitled to obtain, on the Closing Date, only one Facility A Advance and only one Facility B
Revolver Advance and, in any single Business Day after the Closing Date, only one Facility A Advance and only one Facility B Revolver Advance, any of which Advances may (subject to the provisions of Section 2.05) be comprised in whole or in
part of any Eurodollar Rate Advance. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Floating Rate. Each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear
interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advance. The Borrower shall select
Interest Periods with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances so that it is not necessary to repay a Eurodollar Rate Advance prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make any mandatory payment required to be made pursuant to
this Agreement or to repay all Facility A Loans in full on the Facility A Maturity Date, to repay all Facility B Revolver Loans in full on the Facility B Termination Date, to repay all Facility B Term Loans in full on the Facility B Term Maturity
Date and to repay all Facility C Loans in full on the Facility C Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) Borrowing Notices Irrevocable. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and, in respect of the borrowing specified in the Borrowing Notice, the Borrower shall indemnify each
Lender against any loss or expense incurred by that Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 on or before the proposed Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Notice, including,
without limitation, any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund the Loan to be made by that Lender as part of that borrowing when that
Loan, as a result of that failure, is not made on that date. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of Advances. 
  
 (a) Right to Convert. The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(c), to convert all or any part of
an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
  
 (b) Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Advances
shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Rate Advances. Eurodollar Rate Advances of any Type shall continue as Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Type until the end of the then
applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section
2.10(d), requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Rate Advance either continue as a Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Type for the same or another Interest Period or be converted into an Advance of another Type.

  
 (c) No Conversion in Case of an Event of Default or
Unmatured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(b), no Advance may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance (except with the consent of the 

  

 37 








 
Required Lenders) when any Event of Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 (d) Conversion/Continuation Notice. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day of any conversion into a
Floating Rate Advance or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date which is two Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, specifying: 
  
 (i) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of
such conversion or continuation; 
  
 (ii) the
amount and Type of the Advance to be converted or continued; and 
  
 (iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest
Period applicable thereto. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Minimum Amount of
Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Facility A
Commitment or Aggregate Facility B Commitment (as applicable). 
  
 SECTION 2.12. Rate after Maturity. Any Advance which is not paid at maturity for such Advance, whether by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. Method of Payment. All payments of principal, interest,
and fees hereunder with respect to each Facility shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article
XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall be made ratably by the Administrative Agent among
the Lenders of such Facility with respect to their Loans. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the
Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to
charge any account of the Borrower maintained with Bank One for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall endeavor in good faith to provide telephonic notice to Borrower prior to any
such charge, but the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Borrower or any other Person if Administrative Agent fails to provide any such notice. If and to the extent payment owed to any Lender is not made by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent or that Lender, as the case may be, when due hereunder or under the Note held by that Lender, the Borrower further authorizes such Lender to charge from time to time against any or all of the accounts maintained by the 

  

 38 








 
Borrower with the Lender, its subsidiaries, affiliates or branches any amount so due, subject to the provisions of Article XI. 
  
 SECTION 2.14. Notes; Telephonic Notices. 
  
 (a) The Facility A Advances shall be evidenced by the Facility A Note payable
to the order of the Administrative Agent; the Facility B Revolver Loans shall be evidenced by the Facility B Revolver Note payable to the order of the Administrative Agent; the Facility B Term Loans shall be evidenced by the Facility B Term Note
payable to the order of the Administrative Agent; and the Facility C Advances shall be evidenced by the Facility C Note payable to the order of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may request, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, that any Loans made or to be made by it hereunder each be evidenced by a Note or Notes payable to such Lender, and, in such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note or Notes
payable to the order of such Lender in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of such Note or Notes, the Loans theretofore or thereafter made by such Lender shall
be evidenced by the applicable Note or Notes payable to such Lender and shall no longer be evidenced by the applicable Note or Notes payable to the Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, any Facility A Note, Facility B Revolver
Note, Facility B Term Note or Facility C Note delivered to and held by a Lender under the Original Credit Agreement or the Prior Credit Agreement and that is in a principal amount that equals or exceeds such Lender’s Facility A Commitment
hereunder (in the case of a Facility A Note), such Lender’s Facility B Commitment hereunder (in the case of a Facility B Revolver Note and Facility B Term Note) or such Lender’s Facility C Loans (in the case of a Facility C Note) shall,
and the Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms that such Notes shall, continue to evidence the applicable Loans held by such Lender (which Loans shall not be evidenced by the applicable Note or Notes payable to the Administrative Agent).
Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, a Lender that holds a Note delivered under the Original Credit Agreement or the Prior Credit Agreement may require a replacement Note in accordance with the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.14(a). Payments under all Notes shall be made to the Administrative Agent 
  
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to
transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer. All actions taken by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent upon such telephonic
notices are hereby approved by the Borrower, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability as a result of any such actions. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such
confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. 
  
 SECTION 2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Monthly
Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the Floating Rate Loan is 

  

 39 








 
prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the applicable Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding
principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be payable on the
last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Advance having an Interest Period longer than
three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Floating Rate Loans, Commitment Fees and Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis
of a 365-day year; interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if
payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. 
  
 SECTION 2.16. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative
Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each notice of reduction of the Aggregate Facility A Commitment or Aggregate Facility B Commitment received by the Administrative Agent and will notify each Lender of a Facility of the contents of
each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment notice received by the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Facility. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of a Facility of the interest rate applicable
to each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Facility promptly upon determination of such interest rate. 
  
 SECTION 2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending
Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 
  
 SECTION 2.18. Increase in Facilities. 
  
 (a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request, by notice to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s approval of either (i) an increase of the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e), Aggregate Facility B Commitment (a “Revolver Increase”) or
(ii) additional Facility C Loans (a “Facility C Increase”), or both (in each case, a “Facility Increase”) within the limitations hereafter described, which request shall set forth the amount of each such requested Revolver
Increase and Facility C Increase. Within twenty (20) days of such request, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower of its approval or disapproval of such request; failure to so advise the Borrower shall constitute disapproval. If the
Administrative Agent approves any such 

  

 40 








 
Facility Increase, then (x) in the case of a Revolver Increase, the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e),
Aggregate Facility B Commitment may be so increased (up to the amount of such approved Revolver Increase, in the aggregate) by having one or more New Revolver Lenders increase the amount of their then existing Facility A Commitments and, if
applicable under Section 2.18(e), Facility B Commitments or become Facility A Lenders and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e), Facility B Lenders and (y) in the case of a Facility C Increase, additional Facility C Loans may be made
(up to the amount of such approved Facility C Increase) by one or more New Facility C Lenders, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.18. Any Facility Increase shall be subject to the following limitations and
conditions: (i) any increase (in the aggregate) in the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e), Aggregate Facility B Commitment, and the amount (in the aggregate) of any new Facility A Commitment and, if
applicable under Section 2.18(e), new Facility B Commitment of any New Revolver Lender or the amount (in the aggregate) of any increase in the Facility A Commitment and, if applicable, under Section 2.18(e), Facility B Commitment of
any New Revolver Lender, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); (ii) any additional Facility C Loans by any New Facility C Lender shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and shall be in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); (iii) no Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall increase the Aggregate Commitment to an amount in excess of $1,399,000,000 or increase the sum of the Aggregate Facility A
Commitment and the Aggregate Facility B Commitment to an amount in excess of $1,100,000,000; (iv) the Borrower and each New Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”)
substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto, and the Administrative Agent shall have accepted and executed the same; (v) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent such Note or Notes as the Administrative
Agent shall require to reflect such Facility Increase; (vi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms of opinions provided for in Section 5.01 modified to apply to
the Facility Increase and each Note and Commitment and Acceptance executed and delivered in connection therewith); (vii) the Guarantors and the pledgors under the Pledge Agreements shall have consented in writing to the Facility Increases and shall
have agreed that their Guaranties and Pledge Agreements continue in full force and effect; and (viii) the Borrower and each New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall
have reasonably requested in connection with such Facility Increase. The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (iv) through (viii) above shall be fully acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of any Facility Increase. 
  
