 ARTICLE 3 
  
 INTEREST AND FEES 
  
 3.1 Interest. 
  
 (a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by
law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate and Sections 3.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, but not to exceed the Maximum
Rate described in Section 3.3. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows: 
  
 (i) For all LIBOR Rate Loans and other Obligations (other than Base Rate Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate
plus the Applicable Margin; and 
  
 (ii) For all
Base Rate Loans at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate described in clause (ii) above as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest accrued on all Loans will be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter hereafter. 
  
 (b) Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and the Majority Lenders in their discretion so elect, then, while any such Default or Event of Default is outstanding, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto and such interest shall be payable
upon demand from time to time. 
  
 3.2 [Reserved]

  
 3.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any
interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender under applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any
interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that
interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in
full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise
set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of
interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate 
  

 23 








 
had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at
all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges
hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations
outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess. 
  
 3.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a non-refundable amendment fee equal to $100,000 on the Closing Date, which fee shall be fully earned by the Lenders when paid on
the Closing Date.

 PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

principal amount of the Loans in consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on September 30, 2003, with subsequent installments payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter to and including the Stated Termination Date, as
more particularly set forth on Schedule A hereto; provided, however, that the last such installment shall be in the amount necessary to repay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans. 
  
 4.2 Termination of Facility. 
  
 (a) Effective from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower may terminate
this Agreement upon at least fifteen (15) days’ irrevocable written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) the payment of the prepayment fee set
forth in clause (c) below, (iii) the payment in full in cash of all other Obligations together with accrued interest thereon, and (iv) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid in connection with such termination prior to the expiration date of
the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, the payment of the amounts described in Section 5.4. 
  
 (b) The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in part upon at least five (5) Business Days’ irrevocable written notice to
the Agent and the Lenders specifying the principal amount of such prepayment and the Business Day on which such prepayment shall occur, upon (i) the payment of the prepayment fee set forth in clause (c) below, (ii) the payment of all accrued but
unpaid interest in respect of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid and (iii) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid prior to the expiration date of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, the payment of the amounts described in Section
5.4. 
  

 24 








 (c) If this Agreement is terminated at any time prior to the Stated Termination Date, whether pursuant to
this Section or pursuant to Section 11.2, or if the Borrower prepays for any reason (whether voluntarily, pursuant to Section 4.8 or otherwise) any of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans prior to the scheduled date on which such
principal amount falls due, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a prepayment fee determined in accordance with the following table: 
  

	 Period during which
 early termination
 or prepayment occurs

	  	 Prepayment
 Fee


	On or prior to September 27, 2003	  	3.0% of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid (or required to be prepaid)
		
	After September 27, 2003 but on or prior to September 27, 2004	  	2.0% of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid (or required to be prepaid)
		
	After September 27, 2004 but on or prior to September 27, 2005	  	1.0% of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid (or required to be prepaid)

  
 (d) All partial
prepayments of the Loans shall be applied to the principal installments then remaining in inverse order of maturity. 
  
 4.3 Payments by the Borrower. 
  
 (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Agent’s address set forth in Section 15.8, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New
York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the
Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the
Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

  

 25 








 4.4 [Reserved] 
  
 4.5 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments shall be
apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders. All payments
shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the Agent, shall be applied,
ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Borrower; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from
the Borrower; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Loans; and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Agent or any Lender by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default is outstanding, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Rate
Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the LIBOR Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans. The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender,
pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and
all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. 
  
 4.6 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds applied to the payment of, all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or
proceeds to any Person, because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason,
then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender, and the Borrower shall be
liable to pay to the Agent, and hereby does indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for, the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be and remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s and the
Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. 
  

 26

the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute
rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide to the Borrower a quarterly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant
to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 4.5 and corrections of errors discovered
by the Agent), unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower, only the items to which exception
is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. 
  
 4.8 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make or agree to make a Disposition, or shall suffer an Event of Loss, then (i) the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent
of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (ii) promptly upon, and in no event later than one Business Day after,
receipt by the Borrower or the Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that (a) the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8 shall not apply to (i) Net Proceeds of less than $2,000,000 received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with any Disposition or Event of Loss, subject to a maximum of $10,000,000 of Net Proceeds
received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (on an aggregate basis) in any Fiscal Year, so long as such Net Proceeds are reinvested or otherwise applied in accordance with the following clauses (ii) and (iii), (ii) in the case of any Disposition of

 (iv) the Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional
amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent. 
  

 28 








 (e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or the Agent pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which
may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 5.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain LIBOR
Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 
  
 5.3
Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
  
 (a) If any
Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon
demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. 
  
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by the Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the
Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increase. 
  
 5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of: 
  
 (a) the failure of the Borrower to
make on a timely basis any payment of principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan; 
  
 (b) the failure of the Borrower to prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith; 
  

 29 








 (c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof, by operation of law or
otherwise) of a LIBOR Rate Loan, in whole or in part, on a day that is not the last day of the relevant LIBOR Period; or 
  
 (d) the automatic conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as provided in Section 5.6 on a day that is not the last day of the relevant LIBOR
Period, 
  
 including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by each such Lender to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
  
 5.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Period, or that the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining the Loans, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. 
  
 5.6 Automatic Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans. If the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans is at any time suspended pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 5.5, then all LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall immediately and automatically convert to Base Rate Loans without any further action by the parties. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans. From and after the date on which any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans occurs, the outstanding Loans shall continue to accrue interest as
Base Rate Loans until such date as the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such automatic conversion no longer exist, at which date the outstanding Loans shall automatically convert back to LIBOR Rate
Loans having a LIBOR Period commencing on such date. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders the amounts described in Section 5.4 in connection with the automatic conversion of the LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day
of the relevant LIBOR Period. 
  
