            CREDIT AGREEMENT

            This CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 22, 2020, by and among AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and each individually, a “Lender”) and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the administrative agent for the Lenders.

            W I T N E S S E T H:

            WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower, a $200,000,000 term loan facility upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to be used by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for working capital, general corporate purposes and capital expenditures;

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

            ARTICLE I

            THE CREDITS

            Section 1.1Amounts and Terms of Commitments.

            (a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make term loans (each such loan, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Commitment, following proper delivery of a Loan Notice pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof.

            (b)The obligations of each Lender to make Loans to the Borrower shall equal its Commitment; provided that no Lender’s Loan to the Borrower shall exceed its Commitment.  The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Loans hereunder after the Closing Date, and any portion of the Commitments not drawn on the Closing Date shall automatically expire.  The Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a mandatory prepayment) and reborrow under this Agreement.

            (c)The Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

            Section 1.2Notes.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns.

            Section 1.3Interest.

            (a)Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be

        
            

                

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

             conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days.  All other computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

            (b)Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 1.8 shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due.

            (c)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default is cured or waived, each Obligation and other amounts due hereunder (in each case whether or not overdue) shall bear interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Base Rate Loans (i.e. the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin) plus an additional two percent (2.00%) from the date of such Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the date when such amount owed is paid in full in cash and (ii) the date the Event of Default is cured or waived.  The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this clause (c) reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by the Agent.

            (d)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

            Section 1.4Loan Accounts.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans 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 Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

            Section 1.5Procedure for Borrowing; Conversions, Continuations.

            (a)The Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s 

        
            

                -2-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            irrevocable notice to the Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone (except in the case of the Borrowing on the Closing Date) or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Agent of a Loan Notice; provided further Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation.  Each such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. eastern time (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of (in the case of the Closing Date only), conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of (in the case of the Closing Date only) Base Rate Loans and (iii) the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans.  Each Loan Notice given pursuant to this Section 1.5 must be appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $5,000,000.  Each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000.  Each Loan Notice shall be irrevocable.  Each Loan Notice and each telephonic notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing (in the case of the Closing Date only), a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed (in the case of the Closing Date only), converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed (in the case of the Closing Date only) or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of (in the case of the Closing Date only), conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Except to the extent the Agent and Lenders shall have received an indemnification substantially consistent with the terms of Section 10.4 in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, any Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans.

            (b)Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the requested conversion or continuation, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 1.5(a).  In the case of the Borrowing on the Closing Date, subject to the terms of Section 1.1 and Section 2.2 hereof, each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment available to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Agent’s Office on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice such that the Agent is able to, and the Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose, fund such Loans to the Borrower in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Agent’s Office prior to 2:00 p.m. eastern time on the Closing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely manner, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Loans of such Lender on the Closing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 1.11(a) below.

            (c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity required under Section 10.4.

            (d)The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any

        
            

                -3-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

             time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

            (e)After giving effect to the Borrowing, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect.

            (f)Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.1, the proceeds of the Borrowing will be made available to the Borrower by the Agent by wire transfer of such amount to a deposit account of the Borrower specified by the Borrower.

            (g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Agent and such Lender.

            Section 1.6[Reserved].

            Section 1.7Optional Prepayments.

            (a)The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent pursuant to delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Loan(s) in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, (i) such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. eastern time (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans and (ii) optional partial prepayments of the Loans shall be in amounts not less than $1,000,000 and shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 1.10(c).  Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage).  All Notices of Loan Prepayment shall be irrevocable.  The principal amount of the Loans for which a Notice of Loan Prepayment is given, together with interest on such principal amount and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such Notice of Loan Prepayment as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made.

            (b)Subject to Section 1.13, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

            Section 1.8Mandatory Prepayments.

            (a)Payment on Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the principal amount of all of the Loans on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder.

            (b)Federal Income Tax Refund Claims.  Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any and all refunds, credits, money or other proceeds (the “Tax Refunds”) arising from, related to or connected with the Federal Income Tax Refund Claims, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax Refunds, together with accrued

        
            

                -4-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

             interest on such principal amount, and until the date of such payment, such Tax Refunds shall be held in trust for the Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of breakage costs under Section 10.4 in the case of prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans other than on the last day of the relevant Interest Period shall not be required in connection with mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this subsection (b).

