ARTICLE II 
  
 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES 
 AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT 

 
 Section 2.01 The Advances. (a) The Working Capital Advances.
Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each, a “Working Capital Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date
until the Termination Date (i) in an amount for each such Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Working Capital Commitment at such time and 

  

 32 








 
(ii) in an aggregate amount for all such Advances not to exceed such Lender’s ratable portion (based on the aggregate amount of the Unused Working
Capital Commitments at such time) of the lesser of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability and (B) the amount of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing; provided, that the sum of (x) the aggregate
principal amount of all Working Capital Advances and L/C Advances outstanding at such time plus (y) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time shall not exceed the Borrowing Base Availability at any time.

  
 (b) Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in a principal
amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (other than a Borrowing the proceeds of which shall be used solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding L/C Advances) and shall consist of Advances made simultaneously by
the Lenders ratably according to the Lenders’ Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Working Capital Commitment in effect from time to time, the Borrower may borrow under Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06,
and reborrow under Section 2.01(a). 
  
 Section 2.02 Making the
Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or 2.03, each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give
to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier, in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) the Facility under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any L/C Advances made by the L/C Issuer and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such
Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such L/C Advances. 
  
 (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate
Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09
or 2.10 and (ii) the Working Capital Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 15 separate Borrowings. 
  

 33 








 (c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any
Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or
before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
  
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available
to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable
at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance or make available on the date of such Borrowing, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by it. 
  
 Section 2.03 Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
  
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend
Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower;
provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension,
(w) the Working Capital Facility’s ratable share of Total Outstandings would exceed 

  

 34 








 
the aggregate amount of the Working Capital Facility, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the outstanding Advances of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, would exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (z) the sum of (1) the
aggregate principal amount of all Working Capital Advances and L/C Advances outstanding at such time plus (2) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time exceed the Borrowing Base Availability at such
time. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
  
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental
authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Prior Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
which was not applicable on the Prior Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders
have approved such expiry date; (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer; or (D) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $25,000, or is to be denominated in a currency other than
U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, pounds sterling, Euros or Yen; provided, that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower
thereunder shall be in U.S. dollars. 
  
 (iii) The L/C Issuer
shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does
not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. 
  
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such
later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance 

  

 35 








 
date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as
the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of
Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. 
  
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent
with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C
Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
  
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through
the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent at such time (as reasonably determined by the L/C Issuer) of the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested a Borrowing to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Borrowings, but subject to the amount of
the Unused Working Capital Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given
by telephone if 

  

 36 








 
immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice. 
  
 (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as
L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the
Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made a L/C Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
  
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be
satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
(together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
  
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Working Capital Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 
  
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

  

 37 








 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related
Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect. 
  
 (e) Obligations
Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto; 
  
 (ii) the existence of any claim,
counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C
Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C
Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any 

  

 38 








 
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

 
 (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower. 
  
 The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and,
in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C
Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any
Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or
the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, any of their respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer or any Agent-Related Person, and they may be liable to
the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s, any Agent-Related Person’s, or any of
the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer or of any Agent-Related Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation
to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  

 39 








 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has
honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and
partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 110% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the
L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such
term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing. Such cash collateral shall be maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. 
  
 (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices
1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on
April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
  
 (i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
  
 Section 2.04
Repayment of Advances. (a) (i) On the last Business Day of each calendar week, (ii) on any other Business Day on which the sum of (A) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Cash Concentration Account plus (B) the aggregate amount held

sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time plus the aggregate Available Amount under all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time plus the aggregate amount of all other Obligations under the Loan
Documents exceeds (y) an amount equal to 80% of the Borrowing Base Availability at such time, the Administrative Agent shall, in each case, apply all amounts on deposit in the Cash Concentration Account first, to the prepayment of the L/C
Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full if required under Section 2.03(g), second to the prepayment of the Working Capital Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full and third to be deposited
in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to cash collateralize 110% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit then outstanding.

 Section 2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least two
Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Unused Working Capital Commitments; provided, however, that each partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. 
  
