institutions listed on Schedule 1 or who later become a party hereto (the Lenders).



RECITALS



A. Borrower desires to obtain financing for a portion of the purchase price for the aggregate 50% interest of Panda GS V, LLC and Panda GS VI, LLC in TECO-Panda Generating Company, L.P. (TPGC). In connection therewith,
the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide such financing to Borrower.



B. The Lenders are willing to provide to Borrower up to a $37,500,000 secured term loan upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.



AGREEMENT



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein and in the other Credit Documents and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set
forth herein and therein, the parties agree as follows:



ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS



1.1 Definitions.



Except as otherwise expressly provided, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and its exhibits shall have the meanings given in Exhibit A.



1.2 Rules of Interpretation.



Except as otherwise expressly provided, the Rules of Interpretation set
forth in Exhibit A shall apply to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.



ARTICLE II.

THE TERM LOAN



2.1 Term Loan.



2.1.1 Loan Commitment.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing and
notified to each Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.3(a), each Lender severally agrees to lend to Borrower such Lenders Proportionate Share of an aggregate term loan of up to $37,500,000 (the Loan). Until the conditions set
forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied, the foregoing commitment shall have no force or effect. If the Loan is not made prior to July 31, 2003, the commitment set forth in this Section 2.1.1(a) shall expire and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make
the Loan.



---

2.1.2 Notice of Borrowing.Borrower shall request the Loan by delivering to Administrative Agent
an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit C-l, appropriately completed (a Notice of Borrowing), not less than three days prior to Borrowers desired funding date (or, if the Loan will be solely Base Rate
Loans, not later than the day prior to such funding date) which specifies:



(a) The principal portion of the Loan which will bear interest as provided in (i) Section 2.1.2(a) (individually, a Base Rate Loan) and (ii) Section 2.1.2(b) (individually, a LIBOR
Loan);



(b) The amount of the Loan;



(c) The date of the Loan, which shall be a Banking Day no later than July
31, 2003; and



(d) The account(s) to which the proceeds of the
Loan are to be deposited.



2.1.3 Loan Funding.



(a) Notice. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the contents of the Notice of Borrowing.



(b)
Pro Rata Loans. The Loan shall be made on a pro ratabasis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares.



(c) Lender Funding. Each Lender shall, on the date of the Loan, before 12:00 noon in the case of LIBOR Loans and 2:00 p.m. in the case of Base Rate
Loans, in each case, make available to Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 8.1, in same day funds, such Lenders Proportionate Share of the Loan. The failure of any Lender to make its Proportionate Share of the Loan shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Proportionate Share of the Loan. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender.



(d) Loan Funding. No later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of LIBOR Loans
and 3:00 p.m. in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Article III have been satisfied or waived and to the extent Administrative Agent shall have received the
appropriate funds from the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make available the Loan requested in such Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, at Administrative Agents New York Branch, and shall transfer such funds
to the bank account(s) specified by Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing.



2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely toward acquisition of the Purchased Interests, including transaction costs in connection therewith.



2.2 Interest Provisions.



2



---

2.2.1 Interest Rates.Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan from
the date of the Loan until the Maturity Date (or until the prepayment by Borrower to the Administrative Agent of the full principal amount and all applicable interest, fees and other payments under this Agreement) at one of the following rates:



(a) During such periods as the Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change; and



(b) During such periods as the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum during each Interest Period equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin.



2.2.2 Type of Loan.Unless
otherwise specified by Borrower in a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type and except as otherwise provided for herein, the Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Borrower shall not request, and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make, LIBOR Loans at any
time an Inchoate Default or Event of Default exists. If an Event of Default exists at the end of an Interest Period, any LIBOR Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan at such time.



2.2.3 Interest Payment Dates.Borrower shall pay accrued interest on
the unpaid principal amount of the Loan (a) when it is a Base Rate Loan, on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (b) when it is a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period related to the LIBOR Loan and, with respect to Interest
Periods longer than three months, the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, and (c) in all cases, upon prepayment (to the extent thereof and including any optional prepayments), upon conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type and at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).



2.2.4
Interest Periods.



(a) The Interest Period selected by
Borrower during a period in which the Loan is a LIBOR Loan shall be one, two, three or six months or such other period as close to six months as is practicable to enable Borrower to comply with clause (i) of the next sentence. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, (i) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in another calendar
month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Banking Day, (ii) any Interest Period which begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Banking Day of the next calendar month, and (iii) any Interest Period which would otherwise end after the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date.