            (c)Application of Prepayments.  Subject to subsection 1.10(c), any prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 1.7  or this Section 1.8 shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining.

            Section 1.9Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to (i) the Agent, for the Agent’s own account and/or for the account of the Lenders (including the Agent), as applicable, and (ii) the Lead Arranger, for the Lead Arranger’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in a letter agreement between the Borrower, the Agent and the Lead Arranger dated as of April 24, 2020 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letter”).

            Section 1.10Payments by the Borrower.

            (a)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be payable prior to 2:00 p.m. eastern time on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or other deduction of any kind, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.  Such payments shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to the Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the Agent’s Office, including payments utilizing the ACH system, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder).  Subject to Section 1.13, the Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  Any payment which is received by the Agent later than 2:00 p.m. eastern time may in the Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation.

            (b)Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder 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 interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day.

            (c)During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders, apply any and all payments received by the Agent in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clauses first through sixth below.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), shall be applied as follows:

            first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of the Agent payable or reimbursable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents;

            second, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of Lenders payable or reimbursable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents;

        
            

                -5-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to the Agent and the Lenders;

            fourth, to payment of principal of the Obligations;

            fifth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

            sixth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

            In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses third, fourth and fifth above.

            Section 1.11Payments by the Lenders to Agent; Settlement.

            (a)Funding by Lenders; Presumptions by Agent.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon eastern time on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available on such date in accordance with Section 1.5(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

            (b)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under subsection (a) or this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

        
            

                -6-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article I, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article II are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

            (d)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.8 are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, or to make any payment under Section 8.8 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loans, or to make its payment under Section 8.8.

            (e)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

            (f)Insufficient Funds.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied, subject to Section 1.10(c), (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

            (g)Procedures.  Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each other Lender to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized, but not shall not be obligated, to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion on, the Platform.

            Section 1.12[Reserved].

            Section 1.13Defaulting Lenders.

            (a)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

            (i)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 9.1.

            (ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.10 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the

        
            

                -7-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

             Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

            (iii)Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 1.9 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

            (b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

            ARTICLE III

            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            The Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that the following are, and will be, true, correct and complete:

            Section 3.1Financial Condition.  

        
            

                -10-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (a)The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2019 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Year ended on such date, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by BDO USA LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Agent, are complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended.

            (b)All such financial statements referenced in clause (a) of this Section 3.1, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such Responsible Officer, and as disclosed therein).  Neither the Borrower nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to in clause (a) of this Section 3.1, any material guarantee obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other financial derivative, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.  During the period from March 31, 2019 to and including the date hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any Stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries at March 31, 2019.

            (c)The Borrower has delivered to the Agent a summary of quarterly pro forma projected financial statements (including, without limitation, a pro forma statement of operations together with a detailed explanation of the assumptions used in preparing such projected financial statements) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2021 derived from various assumptions of the Borrower’s management (the “Projections”).  The Projections reflect reasonable estimates and assumptions of possible results in light of the history of the business, present and foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the Borrower’s management, it being understood that such Projections are (i) as to future events and not to be viewed as facts, (ii) are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control and (iii) no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized.

            (d)No Hazardous Materials are located in, on or under, or have been handled, generated, stored, treated, disposed, transported, processed, released or discharged by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or, to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ best knowledge, after due inquiry and investigation, by any other Person, at, to or from any properties currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, except for those substances used by Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business in compliance with all Environmental Laws and as could not reasonably expected to give rise to material liability under Environmental Laws; and

        
            

                -13-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (e)The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received no notice of, and to the best of their knowledge and belief there exists no investigation, action, proceeding, claim, notice of violation, request for information, consent decree, consent order, administrative order or other order by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party which could result in any material liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any Environmental Laws with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, nor do the Borrower and its Subsidiaries know of any basis for any of the foregoing.

