WHEREAS, the Bank is willing to provide such credit upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:

Available Tenor means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-
current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of any Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of any Interest Period pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.10(b).

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment means, with respect to any replacement of the then- current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(b)the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2)for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement," the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Bank for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing  market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities;
provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion.

breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Bank decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation  of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Bank in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Bank decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Bank determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Bank decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(2)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or
(3)in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrower, so long as the Bank has not received, by 5:00  p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrower, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from the Borrower.

(1)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

All partial prepayment shall be applied to any installments due on the Loans in the inverse order of their respective due dates.
4.3.3.Mandatory Prepayments.  Whenever the Revolving Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall make, within seven (7) days after the Borrower learns of such excess and whether or not the Bank has given notice to such effect, a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the excess of the Revolving Facility Usage over the Borrowing Base, together with accrued interest on

Exhibit 10.6

such principal amount.  If Borrower fails to specify the applicable Interest Rate Option to which any such prepayment shall apply, all prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.3.3 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options first to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the LIBOR Advantage Rate Option, and then to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option.
4.4LIBOR Breakage Fees.  The Borrower acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Rate Loan during a LIBOR Interest Period shall result in the Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities.  Therefore, upon prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the certificate described in the paragraph below, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (the "LIBOR Breakage Fee") as calculated by the Bank, equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that the Bank may sustain as a result of such default or payment.  The Borrower understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (1) the Bank does not have any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan, (2) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (3) the Borrower have accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate, the LIBOR Breakage Fee, and other funding losses incurred by the Bank.  The Borrower further agree to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the Bank elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
A certificate as to the amount of the LIBOR Breakage Fee submitted by the Bank to the Borrower in good faith shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
In addition to the LIBOR Breakage Fee, the Borrower agree to reimburse the Bank (without duplication) for any increase in the cost to the Bank, or reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by the Bank, in respect, or as a result of:
(i)any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of such LIBOR Rate Loan's LIBOR Interest Period, whether pursuant to Section 2.3, Section 4.1, Section 4.3, Section 4.8 or otherwise;
(ii)any costs associated with marking to market any Hedge Liabilities that in the reasonable determination of the Bank are required to be terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of such LIBOR Rate Loan's LIBOR Interest Period, whether pursuant to Section  2.3, Section 4.1, Section 4.3, Section 4.8 or otherwise;
The Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount.  Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower to the Bank within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
4.5LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful.  If the Bank shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law or other rule, regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any Official Body, central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Bank to make, continue or maintain any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, then any such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until the Bank shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law and assertion.

4.6Increased Costs.
If any Change in Law:
(i)shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting any Loan or its obligation to make any Loan; or
(ii)shall impose on Bank any other condition affecting any Loan or its obligation to make any Loan, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, within five (5) Business Days after written demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction (other than Taxes).  A statement of the Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.  In determining such amount, the Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable.
4.7Increased Capital Costs.  If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank, or Person controlling the Bank, and the Bank determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or the Loan made by the Bank is reduced to a level below that which the Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to the Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return (other than Taxes).  A statement of the Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  In determining such amount, the Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.
4.8Taxes.  All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding of Taxes, except as required by any applicable Law.  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then the Borrower will:
(i)pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii)promptly forward to the Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Bank evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii)with respect to Indemnified Taxes, pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Bank will equal the full amount the Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required.
Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Bank with respect to any payment received by the Bank hereunder, the Bank may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will, in the case of Indemnified Taxes, promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Bank after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Bank would have received had not such Indemnified Taxes been asserted.
- 20 -
268107533



Exhibit 10.6

If the Borrower fail to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Bank the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for any incremental Indemnified Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of any such failure.
4.9Unavailability of LIBOR Rate.  In the event that the Borrower shall have requested the making or renewal of or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan whether pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.1.2, 3.1.3(ii) and/or 3.1.5 or otherwise and the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall have determined that U.S. dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period are not available to the Bank in the London interbank market or by reason of circumstances affecting the Bank in the London interbank market or otherwise (including the suspension of the administration of the LIBOR Rate), adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or the LIBOR Rate no longer adequately and fairly reflects the Bank’s cost of funding loans, upon notice from the Bank to the Borrower, the obligations of the Bank under Section 2.3, 3.1.2, 3.1.3(ii) and/or 3.1.5 to make or continue any Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the Bank shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by Law or determination.
4.10Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)Temporary Unavailability of LIBOR Rate and/or LIBOR Advantage Rate.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or any LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, as applicable:
(i)the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Advantage Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(ii)the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Advantage Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period. will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining such Loan for such Interest Period;
then the Bank shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone or as otherwise permitted hereunder as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any notice under this Agreement that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (y) if any request for any extension of credit under this Agreement requests a LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, as the case may be, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.
(b)        Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 4.10(b), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, or in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes

hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Borrower without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or further action or consent of Borrower or any other Loan Party (other than Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes made in accordance with clause (ii) below).
(vi)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Bank will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower or any other Loan Party.

The Bank will promptly notify Borrower of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period, provided that the failure to give such notice under this clause (E) shall not affect the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(iv)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (I) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Bank may modify the definition of “LIBOR Interest Period” and/or “LA Interest Period”, as applicable, for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (II) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (I) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Bank may modify the definition of “LIBOR Interest Period” and/or “LA Interest Period”, as applicable, for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued with respect to the then-current Benchmark during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans.

9.15Certifications From Bank and Participants
9.15.1.Tax Withholding.  Any assignee or participant of the Bank that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Bank or assignee or participant of the Bank) agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Bank two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under §1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations")) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code.  The term "Withholding Certificate" means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person.  Any assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Bank a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Bank in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Bank).  Any assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Bank two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Bank.  Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Bank shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full thirty percent (30%) withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations.  Further, the Bank is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any assignee or participant of the Bank for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.