 (b) Loans by New Lenders. (i) Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e), Aggregate Facility B Commitment pursuant to the
provisions hereof, which effective date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each New Revolver Lender and the Administrative Agent, each New Revolver Lender shall make a payment to the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient, upon the
application of such payments by all New Revolver Lenders to the reduction of the outstanding Facility A Advances held by the Facility A Lenders and, if applicable, Facility B Revolver Advances held by the Facility B Revolver Lenders, to cause the
principal amount outstanding under the Facility A Loans made by each Facility A Lender (including any New 

  

 41 








 
Revolver Lender) to be in the amount of its Facility A Pro Rata Share (upon the effective date of such increase) of all outstanding Facility A Loans and, if
applicable the principal amount outstanding under the Facility B Revolver Loans made by each Facility B Revolver Lender (including any New Revolver Lender) to be in the amount of its Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Share (upon the effective date of
such increase) of all outstanding Facility B Revolver Loans. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each New Revolver Lender to fund to the Administrative Agent the payment required to be made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for
application to the reduction of the outstanding Facility A Loans held by the other Facility A Lenders and, if applicable, the Facility B Revolver Loans held by the other Facility B Revolver Lenders hereunder. If, as a result of the repayment of the
Facility A Advances or Facility B Revolver Advances provided for in this Section 2.18(b)(i), any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance occurs on a day which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower will pay to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of any of the Facility A Lenders and, if applicable, Facility B Revolver Lenders holding a Eurodollar Rate Loan any loss or cost incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom in accordance with Section 3.04.
Upon the effective date of such increase in the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and, if applicable under Section 2.18(e), Aggregate Facility B Commitment, all Facility A Loans outstanding hereunder (including any Facility A Loans made by the
New Revolver Lenders on such date) and, if applicable, all Facility B Revolver Loans outstanding hereunder (including any Facility B Revolver Loans made by the New Revolver Lenders on such date) shall be Floating Rate Loans, subject to the
Borrower’s right to convert the same to Eurodollar Rate Loans on or after such date in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10. 
  
 (ii) On the effective date of any Facility C Increase, which date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each New Facility C
Lender and the Administrative Agent, each New Facility C Lender shall make its additional Facility C Loans subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to the making of Advances after the Closing Date, and all Facility
C Loans (including such new Facility C Loans made on such date) shall be (or shall be converted to) Floating Rate Loans, subject to the Borrower’s right to convert the same to Eurodollar Rate Loans on or after such date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.10. If as a result of the conversion of Facility C Loans to Floating Rate Loans on the date of the making of such additional Facility C Loans, any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance occurs on a day which is not the
last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any of the Facility C Lenders holding a Eurodollar Rate Loan any loss or cost incurred by such Facility C Lender resulting therefrom in
accordance with Section 3.04. 
  
 (c) New Facility A
Lenders’ Participation in Facility Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and the making of the Facility A Loans by the New Revolver Lenders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.18(b)(i), each New Revolver Lender shall also be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, from the Facility A Lenders party to this Agreement immediately prior to the
effective date of such increase, an undivided interest and participation in any Facility Letter of Credit then outstanding, ratably, such that each Facility A Lender (including each New Revolver Lender) holds a participation interest in each such
Facility Letter of Credit in proportion to the ratio that such Facility A 

  

 42 








 
Lender’s Facility A Commitment (upon the effective date of such increase in the Aggregate Facility A Commitment) bears to the Aggregate Facility A
Commitment as so increased. 
  
 (d) Amortization Payments with
Respect to Facility C Increase. Commencing on the first Quarterly Payment Date following the advance of any additional Facility C Loan by any New Facility C Lender as provided in Section 2.18(b)(ii) above and on each Quarterly Payment
Date thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such New Facility C Lender, as a principal repayment of such additional Facility C Loan, a sum equal to one quarter of one percent (1/4%) of the original
principal amount of such additional Facility C Loan (subject to the pro rata reduction of the amount of any such quarterly payment as provided in Section 2.06(e)). 
  
 (e) Facility B. If on the effective date of any Revolver Increase any Facility B Commitment exists under this
Agreement, then (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such Revolver Increase shall be effected by increases in both the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and Aggregate Facility B Commitment, proportionately based on
the amounts of the Aggregate Facility A Commitment and Aggregate Facility B Commitment as of such effective date, and the amount, or increase in the amount, of the Facility A Commitment and Facility B Commitment of each New Revolver Lender shall be
effected on the same proportionate basis. There shall be no increase on the Aggregate Facility B Commitment under this Section 2.18 except to the extent provided for in this Section 2.18(e). 
  
 (f) No Obligation to Increase Commitment. Nothing contained herein
shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to increase its Commitment hereunder or to make additional Facility C Loans at
any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time or to make any additional Facility C Loans, and no Commitment of a Lender shall be increased without its prior written approval.

  
 SECTION 2.19. Extension of Facility B Termination Date.

  
 (a) Extension Request. The Borrower may request an
extension of the Facility B Termination Date by submitting a written request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (a “Facility B Extension Request”) not more than 90 nor less than 60 days prior to the Facility B Termination Date.
The new Facility B Termination Date shall be no more than 364 days after the Facility B Termination Date in effect at the time the Facility B Extension Request is received, including the Facility B Termination Date as one of the days in the
calculation of the days elapsed. Promptly following receipt of a Facility B Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Facility B Revolver Lender of the contents thereof, shall request each Facility B Revolver Lender to approve
the Facility B Extension Request, and shall specify the date (which must be at least 30 days after the Facility B Extension Request is delivered to the Facility B Revolver Lenders) as of which the Facility B Revolver Lenders must respond to the
Facility B Extension Request (the “Facility B Reply Date”). Each Facility B Revolver Lender approving the Facility B Extension Request shall deliver its written consent no later than the Reply Date. If the written consent of all of the
Facility B Revolver Lenders is received by the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Reply Date, the Facility B Termination Date specified in 

  

 43 








 
the Facility B Extension Request shall (subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(b)) become effective on the existing Facility B Termination Date and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the new Facility B Termination Date. If Facility B Revolver Lenders whose Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed 66-2/3% in the aggregate, but less than
100%, of all Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares consent to such extension on or before the Facility B Reply Date, the Borrower may, by notice given to the Administrative Agent within ten days of the Administrative Agent’s notification to the
Borrower of the failure of such Facility B Revolver Lenders to consent to such extension, elect to take one of the following actions with respect to all Facility B Revolver Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Facility B Lender”) that do not
consent to such extension: (i) to convert any outstanding Facility B Revolver Loans of the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders to Facility B Term Loans as provided in Section 2.19(b), (ii) to terminate the Facility B Commitment of the
Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders as provided in Section 2.19(c) or (iii) to replace the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders in accordance with Section 2.19(d) and, to the extent that the Facility B Commitments of the Non-Consenting
Facility B Lenders are not entirely replaced, to terminate the Facility B Commitment of such Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders. Any such election made by the Borrower pursuant to clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of the preceding
sentence shall be made with respect to all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders pursuant to such clause. Provided the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent timely notice of such election and, in the case of an election under clause (ii) or
clause (iii), pays or causes to be paid to each of the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders, on or before the Facility B Termination Date, an amount equal to all Facility B Obligations (other than those outstanding under any Facility B Term
Notes) of such Non-Consenting Facility B Lender, then (A) the Facility B Termination Date shall be extended with respect to the Facility B Revolver Lenders that consented thereto (subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(b)) and (B) the
Aggregate Facility B Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders’ Facility B Commitments (except such as are replaced in accordance with Section 2.19(d)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
consent to such extension of the Facility B Termination Date is not given by Facility B Revolver Lenders whose Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed 66-2/3% of all Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares or such consent is given but the
Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of an election under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above or, having given such notice, shall fail to pay or cause to be paid to the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders, on or before the
Facility Termination Date, the amounts required to be paid hereunder, then the Facility B Termination Date shall not be extended, and, on the Facility B Termination Date, all outstanding Facility B Revolver Loans shall convert to Facility B Term
Loans and all Facility B Commitments shall terminate. The Borrower may not request more than four (4) extensions of the Facility B Termination Date pursuant to this Section. 
  
