Re: Amendment to Loan and Guarantee Agreement 

Reference is made to the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020 (as 

amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Loan and Guarantee 

Agreement”), among MESA AIRLINES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the 

State of Nevada (the “Borrower”), MESA AIR GROUP, INC., a corporation organized under 

the laws of Nevada (the “Parent”), the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the United 

States Department of the Treasury (the “Initial Lender”), and The Bank of New York Mellon 

as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Agents”) (collectively, the “Parties”). 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan 

and Guarantee Agreement. 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Subsection 2.09(a) of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, 

the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the 

Applicable Rate; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Subsection 2.02(c) of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, 

the principal amount of the Loan shall also be increased on each Interest Payment Date by the 

PIK Interest Amount with respect to such Interest Payment Date, unless the Borrower pays 

such PIK Interest Amount in cash pursuant to an election made in accordance with Section 

2.09(e) of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Subsection 1.01 of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, the 

PIK Interest Rate does not apply with respect to any Interest Period ending after the first 

anniversary of the date of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement; 

WHEREAS, due to an administrative oversight, for the Interest Payment Dates 

December 15, 2021, and March 15, 2022, the principal amount of the Loan was increased by 

an amount equal to all accrued interest with respect to the relevant Interest Period, and the 

Borrower paid no accrued interest in cash for such Interest Payment Dates; and 

WHEREAS, on November 14, 2022, the Administrative Agent notified the Borrower

of the aforementioned administrative oversight; and 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested an amendment to the Loan and Guarantee 

Agreement to confirm and ratify prior interest payments paid by the Borrower, in the form of 

increases in the principal amount of the Loan, on the Interest Payment Dates of December 15, 

2021, and March 15, 2022, and the Initial Lender agrees to amend the Loan and Guarantee 

Agreement as set forth herein.
2 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and 

other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby 

acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Effective as of the date hereof, Section 1.01 of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement is 

hereby amended by striking the definition of “PIK Interest Rate” in its entirety and replacing 

it with the following: 

“PIK Interest Rate” means in respect of any Interest Period ending on or prior 

to March 15, 2022, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

2. This letter agreement shall be limited as written and nothing herein shall be deemed to 

constitute an amendment or waiver of any other term, provision or condition of the Loan and 

Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any other instance than as 

expressly set forth herein or prejudice any right or remedy that any Lender, the 

Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may now have or may in the future have under 

the Loan and Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance 

of doubt, this letter agreement is hereby deemed to be a Loan Document under the Loan and 

Guarantee Agreement. Except as herein provided, the Loan and Guarantee Agreement and 

the other Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This letter 

agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement or any other 

Loan Documents. 

3. The Agents assume no responsibility for, and shall be entitled to rely on, without any 

obligation to ascertain or investigate, the correctness of the recitals and statements contained 

herein. The Agents shall not be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever for, or in 

respect of, the validity or sufficiency of the amendments contained in this letter agreement.

4. Sections 11.06(b) (Electronic Execution), 11.09 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.) 

and 11.10 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Loan and Guarantee Agreement shall apply mutatis 

mutandis to this letter agreement as if set out herein.

5. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto 

in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when 

taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a 

signature page of this letter agreement in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be 

effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this letter agreement. 

The Lenders party hereto hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent and the 

Collateral Agent to acknowledge this letter agreement.

practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent (after consultation with the 

Required Lenders) determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark 

Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent (after 

consultation with the Required Lenders) decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the

provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark 

modified for any 

Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if 

a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or 

information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) used by the Administrative 

Agent or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be 

representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the definiti

removed tenor. 

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, 

all calculations of interest by reference to a LIBO Rate hereunder shall instead be made by reference to 

the Alternate Base Rate. 

SECTION 2.11 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Maintenance of Records. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register 

in accordance with Section 11.04(c). The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this 

paragraph (a) shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the 

obligations recorded therein. Any failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or make 

any entry therein or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower under 

this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
37 

#93703773v15 

(b) Promissory Notes. For each Loan, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and 

deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such 

Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, which shall 

SECTION 2.12 Payments Generally. 

(a) Payments by Borrower. All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and 

the other Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, 

recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to 

the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, to 

the Administrative Account in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (New York City 

time) on the date specified herein. All amounts received by a Lender or the Administrative Agent after 

such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and 

any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent will promptly 

distribute to each Lender its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment 

distribute such payment in like funds as received to the Person or Persons entitled thereto as provided 

herein). If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, 

payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected 

in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such next succeeding Business Day 

would fall after the Maturity Date, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder or under any other Loan 

Document shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time 

insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to pay fully all 

amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied 

(i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled 

thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and 

(ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance 

with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c) Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall 

have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the 

Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such 

payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date 

in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, 

distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such 

payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on 

demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including 

the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 

at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in 

accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 

Administrative Agent is not required to make any payment to the Lenders until it is in possession of 

cleared funds from the Borrower. 

