 SECTION 3.10. Taxes. 
  
 (a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other
Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any
taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising
solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits and
(iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (such non-excluded items being collectively called
“Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will: 
  
 (i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the
full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; 
  
 (ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and 
  
 (iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

  
 (b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay
any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any
Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate
successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not
subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall (x) deliver further copies 
  

 - 23 - 








 of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or
the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Lender, Participant or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or
Participant fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly
withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of
internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
  
 (d) Refunds. If the Agent or any Lender shall become aware that it is
entitled to a refund in respect of Taxes for which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after
receipt of a written request by the Borrower, apply for such refund at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Agent or any Lender shall receive a refund in respect of
any such Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall, within 30 days of receipt, pay such refund (to the extent of amounts
that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section with respect to such refund and not previously reimbursed) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Agent and without interest (other than the
interest, if any, included in such refund). 
  
 ARTICLE IV.
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC. 
  
 SECTION 4.1. Additional Costs;
Capital Adequacy. 
  
 (a) Additional Costs. The
Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to
its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or
such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any
Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts 
  

 - 24 - 








 payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or
its Commitment (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii)
imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of
liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy). 
  
 (b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the
effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of
deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes
LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to
make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply). 
  
 (c) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the
Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as
practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower
(and in the case of a Lender to the Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory
Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. 
  
 SECTION 4.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Rate for any Interest Period: 
  
 (a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination
shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBO Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest
for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBO Rate; or 
  

 - 25 - 








 (b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the
relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBO Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or
maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period; 
  
 then the Agent shall give
the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and
the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 SECTION 4.3. Illegality. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue,
or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable). 
  
 SECTION 4.4. Compensation. 
  
 The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for account of a Lender, upon the
request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to: 
  
 (a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or
optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
  
 (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including,
without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or
Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation. 
  
 Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest
Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if the LIBO Rate were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or 
  

 - 26 - 








 Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable,
calculating present value by using as a discount rate the LIBO Rate quoted on such date. Upon Borrower’s request (made through the Agent), any Lender seeking compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting
forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 SECTION 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans. 
  
 If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(b) or Section 4.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a
Conversion required by Section 4.1.(b) or Section 4.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 4.1. or Section 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist: 
  
 (a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its
Base Rate Loans; and 
  
 (b) all Loans that would otherwise be
made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 
  
 If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that
the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a
time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent
necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

 
 SECTION 4.6. Change of Lending Office. 
  
 Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an
alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

 SECTION 8.4. Rights Cumulative. 
  
 The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In
exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right. 
  
 SECTION 8.5. Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders. 
  
 If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears

specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction
of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of 
  

 - 38 - 








 the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of
the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied. 
  
 ARTICLE IX. THE AGENT 
  
 SECTION 9.1. Appointment and Authorization. 
  
 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set
forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those
expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section
7.1. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any
other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all
Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or
refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. 
  

 - 39 - 








 SECTION 9.2. Wells Fargo as Lender. 
  
 Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and
its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services
in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders except as expressly stated otherwise herein. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under
no obligation to provide such information to them. 
  
 SECTION
9.3. Approvals of the Lenders. 
  
 All communications from
the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which
such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall
include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved,
and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent
(together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such
communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. 
  
 SECTION 9.4. Notice of Defaults. 
  
 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as
the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Lenders. 
  

 - 40 - 








 SECTION 9.5. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the
Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other
Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire
as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or
other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any
liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e)
shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be
genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 SECTION 9.6. Indemnification of the Agent. 
  
 Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender severally agrees to
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not
as a “Lender”) in 
  

 - 41 - 








 any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be
deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Agent) actually incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit
or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent
and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount
following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. 
  
 SECTION 9.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc. 
  
 Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the
Guarantors, the other Loan Parties and their affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other
Lender or counsel to the Agent, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the other Loan Parties and their affiliates, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the
advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or 
  

 - 42 - 








 responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate which may come into possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, the Agents, attorneys-in-fact or
other affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 9.8. Successor Agent. 
  