 (b) Conversion of Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders’ Facility B Revolver Loans. If Facility B Revolver Lenders
whose Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed 66-2/3% in the aggregate, but less than 100%, of all Facility B Pro Rata Shares consent to a Facility B Extension Request and the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent timely notice of the
Borrower’s election to convert, pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.19(a), the outstanding Facility B Revolver Loans of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders to Facility B Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall so notify all
Facility B Revolver Lenders, and, on such Facility B Termination Date, the outstanding Facility B Revolver Loans of all Non-Consenting Facility B 

  

 44 








 
Lenders shall convert to Facility B Term Loans, and the Facility B Commitments of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders shall terminate. 
  
 (c) Termination of Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders’ Facility B
Commitments. If Facility B Revolver Lenders whose Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed 66-2/3% in the aggregate, but less than 100%, of all Facility B Pro Rata Shares consent to a Facility B Extension Request and the Borrower
gives the Administrative Agent timely notice of the Borrower’s election to terminate, pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.19(a), the Facility B Commitments of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall
so notify all Facility B Revolver Lenders, and on or before such Facility B Termination Date the Borrower shall pay in full the Facility B Obligations (other than those outstanding under any Facility B Term Notes) of all Non-Consenting Facility B
Lenders, and the Facility B Commitments of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders shall terminate on such Facility B Termination Date. 
  
 (d) Replacement of Non-Consenting Facility B Revolver Lenders. If Facility B Revolver Lenders whose Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Shares equal or
exceed 66-2/3% in the aggregate, but less than 100%, of all Facility B Pro Rata Shares consent to a Facility B Extension Request and the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent timely notice of the Borrower’s election to replace, pursuant to
clause (iii) of Section 2.19(a), the Facility B Commitments of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall so notify all Facility B Revolver Lenders, and on or before such Facility B Termination Date the
Borrower shall replace such Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders in accordance with Section 2.27 or, to the extent that it does not replace such Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders, shall pay in full the Facility B Obligations (other than those
outstanding under any Facility B Term Notes) of all Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders. To the extent the Non-Consenting Facility B Lenders are not replaced, their Facility B Commitments shall terminate on such Facility B Termination Date. In no
event shall any Lender have any obligation to issue a new or increased Commitment to replace all or any part of a Non-Consenting Facility B Lender’s Facility B Commitment 
  
 (e) Facility B Term Loans. Upon the conversion of any Facility B Revolver Loans to Facility B Term Loans as provided
in Section 2.19(a) or 2.19(b), such Facility B Term Loans shall be governed by the provisions of Section 2.20(c). 
  
 (f) Aggregate Facility B Commitment. The Aggregate Facility B Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of any Facility B Commitments that are
terminated pursuant to this Section 2.19. 
  
 (g)
Term-Out Obligation. The provisions of this Section 2.19 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(b). 
  
 SECTION 2.20. Facility B Term-Out. 
  
 (a) Term-Out Option. Without limitation of the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.20(b), the Borrower shall have the option to
convert the Facility B Revolver Loans outstanding on the Facility B Termination Date (as extended pursuant to Section 2.19) to Facility B Term Loans which shall mature and become due and payable in full on the Facility B Term 

  

 45 








 
Maturity Date. In order to request such conversion, the Borrower shall give written notice (the “Term-Out Notice”) to the Administrative Agent not
less than 30 or more than 90 days prior to the Facility B Termination Date, which notice shall specify the principal amount of the Facility B Revolver Loans (the “Conversion Amount”) which the Borrower desires to convert to Facility B Term
Loans, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Facility B Revolver Loans that may be converted to Facility B Term Loans shall not be less than $1,000,000. Promptly following its receipt of the Term-Out Notice, the Administrative
Agent shall send a copy of the Term-Out Notice to each of the Facility B Revolver Lenders. If the Borrower has given the Term-Out Notice as provided herein, the lesser of (i) the Conversion Amount or (ii) the Facility B Revolver Loans outstanding on
the Facility B Termination Date shall automatically convert to Facility B Term Loans, with each Facility B Revolver Lender being deemed to have made its Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Share of such Facility B Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Facility B Revolver Lender of the principal amount thereof. 
  
 (b) Term-Out Obligation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.19, if the Facility B Termination Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.19 with respect to all or, to the extent permitted
under Section 2.19, less than all of the Facility B Revolver Lenders but on the Facility B Termination Date (as determined prior to such extension), the Facilities have a rating from S&P of BB- or less or from Moody’s of Ba3 or less,
the outstanding principal balance of the Facility B Revolver Loans (including any Facility B Revolver Loans purchased by Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.27) shall automatically convert to Facility B Term Loans on such Facility B
Termination Date and the Aggregate Facility B Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such Facility B Term Loans. 
  
 (c) Facility B Term Loans. The principal amount of each Facility B Term Loan shall be repayable in full in equal quarterly installments on each
Quarterly Payment Date (subject to reduction of such installments as provided in Section 2.06(e)), commencing with the first such date following the Facility B Termination Date on which the Facility B Revolver Loan is converted to a Facility
B Term Loan (whether pursuant to Section 2.19 or this Section 2.20), with the final installment due and payable on the Facility B Term Maturity Date, unless such Facility B Term Loan shall sooner become due and payable pursuant to
Section 9.02 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Facility B Term Loans shall be either Eurodollar Rate Loans or Floating Rate Loans, with interest accruing and being paid in the same manner as Facility B Revolver Loans, and with the
Facility B Term Loans to be designated as, continued as, or converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans in the same manner as Facility B Revolver Loans could be designated as, continued as, or converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans or Floating Rate Loans as
provided in Section 2.10. In the event of any conversion of Facility B Revolver Loans to Facility B Term Loans, the Facility B Term Note payable to and held by the Administrative Agent shall thereafter evidence such Facility B Term Loans,
except that any Facility B Term Note payable to and held by any Facility B Term Lender shall thereafter evidence the Facility B Term Loans held by such Facility B Term Lender hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 2.21. Facility Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, each Issuer hereby agrees to issue upon the request of and for the account of the Borrower, through such of 

  

 46 








 
the Issuer’s Lending Installations or Affiliates as the Issuer and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance
with this Section 2.21 from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fourteenth day prior to the Facility A Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Conditions for Issuance. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in
Section 5.02, the obligation of an Issuer to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions: 
  
 (i) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, after giving effect to
the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall not exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuer; 
  
 (ii) after giving effect to the requested issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit, the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations do not
exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitment, or (B) an amount equal to the Aggregate Facility A Commitment minus the sum of the outstanding Facility A Advances and all outstanding Swing Line Loans; 
  
 (iii) the Facility Letter of Credit shall be a standby
Letter of Credit and not a trade Letter of Credit, shall only provide for drawings by sight draft and shall be issued in U.S. Dollars; 
  
 (iv) the requested Facility Letter of Credit has an expiration date not later than the earlier of (A) fourteen days prior to the Facility
A Termination Date and (B) one year after its Issuance Date; provided, however, that the requested Facility Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal periodically beyond the first anniversary of its Issuance Date but not beyond the
date provided for in clause (A) above; 
  
 (v) the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer at such times and in such manner as such Issuer may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit,
and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to such Issuer as to form and content; and 
  
 (vi) as of the Issuance Date, no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms
to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing the Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuer and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with
jurisdiction over the Issuer shall prohibit or request that such Issuer refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Facility Letter of Credit (and in any such case, such Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such fact). 
  
 (c)
Procedure for Issuance. 
  
 (i) The
Borrower shall give an Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of 

  

 47 








 
Credit under this Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”). The Letter of Credit Request shall be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuer and the Borrower and shall specify: 
  

	 	(A)	the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested; 

  

	 	(B)	the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”); 

  

	 	(C)	the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.21(b)(iv)); 

  

	 	(D)	the name of the Issuer chosen by the Borrower to issue the requested Facility Letter of Credit; 

  

	 	(E)	the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and 

  

	 	(F)	the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued. 

  
 At the time the Letter of Credit Request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Administrative Agent and the Issuer
with a copy of the form (if specified by the beneficiary) of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued. Such Letter of Credit Request, to be effective, must be received by such Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00
p.m. (Chicago time) on the last Business Day on which a Letter of Credit Request can be given under this Section 2.21(c)(i). Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuer shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuer shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. 
  