The present value of all accrued benefits under each Pension Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Pension Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits.  The Borrower has not incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.  Borrower has no knowledge of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan.    Except to the extent that any such excess could not have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates for post-retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under employee welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) other than such liability disclosed in the financial statements of the Borrower does not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all such plans allocable to such benefits.  The Borrower has not engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code in connection with any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that would subject the Borrower to liability under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except for fees payable to the Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s, broker’s or investment banker’s fee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

There is no fact known to the Borrower which materially adversely affects the business, property, assets, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower which has not been disclosed in the public filings of the Borrower prior to the date hereof or specified in this Agreement or in the certificates, statements, agreements or other documents furnished in writing to the Agent and the Lenders prior to or at the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

            Section 3.21OFAC.

            (c)Limited Duties.  Under the Loan Documents, the Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except to the limited extent provided in subsection 9.8(c) with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent” and “Agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to the Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only and as a matter of market custom, and are intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Person (regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

            Section 8.3Use of Discretion.

            (a)The Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law; including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

            (b)The Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

            Section 8.4Delegation of Rights and Duties.  The Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co agent, employee, attorney in fact and any other Person (including any Lender).  Any such Person may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Related Persons.

            (b)None of the Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and the Borrower hereby waive and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:

            (i)shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 7.2 and 9.1) or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Agent, when acting on behalf of the Agent);

            (ii)shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document;

            (iv)shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire (A) as to the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement, term, condition or other provision of any Loan Document, (B) whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent), (C) as to the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (D) as to any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered in

             connection with any Loan Document or (E) as to the financial condition of the Borrower or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default, and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice in writing from the Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case the Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);

            and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

            (c)Each Lender (i) acknowledges that it has performed and will continue to perform its own diligence and has made and will continue to make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Borrower and (ii) agrees that is shall not rely on any audit or other report provided by the Agent or its Related Persons (an “Agent Report”).  Each Lender further acknowledges that any Agent Report (i) is provided to the Lenders solely as a courtesy, without consideration, and based upon the understanding that such Lender will not rely on such Agent Report, (ii) was prepared by the Agent or its Related Persons based upon information provided by the Borrower solely for the Agent’s own internal use, (iii) may not be complete and may not reflect all information and findings obtained by the Agent or its Related Persons regarding the operations and condition of the Borrower.  Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Persons makes any representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing, (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation, (iii) the scope or adequacy of the Agent’s and its Related Persons’ due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation, and (iv) any work performed by the Agent or the Agent’s Related Persons in connection with or using any Agent Report or any related documentation.

            (d)Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall have any duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of any Lender receiving a copy of any Agent Report. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, neither the Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall have any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any Agent Report, or the appropriateness of any Agent Report for any Lender’s purposes, and shall have no duty or responsibility to correct or update any Agent Report or disclose to any Lender any other information not embodied in any Agent Report, including any supplemental information obtained after the date of any Agent Report.  Each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against the Agent or its Related Persons that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its Related Persons from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender arising out of such Lender’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents.

The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, accept deposits from, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity to, engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or Affiliates thereof as though it were not acting as the Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor.  To the extent the Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, the Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders.

            Section 8.7Lender Credit Decision.

            (a)Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.  Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that may come in to the possession of the Agent or any of its Related Persons.

            (b)If any Lender has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates, such Lender acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, the Agent and/or the Borrower will, from time to time, make available syndicate information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to the Agent and the Borrower upon request therefor by the Agent or the Borrower.  Notwithstanding such Lender’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender acknowledges that if such Lender chooses to communicate with the Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates.

            Section 8.8Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding.

            (a)Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, the Borrower) that may be incurred by the Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, syndication, negotiation, execution, delivery, interpretation, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any workout, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

            (b)Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof)  and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including, to the extent not indemnified pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(ii), Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any related document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the

            gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment or order.

            Section 8.9Resignation of Agent.

            (a)The Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9.  If the Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders.  Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

            (b)Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as the Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.4, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as the Agent under the Loan Documents.  Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as the Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

            Section 8.10Collateral Matters.

            (a)Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the Maturity Date, or (ii) subject to Section 9.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders).  Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.10.