 5.7 Certificates of
Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article 5 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such
certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. 
  
 5.8 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this Article 5 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law. Each Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and to the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification. The

part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. Except as specifically disclosed on Schedule 8.22, no claim or
litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code is, to the best of the
Borrower’s knowledge, pending or proposed, which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(including the offering and disclosure materials delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date), contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered (it being understood that although any financial projections and forecasts furnished by the
Borrower represent the Borrower’s best estimates and assumptions as to future performance, which the Borrower believes to be fair and reasonable as of the time made in the light of current and reasonably foreseeable business conditions, such
financial projections and forecasts as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected or forecasted results). 
  
 8.25 Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption,
authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 8.26 Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering
such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or each such Restricted Subsidiary operates.

completing production of any Collateral that is work-in-process, advertising or selling any Collateral, and the Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The
proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
  
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower hereby waives all rights to
notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

have, and hereby irrevocably waives, any claims against the Agent or any Lender under the Existing Loan Agreement and agrees that the Agent and each of the Lenders shall, as between AMD and AMDISS, be released from all obligations and further

the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments no such assignment and/or delegation shall be
permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender

 58 








 (b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
  
 (d) Immediately upon each Assignee’s making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the
assigning Lender pro tanto. 
  

 59 








 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other
Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender

Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
  
 THE AGENT 
  
 14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints GECC as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the
terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 14. The provisions of this Article
14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Agent-Related Persons and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, 
  

 60 








 
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent
shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. 
  
 14.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that
it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 14.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any
Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
  
 14.4 Reliance by Agent-Related Persons. 
  
 (a) The Agent-Related Persons shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent-Related Persons. Each Agent-Related Person shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be 
  

 61 








 
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. Each Agent-Related Person shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders (or all
Lenders if so required by Section 13.2) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article 10, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by any Agent-Related Person to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented
to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lender. 
  
 14.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 
  
 14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by any Agent-Related Person hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents
to each Agent-Related Person that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into
this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any
of the Agent-Related Persons. 
  

 62 








 14.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities
as such term is defined in Section 15.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations
hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
  
 14.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. GECC and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial
advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though GECC was not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities,
GECC and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, GECC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” include GECC in its individual capacity. 
  
 14.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as
Agent. In the event the GECC sells all of its Commitment and Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by GECC of substantially all of its loan portfolio, GECC shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the
successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the
Lenders, which successor agent shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and
the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section
14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 
  

 63 








 14.10 Withholding Tax. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States (a “Foreign Lender”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement or under any promissory note delivered hereunder are exempt from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to
Borrower and Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such
exemption (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Any foreign Person that seeks to become a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Agent prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No foreign Person may
become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender. 
  
 14.11 Collateral Matters. 
  
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent’s Lien upon any Collateral (i)
upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Loans and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of (including in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction) in
accordance with Section 9.8 if the Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.8 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii)
constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrower pursuant to a lease permitted hereunder if the Borrower certifies to the
Agent that such lease is permitted hereunder (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (v) constituting property acquired after the Closing Date and financed pursuant to Section 9.12(vii) if
the Borrower certifies to the Agent that such financing is made in compliance with Section 9.12(vii) (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Except as provided above, the Agent will not release
any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 during any
one year period without the prior written authorization of the Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or
items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11. 
  
 (b)
Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 14.11(a) from the Lenders of the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5)
Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral;
provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the
release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect
of) all interests retained by the Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
  

 64 








 (c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the
Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent’s own interest in
the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing. 
  
 (d) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the
Lenders, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  
 14.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the
request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless
specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or
otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
  
 (b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender arising under, or relating to,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of
all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of
all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other
Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is
thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest
except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 
  

 65 








 14.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the
purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender
shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. 
  
 14.14 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire
transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and
Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof)
represents principal, premium or interest on the Loans or otherwise. 
  
 14.15 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, for the ratable benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or Majority Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by the Agent or the
Majority Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
  
 14.16 [Reserved]Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners
or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. 
  
 14.18 Other Agents. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this
Agreement as a “co-agent,” “sole arranger” or “syndication agent” (each, an “Other Agent”) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
expressly set forth herein or otherwise applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) any Other Agent (other than the Agent) may at any time resign as an Other Agent hereunder, and (ii) none of the Lenders or other Persons
so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this
Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  

 66

 15.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Prior Recourse to Collateral. The enumeration herein of the Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies is
not intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Agent and the Lenders may have under the UCC or other applicable law. The Agent and the Lenders shall
have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which rights and remedies are to be exercised and in which order. The exercise of one right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative. The Agent
and the Lenders may, without limitation, proceed directly against the Borrower to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, remedy, power or privilege. 
  
 15.2 Severability.
The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any

WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO

respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 
  
 15.12 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower,
any Lender or other Person against the Agent, any Lender, or the affiliates, directors, officers, officers, employees, or agents of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of

15.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final,
complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. No modification, rescission,
waiver, release, or amendment of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, except by a written agreement signed by the Borrower and a duly authorized officer of each of the Agent and the requisite Lenders.

 15.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the
Agent, each Lender and the Borrower in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. 
  
 15.15 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be
construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision. 
  
 15.16
Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any
time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