 (ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section
2.21(b) and provided that (A) the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof have been satisfied and (B) the Issuer shall have received written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that
the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would not violate Section 2.21(b), such Issuer shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Issuer’s usual and customary
business practices unless the Issuer has actually received (1) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit or (2) written notice from a Facility A Lender, which
complies with the provisions of Section 2.21(e)(i). 
  
 (iii) Each Issuer shall promptly give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance, amendment, extension of
cancellation of a Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Notice”), together with (for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) a copy of such Facility Letter of Credit (or amendment or extension thereof). Notices and copies of Facility
Letters of Credit (or amendments or 

  

 48 








 
extensions thereof) required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.21(c)(iii) shall also be delivered to Bank One, NA,
Global Trade Financing Unit, 300 South Riverside, Mail Suite IL1-0236, Chicago, IL 60670 (Attention: Catherine Deal). Upon receipt of the Issuance Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Facility A Lender of the issuance, amendment,
extension or cancellation of such Facility Letter of Credit, which notice shall identify the Issuance Date, the Issuer, the amount and the expiration date of such Facility Letter of Credit (as amended or extended, if applicable). 
  
 (iv) An Issuer shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter
of Credit or allow a Facility Letter of Credit to be automatically extended unless the requirements of this Section 2.21(c) are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued. 
  
 (d) Payment of Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuers

  
 (i) Each Issuer shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Facility A Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuer in accordance with Section 2.21(d)(iii). Any Reimbursement
Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date on which the Issuer honors a drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit until payment in full is received by such Issuer at (A) the Floating Rate until the
second succeeding Business Day after such date and (B) the Default Rate thereafter. 
  
 (ii) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted
in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not (A) put that Issuer under any resulting liability to any Lender or (B) assuming that such Issuer
has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2.21(c), all conditions to the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit have been satisfied and any such Lender has not given a notice contemplated by Section 2.21(e)(i) that
continues in full force and effect, relieve any such Lender of its obligations hereunder to that Issuer. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, an Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders or to the Borrower
other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Facility Letter of Credit have been delivered in compliance and that they comply on their face (including that any draw request has been purportedly executed by an
authorized signatory, if and to the extent such a requirement is specified in the related Facility Letter of Credit), with the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit. 
  
 (iii) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuer the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and
other amounts payable to such Issuer under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit immediately when due (and in any event shall reimburse an Issuer for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by it no later than two (2)
Business Days after payment by that Issuer), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any 

  

 49 








 
time against any Issuer or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(A)	any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 

  

	 	(B)	the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or,
if such Facility Letter of Credit is transferable, any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in any Facility
Letter of Credit); 

  

	 	(C)	any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect (except to the extent any such invalidity or insufficiency is found in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuer).


  

	 	(D)	the surrender or impairment of any guaranty or security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or 

  

	 	(E)	the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Default. 

  
 (iv) As among the Borrower, the Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of the Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Facility Letters of Credit (except such as are found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of an Issuer). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) for (A) the forms, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and
issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with underlying conditions required in order to 

  

 50 








 
draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit, so long a such beneficiary has presented the omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) misapplication by the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; or
(G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Facility A Lender. 
  
 (e) Participation. 
  
 (i) Upon the Closing Date, each of the Facility A Lenders shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received
from the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to its Facility A Pro Rata Share of the Existing Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, all rights and obligations of the Issuer with respect
thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Immediately upon issuance by an Issuer of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21(c) each Facility A Lender shall be deemed
to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to its Facility A Pro Rata Share of such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without
limitation, all rights and obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, provided, that a Letter of Credit issued by any Issuer shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit
for purposes of this Agreement if the Administrative Agent and such Issuer shall have received written notice from any Facility A Lender on or before the Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the
conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in the event an Issuer receives such notice, it shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that
Facility A Lender or the Issuer receives a notice from the Administrative Agent that such condition has been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower
shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to Section 2.21(d), such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Facility A Lender, of such failure, and each Facility A Lender shall
promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Facility A Lender’s Facility A Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment. The failure of any Facility A Lender to
make available to the Administrative Agent its Facility A Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Facility A Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its
Facility A Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Facility A Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Facility A Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent
its Facility A Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. 
  

 51 








 (iii) Whenever an Issuer receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation,
including any interest thereon, it shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Facility A Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to its Facility A Pro Rata Share thereof. 
  
 (iv) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Facility A Lender, an Issuer shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Facility A Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which that Issuer is party and such other
documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Facility A Lender. 
  
 (v) The obligations of a Facility A Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer with respect to a
Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under any
circumstances. 
  
 (vi) In the event any payment
by the Borrower received by an Issuer with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Facility A Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from that Issuer
in connection with any such distribution, such Facility A Lender shall, upon demand by that Issuer, contribute such Facility A Lender’s Facility A Pro Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate
required to be paid by that Issuer upon the amount required to be repaid by it. 
  
 (f) Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit. 
  
 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Facility A Lenders, a fee (the “Facility Letter of
Credit Fee”) with respect to each Facility Letter of Credit for the period from the Issuance Date thereof (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, the Closing Date) to and including the final expiration date thereof, in a per annum
amount equal to the product, calculated on a daily basis for each day during such period, of (A) the undrawn amount of such Facility Letter of Credit for such day multiplied by (B) the Facility Letter of Credit Fee Rate for such day, less 0.125% per
annum. The Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears not later than five (5) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s delivery to Borrower of the quarterly statement of Facility Letter of Credit Fees
and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility A Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when received by the Administrative Agent, to the Facility A Lenders
(including the Issuer) in accordance with their Facility A Pro Rata Shares thereof. The Facility Letter of Credit Fees, once paid, shall not be refundable for any reason. 
  
 (ii) The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuer, solely for its own account, as an issuing fee, with respect
to each Facility Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the period from the Issuance Date thereof (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, the Closing Date) to and including the final expiration date thereof, in an amount equal to (A)


  

 52 








 
the product, calculated on a daily basis for each day during such period, of (x) the undrawn amount of such Facility Letter of Credit for such day multiplied
by (y) 0.125% per annum, plus (B) in the case of any Facility Letter of Credit in a stated amount of less than $10,000.00, an additional fee in an amount to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuer. The foregoing fees payable to the Issuer
shall also be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the date on which Facility Letter of Credit Fees are payable and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility A Termination Date. The foregoing fees, once paid, shall not
be refundable for any reason. Each Issuer shall be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of issuing and servicing Facility Letters of Credit. 
  

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall, with reasonable promptness following receipt from all Issuers of the reports provided for in
Section 2.21(g) for the months of March, June, September and December, respectively, deliver to the Borrower a quarterly statement of the Letter of Credit Fees then due and payable. 
  
 (g) Issuer Reporting Requirements. Each Issuer shall, no later than
the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of
the Facility Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the Issuance Date, account party, original face amount (if any) paid thereunder, expiration date and the reference number
of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month (and whether such Facility Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit or financial Letter of Credit) and the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to
such Issuer during the month pursuant to Section 3.02. Copies of such reports shall be provided promptly to each Facility A Lender and the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. The reporting requirements hereunder are in addition to those set
forth in Section 2.21(c). 
  
 (h) Letter of Credit
Collateral Account. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will, until the later of the Facility A Termination Date or the date on which all Facility LCs have expired
and all Obligations have been paid in full, maintain a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name
of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Facility A Lenders, as security for repayment of the Facility A Obligations, a security
interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account pursuant to Section 9.03. 
  
 SECTION 2.22. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative
Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any one or more of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount
of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If 

  

 53 








 
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on
demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative
Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to the relevant Loan. 
  
 SECTION 2.23. Withholding
Tax Exemption. Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that (if it has not done so prior to the Closing Date) it will, not more than five
(5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or a successor form) or, in the case of a
Lender claiming exemption from withholding of any United States federal income taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a certificate representing that such Lender is not (i) a
“bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (ii) a ten-percent shareholder of the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code), or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and a Form W-8BEN (or a successor form), in all cases properly completed and duly executed, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction
or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption
from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such
form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless
an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from
duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal
income tax. 
  