 (i) The Working Capital Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced on each date on which prepayment thereof is required to be made pursuant
to clause (i) of Section 2.06(b) by an amount equal to the applicable Reduction Amount. 
  
 (ii) The Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically and permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Working Capital Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the
Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the Working Capital Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Working Capital Facility. 
  
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions. Upon each reduction of the Working Capital Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Commitment of each
of the Lenders under such Facility shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Facility is reduced in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Working Capital Commitments with respect to such Facility.

the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the Working Capital Facility.

 (v) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. 
  
 Section 2.07 Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on each Working Capital Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Working Capital Advance until such principal
amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
  
 (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable

 Section 2.09 Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day,
upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the
Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate
Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the
restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of
Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. 
  
 (i) On the date on which the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances. 

 
 (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance. 
  
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 
  
 Section 2.10 Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance 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 any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of
making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of
overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the
Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such 

  

 44 








 
Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party
claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the
amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of
Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party,
from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be
allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest
Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to
perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent,
(i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent shall notify the 

  

 45 








 
Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making
any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender
or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender. 
  
 Section 2.11 Payments and Computations. (a) The
Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York, New York time) on the day when due (or, in the
case of payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.01, on the date of demand therefor) in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender
Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation
then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and
recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in
respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between
themselves. 
  
 (b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for
application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender Party ratably in accordance with such Lender Party’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then
outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct. 
  
 (c) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party, if and to the extent
payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party any amount so
due. Each of the Lender Parties hereby agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application shall be made by such Lender Party; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such charge. 
  

 46 








 (d) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a
year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of
interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
  
 (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 Section 2.12 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with
Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and the
Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of
which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu
thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of
payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any
Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it 

  

 47 








 
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage
recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the
Mortgages (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that
is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the
Borrower or such Guarantor by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower or such Guarantor determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish,
to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms
“United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall have delivered or shall, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender or the Initial L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender
Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal
Revenue Service forms 1001 or 4224 or (in the case of a Lender Party that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code) form W-8 (and, if such
Lender Party delivers a form W-8, a certificate representing that such Lender Party is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of
the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign 

  

 48 








 
corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), as appropriate, or any successor or other form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or, in the case of a Lender Party
providing a form W-8, certifying that such Lender Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States
interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax
at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this
Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding
taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection
(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or, 4224 or W-8 (or the related certificate described above),
that the Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. 
  
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide
the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is
not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that
should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower and/or the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover
such Taxes. 
  
 Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If
any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07), (a) on account of Obligations due and
payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time (other than pursuant to
Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties
hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time (other than pursuant to
Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time (other than pursuant to 

  

 49 








 
Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under
the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to
the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties)
of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to
this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation. 
  
 Section 2.14 Use of
Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely (a) to provide financing for working capital, letters of credit,
capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Guarantors and, to the extent permitted elsewhere in this Agreement, their respective Subsidiaries and (b) to pay costs and expenses in connection with the Cases;
provided, however that no amounts shall be paid pursuant to this Section 2.14 for fees and disbursements incurred by any Loan Party in connection with any investigation, assertion or prosecution of claims or causes of action against
the Agents or any Lender Party, including, without limitation, (x) any objection to, the contesting in any manner of, or the raising of any defenses to, the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Obligations under this Agreement or
the Administrative Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, or (y) any other rights or interest of the Agents or the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents but not including investigations, assertions or prosecutions of claims and causes of action
arising from an Agent’s or a Lender’s failure to perform hereunder; provided, further that the proceeds of the Advances shall be available, and the Borrower agrees that it shall use all such proceeds in a manner substantially
in accordance with, and in aggregate amounts substantially consistent with the amounts set forth in, (i) the budget forecast delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(e) and (ii) the DIP Budget. 
  
 Section 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting
Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such
Defaulting Lender against the 

  

 50 








 
obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its
obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be
considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such
Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this
subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance
pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied
by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15. 
  
 (b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the
Administrative Agent or any of the other Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent
may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lender Parties and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such
Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative
Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative
Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent and such other Lender Parties and, if the
amount of such payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any
Defaulted Amount then owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent; and 
  
 (ii) second, to any other Lender Parties for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance
with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties. 
  