(d) Deductions by Administrative Agent. If any Lender (other than the Initial 

Lender) shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.13 or 11.03(c), 

then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, 

(i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for 
38 

#93703773v15 

the be

until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account 

as cash collateral for, and for application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such 

Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative 

Agent in its discretion. 

(e) Several Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to 

make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of 

any Lender to make any Loan or to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not 

relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be 

responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under 

Section 11.03(c). 

SECTION 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of 

setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its 

Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the 

aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro 

rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the 

Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and 

such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that 

the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate 

amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; 

provided that: 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the 

payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase 

price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any 

payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this 

Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or 

sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the 

Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under 

Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may 

exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully 

as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.14 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any 

principal of the Loans other than on the last day of an Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of 

Default), (b) the failure to borrow or prepay the Loans (or any portion thereof) on the date specified in 

any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) the assignment of the Loans (or any portion thereof) other 

than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower 

pursuant to Section 2.19(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the 

loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be 

deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of 

interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the 

Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such 

event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for 

the date that would have been the applicable Interest Period), over (ii) the amount of interest that would 
39 

#93703773v15 

accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to 

bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from 

other banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any 

amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the 

Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount 

shown as due on any such certificate promptly after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, 

compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for 

the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve 

requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, 

(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and 

(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or 

other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other 

condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such 

Lender; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient 

of making or maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such 

Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon 

request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the 

case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as 

the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the 

amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as 

specified in paragraph (a) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent 

manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate 

within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand 

compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this 

Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date 

that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or 

n therefor (except that, if the Change in 

Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to 

above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
40 

#93703773v15 

SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For 

includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any 

obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for 

any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith 

discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from 

any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to 

make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the 

relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified 

Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or 

withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums 

payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have 

received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, 

absent a Change in Law, the Borrower is not required to withhold or deduct from any such payments to 

the Initial Lender on account of any U.S. federal withholding taxes or Taxes imposed pursuant to 

FATCA. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the 

relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Initial 

Lender, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any 

Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, 

within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including 

Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable 

or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and 

any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes 

were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to 

the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the 

Administrative Agent if such Lender is not the Initial Lender), or by the Administrative Agent on its own 

behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender (other than the Initial Lender) shall 

severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any 

Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already 

indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of 

the Borrower to do so), (ii) 

of Section 11.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes 

attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in 

connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect 

thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant 

Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any such 

Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than 

the Initial Lender) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at 

any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative 

Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under 

this paragraph (e). 
41 

#93703773v15 

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the 

Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the 

Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority 

evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment 

reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) that is entitled 

to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan 

Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably 

requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed 

documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower (or, if such Lender is not the Initial Lender, the 

Administrative Agent) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate 

of withholding. In addition, any Lender (other than the Initial Lender), if reasonably requested by the 

Borrower (or the Administrative Agent), shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable 

Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower (or the Administrative Agent) as will enable the Borrower 

(or the Administrative Agent) to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding 

or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two 

sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such 

documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if 

Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or 

commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) that is a U.S. Person 

shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which 

such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter 

upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed 

copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup 

withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do 

so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as 

shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender 

becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the 

reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the 

following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of 

an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to 

payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS 

Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or 

reduction of, U.S. 

such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any 

Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an 

exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor 

forms) and, in the case of an Agent, a withholding certificate that satisfies the 
42 

#93703773v15 

requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.1441-

1(e)(3)(v) as applicable to a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. 

Person for withholding tax purposes;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of 

the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a 

certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign 

 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a 

Section 

the Borrower as described in Section U.S. Tax 

Compliance Certificate executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS 

Form W-8BEN-E; or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial 

owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS 

Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax 

Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, 

IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, 

as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or 

more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio 

interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance 

Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct 

and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do 

so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as 

shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender 

becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the 

reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any 

other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a 

reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such 

supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the 

Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction 

required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender (other than the Initial Lender) 

under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by 

FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements 

of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as 

applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at 

the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 

Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law 

(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional 

documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may 

be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their 

obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such 

igations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and 

withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D) hall 

include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
43 

#93703773v15 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or 

becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify 

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding 

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Initial Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of this 

Section 2.16 and all related provisions under this Agreement without regard to whether it provides any 

documentation described in this Section 2.16(g). 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion 

exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified 

pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall 

pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity 

payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-ofpocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest 

paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, 

upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over 

pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant 

Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such 

Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will 

the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this 

paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax 

position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving 

rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification 

payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not 

be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information 

relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival

resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement 

of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all 

obligations under any Loan Document. 

