where the result of such loan, advance, or credit is an OverLoan. 
  
 (b) The Revolving Credit Lenders’ obligations, among themselves, are subject to Section 13.3(a) (which relates to each Revolving Credit Lender’s making amounts available to the Administrative Agent) and to Section 16.3(a) (which
relates to Protective OverAdvances). 
  
 (c) The Revolving Credit
Lenders’ providing of an OverLoan on any one occasion does not affect the obligations of each Borrower hereunder (including each Borrower’s obligation to immediately repay any amount which otherwise constitutes an OverLoan) nor obligate

Customer Credit Liability will change based on the aggregate of Customer Credit Liability at any one time); and

the making of loans, credits, and advances and the providing of financial accommodations under the Revolving Credit and/or the monitoring of compliance with the provisions hereof shall not be deemed a determination by the Administrative Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender relative to the actual value of the asset in question. All risks concerning the value of the Collateral are and remain upon the Borrowers. All Collateral secures the prompt, punctual, and faithful performance of the

 (c) All credits against the Liabilities shall be conditional upon final payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender of the items
giving rise to such credits. The amount of any item credited against the Liabilities which is charged back against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any reason or is not so paid shall be a Liability and, if arising under the Revolving
Credit, shall be added to the Loan Account, whether or not the item so charged back or not so paid is returned. 
  
 (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, service charges, costs, and expenses for which any Borrower is obligated hereunder are payable on
demand. In the determination of Availability, the Administrative Agent may deem fees, service charges, accrued interest, and other payments which will be due and payable between the date of such determination and the first day of the then next
succeeding month as having been advanced under the Revolving Credit whether or not such amounts are then due and payable.

charge, or other payment to which any Agent or any Lender is entitled from any Borrower pursuant hereto and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an OverLoan may result thereby. Such action on the part of the Administrative
Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and each Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.11(b). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.9(e) shall
bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Base Margin Loans.

the Borrowers’ Representative concerning the Liabilities shall be considered correct and accepted by each Borrower and shall be conclusively binding upon each Borrower unless the Borrowers’ Representative provides the Administrative Agent
with written objection thereto within thirty (30) days from the mailing of such statement, which written objection shall indicate, with particularity, the reason for such objection. In the absence of manifest error, the Loan Account and the
Administrative Agent’s books and records concerning the loan arrangement contemplated herein and the Liabilities shall be prima facie evidence and proof of the items described therein.

Note”) in the form of EXHIBIT 2.10, annexed hereto, executed by each Borrower, one payable to each Revolving Credit Lender. Neither the original nor a copy of any Revolving Credit Note shall be required, however, to establish
or prove any Liability. Upon the Borrowers’ Representative’s being provided with an affidavit, from the Administrative Agent to the effect that any Revolving Credit Note has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute a
replacement thereof and deliver such replacement to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 2.11. PAYMENT OF THE LOAN ACCOUNT. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers may repay all or any portion of the principal balance of the Loan Account from time to time until the Termination Date. Unless
the Borrowers’ Representative otherwise advises the Administrative Agent, such payments shall be applied first to Base Margin Loans and only then to Libor Loans. 
  
 (b) The Borrowers, without notice or demand from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, shall pay
the Administrative Agent that amount, from time to time, which is necessary so that there is no OverLoan outstanding. 
  
 (c) The Borrowers shall repay the then entire unpaid balance of the Loan Account and all other Liabilities on the Termination Date. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall endeavor to cause the application of
payments (if any), pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) against Libor Loans then outstanding in such manner as results in the least cost to the Borrowers, but shall not have any affirmative obligation to do so nor liability on account of the
Administrative Agent’s failure to have done so. In no event shall action or inaction taken by the Administrative Agent excuse any Borrower from any indemnification obligation under Section 2.11(e). 
  
 (e) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Revolving
Credit Lender and hold the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits and amounts payable by the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit
Lender on account of “breakage fees” (so-called)) which the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender 
  

 -45- 








 may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, by virtue of acceleration after the occurrence of any Event of
Default) as a consequence of the following: 
  
 (i) Default by any Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any Libor Loan as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Revolving Credit Lender in
order to maintain its Libor Loans. 
  
 (ii)
Default by any Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrowers’ Representative has given (or is deemed to have given) a request for a Revolving Credit Loan or a request to convert a Revolving Credit Loan from one applicable
interest rate to another. 
  
 (iii) The making of
any payment on a Libor Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Margin Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. 
  
 2.12. INTEREST ON REVOLVING
CREDIT LOANS. 
  
 (a) Each
Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Base Margin Rate unless timely notice is given (as provided in Section 2.6) that the subject Revolving Credit Loan (or a portion thereof) is, or is to be converted to, a Libor Loan. 
  
 (b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of a Libor Loan shall bear
interest at the applicable Libor Rate. 
  
 (c) Subject to, and in
accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers’ Representative may cause all or a part of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account to bear interest at the Base Margin Rate or the Libor Rate as specified from time to
time by notice to the Administrative Agent. For ease of reference and administration, each part of the Loan Account which bears interest at the same interest and for the same Interest Period is referred to herein as if it were a separate
“Revolving Credit Loan”. 
  