(b) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any time prior to the end
of an Interest Period for a quotation of interest rates in effect at such time for given Interest Periods and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such quotation. Borrower may select an Interest Period telephonically, which selection shall be
irrevocable on and after commencement of the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Borrower shall confirm such



3



---

telephonic notice to Administrative Agent by telecopy on the day such notice is given (in substantially the form of
Exhibit C-3, a Confirmation of Interest Period Selection) and Administrative Agent shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the original of the Confirmation of
Interest Period Selection initially delivered by telecopy. If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period while the Loan is a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2.4(b), the Loan shall automatically convert to
a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable (and, in any case, within two Banking Days after delivery of the Confirmation of Interest Period Selection by telecopy as provided
above) notify Borrower of the determination of the interest rate applicable to the Loan.



2.2.5 Interest Account and Interest Computations.Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to record in an account or accounts maintained by Administrative Agent on its books (a) the interest rate applicable to
the Loan and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (b) the Interest Period for the Loan while it is a LIBOR Loan, (c) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on the Loan, and (d) such other information as Administrative
Agent may determine is necessary for the computation of interest payable by Borrower hereunder. Borrower agrees that all computations by Administrative Agent of interest shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. All computations of
interest on the Loan while it is a Base Rate Loan shall be based upon a year of 365 or 366 days and the actual days elapsed since the last interest payment date, and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Base Rate to take effect on
the beginning of the day of such change in the Base Rate. All computations of interest on the Loan while it is a LIBOR Loan shall be based upon a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed.



2.3 Conversion of Loan Type.Borrower may convert the Loan from one
Type of Loan to another Type; provided, however, that conversion of the Loan from a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the first day after the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Borrower
shall request such a conversion by a written notice to Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit C-2, appropriately completed (a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type), which specifies:



(a) The Type into which the Loan is to be converted;



(b) If the Loan is to be converted into a LIBOR Loan, the initial Interest
Period selected by Borrower for the Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.4(b); and



(c) The date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Banking Day.



Borrower shall give each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type to Administrative Agent so as to provide at least the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type may be modified or revoked by
Borrower before the commencement of the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be irrevocable. Each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered by first-class mail or telecopy to Administrative Agent at the office or to the telecopy
number and as otherwise specified in Section 8.1; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the original of any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type



4

initially delivered by telecopy. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of
Conversion of Loan Type.

|Maturity Date   |  | $25,500,000 or, if different, remaining principal balance of Loan



2.4.2 Accelerated
Amortization.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4.1, in the event that at any time Borrowers long term senior unsecured non credit enhanced debt is rated less than BBB- by S&P orBaa3 by Moodys, then Borrower
shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the principal of the Loan on or prior to the following dates in the following aggregate principal amounts, in each case together with all interest accrued on the repaid amount, and
all fees and costs due and payable on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that such rating is thereafter increased to at least BBB- by S&P and Baa3 by Moodys, then the amortization schedule shall revert to that shown in
Section 2.4.1 (without effect on any principal amounts already paid).



|Date            |  | Repayment Amount

2.5 Promissory Notes.The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan made by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein
shall be evidenced by Notes in the form of Exhibit B (each, a Note), each payable to the order of such Lender and in the principal amount of such Lenders Loan. Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule
annexed to such Lenders Note or Notes, and/or in the Lenders internal records, the date and amount of the Loan made by such Lender, and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall
constitute prima facieevidence of the matters noted. Borrower further authorizes each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lenders Note or Notes continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make



5



---

any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations shall affect the validity of Borrowers obligation
to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loan or the duties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder.



2.6 Prepayments.



2.6.1 Terms of all Prepayments.Upon the prepayment of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender which
made the Loan (a) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (b) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all Liquidation
Costs incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment (pursuant to the terms of Section 2.11). All repayments and prepayments permanently reduce the principal amount of the Loan and may not be re-drawn hereunder.



2.6.2 Optional Prepayments.Subject to Section 2.6.1, Borrower may,
at its option and without penalty, upon three Banking Days notice to Administrative Agent, prepay the Loan in whole or in part in an amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except in the case of a
prepayment of the entire Loan).

Administrative Agent, a nonrefundable agency fee in an amount set forth in the letter agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent, dated the date hereof.

2.8.1 Place and Manner.Borrower shall make all payments due to each Lender hereunder to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, to
Bayerische Hypo- Und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch, ABA No. 026 008 808, Account No. 594 004685 4055 08, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, on the date on which such payment is due.
Any payment received after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Banking Day after such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Lender each such payment received by Administrative Agent for such Lender, such
disbursement to occur on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon, otherwise on the next Banking Day.



2.8.2 Date.Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, without duplication of any interest or fees so paid in the next subsequent calculation of interest or fees payable.