SECTION 2.17 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.18 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation 

under Section 2.15, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any 

Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such 

Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office 

for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of 

its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment 

(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the 

future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not 

otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs 

and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under 

Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any 

Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in 
44 

#93703773v15 

each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with 

paragraph (a) of this Section, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its 

sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to 

assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and 

consents required by, Section 11.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments 

pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan 

Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another 

Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment 

fee (if any) specified in Section 11.04; 

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the 

outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts 

payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under 

Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest 

and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for 

compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such 

assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and 

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a NonConsenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, 

waiver or consent. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior 

thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to 

require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE VIII 

AGENCY 

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably 

appoints The Bank of New York Mellon to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and as the 

Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agents to take such 

actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan 

Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto; 

provided that notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII or this Agreement to the contrary, the terms 

and conditions of the relationship between the Initial Lender and the Agents shall be governed by a 

separate agreement between the Initial Lender and the Agents. The Borrower and the Guarantors 

acknowledge and agree that the Agents are Agents of the Lenders and not of the Borrower or the 

Guarantors. In connection with an assignment of the Loans by the Initial Lender, upon the Administrative 

request, the Borrower and the Agents shall enter into an Administrative Agency Fee Letter. The 

provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall 

not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Without limiting the generality of 

the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including 

releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as 

contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 
72 

#93703773v15 

and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity 

as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be 

binding upon each Lender. 

SECTION 8.02 Collateral Matters. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints 

and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding 

and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the 

Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enter 

into and perform the other Loan Documents. 

SECTION 8.03 Removal or Resignation of Administrative Agent. While the Initial 

Lender is a Lender, the Administrative Agent may be removed or give notice of its resignation subject to 

any conditions as separately agreed between the Initial Lender and the Administrative Agent. Any such 

resignation as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall also constitute its resignation as 

the Collateral Agent; provided that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on 

behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall 

continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. 

Upon such removal or receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Initial Lender shall have the right to 

appoint a successor. After the Initial Lender is no longer a Lender, either Agent may resign at any time 

by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower in writing, and either Agent may be removed at any time with 

or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and 

such Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required 

Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during 

the continuance of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so 

appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be 

required during the continuance of an Event of Default)) and shall have accepted such appointment within 

30 days after (i) the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or (ii) the Required Lenders deliver 

removal instructions, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders (with the consent 

of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default)), 

appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate 

of any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding 

l become effective and the Required Lenders shall 

thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until 

such time, if any, as the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be 

required during the continuance of an Event of Default)) appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or 

Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a 

successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and 

duties of its predecessor Agent, and its predecessor Agent shall be discharged from its duties and 

obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those 

payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an 

Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for 

the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any 

actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent. 

SECTION 8.04 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set 

forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or as separately agreed between the Initial Lender and the 

Agents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the 

foregoing: 
73 

#93703773v15 

(i) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, 

regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, except that The Bank of New 

York Mellon shall always have a fiduciary duty to Treasury while serving as its Agent in 

accordance with the provisions of the separate writing between The Bank of New York Mellon 

and Treasury; 

(ii) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or 

exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated 

hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in 

writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be 

expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); and 

(iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, 

neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any 

information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or 

obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its 

Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) Neither Agent shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise 

incur liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in 

the exercise of any of its rights or powers. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the 

contrary, prior to taking any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Agent shall 

be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses in 

connection with taking such action. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 

with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the 

Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Sections 7.01 and 11.02) or in the 

absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final non-appealable 

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action nor any omission 

to act, taken by either Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage 

of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) shall constitute 

gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default 

unless and until written notice thereof, consp

describing such Default, is given to an Agent Responsible Officer by the Borrower or a Lender. 

(c) Neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire 

into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any 

other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or 

thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the 

covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any 

Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan 

Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set

Agreement. Each Lender (other than the Initial Lender) also acknowledges that it will, independently and 

without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and 

based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to 

make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan 

Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

SECTION 8.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the

Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered

Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the 

claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(f) this Guarantee and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be legal,

Parties; (ix) any action permitted or authorized hereunder; (x) any other circumstance, or any existence of 

or reliance on any representation by the Agents, any Secured Party or any other Person, that might

other guarantor or surety; and (xi) any other event or circumstance that might in any manner vary the risk 

of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept 

an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure or exercise any other right or remedy available to 

them against the Borrower or any other Credit Party without affecting or impairing in any way the 

liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in 

full. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Credit Party waives any defense arising out 

of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to 

extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Credit Party 

against the Borrower or any other Credit Party, as the case may be, or any security. 
78 

#93703773v15

Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or

indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been

Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender 

different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The 

rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
