Default (in either case, a “Cash Dominion Event”), the Agent shall be the only Person entitled to give the Clearing Bank instructions directing disposition of funds in such Payment Account or other account to which such collections are
deposited without further consent by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon and after a Cash Dominion Event, no collections received in such Payment Account or other account may be used to fund an account maintained with the Bank

and which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Bank permitted under clause (l) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” The Agent or the Agent’s designee may, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, notify Account
Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to the Agent and of the Agent’s security interest therein, and may collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan. So long as an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, at the Agent’s request, shall execute and deliver to the Agent such documents as the Agent shall require to grant the Agent access to any post office box in which collections of Accounts are
received.

 (v) The proviso at the end of such Section is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  
 and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, affect the rights or
duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto, and (iii) the Agent may, in its sole discretion and
notwithstanding the limitations 

  

 12 








 
contained in clauses (e) and (i) above and any other terms of this Agreement, make Agent Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(i). 
  
 (n) Article 14 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section thereto: 
  
 14.18
Co-Agents None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “documentation agent” or “collateral agent” shall have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders or other Persons as such. Without limiting the foregoing none of the Lenders so identified as a “syndication agent” or
“documentation agent” or “collateral agent” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so
identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  
 (o) Section 15.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  
 15.7 Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent, for its benefit, on demand, all costs and expenses that Agent pays or incurs in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, consummation, administration, enforcement, and termination of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, including: (a) reasonable Attorney Costs; (b) costs and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and disbursements) for any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent, or subsequent closing in connection
with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (c) costs and reasonable expenses of lien and title searches and title insurance; (d) taxes, fees and other charges for filing financing statements and continuations, and other
actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens (including costs and reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with the consummation of Agreement); (e) sums paid or incurred to pay any amount or take any action
required of the Borrower under the Loan Documents that the Borrower fails to pay or take; (f) costs of appraisals, inspections, and verifications of the Collateral, including travel, lodging, and meals for inspections of the Collateral and the
Borrower’s operations by the Agent plus the Agent’s then customary charge for field examinations and audits and the preparation of reports thereof (such charge is currently $825 per day (or portion thereof) for each agent or employee of
the Agent with respect to each field examination or audit); (g) costs and reasonable expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining Payment Accounts and lock boxes; and (h) costs
and reasonable expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and disbursements which shall
include the allocated cost of Agent’s in-house 

  

 13 








 
counsel fees and disbursements) to the Agent, for its benefit, on demand, and to the other Lenders for their benefit, on demand, and all reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements incurred by such other Lenders for one law firm representing such other Lenders, in each case, paid or incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations, enforce the Agent’s Liens, sell or otherwise realize upon the
Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents, or to defend any claims made or threatened against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including preparations for and consultations
concerning any such matters). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions of the Loan Documents regarding costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be charged to the
Borrower’s Loan Account as Revolving Loans as described in Section 4.7. 
  
 (p) Section 15.16 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  
 15.16 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the
Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such
Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower and the Agent 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 such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE BANK MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH CASH COLLATERAL OR CASH EQUIVALENTS HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
CALCULATION OF NET DOMESTIC CASH AS REPORTED TO THE LENDERS (WHETHER ON THE MOST RECENT BORROWING BASE CERTIFICATE OR OTHERWISE) WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER, EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, LIEN OR THE
LIKE AGAINST ANY CASH COLLATERAL OR CASH EQUIVALENTS OF THE BORROWER 

  

 14 








 
HELD OR MAINTAINED BY THE BANK SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING A SPECIFIED BANK PRODUCT PROVIDED BY BANK TO THE PARENT OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES
AND SUBJECT TO A LIEN IN FAVOR OF THE BANK PERMITTED UNDER CLAUSE (L) OF THE DEFINITION OF “PERMITTED LIENS,” FOR APPLICATION AGAINST ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARENT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES IN RESPECT OF BANK PRODUCTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT
AND OTHER FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS PROVIDED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BANK. 
  
 (q) Section 15.18 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  
 15.18 Contribution and Indemnification among the Borrower. Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several
obligors under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other
Obligations incurred directly and primarily by the other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of
the other Borrower in an amount, for each of such other Borrower, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) and the denominator of
which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrower. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted
against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such
Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this
section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent
provision. The failure or inability of any Borrower to recover from the other Borrower such other Borrower’s share of any Accommodation Payment made by such Borrower, or the unenforceability as to any Borrower of any of the foregoing provisions
of this Section 15.18, shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s joint and several obligations hereunder. In no event shall any Paying Borrower be entitled to any 

  

 15 








 
payment from the other Borrower in respect of any Accommodation Payment made by such Paying Borrower in excess of the amount of such Accommodation Payment.