6



---

2.8.3 Late Payments; Default Rate.If any amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including principal or interest payable on the Loan, and any fees or other amounts otherwise payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender) remain unpaid after such overdue amounts are due, Borrower shall pay
interest (including following any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Borrower) on the aggregate, outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate. During the
existence of any Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on all Loans at the Default Rate. To the extent any Loans remain unpaid after the Maturity Date, the applicable Default Rate on such Loans shall increase by 1% per month for
each month that such Loans remain unpaid.



2.8.4 Net of
Taxes, Etc.



(a) Taxes.Subject to each
Lenders compliance with Section 2.8.7, any and all payments to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any Lender by Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, setoff or
counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto (excluding income and franchise taxes, which include taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of Administrative Agent or such Lender by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between such Lender and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, unless such connection results solely from such Lenders executing, delivering or performing its obligations or
receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Agreement or any Note) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as Taxes), shall be equal to the
amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. If Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8.4), Administrative Agent
or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (not including income or franchise taxes)
that arise under the laws of the United States of America, the State of New York or the State of Florida from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Agreement
or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as Other Taxes).



(b) Indemnity.Borrower shall indemnify each Lender for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 2.8.4) paid by any Lender, or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,



7



---

whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that Borrower shall not be
obligated to indemnify any Lender for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Taxes or Other Taxes arising from such Lenders gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender agrees to give notice to Borrower of the assertion of any
claim against such Lender relating to such Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such assertion, and in no event later than 90 days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this
Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Lenders failure to notify Borrower of such assertion within such 90-day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.8.4 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes,
penalties, interest or expenses arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.8.4 with respect to Taxes and Other Taxes, penalties, interest or expenses accruing between the end of such
period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender makes written demand therefor (submitted through
Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof.



(c) Notice.Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 8.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by such Lender as a result of any failure by Borrower to so furnish such copy of such receipt.



(d) Conduits.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8.4, if a Lender is a conduit
entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder) then with respect to any payments made by Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note, Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8.4 to the extent that the amount of United States Taxes exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been payable if such Lender were not a conduit entity
participating in a conduit financing arrangement.



(e)
Survival of Credit Agreement Obligations.The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.8.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.



2.8.5 Application of Payments.Payments made under this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents shall (a) first be applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, (b) next to any accrued but unpaid interest then due
and owing, and (c) then to outstanding principal then due and payable or otherwise to be prepaid.



2.8.6 Failure to Pay Administrative Agent.Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower at least two Banking Days prior to
the date on which any



8



---

payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume
that Borrower has made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lender. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, such Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first five days after such date, and subsequent thereto at the Base Rate. A
certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing by such Lender under this Section 2.8.6 shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.



2.8.7 Withholding Exemption Certificates.Administrative Agent on the
Closing Date and each Lender upon becoming a Lender hereunder including any entity to which any Lender grants a participation or otherwise transfers its interest in this Agreement agrees that it will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower
either (a) a statement that it is formed under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, or (b) if it is not so incorporated, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which delivers to Borrower and
Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent further copies of the said letter and Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or successor applicable forms, or other
manner of certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent letter and forms previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including any change in any 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 reasonably prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower that it is not
capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Borrower shall not be obligated,
however, to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.8.4(a) (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.8.4(b)) to any Lender (including any entity to which any Lender sells,
assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Lender to comply with its
obligations under this Section 2.8.7.

2.9 Pro Rata Treatment.



2.9.1 Funding, Payments and Prepayments, Etc.Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) the funding of the Loan shall
be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares, and (b) each payment of principal and interest on the Loan shall be made or shared among the Lenders holding the Loan, pro rata according to their
respective Proportionate Shares.



2.9.2 Sharing of
Payments, Etc.If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) hereunder in excess of its ratable share of payments in accordance with Section 2.9.1, such Lender
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loan as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with
an amount equal to such other Lenders ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Lenders required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.



2.10 Change of Circumstances.



2.10.1 Inability to Determine Rates.If, on or before the first day
of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the
London interbank market, or (b) Lenders holding aggregate Proportionate Shares of 33-1/3% or more shall advise
Administrative Agent that (i) the rates of interest for such LIBOR Loan do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loan, or (ii) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market are not available to
such Lenders (as conclusively certified by each such Lender in good faith in writing to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain its LIBOR Loan, Administrative Agent shall
immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower. After the giving of any such notice and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Borrowers right to
request the conversion to, and the Lenders obligations to convert the Loan to, a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended. If the Loan is a LIBOR Loan at the commencement of any suspension, it shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest
Period for the Loan into a Base Rate Loan, unless such suspension has then ended.



