1.1the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by the Loan Parties has been duly authorized, and this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity;
1.2the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by each Loan Party does not require any consent or approval of any governmental agency or authority (other than (i) any consent or approval which has been obtained and is in full force and effect, or (ii) where the failure to obtain such consent would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect);
1.3after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, in which case that representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) with the same effect as if then made (except to the extent stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case that representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects or in all respects, as applicable, as of that earlier date); and
2










1.4after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment. 
Section 6Ratification and Reaffirmation.  Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, in each case, as amended prior to the date hereof and as amended hereby, each of which shall remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms. In connection with the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents delivered herewith, each Loan Party, as borrower, debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, obligor or in other similar capacities in which such Loan Party grants liens or security interests in its properties or otherwise acts as an accommodation party, guarantor, obligor or indemnitor or in such other similar capacities, as the case may be, in any case under any Loan Documents, hereby (a) ratifies, reaffirms, confirms and continues all of its payment and performance and other obligations, including obligations to indemnify, guarantee, act as surety, or as principal obligor, in each case contingent or otherwise, under each of such Loan Documents to which it is a party, (b) ratifies, reaffirms, confirms and continues its grant of liens on, or security interests in, and assignments of its properties pursuant to such Loan Documents to which it is a party as security for the Obligations, and (c) confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests secure all of the Obligations.

This Amendment shall not constitute a course of dealing with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future.
Section 7    Miscellaneous.
1.1Signatures; Effect of Amendment.  By executing this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties is deemed to have executed the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, as a Borrower and a Loan Party (or, in the case of the Holdings Companies and the Guarantors, solely as a Loan Party).  All such Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Amendment in any manner or respect limits or terminates any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than as expressly set forth herein and further agree and acknowledge that the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and each of the other Loan Documents remain and continue in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed, and (b) other than as expressly set forth herein, the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests created under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and the Collateral secures and shall continue to secure the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and any other obligations and liabilities provided for under the Loan Documents.  Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any rights, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a novation of any of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement or obligations under the Loan Documents.  This Amendment does not extinguish the indebtedness or liabilities outstanding in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any of their respective rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof.  None of the terms and conditions of this Amendment may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner, whatsoever, except in accordance with Section 15.1 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2:COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING PROCEDURES.
1.1.Commitments.  On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make Loans to Borrowers as follows:
1.1.1Revolving Commitment.  Pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents, the Lenders have previously made the Existing Revolving Loans to the Borrowers.  As of the Closing Date, the aggregate balance of the Existing Revolving Loans is $1,500,000.00.  Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment agrees to continue to make loans to Borrowers on a revolving basis (each, including, for avoidance of doubt, each Existing Revolving Loan, a “Revolving Loan” and all such loans, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) from time to time until the Termination Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amounts that Borrower Representative requests from all Lenders; provided that the aggregate amount of all Revolving Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Lenders.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and re-borrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to borrow or re-borrow Revolving Loans from and after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date.  The Revolving Commitments of all Lenders shall expire on the Termination Date.  
1.1.2Term Loan Commitments.
(a)Existing Term Loans.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Existing Term Loans were made to the Borrowers pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents.  As of the Closing Date (prior to giving effect to the funding of the loans on the Closing Date and the use of the proceeds thereof), the aggregate balance of the Existing Term Loans is $74,062,500.00. All term loan commitments under any of the Existing Loan Documents have expired prior to the Closing Date.  
(b)Closing Date Term Loans.  Each Lender with a Closing Date Term Loan Commitment agrees to make a Term Loan to Borrowers on the Closing Date (each such loan, a “Closing Date Term Loan,” and, collectively with each other Closing Date Term Loan, the “Closing Date Term Loans”) in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Closing Date Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders.  Immediately upon the making of such Term Loans on the Closing Date, the Closing Date Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced to zero and terminated.
(c)Incremental Term Loans.  Any Incremental Term Loans shall be borrowed pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.7.
(d)Repayments.  Amounts repaid with respect to any of the Term Loans (including, without limitation, any of the Existing Term Loans, Closing Date Term Loans, or Incremental Term Loans) may not be reborrowed.
1.1.3L/C Commitment.  Subject to Section 2.3.1, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit, in each case containing terms and conditions that are permitted by this Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to that Issuing Lender (each, a “Letter of Credit”), at the request of Borrower Representative and for the account of Borrowers from time to time before the scheduled Termination 
41