 (d) The Borrowers’
Representative shall not select, renew, or convert any interest rate for a Revolving Credit Loan such that, in addition to interest at the Base Margin Rate, there are more than seven (7) Libor Rates applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans at any
one time. 
  
 (e) The Borrowers shall pay accrued and unpaid
interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears as follows: 
  
 (i) On the applicable Interest Payment Date for that Revolving Credit Loan. 
  
 (ii) On the Termination Date and on the End Date. 
  


 -46- 








 (iii) Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, with such frequency as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (f) Following the
occurrence of any Event of Default (and whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises the Administrative Agent’s rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest, at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the
instruction of the SuperMajority Revolving Credit Lenders, at a rate which is the aggregate of the rate applicable to Base Margin Loans plus three percent (3%) per annum. 
  
 2.13. REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT
FEE. In consideration of the commitment to make loans and advances to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit, and to maintain sufficient funds available for such purpose, there has been earned by FRG
and the Borrowers shall pay the “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee” (so referred to herein) to the Administrative Agent in the amount and payable as provided in the Fee Letter. 
  
 2.14. ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT’S FEE. In addition to any other fee or expense to be paid by the Borrowers on account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent
the “Administrative Agent’s Fee” at the times and in the amounts as set forth in the Fee Letter. 
  
 2.15. UNUSED LINE FEE. In addition to any other fee to be paid by the Borrowers on
account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent the “Unused Line Fee” (so referred to herein) of (i) 0.25% per annum for any quarter during which average Excess Availability is greater than
$20,000,000.000 or (ii) 0.375% per annum for any quarter during which average Excess Availability is less than or equal to $20,000,000.00 of the average difference, during the quarter just ended (or relevant period with respect to the payment being
made on the Termination Date) between the Revolving Credit Ceiling and the aggregate of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account and the undrawn Stated Amount of L/C’s outstanding during the relevant period. The Unused Line Fee shall be
paid in arrears, on the first day of each quarter after the execution of this Agreement and on the Termination Date. 
  
 2.16. REVOLVING CREDIT EARLY TERMINATION FEE. 
  
 (a) In the event that the Termination Date occurs, for any reason (whether
by virtue of Acceleration or otherwise), prior to the date one year prior to the Maturity Date, then except as provided in Section 2.16(b), the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the Pro-Rata account of the Revolving Credit Lenders,
the “Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee” (so referred to herein) consisting of (i) one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the Revolving Credit Ceiling in effect as of the date of this Agreement if the Termination Date shall occur at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (i) one percent (1%) of the Revolving
Credit Ceiling in effect as of the date of this Agreement if the Termination Date shall occur at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to one year prior to the Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) No Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable in the
event of the early termination of the Revolving Credit in connection with a refinancing of the 
  

 -47- 








 Revolving Credit which is agented or provided by FRG or any Affiliate of FRG, it being understood that neither FRG
nor any affiliate of FRG has agreed to provide any such refinancing. 
  
 2.17. AGENTS’ AND LENDERS’ DISCRETION. 
  
 (a) Each reference in the Loan Documents to the exercise of discretion, reasonable discretion, or the like by any Agent or any Lender shall be to such
Person’s reasonable exercise of its judgment, in good faith (which shall be rebuttably presumed), based upon such Person’s consideration of any such factors as that Agent or that Lender, taking into account information of which that Person
then has actual knowledge, reasonably believes: 
  
 (i) Will or reasonably could be expected to affect, in more than a de minimis manner, the value of the Collateral, the enforceability of the Collateral Agent’s Collateral Interests therein, or the amount which the Collateral
Agent would likely realize therefrom (taking into account delays which may possibly be encountered in the Collateral Agent’s realizing upon the Collateral and likely Costs of Collection). 
  
 (ii) Indicates that any report or financial information
delivered to any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party is incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading in any material manner or was not prepared in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. 
  
 (iii) That a Default has occurred and is continuing.

  
 (b) In the exercise of such judgment, each Agent or each
Lender reasonably also may take into account any of the following factors: 
  
 (i) Those included in, or tested by, the definitions of “Eligible Accounts” and “Eligible Inventory”. 
  
 (ii) The current financial and business climate of the industry in which each Loan Party competes (having regard for that Loan
Party’s position in that industry). 
  
 (iii) General macroeconomic conditions which have a material effect on the Loan Parties’ cost structure. 
  
 (iv) Material changes in or to the mix of the Borrowers’ Inventory. 
  
 (v) Seasonality with respect to the Borrowers’ Inventory and patterns of retail sales. 
  
 (vi) Such other factors as each Agent and each Lender
reasonably determine as having a material bearing on credit risks associated with the providing of loans and financial accommodations to the Borrowers. 
  

 -48- 








 (c) The burden of establishing the failure of any Agent or any Lender to have acted in a reasonable
manner in such Person’s exercise of such discretion shall be the Loan Parties’ and may be made only by clear and convincing evidence. 
  