2.10.2 Illegality.If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements



10



---

thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of
amendment, or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or Borrower with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but
if not having the force of law, being of the type with which a Lender customarily complies) of any Governmental Authority (a Change of Law) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, such
Lender shall immediately notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (a) Borrowers right to request the conversion to, and the Lenders obligations to make or convert the Loan to, a LIBOR
Loan shall be suspended for so long as such condition shall exist, and (b) Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, either (i) pursuant to Section 2.3, convert any then outstanding LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the current
Interest Period for the Loan, or (ii) immediately repay or convert (at Borrowers option) the LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan if such Lender shall notify Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain the Loan as a
LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.11.



2.10.3 Increased Costs.If, after the date of this Agreement, any
Change of Law:



(a) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty
or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any Lender on such a Loan (except for Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender); or



(b) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement (without duplication of any reserve requirement included within the applicable interest rate through the definition of Reserve Requirement) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in
or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any Lender for any LIBOR Loan; or



(c) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition directly related to any LIBOR Loan;



and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in or
maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then Borrower shall from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender
for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount, submitted by such
Lender to Borrower, shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.



2.10.4 Capital Requirements.If any Lender determines that (a) any Change of Law after the date of this Agreement increases the amount of capital
required or expected to be



11



---

maintained by such Lender, or the Lending Office of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a Capital
Adequacy Requirement), and (b) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loan or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into
account such Lenders or such Persons policies with respect to capital adequacy), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender or such Person, within 30 days after demand of Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Lender or such Person, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate of
such Lender or such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, delivered to Borrower by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender or such Person shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be
conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.



2.10.5 Notice; Participating Lenders Rights.Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10, as promptly as
practicable, and in no event later than 180 days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement obtained knowledge thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give Borrower notice within
such 180-day period and to make such determination during such periods shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation under this Section 2.10 with respect to any claim arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its
obligations under this Section 2.10 with respect to the time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. No Person purchasing from a Lender a participation in the Loan (as opposed to
an assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10.3 or Section 2.10.4 which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Loan in which such Person is
participating) which would then be payable to such Lender if such Lender had not sold a participation in that portion of the Loan.



2.11 Funding Losses. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan,
(b) fail to convert the Loan from a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, as applicable, in accordance with a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or
otherwise) after such notice has become irrevocable, (c) fail to continue a LIBOR Loan in accordance with a Confirmation of Interest Period Selection after such notice of confirmation has become irrevocable, or (d) fail to make any prepayment in
accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall, within 30 days after demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for all reasonable costs and losses incurred by such Lender (Liquidation
Costs) due to such payment, prepayment or failure. Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund the LIBOR Loan (other
than non receipt of the Applicable Margin). Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.11 shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made. Such a certificate
so delivered to Borrower shall, in the



12



---

absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such loss for purposes of this Agreement.



2.12 Alternate Office, Minimization of Costs.



2.12.1 Minimization of Costs.To the extent reasonably
possible, each Lender shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Loans and otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Lender under Sections 2.8.4, 2.10.3, 2.10.4 or 2.11, or to avoid
the unavailability of any Type of Loan under Section 2.10.2 so long as (in the case of the designation of an alternative Lending Office) such Lender, in its sole discretion, does not determine that such designation is disadvantageous to such Lender.



2.12.2 Replacement Rights.If and with respect to each
occasion that a Lender either makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.8.4, 2.10.3 or 2.10.4 or is unable for a period of three consecutive months to fund LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.10.2, or wrongfully fails to fund the Loan,
Borrower may, upon at least five Banking Days prior irrevocable written notice to each of such Lenders and Administrative Agent, in whole permanently replace the Loan of such Lender; provided that Borrower shall replace such Loan with
the Loan of a lender reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Such replacement Lender shall upon the effective date of replacement purchase the Obligations owed to such replaced Lender for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon and
for all purposes become a Lender hereunder. Such notice from Borrower shall specify an effective date for the replacement of such Lenders Loan, which date shall not be later than the 14thday after the day such notice is given. On the effective date of any replacement of a Lenders Loan and Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.12.2,
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender (a) any fees due to such Lender to the date of such replacement, (b) the principal of and accrued interest on the principal amount of the outstanding Loan held by such Lender
to the date of such replacement (such amount to be represented by the purchase of the Obligations of such replaced Lender by the replacing Lender and not as a prepayment of such Loan), and (c) the amount or amounts due to such Lender pursuant to
each of Sections 2.8.4, 2.10.3 or 2.10.4, as applicable, and any other amount then payable hereunder to such Lender. In addition, if the replacement Lender was not previously a Lender hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent
an administrative fee of $3,500. Borrower will remain liable to such replaced Lender for any Liquidation Costs that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of the purchase of such Lenders Loan (unless such Lender has defaulted on its
obligation to fund the Loan hereunder). Upon the effective date of the purchase of any Lenders Loan pursuant to this Section 2.12.2, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder. No such purchase of such Lenders Loan pursuant to this
Section 2.12.2 shall affect (i) any liability or obligation of Borrower or any other Lender to such terminated Lender, or any liability or obligation of such terminated Lender to Borrower or any other Lender, which accrued on or prior to the date of
such purchase, or (ii) such terminated Lenders rights hereunder in respect of any such liability or obligation.