Date and, as more fully set forth in Section 2.3.2, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment agrees to purchase a participation in each such Letter of Credit, but (a) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit may not at any time exceed $0.  
1.1.4No Novation.  It is the intent of the parties hereto that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not effectuate a novation of any of the Existing Loan Documents, or a release or discharge of any of the Existing Loans or the other Existing Obligations or any of the Existing Collateral or any other Collateral, but rather a substitution of certain of the terms governing the payment and performance of such obligations and indebtedness.
1.2.Loan Procedures.
1.1.1Various Types of Loans.  Each Loan may be divided into tranches which are, either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan (each, a “Type” of Loan), as Borrower Representative specifies in the related Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.3.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at the same time, but no more than three (3) different groups of Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time.  All borrowings, conversions, and repayments of Loans will be effected so that each Lender will have a ratable share (according to its Pro Rata Share) of all Types of Loans.
1.1.2Borrowing Procedures.
(a)Borrower Representative shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (each such written notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) to Administrative Agent and each Lender with an applicable Commitment of each proposed borrowing not later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of that borrowing (provided that such deadline may be waived in writing by Administrative Agent with the consent of all Lenders) and at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of that borrowing (in the case of Base Rate Loans).  Each such notice will be effective upon receipt by Administrative Agent, will be irrevocable, and must specify the date, amount, and Type of borrowing.  On the requested borrowing date, each Lender with an applicable Commitment shall provide Administrative Agent with immediately available funds covering that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that borrowing so long as the applicable Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12 with respect to that borrowing have not been satisfied.  After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of the applicable Loans from Lenders with applicable Commitments, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of those Loans available to Borrowers on the applicable borrowing date by transferring to Borrowers immediately available funds equal to the proceeds received by Administrative Agent.  Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day, and shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000.  Each Lender shall, upon request of Administrative Agent, deliver to Administrative Agent a list of all Loans made by such Lender, together with all information related thereto as Administrative Agent reasonably requests.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower Representative may not request, and 
42








Lenders shall not be required to fund, (i) any borrowing of any Loan that is not a LIBOR borrowing unless, subject to and as more particularly described in Section 8, LIBOR is unavailable or unlawful, or (ii) more than four (4) borrowings of Revolving Loans in any month.
(b)Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate borrowing of a Revolving Loan on the due date, in the amount of those Obligations.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligations.  In addition, Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge when and as due any Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of any Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 7.1.2, the Loan Account.
1.1.3Conversion Procedures.
(a)Subject to Section 2.2.1 and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower Representative may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2.3(b), elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any Loans (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $150,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000) into Loans of the other Type.  After giving effect to any prepayment or conversion, the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans must be at least $150,000 and an integral multiple of $50,000.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower Representative may not request the conversion of, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not be required to convert, any Loan that is LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan unless, subject to and as more particularly described in Section 8, LIBOR is unavailable or unlawful.
(b)Borrower Representative shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion) to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed date of that conversion, specifying in each case:
(i)the proposed date of conversion;
(ii)the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted; and
(iii)the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion.
(c)If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Loan Borrower Representative has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to that Revolving Loan, then Borrower Representative will be deemed to have elected to continue that Revolving Loan as a LIBOR Loan for another Interest Period effective on the last day of that Interest Period.
43








(d)Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion pursuant to this Section 2.2.3.
1.1.4Funding Losses.  In connection with each LIBOR Loan, each Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified by Borrower Representative in a Notice of Borrowing or other notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than as a result of any failure of any Lender to make such LIBOR Loan to the extent required by this Agreement that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of such Lender) (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”).  A certificate of Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower Representative setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Borrowers shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.
1.3.Letter of Credit Procedures.
1.1.1L/C Applications.  Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Issuing Lender each Master Letter of Credit Agreement from time to time in effect with respect to that Issuing Lender.  Borrower Representative shall give notice to Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least three Business Days (or any lesser number of days as Administrative Agent and that Issuing Lender agree in any particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Each such notice must be accompanied by an L/C Application, duly executed by Borrowers and in all respects satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, together with all other documentation as Administrative Agent or that Issuing Lender reasonably requests in support thereof, it being understood that each L/C Application must specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the expiration date of that Letter of Credit (which may not be later than the scheduled Termination Date (unless that Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized)), and whether that Letter of Credit is to be transferable in whole or in part.  Any Letter of Credit outstanding after the scheduled Termination Date that is Cash Collateralized for the benefit of an Issuing Lender will be the sole responsibility of that Issuing Lender.  So long as the applicable Issuing Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12 with respect to the issuance of a requested Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, that Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date.  Each Issuing Lender shall promptly advise Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof, or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any Master Letter of Credit Agreement, any L/C Application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control.
1.1.2Participations in Letters of Credit.  Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender will be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such 
44