 51 








 Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect
to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.15. 
  
 (c) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not
owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such
Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with
Citibank, in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such
account from time to time, shall be Citibank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by
the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the
extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, as and
when such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of
priority: 
  
 (i) first, to the
Administrative Agent for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as Administrative Agent; 
  
 (ii) second, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting
Lender to such other Lender Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and 
  
 (iii) third, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender. 
  
 In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting
Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender Party shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such
Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time. 
  

 52 








 (d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in addition to other
rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

  
 Section 2.16 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Advances made by
each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such
matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Advances and payments with
respect thereto. 
  
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records
referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event
of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.17 Priority and Liens. Each
of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby covenants, represents and warrants that, upon entry of the Interim Order, the Obligations of the Borrower and such Guarantor hereunder and under the Loan Documents: (i) pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times constitute an allowed Superpriority Claim; (ii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on all unencumbered real, personal and mixed
property of the Borrower and such Guarantor and on all cash maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account and any investments of the funds contained therein (excluding any avoidance actions under the Bankruptcy Code (but including the proceeds
therefrom)); and (iii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected Lien upon all real, personal and mixed property of the Borrower and such Guarantor that is subject to valid and perfected liens in existence
on the Petition Date, junior to such valid and perfected Liens, subject and subordinated in each case with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) above, only to the Carve-Out. Except for the Carve-Out having priority over the Obligations, the
Superpriority Claims shall at all times be senior to the rights of the Borrower, each Guarantor, any chapter 11 trustee and, subject to section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code, any chapter 7 trustee, or any other creditor (including, without limitation,
post-petition counterparties and other post-petition creditors) in the Cases or any subsequent proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, any 

  

 53 








 
chapter 7 cases if any of the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s cases are converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
  
 Section 2.18 Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.01, upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Lender Parties shall be entitled to immediate payment of
such Obligations without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court. 
  
 Section 2.19 No Discharge: Survival of Claims. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor agree that (i) its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming any Reorganization
Plan (and each of the Borrower and each Guarantor, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code hereby waives any such discharge), (ii) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties pursuant to the Order
and described in Section 2.17 and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties pursuant to the Order and described in Section 2.17 shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of any order by the Bankruptcy Court,
including an order confirming any Reorganization Plan, and (iii) notwithstanding the terms of any Reorganization Plan, its Obligations hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be repaid in full in accordance with the terms hereof and the
terms of each other Loan Document, the Interim Order, and the Final Order.

 76 








 then, and in any such event, subject only to the giving of an “Enforcement Notice” under and as defined in the

notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances (other than L/C Advances by the L/C Issuer or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same
shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower.  
  
 Section 6.02
Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any
of the actions described in Section 6.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day funds at the Administrative
Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to 110% of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines
that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of
all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such
aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 THE AGENTS 
  
 Section 7.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Agents. (a) Each
Lender Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Agents 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. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan
Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party or participant, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term
“agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) 

  

 77 








 
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. 
  
 (b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i)
provided to each Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of
credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VII and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
  
 Section 7.02 Delegation of Duties. Each 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 and other
consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

  
 Section 7.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related
Person shall (a) 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 gross negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof,
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any 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 any Loan Party 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 Party or participant 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 any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
  
 Section 7.04 Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail 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 any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent, as applicable. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to 

  

 78 








 
take any such action. Each Agent 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 Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining
compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the relevant Agent or Agents shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 Section 7.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to any Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written
notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Initial Lenders, shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VI; provided, however, that unless and until the
Administrative Agent has received any such direction, it may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, in each case, in consultation with the Initial Lenders, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
  
 Section 7.06
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance
of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons
have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents 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 Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other 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 hereunder. 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 required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the 

  

 79 








 
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates
which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
  
 Section 7.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan
Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Person’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by any 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 such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other
Obligations and the resignation of each of the Agents. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 7.07 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. 
  