2.12.3 Alternate Office.Any Lender may designate a Lending Office other than that set forth on Schedule 1 and may assign all of its interests
under the Credit Documents, and its Notes, to such Lending Office, provided that such designation and assignment do not at the



13



---

time of such designation and assignment increase the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Sections 2.8.4,
2.10.3 or 2.10.4, or make an interest rate option unavailable pursuant to Section 2.10.2.

5.14 Indemnification.



(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender, each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees, agents and servants (collectively, the Indemnitees) from and against and reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all penalties, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and
obligations, of any kind or nature whatsoever, that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the use by
Borrower of the proceeds hereof, or any related claim or investigation, litigation or proceeding, or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto, and will reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including all reasonable costs
and expenses of a single legal counsel, together with a single legal counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and all reasonable costs and expenses of multiple legal counsels to the extent necessary in the event that (i) the circumstances giving
rise to such indemnification create an ethical conflict for such single counsel, or (ii) the Indemnitees have inconsistent or conflicting defenses) incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or
threatened claim, investigation,



24



---

litigation or proceeding, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Borrower, or an
Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto (but not in respect of any claim or action brought by Borrower against any Indemnitee to enforce its rights hereunder or under any other Credit Document), and whether or not the transactions contemplated by
the Credit Documents are consummated (collectively, Subject Claims).



(b) The foregoing indemnities shall not apply with respect to an Indemnitee, to the extent any such claim, penalty, damage, loss, liability, obligation, cost, disbursement or expense incurred by or asserted or awarded
against such Indemnitee is found in a final, non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall continue to apply to other Indemnitees. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall not be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by an Indemnitee, including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings of such Indemnitee, other
than any such damages or losses imposed upon or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee by a third party.



(c) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of Borrower and its equity holders on the one hand and
such Indemnitee on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as well as the relative fault of Borrower and such Indemnitee with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant
equitable considerations.



(d) The provisions of this Section
5.14 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of Borrowers obligations hereunder, and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Lenders.



(e) In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify
Borrower of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, to participate in, and, to the extent that Borrower desires, to assume and control the defense
thereof. Such Indemnitee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any action, suit or proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the
defense of any such action, suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnitee or
a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and Borrower (unless such conflict of interest is waived in writing by the affected Indemnitees), and in such event (other than with respect to disputes between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee)
Borrower shall pay the reasonable expenses of such Indemnitee in such defense to the extent provided in Sections 5.14(a) and 5.14(b).



(f) Borrower shall promptly report to the relevant Indemnitee(s) on the status of such action, investigation, suit or proceeding the defense of which is
assumed by Borrower in



25



---

accordance with Section 5.14(e), as material developments shall occur and from time to time as requested by such
Indemnitee (but not more frequently than every 60 days). Borrower shall deliver to such Indemnitee a copy of each document filed or served on any party in such action, investigation, suit or proceeding, and each material document which Borrower
possesses relating to such action, investigation, suit or proceeding.



(g) Notwithstanding Borrowers rights hereunder to control certain actions, investigations, suits or proceedings, if any Indemnitee reasonably determines that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against such
Indemnitee is reasonably likely to have an imminent and material adverse effect on such Indemnitee or such Indemnitees interest in Borrower, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to compromise or settle such Subject Claim; provided that such
Indemnitee consults with and coordinates such compromise or settlement with Borrower (although no prior consent by Borrower to any such compromise or settlement shall be required); and provided further that with respect to any Indemnitee other than
a Lender, such right may be exercised only with the consent of the Lender or Lenders which such Indemnitee is affiliated with or engaged by. Any such compromise or settlement shall be binding upon Borrower for the purposes of this Section 5.14.
Notwithstanding Borrowers rights hereunder, Borrower shall not be entitled to settle any Subject Claim of an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee or a full release of such Indemnitee, in form and substance
satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Upon payment of any Subject Claim by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.14 or other similar indemnity provisions contained herein to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Borrower, without any further action, shall be
subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower and Borrowers insurance carrier, and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable
Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims.