Lender will be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from that Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in that Letter of Credit and Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations with respect thereto.  If Borrowers do not pay any reimbursement obligations when due, Borrowers will be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders with Revolving Commitments make a Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to those reimbursement obligations.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of any such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2.2, Section 12.2, or otherwise, each such Lender shall make available to the applicable Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of that Revolving Loan for the account of Borrowers in satisfaction of those reimbursement obligations.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit will be deemed to be the applicable Issuing Lender’s “participation” therein.  Each Issuing Lender shall, upon request of Administrative Agent or any Lender, deliver to Administrative Agent or that Lender a list of all Letters of Credit issued by that Issuing Lender, together with all information related thereto as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably requests.
1.1.3Reimbursement Obligations.
(a)Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made.  Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement will bear interest from the date of that payment or disbursement to the date that the applicable Issuing Lender is reimbursed by Borrowers therefor, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus 2.00%.  Each Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of an Issuing Lender to so notify Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent will not affect the rights of any Issuing Lender or any Lender in any manner whatsoever.
(b)Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations under this Section 2.3.3 are irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iii) the validity, sufficiency, or genuineness of any document that an Issuing Lender has determined complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, even if that document later proves to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein later proves to be untrue or inaccurate 
45








in any respect; or (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by Administrative Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Lender) under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any related matters will result in any liability of Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement to any such Person.
1.1.4Funding by Lenders to Issuing Lender.  If any Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and (a) Borrowers have not reimbursed that Issuing Lender in full for such payment or disbursement by 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of that payment or disbursement, (b) a Revolving Loan may not be made in accordance with Section 2.3.2, or (c) any reimbursement received by that Issuing Lender from Borrowers is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any Insolvency Proceeding or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender, in full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in that Letter of Credit, that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that payment or disbursement (but no such payment will diminish the obligations of Borrowers under Section 2.3.3), and, upon notice from that Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender thereof.  Each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of that other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such payment or disbursement.  If and to the extent any such Lender has not made any such amount available to the applicable Issuing Lender by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day on which that Lender receives notice from Administrative Agent of that payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon (Chicago time) on any Business Day will be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), that Lender shall pay interest on that amount to the applicable Issuing Lender promptly on demand, for each day from the date that amount was to have been delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender to the date that amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (i) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, and (ii) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect.  Any Lender’s failure to make available to the applicable Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement will not relieve any other Lender of its obligation under this Agreement to make available to the applicable Issuing Lender that other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that payment, but no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the applicable Issuing Lender that other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement.
1.4.Commitments Several.  The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.
1.5.Certain Conditions.  No Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan, or to permit any conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loan (if otherwise permissible) and no Issuing Lender will have an obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, if an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing.
46








1.6.Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions will apply for so long as that Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
1.1.1Fees will cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.
1.1.2If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(a)all or any part of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit will be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares as determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Pro Rata Share,” but only to the extent (i) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Outstandings plus that Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit does not exceed the aggregate of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 are satisfied at that time;
(b)if the reallocation described in Section 2.6.2(a) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit (after giving effect to Section 2.6.3(iii) and any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.6.2(a)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.1 for so long as that obligation to participate in Letters of Credit is outstanding;
(c)if Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.6.2, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.5 with respect to that Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit during the period that Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit is Cash Collateralized;
(d)if the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.6.2, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.5 will be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares (as determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Pro Rata Share”); and
(e)if any Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.6.2, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender under this Agreement, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 5.5 with respect to that Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit will be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until that Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated
1.1.3So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender will be required to issue, amend, or increase any Letter of Credit unless that Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure will be fully covered by the

Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Commitments and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.6.2, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit will be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.6.2(a) (and Defaulting Lenders will not participate therein).  Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 but excluding Section 8) will, in lieu of being distributed to that Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied as follows at such time or times as Administrative Agent determines:  (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent under this Agreement; (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; (iii) third, to Cash Collateralize the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.6.2, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; (v) fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement; (vi) sixth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (vii) seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If any such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans and made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 are satisfied, then that payment will be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender.
1.1.4If Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and the applicable Issuing Lender(s) each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused that Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the obligations to participate in Letters of Credit of the Lenders will be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of that Lender’s Commitment and on that date that Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent determines is necessary in order for that Lender to hold those Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (as determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Pro Rata Share”).  No Defaulting Lender will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent, or any other action the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take under this Agreement (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 15.1) but any waiver, amendment, or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender that affects a Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders will require the consent of that Defaulting Lender.
1.7.Increase In Term Loan Commitments.
1.1.1Borrower Representative, on behalf of Borrowers, may request an increase in Term Loan Commitments from existing Term Lenders from time to time upon not less than 15 days’ notice to Administrative Agent, as long as (a) the requested increase or new tranche is offered on the same terms as the existing 
48








Term Loan Commitments, except for a closing fee to be agreed upon between Administrative Agent in its discretion and Borrowers, and such new Term Loan Commitments shall be available at any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, (b) total increases under this Section 2.7 do not exceed $50,000,000, (c) such Term Loan is issued in connection with such increase or new tranche are utilized in accordance with Section 10.6, (d) as of the last day of the most recent calendar month for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered hereunder and calculated on a pro forma basis, the Total Leverage Ratio of the Consolidated Group was no greater than 3.50:1.00, (e) such increase is permitted under the Second Lien Loan Documents, and (f) Administrative Agent consents, in its discretion, to such increase at the time of the request thereof.  Such Term Loans extended pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be referred to as “Incremental Term Loans”.  
1.1.2Upon satisfaction of the criteria set forth in Section 2.7.1, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Term Lenders of the requested increase and, within 2 Business Days thereafter, each Term Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Term Lender commits to increase its Term Loan Commitment.  Any Term Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase.  Administrative Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased Term Loan Commitments among committing Term Lenders.  Total Term Loan Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative; provided that the conditions set forth in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 are satisfied at such time.  Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and the existing Term Lenders making new Term Loans shall execute and deliver such customary documents and agreements as Administrative Agent deems reasonably appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Term Loan Commitments.  On the effective date of an increase, the outstanding Term Loans and other exposures under the Term Loan Commitments shall be reallocated among Term Lenders, and settled by Administrative Agent as necessary, in accordance with Term Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Term Loan Commitments.
1.1.3Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.7 (including, without limitation, to preserve “fungibility” or to add premiums in respect of existing Term Loans in connection with an increase to such Term Loans).
SECTION 3:EVIDENCING OF LOANS.
1.1.Notes.  At a Lender’s request, (a) the Revolving Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the amount of that Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (b) the Closing Date Term Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the principal amount of that Lender’s Closing Date Term Loans, and (c) the 
49








Incremental Term Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the sum of that Lender’s Incremental Term Loans.
1.2.Recordkeeping.  Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender and each repayment or conversion (if permissible) thereof.  The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded will be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid.  The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans under this Agreement, together with all interest accruing thereon.
SECTION 4:INTEREST.
1.1.Interest Rates.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date that Loan is made until that Loan is paid in full as follows:
1.1.1Revolving Loans.
(a)at all times while a Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and
(b)at all times while a Revolving Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.
1.1.2Term Loans.
(a)at all times while a Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and
(b)at all times while a Term Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Loan will be increased by 2% during the existence of an Event of Default (and, in the case of Obligations not bearing interest, those Obligations will, during the existence of an Event of Default, bear interest at the highest interest rate applicable to the Loans plus 2%), but any such increase may be rescinded by Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4, the increase provided for in this Section 4.1 will occur automatically.  In no event will interest payable by Borrowers to any Lender under this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, then that provision will be deemed modified to limit that interest to the maximum rate permitted under that law.
1.2.Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan and each LIBOR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, upon a prepayment of such Loan, and on the date on which all or any portion of 
50