 Section 7.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, GECC and their respective
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 each of the Loan
Parties and their respective Affiliates as though CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank and GECC, as the case may be, were not an Agent or L/C Issuer hereunder, as the case may be, and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, each of CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, GECC and each of their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that each of CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, GECC and their respective Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With
respect to its Loans, each of CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, GECC and their respective Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an
Agent or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each of CUSA, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, GECC in its individual capacity. 
  

 80 








 Section 7.09 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign from acting in such capacity upon 30
days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that any such resignation by CUSA shall also constitute the resignation by Citibank as L/C Issuer. If an Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among
the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and L/C Issuer and the term “Agent” shall mean such
successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated and in the case of the Administrative Agent, the retiring L/C Issuer’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any
other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if
any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 10.04 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 
  
 Section 7.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.08 and 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b)
to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for 

  

 81 








 
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 10.04. 
  
 Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights
of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  
 Section 7.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

  
 (a) to release any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all
Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders; 
  
 (b) to subordinate any Lien on any
property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.02(a); 
  
 (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or if all of such Person’s assets are sold or liquidated as permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof are distributed to the Borrower; and 
  
 (d) to acquire, hold and enforce any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by and of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such other powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
  
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (acting on behalf of all the Lenders) will
confirm in writing that the Administrative Agent’s authority to release Liens or subordinate the interests of the Secured Parties in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY 
  
 Section 8.01 Subsidiary Guaranty. Each Guarantor, severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking by each Guarantor under this Article VIII being the “Guaranty”) the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by
acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of the Obligations of each of the other Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premium, fees, indemnification payments, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or
otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the
other Secured Parties solely in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be
owed by any of the other Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 
  
 Section 8.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect
in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party
or whether any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of, and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses
it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any and all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  

 83 








 (c) any taking, exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (d) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or
other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any other property and assets of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the
corporate structure or existence of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the
financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties
to disclose such information); 
  
 (g) the
failure of any other Person to execute this Guaranty or any other guarantee or agreement of the release or reduction of the liability of any of the other Loan Parties or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

  
 (h) any other circumstance (including,
without limitation, any statute of limitations or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Guarantor,
any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 
  
 This Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or by any other Person
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 Section 8.03 Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of
acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property or assets
subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and
applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
  
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Secured Parties which in any manner impairs,
reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects 

  

 84 








 
the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights to proceed against any of the other
Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (ii) any defense based on any right of setoff or counterclaim against or in respect of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without
notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of the such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any Mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and such Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law. 
  
 (e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  
 Section 8.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights
that it may now have or may hereafter acquire against any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of its Obligations under this Guaranty or under any other Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against such other Loan
Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such other Loan Party or
any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, terminated or been cancelled and the Commitments shall have expired or terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the full drawing,
termination, expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit, and (c) the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the
Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any
Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, terminated or been cancelled, and (iv) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer of subrogation to such


  

 85 








 
Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the payment made by such Guarantor. 
  
 Section 8.05 Additional Guarantors. Upon the execution and delivery by
any Person of a guaranty joinder agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a
Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also
mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference
in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall include each such duly executed and delivered Guaranty Supplement.

rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party under this Article VIII or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 10.07. 
  
 Section 8.07 No Reliance. Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender Party and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each
other Loan Party on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of such
other Loan Party.

desirable, or that any Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Loan Party hereunder or to enable such Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Loan Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party will promptly with respect to Collateral of such Loan Party: (i) at the request of any Agent, mark conspicuously
each document included in Inventory, each chattel paper included in Accounts, each Related Contract, and each of its records pertaining to such Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent, indicating that
such document, chattel paper, Related Contract, or Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any such Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to such

under this Agreement has been taken. From time to time upon reasonable request by any Agent, each Loan Party will, at such Loan Party’s expense, cause to be delivered to such Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an opinion of counsel,
from outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Agent, as to such matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Article IX as such Agent may reasonably request. 
  
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, including, without limitation, one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal property (or words of similar effect) of such Loan Party, in each case without the signature of such
Loan Party, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Loan Party ratifies its authorization for each Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or
amendments filed prior to the date hereof. 
  