(h) Any amounts
payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall be regularly payable within 30 days after Borrower receives an invoice for such amounts from any applicable Indemnitee, and if not paid within such 30-day period, shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.



(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, except as provided in Section 5.14(a) or 5.14(e), Borrower shall not, in connection with any one legal proceeding or claim, or separate but related proceedings or claims arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
in which the interests of the Indemnitees do not materially differ, be liable to the Indemnitees (or any of them) under any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.12 for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (which
firm shall be selected by the affected Indemnitees, or upon failure to so select, by Administrative Agent).



5.15 Further Assurances.From time to time, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, record, register, deliver and/or file, and cause the Subsidiary
Guarantors to do so, all such notices, statements, instruments and other documents, and take such other steps as may be necessary or advisable to render fully valid and enforceable under all applicable laws the rights, liens and priorities of the
Lenders with respect to all Collateral and other security from time to time furnished under the Credit Documents or intended to be so furnished, in each case in such



26



---

form and at such times as shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and pay all fees and expenses (including
attorneys fees) incident to compliance with this Section 5.15.



5.16 Federal Regulations.Borrower shall not use or allow any Subsidiary to use any part of the proceeds of the Loan to purchase or carry any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U) or to purchase, carry or
trade in any securities under such circumstances as to involve Borrower in a violation of Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in Regulation T.

7.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities.



7.1.1 Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any
other Credit Document, or be a trustee for any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any
Governmental Rule or exposes Administrative Agent to any liability. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by Borrower or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent, or any Lender under this Agreement, for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by Borrower, its respective Affiliates to perform their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.



7.1.2 Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form
satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (d) shall
not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Credit Document on the part of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
Borrower or any other Person, and (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case
may be.



30



---

7.2 Reliance.Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other
document (including any cable, telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be (except that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Governmental Rule). Administrative Agent shall in all cases (including when any action by Administrative Agent alone is authorized hereunder, if Administrative Agent elects in its
sole discretion to obtain instructions from the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be) be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of
the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the
Lenders.



7.3 Non-Reliance.Each Lender represents that
it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and decision
to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon 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
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each of Administrative Agent and any Lender shall not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or its Affiliates under this Agreement
or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or its Affiliates.



7.4 Defaults.Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default or Event of Default,
unless such default relates to the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or Administrative Agent has received a notice from a Lender or Borrower, referring to this
Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a notice of default. If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent
shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in Article VI or if not provided for in Article VI, as Administrative Agent shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.



31



---

7.5 Indemnification.Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to
indemnify Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Proportionate Share for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative
Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent
promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, the Credit Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification or
reimbursement of its expenses under this Section 7.5 if it would not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under Sections 5.14 and 8.4, respectively.



7.6 Successor Administrative Agent.Administrative Agent may resign hereunder at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower. Administrative Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder, under the other Credit Documents, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of
its duties hereunder, or under the other Credit Documents, and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Majority Lenders (excluding Administrative Agent from such vote and Administrative Agents Proportionate Share of the Loan from the
amounts used to determine the portion of the Loan necessary to constitute the required Proportionate Shares of the remaining Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint the successor
Administrative Agent hereunder with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Borrowers consent shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at such time hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agents giving of notice of resignation
or the Lenders removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the successor
Administrative Agent hereunder which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent only under the Credit Documents. After



32



---

any retiring Administrative Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.



7.7 Authorization.Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which
Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Credit Documents. Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Lenders to enter into
agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any Credit Document to which it is a party.



7.8 Administrative Agents Other Roles.With respect to the Loan made by it and any Notes issued to it,
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. The term Lender or Lenders shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or
any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.



7.9 Amendments; Waivers.Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.9, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or another Credit Document, the Majority Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the
Majority Lenders) and Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or Borrower hereunder or waiving
any Inchoate Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders:



(a) Modify Section 2.4, 2.7.1, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 7.1, 7.13, or 7.14; or



(b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Lenders or
Required Lenders; or



(c) Permit Borrower to assign its rights
under this Agreement; or



(d) Amend this Section 7.9 or amend
any defined term set forth herein, in any Credit Document or in Exhibit A, to the extent such amendment would have the effect of violating the effect of the provisions of this Section 7.9; or



(e) Release any collateral from a lien securing the Obligations of Borrower
hereunder or release any funds from any account otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof; or



(f) Extend the maturity of the Loan (including any extension of the Maturity Date) or any Notes or reduce the principal amount thereof; or



33



---

(g) Reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest due on the Loan or any Note; or



(h) Reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any fee or other
amount due or payable.