 2.18. PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE OF L/C’s. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers’ Representative may request that the Administrative
Agent cause the issuance by the Issuer of L/C’s for the account of a Borrower. Each such request shall be in such manner as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent will endeavor to cause the issuance of any L/C
so requested by the Borrowers’ Representative, provided that, at the time that the request is made, the Revolving Credit has not been suspended as provided in Section 2.6(g) and if so issued: 
  
 (i) The aggregate Stated Amount of all L/C’s then
outstanding, does not exceed $20,000,000. 
  
 (ii) The expiry of the L/C is not later than the earlier of thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date or the following: 
  

	 	(A)	Standby’s: One (1) year from initial issuance. 

  

	 	(B)	Documentaries: one hundred (100) days from issuance. 

  
 (iii) If the expiry of an L/C is later than the Maturity Date, it is 103% cash collateralized at its issuance. 
  
 (iv) An OverLoan will not result from the issuance of the
subject L/C. 
  
 (c) Each Borrower shall execute such
documentation to apply for and support the issuance of an L/C as may be required by the Issuer. 
  
 (d) There shall not be any recourse to, nor liability of, any Agent or any Lender on account of 
  
 (i) Any delay or refusal by an Issuer to issue an L/C;

  
 (ii) Any action or inaction of an Issuer on
account of or in respect to, any L/C except where there is a specific finding in a judicial proceeding (in which the Administrative Agent has had an opportunity to be heard), from which finding no further appeal is available, that the subject action
or omission to act had been in actual bad faith or grossly negligent or constituted willful misconduct. 
  
 (e) The Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of any honoring of a drawing under an L/C on the same day on which such honoring takes place.
The 
  

 -49- 








 Administrative Agent, without the request of any Borrower, may advance under the Revolving Credit (and charge to the Loan
Account) the amount of any honoring of any L/C and other amount for which any Borrower, the Issuer, or the Revolving Credit Lenders become obligated on account of, or in respect to, any L/C. Such advance shall be made whether or not any Default has
occurred and is continuing or such advance would result in an OverLoan. Such action shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights under Section 2.11(b) hereof. 
  
 2.19. FEES FOR L/C’s. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the following per
annum fees on account of L/C’s, the issuance of which had been procured by the Administrative Agent monthly in arrears, and on the Termination Date and on the End Date based on the weighted average Stated Amount of L/C’s outstanding during
the period in respect of which such fee is being paid except that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (and whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises the Administrative Agent’s rights on
account thereof), such fees, at the option of the Administrative Agent or the direction of the SuperMajority Revolving Credit Lenders, shall be the respective aggregate of those set forth below plus three percent (3%) per annum. 

 
 (i) Documentaries: The Libor Margin then in effect
minus 50 basis points. 
  
 (ii) Standbys:
The Libor Margin then in effect. 
  
 (b) In addition to the fee to
be paid as provided in Subsection 2.19(a) above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuer, if so requested by Administrative Agent), on demand, all customary issuance, processing, negotiation, amendment, and
administrative fees and other amounts charged by the Issuer on account of, or in respect to, any L/C. 
  
 (c) If any change in Applicable Law shall either: 
  
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against letters of credit heretofore or
hereafter issued by any Issuer or with respect to which any Revolving Credit Lender or any Issuer has an obligation to lend to fund drawings under any L/C; or 
  

(ii) impose on any Issuer any other condition or requirements relating to any such letters of credit; 
  
 and the result of any event referred to in Section 2.19(c)(i) or 2.19(c)(ii), above, shall be
to increase the cost to any Revolving Credit Lender or to any Issuer of issuing or maintaining any L/C (which increase in cost shall be the result of such Issuer’s reasonable allocation among that Revolving Credit Lender’s or Issuer’s
letter of credit customers of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers’ Representative of a certificate of an
officer of the subject Revolving Credit Lender or the subject Issuer describing such change in 
  

 -50- 








 law, executive order, regulation, directive, or interpretation thereof, its effect on such Revolving Credit Lender or
such Issuer, and the basis for determining such increased costs and their allocation, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, from time to time as specified by the Administrative Agent, such amounts as shall be sufficient to
compensate the subject Revolving Credit Lender or the subject Issuer for such increased cost. In the absence of manifest error, any Revolving Credit Lender’s or any Issuer’s determination of costs incurred under Sections 2.19(c)(i) or
2.19(c)(ii), above, and the allocation, if any, of such costs among the Borrowers and other letter of credit customers of such Revolving Credit Lender or such Issuer, if done in good faith and made on an equitable basis and in accordance with such
officer’s certificate, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. 
  
 2.20. CONCERNING L/CS. 
  
 (a) None of the Issuer, the Issuer’s correspondents, any Lender, any Agent, or any advising, negotiating, or paying bank with respect to any L/C shall be responsible in any way for: 
  
 (i) The performance by any beneficiary under any L/C of that
beneficiary’s obligations to any Borrower. 
  
 (ii) The form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, authority of any person signing; falsification; or the legal effect of; any documents called for under any L/C if (with respect to the foregoing) such documents on their face appear to
be in order. 
  
 (b) The Issuer may honor, as complying with the
terms of any L/C and of any drawing thereunder, any drafts or other documents otherwise in order, but signed or issued by an administrator, executor, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver, or other legal representative of the party authorized under such L/C to draw or issue such drafts or other documents. 
  