 (c) Each Loan Party
will furnish to each Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Loan Party and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as such Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b)
of this Section 9.02, or any failure on the part of any Loan Party or any Agent to take any of the actions set forth in such subsections, the Liens and security interests granted herein shall be deemed valid, enforceable and perfected by entry of
the Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable. No financing statement, notice of lien, mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument in any jurisdiction or filing office need be filed or any other action taken in order to validate and perfect
the Liens and security interests granted by or pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order or the Final Order. 
  
 Section 9.03 Rights of Lender; Limitations on Lenders’ Obligations. (a) Loan Parties Remain Liable. Subject to each Loan
Party’s rights and duties under the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Loan Party shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such
Loan Party’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights
hereunder shall not release any Loan Party from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements
included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Loan Party thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
claim for payment assigned hereunder. 
  

 92 








 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Loan Party will continue to collect, at its
own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Loan Party under the Accounts and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Loan Party may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, will take) such action as such
Loan Party or the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts and Related Contracts; provided, however, that, subject to any requirement of notice provided in the DIP Financing Orders or in Section
6.01, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, to notify the obligors under any Accounts and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Accounts and Related Contracts to
the Administrative Agent and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Loan Party thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Loan Party, to enforce
collection of any such Accounts and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Loan Party might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to
such Accounts and Related Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Upon and during the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of any of the remedies described in the proviso of the
immediately preceding sentence, (i) any and all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Loan Party in respect of the Accounts and Related Contracts of such Loan Party shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Loan Party and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in a
collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent and applied as provided in Section 9.07(b) and (ii) such Loan Party will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account or amount due on any Related Contract, release
wholly or partly any obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Loan Party will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Accounts and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations
of the obligor thereof. 
  
 (c) Each Initial Lender shall have the
right to make test verification of the Accounts (other than Accounts that any Loan Party is required to maintain as “classified”) in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable in its reasonable discretion, and each Loan
Party agrees to furnish all such assistance and information as any Initial Lender may reasonably require in connection therewith. 
  
 Section 9.04 Covenants of the Loan Parties with Respect to Collateral. Each Loan Party hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent
that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations which are not then due and payable) are fully satisfied or cash collateralized: 
  
 (a) Delivery and Control of Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (i) All certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto at the request of the Administrative Agent, and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by
duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the 

  

 93 








 
Administrative Agent. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. 
  
 (ii) With respect to any Pledged Collateral in which any Loan Party has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an
uncertificated security, upon the request of the Administrative Agent such Loan Party will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record
with such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent of such Loan Party, such authenticated record to be in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. With respect to any Pledged Collateral in which any Loan Party has any right, title or interest and that is not an uncertificated security, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, such Loan Party will notify each such issuer of Pledged Equity that such Pledged Equity is subject to the security interest granted hereunder. 
  
 (iii) Except as provided in Section 9.07, such Loan Party shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Initial
Pledged Collateral (other than liquidating or distributing dividends) with respect to the Initial Pledged Equity. Any sums paid upon or in respect of any of the Pledged Equity upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any of the Initial
Pledged Equity, any distribution of capital made on or in respect of any of the Initial Pledged Equity or any property distributed upon or with respect to any of the Initial Pledged Equity pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the
capital of any issuer of Initial Pledged Equity or pursuant to the reorganization thereof shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as collateral for the Secured Obligations. 
  
 (iv) Except as provided in Section 9.07, such Loan Party
will be entitled to exercise all voting, consent and corporate rights with respect to Pledged Equity; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, consent given or right exercised or other action taken by such Loan Party which would
impair the Pledged Collateral or which would be inconsistent in any material respect with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, without prior notice to the Administrative Agent, to enable or
take any other action to permit any issuer of Pledged Equity to issue any stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity
securities of any nature of any issuer of Pledged Equity other than issuances, transfers and grants to a Loan Party. 
  
 (v) Such Loan Party shall not grant control over any investment property to any Person other than the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (vi) In the case of each Loan Party which is an issuer of
Pledged Equity, such Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it. 
  