the Obligations are accelerated, and at maturity.  After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, and Administrative Agent may, from time to time charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 7.1.2 with the amount of any interest payment due under this Agreement.
1.3.Setting and Notice of LIBOR Rates.  The LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period will be determined by Administrative Agent.  Each determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate by Administrative Agent will be conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, absent manifest error.
1.4.Computation of Interest.  Interest will be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the LIBOR Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate.  The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate and the applicable interest rate for each LIBOR Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate.
1.5.Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate.  In no event will any interest rate payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 4.1 plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, deems applicable.  Borrowers and the Lenders, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rates of interest and manner of payment stated within this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any such rate of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, each Borrower is and will be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from such Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of that excess.
SECTION 5:FEES.
1.1.Unused Fee.  Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (except as provided in Section 2.6) an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”), for the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, at the Unused Fee Rate in effect from time to time of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) of the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitments.  For purposes of calculating usage under this Section 5.1, the Revolving Commitments will be deemed used to the extent of Revolving Outstandings.  Such Unused Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2018 and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which such Unused Fees shall not have previously been paid.  The Unused Fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.
1.2.[Intentionally Omitted].
1.3.Fee Letters.  All fees due and payable under the Existing Fee Letter and the Agent Fee Letter have been paid in full, and were fully earned prior to the Tenth Amendment Effective Date and are non-refundable on or after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date.  On the Tenth Amendment Effective Date, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent all such fees as are mutually agreed 
51








to from time to time by Borrowers and Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the fees set forth in the Tenth Amendment Fee Letter in accordance with the terms thereof.  Such fees shall be deemed fully earned as of the Tenth Amendment Effective Date.
1.4.Prepayment Fee.  Without limiting the generality of Section 5.3, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all applicable Lenders, each Prepayment Fee in accordance with the Agent Fee Letter.  
1.5.Letter of Credit Fees.
(a)Except as provided in Section 2.6, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a Revolving Commitment a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the L/C Fee Rate of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) of the undrawn amount of that Letter of Credit (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days).  Unless Administrative Agent and Required Lenders otherwise consent, the rate applicable to each Letter of Credit will be increased by 2.00% at any time that an Event of Default exists.  That letter of credit fee will be payable in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Termination Date (or any later date on which that Letter of Credit expires or is terminated) for the period from the date of the issuance of that Letter of Credit (or the last day on which the letter of credit fee was paid with respect thereto) to the date that payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which that Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.
(b)In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, except as provided in Section 2.6, Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, (i) all fees and expenses as that Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing, and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations, and (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee in the amount(s) and at the time(s) agreed to by Borrower Representative and that Issuing Lender.
SECTION 6:REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING COMMITMENT; PREPAYMENTS.
1.1.Reduction or Termination of the Revolving Commitment.
1.1.1Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Revolving Commitment.
(a)Borrowers may from time to time on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice received from the Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each applicable Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments to an amount not less than the sum of the Revolving Outstandings.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $500,000.
(b)Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero, Borrowers shall pay (i) all interest on the Revolving Loans, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Unused Revolving Commitment Fees and  letter of credit fees, and (iii) Cash Collateralize in full all obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit.
52








(c)Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero, Borrowers shall pay (i) all interest on the Revolving Loans, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Unused Fees, and (iii) any applicable Prepayment Fee.

Borrowers may from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part; provided that Borrower Representative shall give Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each applicable Lender thereof) notice of any such prepayment not later than 10:00 A.M. Chicago time, on the day of such prepayment (which must be a Business Day), specifying the Term Loans to be prepaid and the amount of such prepayment.

All prepayments of Term Loans under this Section 6.2.1 shall be accompanied by payment of (a) all accrued interest on the Term Loans (or portion thereof) being prepaid, and (b) the Prepayment Fee, if any, due with respect thereto.

Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agrees that Administrative Agent may make any such charges regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 12 have been satisfied.  Any amounts charged to the Loan Account of the Borrowers (other than Protective Advances) will be deemed a Revolving Loan under this Agreement made by the applicable Lenders to the Borrowers, funded by Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Lenders, and subject to Section 2.1.  The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties confirm that any charges that Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as provided in this Agreement will be made as an accommodation to the Loan Parties and solely at Administrative Agent’s discretion.