 (c) Unless otherwise agreed to, in the particular instance, each Borrower hereby authorizes any Issuer to: 
  
 (i) Select an advising bank, if any. 
  
 (ii) Select a paying bank, if any. 
  
 (iii) Select a negotiating bank, if any. 
  
 (d) All directions, correspondence, and funds transfers relating to any L/C
are at the risk of the Borrowers. The Issuer shall have discharged the Issuer’s obligations under any L/C which, or the drawing under which, includes payment instructions, by the initiation of the method of payment called for in, and in
accordance with, such instructions (or by any other commercially reasonable and comparable method). None of the Agent, the Lenders, or the Issuer shall have any responsibility for any inaccuracy, interruption, error, or delay in transmission or
delivery by post, telegraph or cable, or for any inaccuracy of translation. 
  

 -51- 








 (e) Each Agent’s, each Lender’s and the Issuer’s rights, powers, privileges and immunities
specified in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any heretofore or at any time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by statute or rule of law or contract. 
  
 (f) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided hereunder or agreed to in writing by the Issuer and the
Borrowers’ Representative, documentary L/C’s will be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 500, and standby L/C’s will be governed by International
Standby Practices ISP98 (adopted by the International Chamber of Commerce on April 6, 1998) and any respective subsequent revisions thereof. 
  
 (g) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to L/C’s are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances, whatsoever including, without limitation, the following: 
  
 (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability or restriction, restraint, or stay in the enforcement of this Agreement, any L/C, or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto. 
  
 (ii) Any Borrower’s consent to any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from, any L/C. 
  
 (iii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary of any
L/C. 
  
 (iv) Any good faith honoring of a
drawing under any L/C, which drawing possibly could have been dishonored based upon a strict construction of the terms of the L/C. 
  
 (h) Each Issuer shall be deemed to have agreed as follows: 
  
 (i) That any action taken or omitted by that Issuer, that Issuer’s correspondents, or any advising, negotiating or paying bank with
respect to any L/C and the related drafts and documents, shall be done in good faith and in compliance with foreign or domestic laws. 
  
 (ii) That the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify the Issuer, the Issuer’s correspondents, or any advising, negotiating or
paying bank with respect to any L/C for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer, the Issuer’s correspondents, or any advising, negotiating
or paying bank with respect to any L/C in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) the Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation
to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 -52- 








 2.21. CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent may advise the Borrowers’ Representative
(in reasonable detail as to the facts and circumstances thereof) that the Administrative Agent has made the good faith determination (which determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be final and conclusive) of any of the following:

  
 (i) Adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the rate for Libor Loans . 
  
 (ii)
The continuation of or conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan to a Libor Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by the occurrence of a contingency that materially and adversely affects the applicable market or the compliance by the
Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law. 
  
 (iii) The indices on which the interest rates for Libor Loans are based shall no longer represent the effective cost to the Administrative
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender for U.S. dollar deposits in the interbank market for deposits in which it regularly participates. 
  
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent advises the Borrowers’ Representative of an occurrence described in Section 2.21(a), then, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers’ Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply: 
  
 (i) The obligation of the Agent or each Revolving Credit Lender to make loans of the type affected by such changed circumstances or to
permit the Borrowers’ Representative to select the affected interest rate as otherwise applicable to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be suspended. 
  
 (ii) Any notice which the Borrowers’ Representative had given the Administrative Agent with respect to any Libor Loan, the time for
action with respect to which has not occurred prior to the Administrative Agent’s having given notice pursuant to Section 2.21(a), shall be deemed at the option of the Administrative Agent to not having been given. 
  
 2.22. DESIGNATION OF
BORROWERS’ REPRESENTATIVE AS BORROWERS’ AGENT. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrowers’ Representative as that Borrower’s agent to obtain loans and advances
under the Revolving Credit, and Tranche B Loan, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for those uses set forth in this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Agents and each
Lender on account of loans and advances so made as if made directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such loans and advances are recorded on the books and records of the Borrowers’ Representative and of any
Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrowers’ Representative as that Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. 
  

 -53- 








 (b) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it under the Revolving Credit and the Tranche B
Loan is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower
hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Liabilities of each of the other Borrowers as if the Borrower which is so assuming and agreeing was each of the other Borrowers. 
  
 (c) The Borrowers’ Representative shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a
“Borrower”) on whose behalf the Borrowers’ Representative has requested a Revolving Credit Loan or Tranche B Loan. 
  
 (d) The proceeds of each loan and advance provided under the Revolving Credit which is requested by the Borrowers’ Representative shall be deposited
into the Operating Account or as otherwise indicated by the Borrowers’ Representative. The Borrowers’ Representative shall cause the transfer of the proceeds thereof to the (those) Borrower(s) on whose behalf such loan and advance was
obtained. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds. 
  
 2.23. LENDERS’ COMMITMENTS. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 17.1 (which provides for assignments and assumptions of commitments) and Section 2.24 (which provides
for the increase of commitments), each Revolving Credit Lender’s “Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment”, and “Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment” (respectively so referred to herein) is set forth on
EXHIBIT 2.23, annexed hereto. 
  