 94 








 (b) Maintenance of Records. Such Loan Party will keep and maintain, at its own
cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, in all material respects, including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other material dealings
concerning the Collateral. For the Administrative Agent’s further security, each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have a property interest in all of such Loan Party’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral and,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, such Loan Party shall deliver and turn over any such books and records to the Administrative Agent or to its representatives at any time on demand of the Administrative Agent.

  
 (c) Indemnification With Respect to
Collateral. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Administrative Agent relating to any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision of any Collateral, such Loan Party will save, indemnify and keep the Secured
Parties harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by such
Loan Party of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Loan Party, and all such obligations of such Loan Party shall be
and remain enforceable against and only against such Loan Party and shall not be enforceable against the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (d) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Loan Party will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral
against and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a) and will defend the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent in and to all of such Loan Party’s
rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than claims or demands arising out of Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a). 
  
 (e) Limitations on Modifications of Eligible Billed Accounts Receivable. Such Loan Party will not,
without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment under or in respect of any of the Eligible Billed Accounts Receivable or Related Contracts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less
than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon other than any of the foregoing which are done in the ordinary course of business, consistent with
past practices, and trade discounts granted in the ordinary course of business of such Loan Party. 
  
 (f) Notices. Such Loan Party will advise the Administrative Agent promptly after it obtains knowledge thereof, in reasonable
detail, (i) of any Lien asserted against any of the Collateral other than Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a), and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which would result in a material adverse change with respect to the aggregate value of the
Collateral or on the security interests created hereunder. 
  

 95 








 (g) Maintenance of Equipment. Such Loan Party will keep and maintain the Equipment
in good operating condition sufficient for the continuation of the business conducted by such Loan Party on a basis consistent with past practices, ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, that, this subsection (g) shall not prohibit
the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Equipment consummated in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (h) As to Intellectual Property Collateral. 
  
 (i) Except as set forth in the last sentence of this clause (i), with respect to each item of its
Intellectual Property Collateral, each Loan Party agrees to take, at its expense, all necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other United States governmental
authority, to (A) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (B) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Loan Party, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office
actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the
filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and
misappropriation proceedings. No Loan Party shall, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent,
trademark, or copyright, unless such Loan Party shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Loan Party’s business and that
the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such Loan Party will give notice quarterly of any such abandonment to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (ii) If the result of such abandonment, invalidity,
unenforceability or any other action is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if such Loan Party becomes aware (A) that any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral it owns may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such Loan Party’s ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its
right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (B) of any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral. 
  

 96 








 (iii) In the event that any Loan Party becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual
Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, and such infringement or misappropriation is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for
infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation. 
  
 (iv) Each Loan Party shall take all steps which it or the Administrative Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to
preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality
of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality. 
  
 (v) Each Loan Party agrees that should it obtain a material ownership interest in any item of the type set
forth in Section 9.01(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect
thereto. At the end of each quarter, each Loan Party shall give prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property (other than patent applications and trade secrets, the disclosure of which shall
not be required until a patent is issued) acquired during such quarter, and such Loan Party shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an IP Security Agreement Supplement covering such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property and any newly issued patents, which IP Security Agreement Supplement may be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to
perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property. 
  
 Section 9.05 Performance by Agent of the Loan Parties’ Obligations. (a) Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent such
Loan Party’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party or otherwise, from time to time, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute
any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: 
  
 (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, 
  

 97 








 (ii) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, 
  
 (iii) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (i) or (ii)
above, and 
  
 (iv) to file any claims or take
any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.

  
 (b) Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Loan Party
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, as the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect the security interest granted hereunder in the Collateral or to protect the value thereof, but without any
obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Loan Party under Section 10.04. 
  
 (c) Performance of such Loan Party’s agreements as permitted under this
Section 9.05 shall in no way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each Loan Party hereby waives applicability thereof. Moreover, the Administrative Agent shall in no way be responsible for
the payment of any costs incurred in connection with preserving or disposing of Collateral pursuant to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Collateral may not be charged for the incurrence of any such cost. 
  
 Section 9.06 The Administrative Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers
conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property. 
  