(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as follows:  (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any letter of 
56








credit fees to any Issuing Lender and any Prepayment Fee) and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay principal of the Protective Advances until paid in full; (v) fifth, letter of credit fees then due and payable to each Issuing Lender and interest then due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably, to pay principal of the Revolving Loans and the L/C Obligations (or, to the extent those Obligations are contingent, to Cash Collateralize those Obligations) until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably, to pay principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full; (viii) eighth, ratably, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Term Loans until paid in full; (ix) ninth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loans until paid in full; (x) tenth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any Prepayment Fee then due and payable until paid in full; and (xi) eleventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations (including any Bank Product Obligations) then due and payable.

(d)In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 7.2.2 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that all such priority provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other.  In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 7.2.2 shall control and govern.
1.3.Due Date Extension.  If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day unless the result of that extension would cause such due date to occur in another calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.
1.4.Setoff.  All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any Loan Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense.  Each Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of each Borrower and each other Loan Party under this Agreement, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, or moneys of 
57








each Borrower and each other Loan Party then or thereafter with Administrative Agent or that Lender.
1.5.Proration of Payments.  Except as provided in Section 2.6, if any Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise), on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (but excluding (a) any payment pursuant to Section 8 or 15.6, (b) payments of interest on any Affected Loan or (c) its participation in any Letter of Credit) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans or any such participation in any Letter of Credit, then held by them, then that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans (or subparticipations in Letters of Credit) held by them as are necessary to cause that purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them, but if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from that purchasing Lender, then that purchase will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of that recovery.
1.6.Taxes.
1.1.1The Loan Parties shall make all payments under this Agreement or under any Loan Documents without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any Person will be made by the Loan Parties free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any taxing authority.
1.1.2If Borrowers make any payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in respect of which any Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased such that after the reduction for the amount of Indemnified Taxes withheld (and any Indemnified Taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional payments required under this Section 7.6.2), the recipient of the payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding been made.  To the extent Borrowers withhold any Taxes on payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable law and shall deliver to Administrative Agent within 30 days after Borrowers have made payment to that taxing authority a receipt issued by that taxing authority (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from that payment.
1.1.3If any Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient is required by law to make any payments of any Indemnified Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or any Indemnified Tax is assessed against a Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient with respect to amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrowers will indemnify that Person against (i) that Indemnified Tax and (ii) any Indemnified Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 7.6.3.  A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of any such 
58








payment by that Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient will, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.  
1.1.4(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of the assignment to that Lender) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS) certifying to that Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or with respect to any Loan and original signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction to be made.  If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender is claiming a complete exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Code Sections 871(h) or 881(c), then that Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (any such certificate, a “Withholding Certificate”).  In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall, from time to time after the Closing Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment to that Lender) when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs) renders the prior certificates delivered under this Agreement obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, to the extent permitted under applicable law, deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent two new and accurate and complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new Withholding Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement of that Lender or Administrative Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or with respect to any Loan (or such Non-U.S. Lender shall otherwise promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to deliver such forms and/or Withholding Certificate).
(b)Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent certifying that that Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax.  To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.6.4(b) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender or Administrative Agent, then that Lender or Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deliver to Borrower Representative and, as applicable, Administrative Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to that Lender’s exemption from United States backup withholding Tax (or such Lender or Administrative Agent shall 
59








otherwise promptly notify the Borrower Representative and, as applicable, the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to deliver such forms).
(c)No Loan Party will be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender, or indemnify any Lender, under this Section 7.6 to the extent that those obligations would not have arisen but for the failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 7.6.4.
(d)Each Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and hold Administrative Agent harmless for the full amount of any and all present or future Taxes and related liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to Tax and expenses, and any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6 which are imposed on or with respect to principal, interest, or fees payable to that Lender under this Agreement and which are not paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 7.6, whether or not those Taxes or related liabilities were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification must be made within 30 days from the date Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.
1.1.5If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6, then Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall pay over that refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to that refund), net of any Taxes imposed by reason of receipt of that refund and all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to that refund, which interest must be paid to the Borrowers).  Upon the request of Administrative Agent or any such Lender, Borrowers shall repay any amount paid to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or that Lender in the event Administrative Agent or that Lender is required to repay any such refund to any such Governmental Authority.  Nothing in this Section 7.6.5 is to be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
1.1.6If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal income withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if that 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), then that Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at any other time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) all documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and all additional documentation reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as is necessary for Administrative Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that that Lender has complied with that Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold 
60