 (b) The obligations of
each Revolving Credit Lender are several and not joint. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit in excess of either of the following: 
  
 (i) That Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Percentage Commitment of the subject loan or advance or of Availability. 
  
 (ii) that Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment. 
  
 (c) No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to the Borrowers on account of the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to provide any
loan or advance under the Revolving Credit nor any obligation to make up any shortfall which may be created by such failure. 
  
 (d) The Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments, Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and identities of the Revolving Credit Lenders (but not the
Revolving Credit Ceiling) may be changed, from time to time by the reallocation or assignment of 
  

 -54- 








 Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages amongst the Revolving Credit Lenders or
with other Persons who determine to become “Revolving Credit Lenders”; provided, however unless an Event of Default has occurred (in which event, no consent of any Borrower is required) any assignment to a Person not then a
Revolving Credit Lender shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrowers’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld), which consent will be deemed given unless the Borrowers’ Representative provides the Administrative Agent
with written objection not more than five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrowers’ Representative written notice of a proposed assignment, such notice to state that consent will be deemed given by the
Borrowers’ Representative if written objection is not received by the Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Days. 
  
 (e) Upon written notice given the Borrowers’ Representative from time to time by the Administrative Agent of any assignment or allocation referenced
in Section 2.23(d): 
  
 (i) Each Borrower shall
execute one or more replacement Revolving Credit Notes to reflect such changed Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments, Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and identities and shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the
Administrative Agent (which promptly thereafter shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Representative the Revolving Credit Notes so replaced) provided however, in the event that a Revolving Credit Note is to be exchanged following its
acceleration or the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in lieu of causing the Borrowers to execute one or more new Revolving Credit Notes, may issue the Administrative
Agent’s Certificate confirming the resulting Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Revolving Credit Percentage Commitments. 
  
 (ii) Such change shall be effective from the effective date specified in such written notice and any Person added as a Revolving Credit
Lender shall have all rights, privileges, and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder thereafter as if such Person had been a signatory to this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which a Revolving Credit Lender is a signatory and
any Person removed as a Revolving Credit Lender shall be relieved of any obligations or responsibilities of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder thereafter. 
  
 2.24. INCREASE OF COMMITMENTS 
  
 (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default exist or would arise as a result thereof, Borrowers’ Representative shall
have the right at any time, but only one time during the term of this Agreement, to request an increase of the Revolving Credit Ceiling and the Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments to an amount not to exceed $110,000,000. Any such requested increase
shall be first made to all existing Revolving Credit Lenders on a pro rata basis. In the event that any existing Revolving Credit Lender does not notify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days from the receipt of the requested
increase that the such existing Revolving Credit Lender will increase its Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment, and the amount of its increase, the existing Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have declined the 
  

 -55- 








 requested increase of its Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment. To the extent that one or more existing Revolving Credit
Lenders decline to increase their respective Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments, or decline to increase their Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments to the amount requested by the Borrowers’ Representative, the Agent shall use reasonable efforts
to arrange for other Persons to become Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Revolving Credit Ceiling and Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments requested by the
Borrowers’ Representative and not accepted by the existing Revolving Credit Lenders (each such increase by either means, a “Commitment Increase”, and each such Person issuing, or Revolving Credit Lender increasing, its
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), provided, however, that (x) no Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to provide a Commitment Increase as a result of any such request by the
Borrower’ Representative, and (y) any Additional Commitment Lender which is not an existing Revolving Credit Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and (z) nothing contained herein shall constitute the unconditional
obligation of the Administrative Agent to provide or obtain commitments for such Commitment Increase, as the Administrative Agent only is agreeing hereby to use its reasonable efforts to arrange for Commitment Increases and Additional Commitment
Lenders. 
  
 (b) No Commitment Increase shall become effective
unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied: 
  
 (i) the Borrowers’ Representative, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents in such form as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably require; 
  
 (ii) the Borrowers shall
have paid such commitment fees and other compensation to the Additional Commitment Lenders as the Borrowers’ Representative, the Administrative Agent and each such Additional Commitment Lenders may agree; 
  
 (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid such arrangement fees to
the Administrative Agent as the Borrowers’ Representative and the Agent may agree; 
  
 (iv) to the extent requested by any Additional Commitment Lender, a Revolving Credit Note will be issued at the Borrowers’ expense,
to each such Additional Commitment Lender, to the extent necessary to reflect the new Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of such Additional Commitment Lender; and 
  
 (v) the Borrower and the Additional Commitment Lenders shall have delivered such other instruments,
documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested. 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender as to the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as a
“Commitment Increase Date”), and at such time (x) the Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Commitment Increases, (y) EXHIBIT 2.23
shall 
  

 -56- 








 be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Revolving
Credit Percentage Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and (z) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect such increase in the Revolving Credit Ceiling, such Commitment Increases, and
the addition of the Additional Commitment Lenders (if applicable).

Agent and, in any event, shall cease to be Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent, as the case may be, contemporaneously with its ceasing to be a Revolving Credit Lender. 
  