 The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents for gross negligence or wilfull misconduct by all Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent) upon 30-day’s prior
notice. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (which, in the case of the removal of the Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be determined without regard to the Commitment of the Lender then acting as
Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that
the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the current Agent, then the current Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall
be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Agent, and the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions
of this Article shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and
duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. 
  
 SECTION 9.9. Titled Agents. 
  
 The Sole Lead Arranger in such capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or
collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The title given to the Sole Lead Arranger is solely honorific and implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Sole Lead Arranger to the Agent, any
Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such title does not impose on the Sole Lead Arranger any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Sole Lead Arranger to any rights other than those to
which any other Lender is entitled.

the Borrower. The Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of any documents delivered electronically, and in no event shall have any responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such
request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents. 
  

SECTION 10.2. No Waivers. 
  
 No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law. 
  
 SECTION 10.3.
Expenses. 
  
 The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all
present and future reasonable expenses of:

way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent or any Lender actually incurred and of experts and other
consultants retained by the Agent or any Lender in connection therewith; 
  
 (f) the Agent and each of the Lenders, after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy granted to it under this Agreement, the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent or any Lender actually incurred; 
  
 (g) the Agent in connection with costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in gaining possession of, maintaining, appraising, selling, preparing for sale

the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and any Lender actually incurred in connection with the representation of the Agent or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any such proceeding, including without
limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Agent or such Lender and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any plan of
reorganization of the Borrower, whether proposed by the Borrower, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any
such proceeding. 
  
 SECTION 10.4. Stamp, Intangible and
Recording Taxes. 
  
 The Borrower agrees to pay any and all
stamp, intangible, registration, recordation and similar taxes, fees or charges and shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such
taxes, fees or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any
rights or Liens thereunder. 
  
 SECTION 10.5.
Indemnification. 
  
 The Borrower shall and hereby agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, the agents and employees from and against (a) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses
incurred by any of them (except to the extent that it results from their own gross 
  

 - 46 - 








 negligence or willful misconduct) arising out of or by reason of any litigation, investigations, claims or proceedings
which arise out of or are in any way related to: (i) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of Loans; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; or (iv) the Agent’s or the
Lenders’ entering into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreements and documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in connection with any such litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection with any of the foregoing and (b) any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses incurred in
connection with any remedial or other similar action taken by the Borrower, the Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with the required compliance by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, with any
federal, state or local Environmental Laws or other material environmental rules, regulations, orders, directions, ordinances, criteria or guidelines. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any
reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. The Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of its other obligations set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10.6. Setoff. 
  
 Subject to Section 3.4. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the
Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate
and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or
any affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to
be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 8.2., and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. 
  
 SECTION 10.7. Amendments and Waivers. 
  
 (a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in
any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Agent) may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or 
  

 - 47 - 








 prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Agent at the written direction
of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. 
  
 (b) Certain Requisite Lender Consents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by the
Requisite Lenders (which must include the Lender then acting as Agent) or the Agent at the written direction of such Requisite Lenders, do any of the following: 
  
 (i) amend Section 9.2. or 9.7. of the Existing Credit Agreement incorporated herein by reference or waive
any Default or Event of Default occurring under Section 8.1. resulting from a violation of either such Section; or 
  
 (ii) modify the definitions of the terms “Borrowing Base”, “Total Liabilities”, “Gross Asset Value”,
“Unencumbered Pool Value”, “Unencumbered NOI” or “Indebtedness” (or the definitions used in such definition or the percentages or rates used in the calculation thereof) to the extent incorporated herein by reference.

  
 (c) Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Agent at the written direction of all of the Lenders), do any of the following: 
  
 (i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of
Commitments permitted under Section 10.8.) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; 
  
 (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any
Loans or other Obligations; 
  
 (iii) reduce the
amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder; 
  
 (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations; 
  
 (v) change the Pro Rata Shares (excluding any change as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 10.8.;);

  
 (vi) amend this Section or amend the
definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section; 
  
 (vii) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the
Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof; 
  
 (viii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated under Section 7.3.(d); or 
  

 - 48 - 








 (ix) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1.(a). 
  