 (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent may from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to all or
any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Administrative Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the 

  

 98 








 
security interest granted in such Collateral by each Loan Party hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such
Subagent, in addition to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Loan Party, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Administrative Agent,
with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Administrative Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to
the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 9.07 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (a) Subject to and in accordance with the DIP Financing Orders, the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require
each Loan Party to, and each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the
Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below or in the DIP Financing Orders, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially
reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Loan Parties where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to such Loan Party in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Loan Parties under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Loan Party to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Accounts, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the
withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section
9-607 of the UCC. Each Loan Party agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Loan Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made
shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
  

 99 








 (b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash proceeds
received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.08) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties
against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner: 
  
 (i) first, paid ratably to each Agent for any amounts then owing to such Agent pursuant to Section 10.04 or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and 
  
 (ii) second, ratably (A) paid to the Lender Parties for any amounts then owing to them, in their
capacities as such, under the Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to such Lender Parties and (B) deposited as Collateral in the L/C Cash Collateral Account up to an amount equal to 110% of the aggregate
Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that in the event that any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the L/C Cash
Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, provided further that, to the extent that any such Letter of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result thereof the amount of the Collateral in the L/C Cash
Collateral Account shall exceed 110% of the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the remaining order of priority set out in this Section
9.07(b). 
  
 Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or
on the behalf of the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations which are not then due and payable) shall be forthwith paid over to the applicable Loan
Party or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 (c) All payments received by any Loan Party under or in connection with the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and after the occurrence, continuance and declaration of
an Event of Default, shall be segregated from other funds of such Loan Party and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Loan
Party except as required by law or by the DIP Financing Orders and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in
any other deposit account. 
  
 (e) In the event
of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Loan Party, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such 

  

 100 








 
sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Loan Party shall supply to the Administrative Agent or its designee such Loan Party’s
know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Loan Party’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual
Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Loan Party. 
  
 (f) The Administrative Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.07, to
deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Pledged Collateral any information in its possession relating to such Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (g) To the extent that any rights and remedies under this Section 9.07 would otherwise be in violation of the automatic stay of section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code, such stay shall be deemed modified, as set forth in the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise such rights and remedies. 
  
 Section 9.08 Modifications. (a) The Liens, lien priority,
administrative priorities and other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the DIP Financing Orders (specifically, including, but not limited to, the existence,
perfection and priority of the Liens provided herein and therein and the administrative priority provided herein and therein) shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of
Debt by any of the Loan Parties (pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), or by any dismissal or conversion of any of the Cases, or by any other act or omission whatsoever (other than in connection with any disposition permitted
hereunder). Without limitation, notwithstanding any such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or omission: 
  
 (i) except for the Carve-Out having priority over the Secured Obligations, no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may
be incurred in any of the Cases or any conversion of the same or in any other proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on a parity with any claim of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Loan
Parties in respect of any Obligation; 
  
 (ii)
the liens and security interests granted herein and in the DIP Financing Orders shall constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests (subject only to (A) the Carve-Out, (B) valid and perfected liens, (C) Permitted Liens
in existence on the Petition Date and junior to such valid and perfected Liens and (D) only to the extent such post-petition perfection is expressly permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, valid, nonavoidable and enforceable Liens existing as of the
Petition Date, but perfected after the Petition Date, in accordance with subsections 364(c)(2) and (3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be prior to all other Liens and security interests (other than those set forth in sub-clauses (A)
through (D) herein), now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever; and 
  

 101 








 (iii) the liens and security interests granted hereunder shall continue valid and
perfected without the necessity that financing statements be filed or that any other action be taken under applicable nonbankruptcy law. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any failure on the part of any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the
liens and security interests in the Collateral granted hereunder, the Interim Order and the Final Order (when entered) shall automatically, and without further action by any Person, perfect such liens and security interests against the Collateral.