 15.2. RESPONSIBILITIES OF AGENTS. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall have principal responsibilities for and
primary authority for the administration of the credit facilities contemplated by this Agreement and for all matters for which the Collateral Agent is not responsible. In all instances where the allocation of responsibility and authority, as between
the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent is in doubt, the Administrative Agent shall be vested with such responsibility and authority. 
  

 -110- 








 (b) The Collateral Agent shall have principal responsibilities for and primary authority for the conduct
of the Liquidation and the distribution of the proceeds of such Liquidation.

 (d) Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible to any
Lender for any of the following: 
  
 (i) Any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any other Person. 
  
 (ii) Any appraisals or other assessments of the assets of any Loan Party or of any other Person responsible for or on account of the

reasonable care. No such attorney, accountant, other professional, agent, or attorney-in-fact shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any other such Person. 
  
 (f) Neither Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, or employees shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to
be taken or omitted to be taken by any other of them in connection herewith in reliance upon advice of their respective counsel nor, in any other event except for any action taken or omitted to be taken as to which a final judicial determination has
been or is made (in a proceeding in which such Person has had an opportunity to be heard) that such Person had acted in a grossly negligent manner, in actual bad faith, or in willful misconduct. 
  
 (g) Neither Agent shall have any responsibility in any event for more funds
than that Agent actually receives and collects. 
  
 (h) The
Agents, in their separate capacities as Lenders, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender. 
  

 -111- 








 15.3. CONCERNING DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE
AGENTS. 
  
 (a) Each Agent, in that
Agent’s reasonable discretion based upon that Agent’s determination of the likelihood that additional payments will be received, expenses incurred, and/or claims made by third parties to all or a portion of such proceeds, may delay the
distribution of any payment received on account of the Liabilities. 
  
 (b) Each Agent may disburse funds prior to determining that the sums which that Agent expects to receive have been finally and unconditionally paid to that Agent. If and to the extent that Agent does disburse funds and it later becomes
apparent that the Agent did not then receive a payment in an amount equal to the sum paid out, then any Lender to whom the Agent made the funds available, on demand from the Agent, shall refund to the Administrative Agent the sum paid to that
person. 
  
 (c) If, in the opinion of an Agent, the distribution
of any amount received by that Agent might involve that Agent in liability, or might be prohibited hereby, or might be questioned by any Person, then that Agent may refrain from making distribution until that Agent’s right to make distribution
has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (d)
The proceeds of any Lender’s exercise of any right of, or in the nature of, set-off shall be deemed, First, to the extent that a Lender is entitled to any distribution hereunder, to constitute such distribution and Second, shall
be shared with the other Lenders as if distributed pursuant to (and shall be deemed as distributions under) Section 14.8. 
  
 (e) Each Lender recognizes that the crediting of the Loan Parties with the “proceeds” of any transaction in which a Post Foreclosure Asset is
acquired is a non-cash transaction and that, in consequence, no distribution of such “proceeds” will be made by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. 
  
 (f) In the event that (x) a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the
Administrative Agent is to be repaid or disgorged or (y) the requisite Lenders (as provided in Section 16.4(h)) determine to effect such repayment or disgorgement, then each Lender to which any such distribution shall have been made shall repay, to
the Agent which had made such distribution, that Lender’s Pro-Rata share of the amount so adjudged or determined to be repaid or disgorged. 
  
 15.4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any dispute among the Lenders and/or any Agent concerning the interpretation,
administration, or enforcement of the financing arrangements contemplated by this or any other Loan Document or the interpretation or administration of this or any other Loan Document which cannot be resolved amicably shall be resolved in the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, sitting in Boston or in the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, to the jurisdiction of which courts each Lender hereby submits. 
  
 15.5. DISTRIBUTIONS OF
NOTICES AND OF DOCUMENTS. The Administrative Agent will forward to each Lender, promptly after the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, a copy of each notice or other

 (ii) Proprietary forms and formats utilized by the
Administrative Agent in providing reports to the Lenders pursuant hereto, which forms or formats are not of general currency.

to the general public through sources other than that Lender. 
  
 (b) Nothing included herein shall prohibit the disclosure of any such information as may be required to be provided by judicial process or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any party to this Agreement. 
  
 15.7. RELIANCE BY
AGENTS. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, telex, or facsimile) reasonably believed by that Agent 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 attorneys, accountants and other experts selected by that Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this
Agreement, any Loan Document, or in any other document referred to therein, that Agent shall in all events be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with the applicable Consent required by this Agreement. Instructions
given with the requisite Consent shall be binding on all Lenders. 
  

 -113- 








 15.8. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENTS
AND OTHER LENDERS. 
  
 (a) Each Lender represents to all other Lenders and to the Agents that such Lender: 
  
 (i) Independently and without reliance on any representation or act by any Agent or by any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as that Lender has deemed appropriate, has made such Lender’s own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and decision to enter into this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) Has relied upon that Lender’s review of the Loan
Documents by that Lender and by counsel to that Lender as that Lender deemed appropriate under the circumstances.

information as such Lender shall deem appropriate at the time, will continue to make such Lender’s own appraisals of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties when determining whether to take or not to take any discretionary
action under this Agreement.

discharge of that Agent’s duties hereunder, shall be required to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of, any Person. 
  