            (b)The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

            Section 8.11No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism law or any anti-corruption law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower or its Affiliates or its agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity

            verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

            Section 8.12Certain ERISA Matters.

            (a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true: such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

            (ii)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,

            (iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

            (iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

            (b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

            (b)No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

            (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, (A) the Agent may amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.8, and (B) the Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein.

            Section 9.2Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

            (a)Notices Generally.  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by fax transmission or e-mail transmission as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

            Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by fax transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient).  Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

             

            (b)Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, FPML messaging and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article I if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

            Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement) and (ii) notices and other communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received by the intended recipient upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail

            address or other written acknowledgement) indicating that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

             

            (c)The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

            (d)Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrower and the Agent may change its address, fax number or telephone number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, fax number or telephone number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Agent.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Agent from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

            (e)Reliance by Agent and Lenders.  The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including, without limitation, telephonic or electronic notices, Loan Notices and Notices of Loan Prepayment) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

            Section 9.3Electronic Execution.

                -36-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

             accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further, without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of the Agent, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

            Section 9.4No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  No course of dealing between the Borrower, any Affiliate of thereof, the Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

            Section 9.5Costs and Expenses.  Any action taken by the Borrower under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders, shall be at the expense of the Borrower, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse the Borrower or any Subsidiary of thereof therefor except as expressly provided therein.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Agent and the Lead Arranger for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons, in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or engagement letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (in each case, whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated); (b) the Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews; (c) each of the Agent and its Related Persons for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation or any other related right or remedy, (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceeding) related to the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including Attorney Costs, and (iv) and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (in each case under this clause (c), whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated); and (d) fees and disbursements of Attorney Costs of one law firm on behalf of all Lenders (other than the Agent) incurred in connection with any of the matters referred to in clause (c) above.

            Section 9.6Indemnity.

            (a)The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Agent, the Lead Arranger and each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any securities filing of, or with respect to, the Borrower, (ii) any commitment letter, engagement letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Affiliate of thereof in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any Platform or other electronic transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of 

        
            

                -37-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 9.6 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non appealable judgment or order.  Furthermore, the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

            (b)Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of the Borrower or any Related Person of the Borrower or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of the Borrower or any Related Person of the Borrower, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any Related Person of the Borrower or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by the Agent or following the Agent or any Lender having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any Related Person of the Borrower and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

            Section 9.7[Reserved].

            Section 9.8Successors and Assigns.

            (a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  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 the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.8(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.8(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.8(f) (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 Related Persons of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

            (b)Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

            (i)Minimum Amounts.

        
            

                -38-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (1)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

            (2)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(1) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Trade Date”, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

            (ii)Proportionate Amounts.  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 Loans or the Commitment assigned;

            (iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(2) of this Section and, in addition:

            (1)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

            (2)the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

            (iv)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

            (v)No Assignment to Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

        
            

                -39-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for, the primary benefit of a natural person).

            (vii)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto specified herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its pro rata share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

            Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 8.8, 9.5, 9.6, 10.1, 10.3 and 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  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 Section 9.8(d).

            (c)Register.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the 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 and stated interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall 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)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for, the primary benefit of a natural person) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its 

        
            

                -40-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            Commitment and/or the Loans 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 Agent, and the 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 9.1 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.1, 10.3 and 10.4, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.8(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.10(a) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.10(b) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of and stated interest on each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

            (e)Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 10.1 or 10.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.1 unless such Participant provides the documentation required by Section 10.1(e) to the participating Lender.

            (f)Certain Pledges.  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 secure 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.

            Section 9.9Non Public Information; Confidentiality.

            (a)Non Public Information.  The Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).

            (b)Confidential Information.  So long as the Loans are outstanding and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Lenders and the Agent agree to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any 

        
            

                -41-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            Loan Document and designated in writing by the Borrower as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.9 or (B) available to such Lender or the Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than the Borrower) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify the Borrower, (vii) to current or prospective assignees or participants and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.9 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or the Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by the Borrower or its Related Persons referring to a Lender or the Agent or any of their Related Persons.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.9 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with the Borrower (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.9 shall govern.