 SECTION 2.24. Unconditional Obligation to Make
Payment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall make all payments hereunder, under the Notes and under all of the other Loan Documents regardless of any defense or counterclaim, including any defense or counterclaim based on
any law, rule or policy which is now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority or regulatory body and which may adversely affect the Borrower’s obligations to make, or the right of the holder of any Note to receive, those payments.

  

 54 








 SECTION 2.25. Compensating Balances. Bank One shall have the right (but no obligation) to enter
into a separate agreement with the Borrower which provides for the reduction of the interest rate payable to Bank One hereunder in the event that the Borrower maintains collected balances in non-interest bearing accounts at Bank One, but in no event
shall such agreement affect the amounts payable under this Agreement to any other Lender. Similarly, each other Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to enter into a separate agreement with the Borrower which provides for the rebate to
Borrower of a portion of the interest paid to such Lender under this Agreement in the event that the Borrower maintains collected balances in non-interest bearing accounts at such Lender, but in no event shall any such agreement affect the amounts
payable under this Agreement to such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 2.26.
Extension of Facility A Termination Date. Not more than once in any fiscal year of the Borrower, the Borrower may request a one-year extension of the Facility A Termination Date by submitting a written request for an extension to the
Administrative Agent (a “Facility A Extension Request”), provided the Facility A Extension Request shall be delivered not later than one year before the Facility A Termination Date and that the requested Facility A Termination Date shall
be no more than five (5) years after the date on which the Facility A Extension Request is received. Promptly following receipt of a Facility A Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Facility A Lender of the contents thereof,
shall request each Facility A Lender to approve the Facility A Extension Request, and shall specify the date (which must be at least 30 days after the Facility A Extension Request is delivered to the Facility A Lenders) as of which the Facility A
Lenders must respond to the Facility A Extension Request (the “Facility A Reply Date”). If Facility A Lenders whose Facility A Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed in the aggregate 66-2/3% of all Facility A Pro Rata Shares do not consent in
writing to such extension on or before the Facility A Reply Date, the Facility A Extension Request shall be denied. If such written consent is received on or before the Facility A Reply Date from Facility A Lenders whose Facility A Pro Rata Shares
equal or exceed in the aggregate 66 2/3% of all Facility A Pro Rata Shares, the Facility A Termination Date shall be extended by one year as requested in such Facility A Extension Request, but such extension shall only apply to the Facility A
Lenders that have so consented and shall not apply to any Facility A Lender that has not so consented (each, a “Non-Consenting Facility A Lender”). Except to the extent that a Non-Consenting Facility A Lender is replaced (as provided in
Section 2.27 hereof) prior to the Facility A Termination Date (as determined prior to such Facility A Extension Request), then on such date (i) the Facility A Commitment of each such Non-Consenting Facility A Lender shall terminate, (ii) the
Aggregate Facility A Commitment shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such terminated Facility A Commitments and (iii) all Facility A Loans and other Facility A Obligations to each such Non-Consenting Facility A Lender shall be paid in full by
the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 2.27. Replacement of Certain
Lenders. In the event a Lender (the “Affected Lender”) is a Non-Consenting Facility A Lender under Section 2.26, a Non-Consenting Facility B Lender under Section 2.19(a) or a non-consenting Lender under Section
13.06(b), the Borrower may, upon written notice to such Affected Lender and to the Administrative Agent, require such Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign, within five Business Days after the date of such notice, to
one or more assignees selected by the Borrower and that are Eligible Assignees and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 12.03 (each, a “Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and 

  

 55 








 
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation its Commitments and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with
Section 12.03; provided, however, that, (i) in the case of a Non-Consenting Facility A Lender, such assignment shall, at the election of the Borrower, be limited to an assignment of its Facility A Commitment and Facility A Loans and
(ii) in the case of a Non-Consenting Facility B Lender, such assignment shall, at the election of the Borrower, be limited to an assignment of its Facility B Commitment and Facility B Revolver Loans. With respect to any such assignment, the Affected
Lender shall concurrently with such assignment receive payment in full of all amounts due and owing to it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and Commitments so assigned, including without limitation the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans owed to such Affected Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable to such Affected Lender under Article III with respect to such
Loans and all fees payable to such Affected Lender hereunder with respect to such Loans and Commitments so assigned. Any assignment to a Replacement Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.27 shall be in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.03 hereof. In no event shall any Lender have any obligation to issue a new or increased Commitment to replace all or any part of any Commitment of any Non-Consenting Facility A Lender, Non-Consenting Facility B Lender
or any non-consenting Lender under Section 13.06(b). 
  
 SECTION 2.28. Obligations Under Prior Credit Agreement. (a) If there are any “Facility A Loans” outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall request that a Facility A Advance be made
hereunder on the Closing Date in an amount sufficient to repay in full the “Facility A Loans” outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement. 
  
 (b) If there are any “Facility B Revolver Loans” outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement on the Closing Date, the Borrower
shall request that a Facility B Advance be made hereunder on the Closing Date in an amount sufficient to repay in full the “Facility B Revolver Loans” outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement. 
  
 (c) If the Closing Date is not the last day of an

 ARTICLE III 
  
 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Yield-Protection. If the adoption, on or after the Agreement Date, of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change, on or after the Agreement Date, in interpretation thereof, or the compliance of any Lender (which term, for purposes of this Article III,
shall be deemed to include each Issuer in such capacity) therewith, 
  
 (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or
applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or other amounts due it hereunder, or 
  
 (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Rate
Advances), or 
  
 (iii) imposes any other
condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining loans (or letters of credit or participations therein) or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation in connection with loans (or letters of credit or participations therein), or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans (or letters
of credit or participations therein) held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender, 
  
 then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which
such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans, its applicable Commitment, the Facility Letters of Credit or any participations therein. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulation. If a Lender reasonably determines the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, and such increase will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change (taking into account such Lender’s
or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy and any payments made to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 which relate to capital adequacy and assuming that such Lender’s capital was fully
utilized prior to such Change), then within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will 

  

 57 








 
compensate such Lender for such reduction. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.02 it shall
promptly notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, but in any event within 90 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if such Lender fails
to give such notice within the 90-day period after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to such compensation in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment for costs incurred
from and after the date 90 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.02, submitted by such
Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, shall be delivered to the Borrower promptly after the initial incurrence of such additional amounts. “Change” means (i) any change after the Agreement Date in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which
affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any Lending Institution. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based
capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988
report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted
prior to the date of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 3.03.
Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of
law, or if the Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Rate Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the
cost of making or maintaining such Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Eurodollar Rate Advances of the affected Type of Advance to be repaid or to be converted (in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to any Type of Advance which is not affected and is then available under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 3.04. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for
any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Advance. 
  
 SECTION 3.05. Lender Statements Survival of Indemnity. To the extent
reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or to avoid the
unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.03, so long as 

  

 58 








 
such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under
Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of
manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity
corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on
demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.04 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the three-month period ended on that date, unaudited but certified to be true and accurate (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments) by the President and an Authorized Financial Officer of the Borrower (the
“Borrower Unaudited Financial Statements”). Those financial statements and reports (subject, in the case of the Borrower Unaudited Financial Statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments), and the related notes and schedules (if any),

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material unrealized or expected losses in connection with loans, advances and other commitments of the Loan Parties. 
  
 SECTION 4.05. Title to Properties. Schedule III hereto contains a complete and accurate list of all Real
Estate owned by the Loan Parties (identifying the Loan Party that is the owner thereof), except those properties (i) acquired or disposed of after November 30, 2002 or (ii) the loss or forfeiture of which individually or in the aggregate would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Loan Parties has good and marketable fee title, or title insurable by a reputable and nationally recognized title insurance company, to the Real Estate owned by it listed in Schedule III hereto, and
to all the other assets owned by it and either reflected on the balance sheet and related notes and schedules most recently delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders (the “Recent Balance Sheet”) or acquired by it after the date of that
balance sheet and prior to the date hereof, except (x) for those properties and assets which have been disposed of since the date of the Recent Balance Sheet or which no longer are used or useful in the conduct of its business and (y) that good and
marketable fee title, or title insurable by a reputable and nationally recognized title insurance company, to certain of the properties located in Arizona listed in Schedule III is held by the Persons and in the manner described in

are free and clear of all Mortgages, Liens, charges and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Liens), except (i) in the case of Real Estate, as reflected on title insurance policies insuring the interest of the applicable Loan Party in the Real
Estate or in title insurance binders issued with respect to the Real Estate (some of which title insurance binders have expired but were valid at the time of acquisition of the relevant Real Estate), and (ii) as reflected in the Recent Balance
Sheet, and none of those Mortgages, Liens, charges or other encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, prevents or has a Material Adverse Effect upon the use by the Loan Parties of any of their respective properties or assets as currently
conducted or as planned for the future. 
  