  
 Section 9.09 Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale,
lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), the Administrative Agent will, at such Loan
Party’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided,
however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Loan Party shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the
proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price thereof and any expenses in connection
therewith, together with a form of release for execution by the Administrative Agent and a certificate of such Loan Party to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Administrative
Agent may request, (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.06 shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made
to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Administrative Agent when and as required under Section 2.06, and (iv) in the case of Collateral sold or disposed of, the release of a Lien created hereby will not be effective until the receipt by
the Administrative Agent of the Net Cash Proceeds arising from the sale or disposition of such Collateral. 
  
 (b) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations which are not then
due and payable), (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Loan Party.
Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Loan Party’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
  
 Section 9.10. FCC and PUC Approval. Notwithstanding anything contained
elsewhere herein, the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that may require approval by the Federal Communications Commission or a Public Utility Commission shall be
subject to obtaining such approval. Pending the receipt of any approval by the Federal Communications Commission or a Public Utility Commission, no Loan Party shall delay, hinder, interfere with or obstruct the exercise of the Administrative
Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or remedies hereunder or the obtaining of such approvals.

Article II, III or VII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to be

 Section 10.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  
 Section 10.04 Costs, Fees and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Initial Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of
this Agreement (which shall be deemed to include any predecessor transaction contemplated to be entered into with the Initial Lenders) and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and
thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the monitoring of, and participation in, all aspects of
the Cases), including all fees, expenses and disbursements of one joint outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Initial Lenders, and (ii) to pay or reimburse the Initial Lenders (including, without limitation, CUSA in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (A) the ongoing maintenance and monitoring of Borrowing Base Availability and (B) enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law), including all fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel for the Initial Lenders (including, without limitation, CUSA in its capacity as Administrative Agent). The foregoing fees, costs and expenses shall include all search, filing,
recording, title insurance, collateral review, monitoring, and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Initial Lenders and the cost of independent public accountants and other
outside experts retained jointly by the Initial Lenders. All amounts due under this Section 10.04(a) shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and
repayment of all other Obligations. 
  
 (b) Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact and
representatives (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several that may be
incurred by, or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto arising out of or in


  

 105 








 
connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any
refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of Environmental Laws, or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or
threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or
arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 10.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, any security holders or creditors of the foregoing, an Indemnitee or any
other Person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. No Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower
or any of its subsidiaries or any security holders or creditors of the foregoing for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or
other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 10.04(b) shall be payable within two Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
  
 (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the
account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01
or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise,
the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to 

  

 106 








 
compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such
failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender
Party to fund or maintain such Advance. 
  
 Section 10.05 Right
of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and
payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender Party and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes (if any) held by such Lender Party, irrespective of whether such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Lender Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender Party and its respective
Affiliates may have. 
  
 Section 10.06 Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Guarantors, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and the Initial L/C Issuer. 
  
 Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii)
by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Advances) at the time owing to it; provided
that (i) except in the case of an assignment of 

  

 107 








 
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned, (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer unless the Person that is the
proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, with a copy to the Borrower. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment). The assigning Lender shall forthwith surrender any Note it holds to be marked cancelled by the Borrower. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
  
 (c) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a 

  

 108 








 
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the Advances (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Advances) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.05 as though it were a
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is not a “United States Person” for
purposes of Section 7701 of the Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (f) Any Lender may at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secured obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

  
 “Eligible Assignee” means
(a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided
that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  
 “Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 
  

 109 








 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Citibank assigns all of its Commitment and Advances pursuant to subsection
(b) above, Citibank may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer
hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Citibank as L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If Citibank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights
and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make L/C
Advances pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). 
  
 Section 10.08
Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 10.09 Confidentiality; Press Releases and Related Matters. (a)
No Agent or Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (i) to such Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential, need-to-know basis, (ii) as requested or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process or (iii) as requested or required by any
state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto and each party joining hereafter agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of any Lender or its
Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender and without the prior written consent of such Lender or unless (and only to the extent that) such party
or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such party or Affiliate will consult with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each party consents to
the publication by the Agents or any Lender Party of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Agents reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations such
necessary and customary information needed for inclusion in league table measurements. 
  
 Section 10.10 Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or
for recognition or 

  

 110 








 
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  
 Section 10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code.

Lender Parties irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Advances or the actions of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