7.10 Withholding Tax.



7.10.1 If the forms or other documentation required by
Section 2.8.7 are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.



7.10.2 If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of
the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out of pocket expenses.
Borrower shall not be responsible for any amounts paid or required to be paid by a Lender under this Section 7.10.2.



7.10.3 If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participations in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, transferee
or participant shall comply with and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.8.7, 7.10.1 and 7.10.2 as though it were such Lender.



7.11 General Provisions as to Payments.Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of each payment of
principal and interest payable to the Lenders on the Loan and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and of any other amounts owing under the Loan. The payments made for the account of each Lender shall be
made, and distributed to it, for the account of (a) its domestic lending office in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its Base Rate Loan, (b) its domestic or foreign lending office, as each Lender may designate in writing to
Administrative Agent, in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its LIBOR Loan, and (c) its domestic lending office, or such other lending office as it may designate for the purpose from time to time, in the case of payments of fees
and other amounts payable hereunder. Each Lender shall have the right to alter its designated domestic lending office upon notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower.



7.12 Substitution of Lender.Should any Lender fail to fund the Loan in violation of its obligations under this
Agreement (a Non-Advancing Lender), Administrative Agent (a) may, in its sole discretion, fund the Loan on behalf of the Non-Advancing Lender, and (b) shall cooperate with Borrower or any other Lender to find another Person that
shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have



34



---

occurred and is continuing) and that shall be willing to assume the Non-Advancing Lenders obligations under this
Agreement (including the obligation to make the Loan which the Non-Advancing Lender failed to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made such Loan). Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, such
Person shall be substituted for the Non-Advancing Lender hereunder upon the payment by such Person of all interest and fees owed to the Non-Advancing Lender and execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an agreement acceptable to
Administrative Agent and Borrower by such Person assuming the Non-Advancing Lenders obligations under this Agreement, and all interest and fees which would otherwise have been payable to the Non-Advancing Lender shall thereafter be payable to
such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this Section 7.12 shall relieve the Non-Advancing Lender from any liability it might have to Borrower or to the other Lenders as a result of its failure to make any Loan.



7.13 Participations.Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Lender
from selling a participation in its Proportionate Share of the Loan; provided that (a) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Lenders or Borrowers obligations hereunder, and (b) any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may
grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Proportionate Share shall provide that, with respect to such Proportionate Share, subject to the following proviso, such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise the
rights of such Lender, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Proportionate Share, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document and the right
to take action to have the Notes declared due and payable pursuant to Article VI; provided, however, that such agreement may provide that the participant may have rights to approve or disapprove decreases in principal, interest rates or fees,
lengthening of maturity of the Loan, postponements of any due dates for payments hereunder. No recipient of a participation in any Proportionate Share of the Loan of any Lender shall have any rights under this Agreement or shall be entitled to any
reimbursement for taxes, other taxes, increased costs or reserve requirements under Section 2.10.3 or any other indemnity or payment rights against Borrower in excess of a proportionate amount which would have been payable to the Lender from whom
such Person acquired its participation.



7.14 Transfer of
Loans and Notes.Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Lender, after receiving Administrative Agents prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may, from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of
its Loan and Note, in the minimum amount of $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, to any Person which in such assigning Lenders good faith judgment is reasonably capable of performing the obligations of a Lender
hereunder and reasonably experienced in corporate financing, or to any commercial bank or financial institution; provided, however, that in the case of an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or Affiliate of a Lender, the prior
consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower shall not be required and the minimum assignment amount specified above shall not apply as long as the assigning Lender continues to hold a Loan of no less than $3,000,000 (all such figures based on the
original principal amount of the Loan). In the event of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 7.14, (a) the assigning Lenders Loan shall be reduced by the



35



---

amount assigned to the new Lender, (b) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement
evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, (c) the parties to the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, excluding Borrower, shall
collectively pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500, and (d) at the assigning Lenders option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new Lender Notes in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B, in a principal
amount equal to its Loan but only if it shall also be executing or exchanging with the assigning Lender a replacement Note for any Note in an amount equal to the Proportionate Share retained by the Lender, if any (provided that Borrower shall have
received for cancellation the existing Note held by the assigning Lender). Thereafter, such new Lender shall be deemed to be a Lender and shall have all of the rights and duties of a Lender (except as otherwise provided in this Article VII), in
accordance with its Proportionate Share, under each of the Credit Documents.