            (c)Tombstones.  The Borrower consents to the publication by the Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using the Borrower’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.  The Lead Arranger, the Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to the Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, tombstones referencing the syndication and arrangement of the credit facility, or inclusion of the credit facility on lists or in other formats, in each case providing the same information as is typically included on tombstones shall not require prior notice thereof to, or acceptance by, the Borrower if such information is utilized by the Agent or the Lead Arranger for internal or external purposes.

            (d)Press Release and Related Matters.  The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of the Borrower) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to the Agent, the Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Agent or the Lead Arranger is a party without the prior consent of the Agent or the Lead Arranger, as applicable, except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with the Agent or the Lead Arranger, as applicable.

            (e)Distribution of Materials to Lenders.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Borrower (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, the Agent, and made available, to the Lenders by posting such Borrower Materials on IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  The Borrower authorizes the Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on the Platform.

            (f)Material Non Public Information.  The Borrower hereby agrees that if either it, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Borrower has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the U.S., it shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”.  The Borrower agrees that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws.  The Borrower further represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI:  (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Borrower or the Agent (including, Loan Notices and any similar requests or notices posted on or through the Platform).  Before distribution of any Borrower Materials, the Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.

            Section 9.10Set off; Sharing of Payments.

            (a)Right of Setoff.  Each of the Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) and any participant of such Lender or Affiliate which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.10(b) is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or participants to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any Obligation of the Borrower now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured.  No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of the Agent or the Required Lenders. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates or participants; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights under this Section 9.10 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and participants, may have.

            (b)Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of the Borrower (whether voluntary or involuntary) other than pursuant to Section 9.10 or Article X, and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  If a Defaulting Lender receives any

            such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent for application in accordance with the terms of Section 1.13(a)(ii) hereof.

            Section 9.11Counterparts; Facsimile Signature.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

            Section 9.12Severability.

            Section 9.15Interpretation.  This Agreement is the result of negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsel to the Borrower, the Agent, each Lender and other parties hereto, and is the product of all parties hereto.  Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Lenders or the Agent merely because of the Agent’s or the Lenders’ involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto has had the advice of counsel with respect to Sections 9.18 and 9.19.

            Section 9.16No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

            Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall limit the right of the Agent or any Lender to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any other jurisdiction to the extent the Agent or the Lender, as applicable, determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.  The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

            (c)Service of Process.

            Section 9.18Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.  THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

            Section 9.19Entire Agreement; Release; Survival.

            (a)THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND ANY PRIOR LETTER OF INTEREST, COMMITMENT LETTER, ENGAGEMENT LETTER, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS INVOLVING THE BORROWER AND ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT OTHER THAN THE FEE LETTER.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN (UNLESS SUCH TERMS OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY THEREWITH).

            (b)Execution of this Agreement by the Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which the Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all 

        
            

                -45-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

            (c)(i) Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.19, Sections 9.5 and 9.6 and Articles VIII and X and (ii) solely for the two (2) year time period specified therein, the provisions of Section 9.9, inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

            Section 9.20Patriot Act.  The Agent and each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

            Section 9.21Replacement of Lender.  Within forty five (45) days after: (i) receipt by the Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender that is not Agent or an Affiliate of Agent (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.4; or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, the Borrower may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender (or such defaulting or non consenting Lender, as the case may be) of the Borrower’s intention to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such defaulting or non consenting Lender, as the case may be), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent.  In the event the Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within forty five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or defaulting or non consenting Lender, as the case may be) shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.  In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 9.8 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.21 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment and Assumption evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.21, the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.21 and Section 9.8.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or Agent may obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Defaulting Lender at any time and without prior notice to such Defaulting Lender and cause its Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned at par.  Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.8, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

            Section 9.22Duration; Survival.  All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the transactions hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date.  All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of

All other covenants and agreements of the Borrower shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date and until the Maturity Date.

            Section 9.23  [Reserved].

            Section 9.24Actions in Concert.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against the Borrower arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

            Section 9.25Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

            (a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

            (b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

            (i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

            (ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

            (iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

            TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

            Section 10.1Taxes.