 SECTION 4.06.
Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, inquiry or investigation (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule
or regulation of any court or federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which default would or could have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower
nor any of the other Loan Parties has any material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the Borrower Audited Financial Statements or Borrower Unaudited Financial Statements or in any financial statements delivered hereafter in
accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 4.07. Payment of
Taxes. There have been filed all federal, state and local tax returns with respect to the operations of the Loan Parties which are required to be filed, except where extensions of time to make those filings have been granted by the appropriate
taxing authorities and the extensions have not expired. The Loan Parties have paid or caused to be paid to the appropriate taxing authorities all taxes as shown on those returns and on any assessment received by any of them, to the extent that those
taxes have become due, except for taxes the failure to pay which do not violate the provisions of Section 6.03 hereof. The Internal Revenue Service has completed an examination of the Borrower’s federal income tax returns for the years
ended 1980 through 1998, and the Borrower has paid all additional taxes, assessments, interest and penalties with respect to such years. 
  
 SECTION 4.08. Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or is subject to any charter or other
restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on it. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
contained in any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents will not cause any Loan Party to be in material default thereof. 
  
 SECTION 4.09. Foreign Direct Investment Regulations. Neither the
making of the Advances nor the repayment thereof nor any other transaction contemplated hereby will involve or constitute a violation by any Loan Party of any provision of the Foreign Direct Investment Regulations of the United States Department of
Commerce or of any license, ruling, order, or direction of the Secretary of Commerce thereunder. 
  

 61 








 SECTION 4.10. Federal Reserve Regulations. 
  
 (a) Regulations U and X. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party
is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System of the United States). Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction
hereunder. 
  
 (b) Use of Proceeds. No part of the proceeds
of any of the Advances will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. If requested by the Lenders, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lenders a
statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U of said Board of Governors. No part of the proceeds of the Advances will be used for any purpose that violates, or which is inconsistent with, the
provisions of Regulation X of said Board of Governors. 
  
 SECTION
4.11. Consents, etc. Except as set forth on Schedule V hereto, no order, license, consent, approval, authorization of, or registration, declaration, recording or filing (except for the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K, and a
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in each case with the Securities and Exchange Commission) with, or validation of, or exemption by, any governmental or public authority (whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign) or any subdivision thereof
is required in connection with, or as a condition precedent to, the due and valid execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties or the other Loan Documents, or the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of any of the respective terms, provisions or conditions thereof. To the extent that any franchises, licenses, certificates, authorizations, approvals or consents from any federal, state or local (domestic or foreign)
government, commission, bureau or agency are required for the acquisition, ownership, operation or maintenance by any Loan Party of properties now owned, operated or maintained by any of them, those franchises, licenses, certificates,
authorizations, approvals and consents have been validly granted, are in full force and effect and constitute valid and sufficient authorization therefor. 
  
 SECTION 4.12. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with and conform to all statutes, laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions and all other legal requirements of all domestic or foreign governments or any instrumentality thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their
respective properties, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on it, including, without limitation, regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, the
Florida Land Sales Act or any comparable statute in any other applicable jurisdiction. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or any applicable federal, state and local health and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any
Hazardous Substances into the environment, 

  

 62 








 
which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 SECTION 4.13. Relationship of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties are
engaged as an integrated group in the business of owning, developing and selling Real Estate and of providing the required services, credit and other facilities for those integrated operations. The Loan Parties require financing on such a basis that
funds can be made available from time to time to such entities, to the extent required for the continued successful operation of their integrated operations. The Advances to be made to the Borrower under this Agreement are for the purpose of
financing the integrated operations of the Loan Parties, and the Loan Parties expect to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Advances, both individually and as a member of the integrated group, since the financial success of the
operations of the Loan Parties is dependent upon the continued successful performance of the integrated group as a whole. 
  
 SECTION 4.14. Subsidiaries; Joint Ventures. Schedule VI hereto contains a complete and accurate list of (a) all Subsidiaries of the
Borrower, including, with respect to each Subsidiary, (i) its state of incorporation, (ii) all jurisdictions (if any) in which it is qualified as a foreign corporation, (iii) the number of shares of its Capital Stock outstanding, and (iv) the number
and percentage of those shares owned by the Borrower and/or by any other Subsidiary, and (b) each Joint Venture, including, with respect to each such Joint Venture, (i) its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) all other jurisdictions in which it is
qualified as a foreign entity and (c) all Persons other than the Borrower that are parties thereto. All the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of the Borrower are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, except as otherwise
provided by state wage claim laws of general applicability. All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary owned by the Borrower or another Subsidiary as specified in Schedule VI are owned free and clear of all Liens,
security interests, equity or other beneficial interests, charges and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party owns of record or beneficially any shares of the Capital Stock or
other equity interests of any Person that is not a Guarantor, except (x) the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries, (y) Joint Ventures in which such Loan Party is permitted to invest pursuant to this Agreement and (z) the Subsidiaries listed in Schedule
VII hereto. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have pledged to the collateral trustee referred to in Section 8.03(a), and such collateral trustee has a perfected first priority security interest in, all
of the Capital Stock or other equity interests in each Significant Subsidiary. 
  
 SECTION 4.15. ERISA. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is executing or delivering any of the Loan Documents or entering into any of the transactions contemplated hereby, directly or indirectly, in
connection with any arrangement or understanding in any respect involving any “employee benefit plan” with respect to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a “party in interest” within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or a “disqualified person”, within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code 1986, as amended. No Unfunded Liabilities exist with respect to any Single Employer Plans. Each Plan complies in all
material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party nor any other members of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any
Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan. 
  

 63

an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
  
 SECTION 4.17. Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is a
“holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the
meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. 
  
 SECTION 4.18. Subordinated Debt. The Obligations constitute senior indebtedness which is entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions of all outstanding Subordinated Debt, which outstanding Subordinated Debt as of the
Closing Date is identified in Schedule VIII. 
  
 SECTION
4.19. Post-Retirement Benefits. The present value of the expected cost of post-retirement medical and insurance benefits payable by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to its employees and former employees, as estimated by the Borrower in
accordance with procedures and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent, does not exceed $5,000,000. 
  
 SECTION 4.20. Insurance. The certificate signed by an Authorized Financial Officer of the Borrower, that attests to the existence and adequacy of,
and summarizes, the property, casualty, and liability insurance programs carried by the Loan Parties and that has been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, is complete and accurate. This summary includes the
insurer’s or insurers’ name(s), policy number(s), expiration date(s), amount(s) of coverage, type(s) of coverage, exclusion(s), and deductibles. This summary also includes similar information, and describes any reserves, relating to any
self-insurance program that is in effect. 
  
 SECTION 4.21.

any Real Estate which is encumbered by any Mortgage held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that any of the Real Estate owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
of their respective operations are not in compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of
any Hazardous Substance into the environment which non-compliance or remedial action could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

herein or made hereunder and no certificate, schedule, exhibit, report or other document provided or to be provided by any Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the negotiation
of and compliance with the Loan Documents) contains or will contain a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which made, not misleading.