7.15 Laws.Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower
shall, from time to time at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further instruments as may in the reasonable
opinion of Administrative Agent be necessary or advisable on the part of Borrower to give full force and effect to such disposition.



7.16 Assignability as Collateral.Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, any
Lender may assign all or any portion of the Loan or Notes held by it as collateral security provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loan or Notes made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Loan or Notes to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations
hereunder.

All notices or other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by overnight delivery service (including Federal Express, ETA, Emery, DHL, AirBorne and
other similar overnight delivery services), (c) if mailed by first class United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or (d) if sent by facsimile. Notice so given shall be effective upon receipt by the
addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given on the day (if a Banking Day and, if not, on the next following Banking
Day) on which it is transmitted if transmitted before 4:00 p.m., recipients time, and if transmitted after that time, on the next following Banking Day; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an addressee and the

8.2 Additional Security; Right to Set-Off.Any deposits
or other sums at any time credited or due from the Lenders and any securities or other property of Borrower in the possession of Administrative Agent may at all times be treated as collateral security for the payment of the Loan and any Notes and
all other obligations of Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and grants Administrative Agent a security interest in and to



37



---

all such deposits, sums, securities or other property. Regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral, Administrative
Agent may execute or realize on the Lenders security interest in any such deposits or other sums credited by or due from the Lenders to Borrower, and may apply any such deposits or other sums to or set them off against Borrowers obligations to
the Lenders under any Notes and this Agreement at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.



8.3 Delay and Waiver.No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Inchoate Default or any breach or default of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Lenders, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or
an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single Event of Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other Event of Default, Inchoate
Default or other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders of any Event of Default, Inchoate Default or other breach
or default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any waiver on the part of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders of any provision or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, must be in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies, either under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or by law or otherwise afforded to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be cumulative and not
alternative.



8.4 Costs, Expenses and Attorneys Fees.Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent all of its reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, closing and administering of this Agreement and the documents contemplated hereby and any participation or
syndication of the Loan or this Agreement, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of a single legal counsel, together with a single legal counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction, retained by Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation of such documents and any amendments hereof. Borrower will reimburse (a) Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, expended or incurred by Administrative Agent, and
the Lenders for their reasonable internal out-of-pocket expenses (but not, in the case of the Lenders for attorneys fees) in enforcing this Agreement or the other Credit Documents in connection with an Event of Default or Inchoate Default, in
actions for declaratory relief in any way related to this Agreement or in collecting any sum which becomes due Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Notes or under the Credit Documents and (b) Administrative Agent and the Lenders for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, in the case of a restructuring or other workout of the Loan in connection with the bankruptcy or insolvency of Borrower or any payment default requiring, among other things,
amendments to the interest rates and/or repayment dates for the Loan. Borrower shall not be responsible for any counsel fees of Administrative Agent or the Lenders other than as set forth above.



8.5 Entire Agreement.This Agreement and any agreement, document or
instrument attached hereto or referred to herein integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings in respect to the subject



38

matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and any such
agreement, document or instrument, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.



8.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT REQUIRED HEREUNDER (TO THE EXTENT NOT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR THEREIN),
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED UNDER, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).



8.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

as a matter of convenience for reference only; such paragraph headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.



8.9 Accounting Terms.All accounting terms not specifically defined
herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and practices consistent with those applied in the preparation of the financial statements submitted by Borrower to Administrative Agent, and all financial data submitted pursuant to this Agreement
shall be prepared in accordance with such principles and practices.



8.10 No Partnership, Etc.The Lenders and Borrower intend that the relationship between them shall be solely that of creditor and debtor. Nothing contained in this Agreement, the Notes or in any of the other Credit Documents shall be
deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between the Lenders and Borrower or any other Person.

of their Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings, special or punitive damages or any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct
(whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any act or omission
or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.



8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE LENDERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR
ANY COURSE OR CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR



39

LENDERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.



8.13 Consent to Jurisdiction.The Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower agree that any legal action or proceeding by or against Borrower or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit
Document may be brought in or removed to the courts of the State of New York, in and for the County of New York, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, as Administrative Agent may elect. By execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower accept, for themselves and in respect of their property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower
irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any manner permitted by law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent to bring legal action or proceedings in any other competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, service of process shall not be deemed served or mailed to Administrative Agent or the Lenders until a copy of all matters to be served have been mailed to Latham & Watkins, 505 Montgomery Street,

Administrative Agent and Borrower further agree that the aforesaid courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any claim or counterclaim of Borrower based upon the assertion
that the rate of interest charged by the Lenders on or under this Agreement, the Loan and/or the other Credit Documents is usurious. The Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of forum non-conveniens.