            (a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

            (i)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, 

        
            

                -47-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            however, applicable Laws require the Borrower or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Agent, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

            (ii)If the Borrower or the Agent shall be required by applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

            (b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

            (c)Tax Indemnifications.

            (i)Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Agent or paid or payable by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

            (ii)Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.8(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable 

        
            

                -48-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (c)(ii).

            (d)Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 10.1, the Borrower shall  deliver to the Agent or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.

            (e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

            (i)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

            (ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

            (A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

            (B)each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

            (1)executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

            (2)executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

        
            

                -49-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (3)executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

            (4)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), or

            (5)executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

            (iii)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subparagraph (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

            (iv)Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

            (f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the 

        
            

                -50-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

            Section 10.2Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

            Section 10.3Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

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

            (i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

            (ii)subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 10.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

            (iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender;

            and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

        
            

                -51-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            (b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

            (c)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

            Section 10.4Funding Losses.  In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 10.1 or 10.3, upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

            (a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

            (b)any attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Notice under Section 1.5 or notice relating to prepayments under Section 1.7;

            (c)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

            (d)any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.21;

            including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

            If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, 

        
            

                -52-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. 

            Section 10.5Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof (a) the Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determine the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

            Section 10.6Certificates of Lenders.  Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) days after such notice is given.

            Section 10.7Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

            (a)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event has occurred, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement; and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, each advance, conversion to and renewal of a Eurodollar Rate Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the Eurodollar Rate; provided, however, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any pending selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Eurodollar Rate Loan that has not yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a selection of, conversion to or renewal of Base Rate Loans, (ii) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if the Agent cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Eurodollar Rate Loan) and (iii) the component of the Base Rate based upon the Eurodollar Rate will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

            (b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement 

        
            

                -53-

            

        

        

        
        
            

        

            Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

            (c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.7 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 10.7.

            “Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the Eurodollar Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than zero, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

            “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the Eurodollar Rate with an alternate benchmark rate for each applicable Interest Period, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower (a) giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the Eurodollar Rate with the applicable Benchmark Replacement (excluding such spread adjustment) by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such replacement of the Eurodollar Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities at such time and (b) which may also reflect adjustments to account for (i) the effects of the transition from the Eurodollar Rate to the Benchmark Replacement and (ii) yield- or risk-based differences between the Eurodollar Rate and the Benchmark Replacement.

            “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to Eurodollar Rate:

            (2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

            “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the Eurodollar Rate:

            (1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Eurodollar Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Eurodollar Rate;

            (2) a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Eurodollar Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Eurodollar Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Eurodollar Rate, which states that the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the Eurodollar Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Eurodollar Rate; or

            (3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent announcing that the Eurodollar Rate is no longer representative.

            “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Eurodollar Rate and solely to the extent that the Eurodollar Rate has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Eurodollar Rate for all purposes hereunder in accordance with this Section 10.7 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Eurodollar Rate for all purposes hereunder pursuant to this Section 10.7.

            “Early Opt-in Event” means a determination by the Agent that U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities being executed at such time, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 10.7, are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Eurodollar Rate.

            “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the NYFRB, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the NYFRB or any successor thereto.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, references to agreements and other contractual instruments, including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include such agreements, together with the schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto and all subsequent amendments thereto and restatements and substitutions thereof and other modifications and supplements thereto which are in effect from time to time, but only to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of any Loan Document.

            Section 11.3Accounting Terms and Principles.  All accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in accordance with GAAP.  No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by the Borrower shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of Article V or VI unless the Agent and the Required Lenders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in GAAP and, unless such provisions are modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Article V and Article VI shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower at “fair value.”  A breach of a financial covenant contained in Article VI shall be deemed to have occurred as of any date of determination by Agent or as of the last day of any specified measurement period, regardless of when the financial statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent.

            The Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by the Borrower.  Any such determination or redetermination by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  No determination or redetermination by any Lender or the Borrower and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of the Borrower or of any Lender (other than the Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted.  The Agent may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.

            Section 11.5LIBOR Notification.  Section 10.7 of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.