 (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03(a), the
Secured Obligations shall at all times be secured by a first priority pledge of and security interest in all Capital Stock of or other equity interests in each of the Significant Subsidiaries in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders. If and to the extent that any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Significant Subsidiary thereafter becomes a Significant Subsidiary, the Borrower shall cause the Capital Stock or other equity interests in such
Subsidiary to be pledged pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (ii) In the event that at any time, whether on or after the Closing Date, the assets of all Subsidiaries with respect to which Pledge Agreements pledging the Capital Stock or other equity interests therein have been
delivered as Collateral hereunder which have not theretofore been released, constitute, in the aggregate, an amount that is less than 90% of all assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined as of the last day of the
most recent fiscal quarter of the Borrower (the “90% Test”), the Borrower shall cause to be pledged, pursuant to Pledge Agreements (or amendments to previously executed Pledge Agreements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), the
Capital Stock or other equity interests in such additional Subsidiaries as may be required to satisfy the 90% Test. The specific Subsidiaries with respect to which such pledges shall be required shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, provided, however, that in the absence of such agreement, the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries having the greatest amount of assets (and with respect to which the pledge of such Capital Stock or equity interests would not be


  

 80 








 
prohibited by applicable laws or regulations) shall be pledged to the extent necessary to satisfy the 90% Test. For purposes of this Section
8.01(a)(ii), the assets of a Subsidiary shall exclude its interests (if any) in any other Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all of the Capital Stock of Strategic Technologies, Inc. shall be pledged pursuant
to a Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (b) Intentionally Omitted.

  
 (c) Release of Certain Pledges. In the event that any
Subsidiary with respect to which a Pledge Agreement pledging the Capital Stock or other equity interests therein has been delivered ceases to be a Significant Subsidiary (as determined as of the last day of two consecutive fiscal quarters of the
Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall, upon written request from the Borrower, cause the pledge with respect to such Subsidiary to be released, provided, however, that no such release shall be required if, as a result thereof, the 90% Test
provided for in Section 8.01(a)(ii) would not be satisfied. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note. 
  
 (a) Pledge. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, upon the request of the Administrative Agent (which may not be made without the prior written consent from the Required Lenders and which shall be made upon the written

all the Secured Obligations, a first lien and security interest in the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note Pledge
Agreement shall require all principal payments payable under the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note to be made directly to the Administrative Agent and applied to the principal outstanding under the Notes as required under Section 2.06(d).

  
 (b) Collateral Documentation. If and when the Borrower
is required to grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note pursuant to Section 8.02(a), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent: 
  
 (i) a pledge and security agreement (the “Mortgage
Banking Subsidiaries Note Pledge Agreement”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, duly executed by the Borrower and each Guarantor that is a payee under the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note, granting the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a first lien on, and security interest in, the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note;

duly executed by the Borrower and each Guarantor that is a payee under the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note, transferring the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders; and 
  
 (iii) a written acknowledgment duly executed by the Borrower
and each Guarantor that is a payee under the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note, that the 

  

 81 








 
Administrative Agent holds the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note as Collateral for the Secured Obligations. 
  
 All the foregoing documents shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the
date that the Borrower is required to grant the Administrative Agent the security interest in the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note. All of the documentation and other items required under this Section 8.02 must be fully satisfactory, both

and deliver to the Administrative Agent such assignments, pledges, financing statements and other documents, and cause to be done such further acts, all as the Administrative Agent from time to time may deem necessary or appropriate to evidence,
confirm, perfect or protect any security interest required to be granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. Collateral Trusts. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, in the event that, and for as long as, the terms of the Existing Borrower Public
Debt require that the holder of such Existing Borrower Public Debt shall have an equal and ratable Lien in any of the Collateral, the Liens upon such Collateral provided to be granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall instead be granted to
a collateral trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under the terms of an agreement (“Collateral Trust Agreement”) either in the form heretofore delivered pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or substantially in
the form of Exhibit T hereto, and providing for such Collateral to be for the equal and ratable benefit of the trustee of the Existing Borrower Public Debt (for the benefit of the holders of the Existing Borrower Public Debt) and the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations). The fees and expenses of such collateral trustee shall be borne by the Borrower.

Lender or Issuer and may exercise the same as though it was not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and issue letters of credit for the account of, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, trust, debt,
equity and other transactions) in addition to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Lender shall be deemed by the
execution hereof to have waived any rights under any loan or other agreement with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates relating to any other business or loans to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which are not a part of the Commitments under
this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 10.08. Knowledge of Event of
Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Administrative Agent active on the
Borrower’s account have actual knowledge of such occurrence or have been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that an Event of Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof.

  
 SECTION 10.09. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement
and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is
entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of
the Loan Documents and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way 

  

 87 








 
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the
enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

  
 SECTION 10.10. Notices to the Borrower. In each
instance that a notice is required, pursuant to the terms hereof, to be given by one or more of the Lenders to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Lenders desiring that such notice be given shall so advise the Administrative Agent (which advice, if
given by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed by telex or letter to the Administrative Agent at its address listed in the signature pages hereto), which shall transmit such notice to the Borrower or such Subsidiary promptly after its having been
so advised by the appropriate number of Lenders; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 10.15 hereof, if the Administrative Agent shall fail to transmit such notice within a reasonable period of time after its
having been so advised by the appropriate number of Lenders, the Lenders desiring that such notice be given may transmit such notice directly to the Borrower or such Subsidiary. In any event notices to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be sent to
the address of the Borrower provided for in this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 10.11. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written
instructions signed by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes and on all
Holders of Secured Obligations. Except where an action or inaction is expressly required under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Documents
unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

  
 SECTION 10.12. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10.13. Collateral. 
  
 (a) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such Loan Documents and to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to take all action contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender agrees that no Holder of
Secured Obligations, other than 

  

 88 








 
the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Holders of Secured Obligations, shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security
granted by any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, upon the terms of the Loan Documents. 

 
 (b) In the event that any Collateral is pledged by any Person as
collateral security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral
in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations. 
  
 (c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to
release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.13(c). 
  
 (d) Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Documents, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and upon at least ten (10)
Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall
not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party) in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without
limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the consummation of any Permitted Disposition, the
Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, shall release from its Guaranty any Loan Party whose stock is sold in such Permitted Disposition, and shall release such stock from the applicable Pledge Agreement. No release of
Collateral shall affect the obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.06(b). 
  
 SECTION 10.14. Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent. If, at any time, Lenders holding Notes having aggregate outstanding principal balances equal to at least 75% of the then outstanding amount of
the Aggregate Commitment (excluding from such computation the Administrative Agent and its Notes) shall deem it advisable, those Lenders may submit to the Administrative Agent notification by certified mail, return receipt requested of its 

  

 89 








 
removal as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, which removal shall be effective as of the date of receipt of such notice by the Administrative Agent.
If, at any time, the Administrative Agent shall deem it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may submit to each of the Lenders written notification, by certified mail, return receipt requested, of its resignation as Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, which resignation shall be effective as of 60 days after the date of such notice. In the event of any such removal or resignation, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor to the Administrative Agent. In the event the Administrative
Agent shall have resigned and/or have been removed and so long as no successor shall have been appointed, the Borrower shall make all payments due each Lender hereunder directly to that Lender and all powers specifically delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof may be exercised by the Required Lenders. Upon the removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents. After the removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken while it was acting as
the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10.15. Benefits of Article X. None of the provisions of this Article X shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower or of any Person other than Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. Accordingly, neither the Borrower nor any Person other than Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) shall be entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, the failure of
the Administrative Agent or any Lenders to comply with the provisions of this Article X. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 SETOFF; RATABLE
PAYMENTS 
  
 SECTION 11.01. Set-off. In addition to,
and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Loan Party becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default or Unmatured Default occurs, any indebtedness from any Lender to any Loan Party (including all
account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 11.01 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which that Lender may have under this Agreement or otherwise. 
  
 SECTION 11.02. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon any of
its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender with respect to the Loans (other than payments with respect to a Facility that are
received ratably by the Lenders of such Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of such Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender
will hold its Applicable Pro Rata Share of all Loans. If any 

  

 90 








 
Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its
Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
  
 SECTION 12.01. Successors and Permitted Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) except as otherwise provided in the next
succeeding sentence, any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.03. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support
of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations to its
trustee. 
  
 SECTION 12.02. Participations. 
  