  
 (r) Article 15 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following new Sections thereto: 
  
 15.19 Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of: (i) any defense now existing or hereafter arising based upon any legal disability or other defense of the other Borrower or any guarantor or
other Person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person from any cause other than full payment and performance of all obligations due under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents; (ii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person, or any defect in the formation of the
other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person; (iii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection, or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations; (iv) any and all
rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; (v) any defense based upon any failure to disclose to such Borrower any information concerning the financial
condition of the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person or any other circumstances bearing on the ability of the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person to pay and perform all obligations due under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents; (vi) any failure by the Agent or any Lender to give notice to any Borrower or any guarantor or other Person of the sale or other disposition of security, and any defect in notice given by the Agent or any Lender in connection with
any such sale or disposition of security; (vii) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or disposition of security, including, without limitation, any failure by the Lender to conduct a
commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of such security; (viii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome
than that of a principal, or that reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal’s obligation; (ix) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (x) any defense based upon an
election by the Agent or any Lender, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any 

  

 16 








 
right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have against the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person and
any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security now or hereafter held by the Agent or any Lender for the Obligations; (xiii) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the
existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations; (xiv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of the other Borrower or any guarantor or other Person, enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, the liability of any Borrower hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (xv) all notices of intention to accelerate and/or notice of acceleration of the Obligations; (xvi) relief from any applicable valuation or appraisement laws; (xvii) any
other action by the Agent or any Lender, whether authorized by this Agreement or otherwise, or any omission by the Agent or any Lender or other failure of the Agent or any Lender to pursue, or delay in pursuing, any other remedy in its power;
(xviii) any and all claims and/or rights of counterclaim, recoupment, setoff or offset; and (xix) any defense based upon the application of the proceeds of a Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by the Borrower or intended or
understood by the Agent or any Lender or any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that the payment and performance of all Obligations or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Borrower’s liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, each Borrower further waives any and all
rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the debt of the Borrower is secured by real property of other Borrower; this means, among other things, that: (1) the Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any
real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrower, (2) if the Agent or any Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the other Borrower, then (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which
that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) the Agent or any Lender may collect from such Borrower even if the Agent or any Lender, by foreclosing on the real property
collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrower. The foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by
real property of the other Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that California Civil Code Section 2856 authorizes and validates waivers of a guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement and waivers of certain other rights and
defenses available to a guarantor under California law. Based on the preceding sentence and without limiting the generality of the foregoing waivers contained in this subparagraph or any other provision hereof, each Borrower expressly waives to the
extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses (except the defense of indefeasible final payment in full), including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (except 

  

 17 








 
contribution pursuant to this Agreement), which might otherwise be available to such Borrower under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive,
2899 and 3433 and under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 (or any of such sections), or any other jurisdiction to the extent the same are applicable to this Agreement or the agreements, covenants or obligations of
any Borrower hereunder. 
  
 15.20 Independent
Investigation. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of the other Borrower, and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon such Borrower’s own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto and
is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement by the Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning the financial condition of the other Borrower or any
other guarantor or their respective properties, financial condition and prospects and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Borrower may desire, and such Borrower is not relying upon or expecting the Agent or any Lender to furnish to such
Borrower any information now or hereafter in the possession of the Agent or any Lender concerning the same or any other matter. By executing this Agreement, each Borrower knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of
this type, which risks such Borrower acknowledges. No Borrower shall have the right to require the Agent or any Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to the Obligations, the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, the
ability of any Borrower to pay or perform the Obligations, the existence, perfection, priority or enforceability of any collateral security for any or all of the Obligations, the existence or enforceability of any other guaranties of all or any part
of the Obligations, any action or non-action on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person, or any other event, occurrence, condition or circumstance whatsoever. 
  
 15.21 Stay of Acceleration. If demand for, or
acceleration of the time for, payment by any Borrower to Agent or any Lender of any Obligations of any Borrower is stayed upon the commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Proceeding for such Borrower, all such
Obligations otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each other Borrower hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent. 
  
 15.22 Subrogation. No payment by any Borrower
pursuant to Article 15 or other satisfaction of the Obligations of any Borrower under Article 15 shall entitle it, by subrogation to the rights of Agent or any Lender, or by right of contribution, reimbursement, exoneration or
otherwise, to any payment from the other Borrower or out of the property of the other Borrower, except after the payment in full to Agent and all the Lenders of all sums which are or may become payable to any of them at any time or from time to time
by the Borrower, 

  

 18 








 
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the termination of this Agreement. Upon the payment in full of all sums referred to in the immediately
preceding sentence and the termination of this Agreement, each Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights of Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the extent of any payments made by them hereunder. 
  