 (d) Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent
hereunder (as to which, see Section 15.5), the Agents shall not have any affirmative duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Person, which information may come into the possession of
Agents or any Affiliate of an Agent. 
  
 (e) Each Lender, at such
Lender’s request, shall have reasonable access to all nonprivileged documents in the possession of the Agents, which documents relate to the Agents’ performance of their duties hereunder. 
  
 15.9. INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting
the liabilities of the Loan Parties under any this or any of the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall indemnify each Agent, Pro-Rata, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenditures) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Agent and in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or the enforcement of any of terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents,
provided, however, no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the subject Agent as to which a final judicial determination has been or is made
(in a proceeding in which the subject Agent has had an opportunity to be heard) that the subject Agent had acted in a grossly negligent manner, in actual bad faith, or in willful misconduct. 
  

 -114- 








 15.10. RESIGNATION OF AGENT. 
  
 (a) An Agent may resign at any time by giving 60 days prior written notice
thereof to the Lenders and to the other Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the SuperMajority Lenders and the Tranche B Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor to such Agent (and if no Event of Default has occurred,
with the consent of the Borrowers’ Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld and, in any event, deemed given by the Borrowers’ Representative if no written objection is provided by the Borrowers’ Representative to the
(resigning) Agent within seven (7) Business Days notice of such proposed appointment). If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the giving of notice by the resigning Agent, then the
resigning Agent may appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a financial institution having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000.00 (unless, after a BuyOut such Agent shall be the Tranche B Lender in which case the foregoing
capital and surplus requirement shall not apply). The consent of the Borrowers’ Representative otherwise required by this Section 15.10(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred. 
  
 (b) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor shall thereupon succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the (resigning) Agent so replaced, and the (resigning) Agent shall be discharged from the (resigning) Agent’s
duties and obligations hereunder, other than on account of any responsibility for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the (resigning) Agent as to which a final judicial determination has been or is made (in a proceeding in which the
(resigning) Person has had an opportunity to be heard) that such Person had acted in a grossly negligent manner or in bad faith. 
  
 (c) After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and of all other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the
retiring Person’s benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

 (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
incorporate all discussions and negotiations between each Loan Party and each Agent and each Lender, either express or implied, concerning the matters included herein and in such other instruments, any custom, usage, or course of dealings to the
contrary notwithstanding. No such discussions, negotiations, custom, usage, or course of dealings shall limit, modify, or otherwise affect the provisions thereof. No failure by any Agent or any Lender to give notice to the Borrowers’
Representative of any Loan Party’s having failed to observe and comply with any warranty or covenant included in any Loan Document shall constitute a waiver of such warranty or covenant or the amendment of the subject Loan Document. 

 
 (b) Each Loan Party may undertake any action otherwise prohibited hereby,
and may omit to take any action otherwise required hereby, upon and with the express prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Subject to Article 16, no consent, modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document shall
be effective unless executed in writing by or on behalf of the party to be charged with such modification, amendment, or waiver (and if such party is the Administrative Agent then by a duly authorized officer thereof). Any modification, amendment,
or waiver provided by the Administrative Agent shall be in reliance upon all representations and warranties theretofore made to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Loan Parties (and any other guarantor, endorser, or surety of the
Liabilities) and consequently may be rescinded in the event that any of such representations or warranties was not true and complete in all material respects when given.

all powers of attorney included in this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby grants unto the Administrative Agent (acting through any of its officers) full power to do any and all things necessary or appropriate in connection with the exercise of such
powers as fully and effectually as that Loan Party might or could do, hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement. No power of attorney set forth in this Agreement shall be affected by any
disability or incapacity suffered by any Loan Party and each shall survive the same. All powers conferred upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the Administrative Agent.

any other applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Loan Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining following such application. 
  

 -129- 








 20.8. INCREASED COSTS. If, as a result of any
Requirement of Law, or of the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof, whether or not having the force of law, which on and after the Closing
Date: 
  
 (a) subjects any Lender to any taxes or changes the
basis of taxation, or increases any existing taxes, on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement (except for taxes on the Administrative Agent or any
Lender based on net income or capital imposed by the jurisdiction in which the principal or lending offices of the Administrative Agent or that Lender are located); 
  
 (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, cash margin, special deposit or similar requirements against assets
held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by or any other acquisition of funds by the relevant funding office of any Lender; 
  
 (c) imposes on any Lender any other condition with respect to any Loan Document; or 
  
 (d) imposes on any Lender a requirement to maintain or allocate capital in relation to the Liabilities; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing, in such Lender’s reasonable opinion, is to
increase the cost to that Lender of making or maintaining any loan, advance or financial accommodation or to reduce the income receivable by that Lender in respect of any loan, advance or financial accommodation by an amount which that Lender deems
to be material, then upon written notice from the Administrative Agent, from time to time, to the Borrowers’ Representative (such notice to set out in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to and a summary calculation of such increased cost
or reduced income), the Loan Parties shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the subject Revolving Credit Lender, upon receipt of such notice, that amount which shall compensate the subject Lender for such additional cost
or reduction in income. 
  