 (a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment
of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under
this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) Voting
Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any
Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations or Commitment, postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment, releases any Guarantor of any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or releases
any substantial portion of Collateral, if any, securing any such Loan or Facility Letter of Credit Obligations. 
  

 91 








 (c) Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right
of setoff provided in Section 11.01 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan
Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each
Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.02
as if each Participant were a Lender. 
  
 SECTION 12.03.
Assignments. 
  
 (a) Permitted Assignments. Any
Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations) (including, without limitation, Facility C Loans) (i) to one or more other Lenders or to such
assigning Lender’s parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in
bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor or such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or Lenders
of such Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations) to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating, solely for purposes of the foregoing $5,000,000 minimum limitation but not for any other purpose, including the fee payable to the Administrative
Agent as hereinafter provided, (A) any fund that invests in bank loans and (B) any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, as a single Eligible
Assignee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an assignment and assumption agreement (“Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) substantially in form of Exhibit V (appropriately
completed), provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be) of such new Lender or the existing Lenders, (ii) upon surrender of the relevant
Notes, new Notes will be issued by the Borrower to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender (but the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent’s or any
Lender’s costs and expenses with respect to the issuance of such Note or Notes unless the assignment is made pursuant to Section 2.27), (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iv) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment of Commitments to an assignee pursuant to clause
(y) above (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor or assignee (as
agreed to by them) and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.07. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 12.03, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. 
  

 92 








 (b) Tax Requirements. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.03 to a
Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee shall provide to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 2.23. 
  
 (c) Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or any other Person acquiring an interest in
the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII

hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be designated by such
party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received (or when delivery is refused); any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given
when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of telexes and facsimile confirmation in the case of a facsimile). 
  
 (b) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other
parties hereto. 
  
 SECTION 13.02. Survival of
Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans herein contemplated and the execution and delivery to
the Lenders of the Notes evidencing the Commitments, and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, all Facility Letters of Credit have been terminated and all of the Commitments have been
terminated. 
  
 SECTION 13.03. Expenses. The Borrower shall
pay (a) all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent or any Lender), incurred by the Administrative Agent and any Lender in connection with the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to any of the provisions thereof and the enforcement and protection of the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, including all recording and filing fees, documentary stamp, intangibles and similar taxes, title insurance premiums, appraisal fees and other costs and disbursements incurred in connection with the taking of collateral

 93 








 
of Administrative Agent’s attorneys (which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and review of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated) and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 SECTION 13.04. Indemnification of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Administrative
Agent or a Lender have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall the Administrative Agent be indemnified against any liabilities which arise as a result of any claims made or actions, suits or
proceedings commenced or maintained against any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such) (i) by that Lender’s shareholders or any governmental regulatory body or authority asserting that such Lender or any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents violated any banking or securities law or regulation or any duty to its own shareholders, customers (excluding the Borrower) or creditors in any manner whatsoever in entering into or performing any of its
obligations contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) by any other Lender. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 13.05. Maximum Interest Rate. It is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower that the interest (as
defined under applicable law) on the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes which may be charged to, or collected or received from the Borrower shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any
of the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, should any interest (as so defined) be charged to, or collected or received from the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of the maximum legal rate, then the excess payment shall
be applied to the Obligations with respect to which such excess payment applies or, if such excess payment applies to all Obligations, then pro rata among the Facility A Obligations, the Facility B Obligations and Facility C Obligations, and any
portion of the excess payment remaining after payment in full thereof shall be returned by the Lenders to the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 13.06. Modification of Agreement. 
  
 (a) Neither this Agreement nor any Note or Guaranty nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change,
waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party to such Loan Document) and the Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent
of each Lender (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of the following clause (i)): (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or any portion thereof or extend the stated maturity of any Facility Letter of
Credit beyond the 

  

 94 








 
Facility A Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the
extent repaid in cash), (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article XI or this Section 13.06, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of the Required Lenders or change the definitions of Applicable Pro Rata
Share, Facility A Pro Rata Share, Facility B Revolver Pro Rata Share, Facility B Term Pro Rata Share or Facility C Pro Rata Share, (iv) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(v) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or (vi) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, release any Guarantor from
its obligations under its Guaranty; provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that waivers or
modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, any Unmatured Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction to the Aggregate Facility A Commitment or Aggregate Facility B Commitment or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), without the consent of such Lender, (B) without the consent
of each Issuer affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.21 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Facility Letters of Credit, (C) without the consent of the Swing Line Bank, amend, modify or waive any
provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Swing Line Bank or with respect to the Swing Line Loans (including, without limitation, the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances in repayment of Swing Line Loans) or (D) without the
consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Article X or any other provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in any case the Required Banks may
waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or Commitment reduction, so long as the application of any such prepayment, repayment or Commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered. 
  
 (b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Documents as contemplated in clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.06(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is
obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in
either clauses (i) or (ii) below, either (i) to replace each such non-consenting Lender with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.27 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender
consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (ii) to terminate each such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and repay in full its outstanding Loans, provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and
Loans that are repaid, pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case
must specifically consent thereto in writing), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (ii) the Required Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto and, provided
further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or 

  

 95 








 
repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the
second proviso to Section 13.06(a). 
  
 (c) Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof to any Loan are, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, satisfied, any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall
fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan and such failure continues for at least two Business Days then, for so long as such failure shall continue, such Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Required Lenders, determined as if such Defaulting
Lender were not a “Lender” hereunder, shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to changes, waivers, discharges and termination under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section
13.06(a)) to have no Loans or Commitments, shall not be treated as a “Lender” hereunder when performing the computation of Required Lenders, and shall have no rights under the first proviso of Section 13.06(a); provided
that any action taken by the other Lenders with respect to the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of the first proviso of Section 13.06(a) shall not be effective as against such Defaulting Lender.

  
 SECTION 13.07. Register. The Agent shall maintain a
register (the “Register”), acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent of the Borrower, on which Agent will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and
each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any
Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of
assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.03. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the applicable Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon the Borrower shall, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, issue one or more new Notes in the same
aggregate principal amount to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. 
  
 SECTION 13.08. Preservation of Rights. No notice to or demand of the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same or similar circumstances. No delay or
omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding
the existence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Default, or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation 

  

 96 








 
of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to
Section 13.06, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
until the Obligations have been paid in full and all Facility Letters of Credit have terminated and all Commitments have terminated. 
  
 SECTION 13.09. Several Obligations of Lenders. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall
be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. 
  
 SECTION 13.10. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or the Notes is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. 
  
 SECTION 13.11. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single agreement binding on all the parties hereto. 
  
 SECTION 13.12. Right to Terminate Certain Commitments. In the event
that the Borrower at any time (a) requests the extension of the Facility B Termination Date and obtains all requisite consents to such extension provided for in this Agreement, except for those of one or more Facility B Lenders, and (b) desires to
exercise any right provided for in this Agreement to terminate a Commitment of any such non-consenting Lender, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may elect to terminate either all of such
non-consenting Lender’s Commitments or only the Facility B Commitment of such non-consenting Lender. Nothing herein contained shall limit the rights of the Borrower to terminate any Commitments otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

  
 SECTION 13.13. Loss, etc., Notes. Upon receipt by the
Borrower of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the Notes, upon reimbursement to the Borrower of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and upon surrender and cancellation of the relevant
Note, if mutilated, the Borrower shall make and deliver in lieu of that Note (the “Prior Note”) a new Note of like tenor, except that no reference need be made in the new Note to any installment or installments of principal, if any,
previously due and paid upon the Prior Note. Any Note made and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be dated as of the date to which interest has been paid on the unpaid principal amount of the Prior Note. 
  
 SECTION 13.14. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation. 
  

 97 








 SECTION 13.15. Taxes. Any taxes (excluding federal, state or local income taxes on the overall net
income of any Lender) or other similar assessments or charges payable or ruled payable by any governmental authority in respect of the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any. 
  
 SECTION 13.16. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are
for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 13.17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
provided, however, that the fees payable by Borrower are set forth in the Fee Letter. 
  
 SECTION 13.18. CHOICE OF LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW
OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. 
  
 SECTION 13.19. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR
NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED
IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWER AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. 
  
 SECTION 13.20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR
THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