 15.23 Cumulative Remedies. The Agent and Lenders may
pursue their rights and remedies under this Article 15 and Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to payment from the Borrower under this Article 15 notwithstanding any other guarantee of or security for all or any part of the Obligations
of the Borrower or any other Person, and notwithstanding any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any Lender to enforce any of its rights or remedies against any Borrower or any other Person hereunder or under such other guarantee or with
respect to any other security. 
  
 15.24
Additional Waivers. Except for notices and demands expressly provided for herein, the Borrower hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices (whether of nonpayment, dishonor, protest or otherwise) with
respect to the Obligations, notice of acceptance of the guaranty by the Borrower contained in this Article 15 and of the incurrence by any Borrower of any Obligation and all demands whatsoever. 
  
 15.25 Survival. The provisions of Article 15
shall continue in effect and be binding upon the Borrower until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated. The liability of the Borrower under this Article 15 shall be reinstated and revived with respect
to any amount at any time paid to or for the account of Agent and any Lender by any Borrower or any other Person which is thereafter required to be, and that is, restored and returned by Agent and any Lender to such Borrower or such Person, or its
trustee or receiver or similar official, upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Borrower or such Person, or for any other reason, all as though such amount had not been paid by such Borrower or such Person. 
  
 (s) Section 15.19 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting section
reference “15.19” and substituting section reference “15.26” therefor. 
  
 (t) Section 15.20 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting section reference “15.20” and substituting section reference “15.27” therefor. 
  
 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Agent and the Lenders as follows: 
  
 (a) No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result from the amendment of the Loan Agreement contemplated hereby). 
  

 19 








 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Loan Agreement (as
amended by this Amendment) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to or action by, any Person (including any Governmental
Authority) in order to be effective and enforceable. 
  
 (c) This
Amendment and the Loan Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. 
  
 (d) All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Loan
Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date). 
  
 (e) The Borrower is entering into this Amendment on the basis of its own
investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance upon the Agent and the Lenders or any other Person. 
  
 (f) The Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents are not subject to any defense, counterclaim, set-off,
right of recoupment, abatement or other claim. 
  
 4. Conditions of
Effectiveness. 
  
 (a) This Amendment shall be effective as of
the date hereof (the “Effective Date”); provided, that, the Agent shall have received (i) from the Borrower and each Lender, a duly executed original (or, if elected by the Agent, an executed facsimile copy) of this
Amendment and (ii) from the Borrower, payment of all reasonable Attorney Costs of the Agent to the extent invoiced on or prior to October 3, 2003 (including any previously invoiced and outstanding Attorney Costs that relate to services previously
provided). 
  
 (b) From and after the Effective Date, the Loan
Agreement is amended as set forth herein. Except as expressly amended pursuant hereto, the Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms that the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Loan Agreement constitute valid and perfected first priority Liens on the Collateral (subject only to Permitted
Liens) and secure the Obligations. 
  
 (c) The Agent will notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of the occurrence of the Effective Date. 
  
 5.
Acknowledgement of Priority of Bank’s Lien. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower agree and acknowledge that (i) the Bank’s Liens on cash collateral and cash equivalents permitted under clause (l) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens” shall be senior to the Agent’s 

  

 20 








 
Liens on such cash collateral and cash equivalents and (ii) such Lien priority of the Bank’s Liens on cash collateral and cash equivalents permitted
under clause (l) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document requires
that the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral be of first priority, and, accordingly, any relevant representations, warranties, covenants or conditions shall be deemed amended to exempt the cash collateral and cash equivalents that is subject to the
Bank’s Liens permitted under clause (l) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” from the general requirement that the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral be of first priority. 
  
 6. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery by the Agent and the Lenders of this Amendment
shall not be deemed to create a course of dealing or an obligation to execute similar waivers or amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the future. 
  
 (b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective
successors and assigns. 
  
 (c) This Amendment shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California; provided, that, the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all rights arising under Federal law. 
  
 (d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Each of the parties hereto understands and agrees that this document (and any other document required herein) may be delivered by any party thereto either in the form of an
executed original or an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Agent of a facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Lender or
the Borrower shall bind such Lender or the Borrower, respectively, with the same force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not diminish the
binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by the Agent. 
  
 (e) This Amendment contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein. This Amendment
supersedes all prior drafts and communications with respect hereto. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2 of the Loan Agreement. 
  
 (f) If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such
provision shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents. 
  

 21 








 (g) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Bank of America, N.A. (including in its capacity as Agent),