 20.9. COSTS
AND EXPENSES OF AGENTS AND LENDERS. 
  
 (a) The Loan Parties shall pay from time to time on demand all Costs of Collection and all reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which are incurred by each Agent and by the Tranche B Lender (and the respective Participants with the Tranche B Lender) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of this
Agreement and of any other Loan Documents, and all other reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements which may be incurred in connection with or in respect to the credit facility contemplated hereby or which otherwise are incurred with respect to
the Liabilities. 
  
 (b) The Loan Parties shall pay from time to
time on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Lenders to Lenders’ Special Counsel. 
  

 -130- 








 (c) Each Loan Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay all such fees and expenses and in the
Administrative Agent’s discretion, to add such fees and expenses to the Loan Account. 
  
 (d) The undertaking on the part of each Loan Party in this Section 20.9 shall survive payment of the Liabilities and/or any termination, release, or discharge executed by any Agent in favor of any Loan Party, other
than a termination, release, or discharge which makes specific reference to this Section 20.9. 
  
 20.10. COPIES AND FACSIMILES. Each Loan Document and all documents and papers which relates thereto which have been or may be
hereinafter furnished any Agent or any Lender may be reproduced by any Lender or by any Agent by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process, and such Person making such reproduction may destroy any document so
reproduced. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of
business). Any facsimile which bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise shall be so admissible in evidence as if the original of such facsimile had been delivered
to the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was received. 
  
 20.11. MASSACHUSETTS LAW. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity, and performance, shall be governed by the law of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof). 
  
 20.12. INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers’ Representative and each Loan Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold each Agent and each Lender and any of their respective employees,
officers, or agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless of and from any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnified Person by any Loan Party, any other guarantor or endorser of the Liabilities, or any other Person (as well as
from reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and disbursements in connection therewith) on account of the relationship of the Borrowers’ Representative, the Loan Parties or of any other guarantor or endorser of the Liabilities, including all
costs, expenses, liabilities, and damages as may be suffered by any Indemnified Person in connection with (x) the Collateral; (y) the occurrence of any Event of Default; or (z) the exercise of any rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents
(each of claims which may be defended, compromised, settled, or pursued by the Indemnified Person with counsel of the Administrative Agent’s selection, but at the expense of the Borrowers’ Representative and the Loan Parties) other than
any claim as to which a final determination is made in a judicial proceeding (in which the Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Person has had an opportunity to be heard), which determination includes a specific finding that the
Indemnified Person seeking indemnification had acted in a grossly negligent manner or in actual bad faith or willful misconduct. This indemnification shall survive payment of the Liabilities and/or any termination, release, or discharge executed by
the Administrative Agent in favor of the Borrowers’ Representative and/or the Loan Parties, other than a termination, release, or discharge duly executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent which makes specific reference to this Section
20.12.

participations to one or more financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) in that Lender’s interests herein provided that no such participation shall include any provision which accords that Participant with any
rights, vis a vis any Agent, with respect to any requirement herein for approval by a requisite number or proportion of the Lenders, but provided further, such participation, if in the Tranche B Loan, may be on such “voting”

 20.16. RIGHT OF
SET-OFF. Any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due to any Loan Party from any Agent or any Lender or any Participant or from any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and any

BANKS. Nothing included in this Agreement shall prevent or limit any Lender, to the extent that such Lender is subject to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act
(12 U.S.C. §341) from pledging all or any portion of that Lender’s interest and rights under this Agreement, provided, however, neither such pledge nor the enforcement thereof shall release the pledging Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. 
  
 20.18. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. Regardless of any provision of any Loan Document, neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to contract for, charge, receive, collect,
or apply as interest on any Liability, any amount in excess of the maximum rate imposed by Applicable Law. Any payment which is made which, if treated as interest on a Liability would result in such interest’s exceeding such maximum rate shall
be held, to the extent of such excess, as additional collateral for the Liabilities as if such excess were “Collateral.” 
  
 20.19. WAIVERS. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers’ Representative and each Loan Party (and all guarantors, endorsers, and sureties of the Liabilities) make each of the waivers
included in Section 20.19(b), below, knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally, and understands that each Agent and each Lender, in establishing the facilities contemplated hereby and in providing loans and other financial accommodations to or for
the account of the Loan Parties as provided herein, whether not or in the future, is relying on such waivers.

CASE OR CONTROVERSY IS INITIATED BY OR AGAINST ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR IN WHICH ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER IS JOINED AS A PARTY LITIGANT), WHICH CASE OR CONTROVERSY ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN RESPECT OF, ANY RELATIONSHIP AMONGST OR BETWEEN THE
BORROWERS’ REPRESENTATIVE, ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON AND THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER LIKEWISE WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY IN ANY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY). 
  
 (iv) Except for manifest error, any defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, or other basis on which the
amount of any Liability, as stated on the books and records of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, could be reduced or claimed to be paid otherwise than in accordance with the tenor of and written terms of such Liability.