 (d) Amendment of Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or
consent unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to
or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay
or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of
Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as
otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 SECTION 10.8. Successors and Assigns. 
  
 (a) 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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders
(and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void). 
  
 (b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.6., no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with
the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii)
reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted
in accordance with this subsection (b). 
  
 (c)
Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower (which consent in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign 
  

 - 49 - 








 to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Event of Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender; (ii) any
partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding
principal balance, of at least $10,000,000; (iii) after giving effect to any such assignment by the Agent, the Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall retain a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, hold Notes having an aggregate
outstanding principal balance, greater than or equal to the Commitment of each other Lender (other than any Lender whose Commitment has increased as a result of a merger or combination with another Lender); and (iv) each such assignment shall be
effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and
such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall
be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the
Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for
processing such assignment in the amount of $3,000. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective
affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  
 (d) Federal Reserve Bank
Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time
and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. To
facilitate any such pledge or assignment, Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Operating Circular No 10, as amended from time to time. 
  
 (e)
Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective
Assignees and Participants). 
  
 SECTION 10.9. Governing
Law. 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO CONTACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 
  

 - 50 - 








 SECTION 10.10. USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. 
  
 The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations
issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, the
Agent or a Lender may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower shall provide to the Agent or such Lender, the name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
as shall be necessary for the Agent or such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a
loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product. 
  
 SECTION 10.11. Litigation. 
  
 (a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND THAT A TRIAL BY JURY COULD RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT DELAY AND EXPENSE. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN
WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST THE BORROWER ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF LENDERS OF ANY
KIND OR NATURE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
  
 (b)
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, SHALL HAVE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY
CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. THE BORROWER AND THE PARENT EACH
EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER
OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. FURTHER, THE BORROWER AND THE PARENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
  

 - 51 - 








 (c) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 SECTION 10.12. Confidentiality. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any
of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (b) as reasonably required by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with
the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required by any Governmental
Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); and
(e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10.13. Counterparts; Integration. 
  
 This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and
supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
  
 SECTION 10.14. Invalid Provisions. 
  
 Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable shall not
invalidate the remaining provisions of such Loan Document which shall remain in full force and effect and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held invalid or illegal. 
  
 SECTION 10.15. Existing Credit Agreement Provisions. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower, the Parent, the Agent and the Lenders
hereby agree that on or after the Agreement Date any amendment to, or waiver of, (i) the Existing Credit Agreement Representations, (ii) the 
  

 - 52 - 








 Existing Credit Agreement Defaults or (iii) the covenants from the Existing Credit Agreement referred to in Section 7.4.,
which has been consented to by the Requisite Lenders, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and shall become effective hereunder when such amendment or waiver becomes effective thereunder, without any further action necessary by the
Borrower, the Parent, the Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall occur as a result of a breach of any term or provision of the Existing Credit Agreement that is not
incorporated into this Agreement and such Event of Default shall be waived by the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, then the occurrence of such Event of Default shall not, in and of itself, cause an Event
of Default hereunder. Any such amendment or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Borrowers agree to provide promptly the Agent and each Lender with a copy of such amendment or
waiver. 
  
 (b) The Existing Credit Agreement Representations, the
Existing Credit Agreement Defaults and the covenants from the Existing Credit Agreement referred to in Section 7.4. incorporated herein by reference and any definitions or other terms or provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement incorporated
herein by reference, will be deemed to continue in effect for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, whether or not the Existing Credit Agreement
remains in effect or whether or not the Existing Credit Agreement is amended, restated or terminated after the date hereof. For purposes of the foregoing, (i) references in the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement incorporated herein by
reference to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to refer to the Borrower; (ii) references therein to the “Agent,” “Lenders” and “Lender” shall be deemed to refer to the Agent, the Lenders and a Lender,
respectively; and (iii) the terms “Agreement,” “hereto” and “hereof” when used in the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement incorporated herein by referenced shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement.