from that payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 7.6.6, “FATCA” is deemed to include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
1.1.7For purposes of this Section 7.6, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
SECTION 8:INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR LOANS.
1.1.Increased Costs.
(a)If any Change in Law (i) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate pursuant to Section 4), special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; (ii) subjects any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its LIBOR Loans, its Note(s) or its obligations to make LIBOR Loans, or (iii) imposes on any Lender any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Note(s), or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, and the result of anything described in clauses (i) through (iii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) that Lender (or any LIBOR Office of that Lender) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by that Lender (or its LIBOR Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto, then upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay directly to that Lender such additional amount as will compensate that Lender for that increased cost or that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Lender first made demand therefor.
(b)If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which that Lender or that controlling Person could have achieved but for that change, adoption, phase-in, or compliance (taking into consideration that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by that Lender or that controlling Person to be material, then 
61








from time to time, upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to that Lender that additional amount as will compensate that Lender or that controlling Person for that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Lender first made demand therefor.
1.2.Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  
(a)Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties if (i) Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination will be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate, or (ii) the Required Lenders advise Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of maintaining or funding LIBOR Loans (taking into account any amount to which those Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of those Lenders materially affects those Loans.
(b)So long as any circumstances described in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(a) continue, (i) no Lender will be required to make or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, and (ii) each such Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
(c)If the circumstance described in clause (a) above and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish and alternative rate of interest for the Loans that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.  Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
1.3.Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful.  If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, makes it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender causes a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund LIBOR Loans, then that Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties to this Agreement and, so long as those circumstances continue, (a) that Lender will not be required to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (but that Lender shall, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted into by that Lender at that time in the absence of those circumstances), and (b) each such LIBOR Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a 
62








Base Rate Loan.  Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan (an “Affected Loan”) will remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the LIBOR Loans of which that Affected Loan would be a part absent those circumstances.
1.4.Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices.  Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any LIBOR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of that Lender to make that Loan, but each such Loan will be deemed to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of Borrowers to repay that Loan will be to that Lender and will be deemed held by the Lender, to the extent of that Loan, for the account of that branch or Affiliate.
1.5.Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in that Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender) to mitigate or avoid (i) any obligation by Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clauses (i) or (ii) and thereafter that event ceases to exist, that Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall designate a different funding office if that designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrowers of) any event described in clauses (i) or (ii) and that designation will not, in that Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender.
(b)If Borrowers become obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3, or any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower Representative may designate another financial institution that is acceptable to Administrative Agent and any applicable Issuing Lender in their reasonable discretion (a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of that Lender and that Lender’s rights under this Agreement, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, that Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to that Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on those Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to that Lender and any other amounts owed to that Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and to assume all the obligations of that Lender under this Agreement.  Upon any such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), the applicable Lender will no longer be a party to this Agreement or have any rights under this Agreement (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to that Lender prior to the date of that purchase and assumption) and will be relieved from all obligations to Borrowers under this Agreement, and the Replacement Lender will succeed to the rights and obligations of that Lender under this Agreement.
1.6.Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.  Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Section 8.1, and the provisions of such 
63








Section 8.1 will survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Note(s), expiration or termination or Cash Collateralization of any Letter of Credit and termination of this Agreement.
1.7.Funding Losses.  Each Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), indemnify that Lender against any net loss or expense which that Lender sustains or incurs (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by that Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan), as reasonably determined by that Lender, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of any LIBOR Loan of that Lender on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period for that Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3), and (b) any failure of any Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert, or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, prepayment, conversion, or continuation pursuant to this Agreement.  For this purpose, all notices to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to be irrevocable.
1.8.Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender may fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder will be made as if that Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each applicable Interest Period for that Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to that Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for that Interest Period.

All issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof are free and clear of all Liens, other than those in favor of Administrative Agent and the Liens of the Second Lien Agent that are subordinated pursuant to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and all such Equity Interests were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities.  Schedule 9.8 sets forth the authorized Equity Interests of each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof as of the Tenth Amendment Effective Date and the date of each Compliance Certificate (as such Schedule may be supplemented thereby) delivered in connection with financial statements provided pursuant to Section 10.1.1.

(a)The Unfunded Liability of all Pension Plans does not in the aggregate exceed twenty percent of the Total Plan Liability for all such Pension Plans.  Each Pension Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations.  No contribution failure under Section 430 of the Code, Section 303 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension Plan has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA, or otherwise to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiary thereof, threatened, claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Pension Plan, any fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof (or other member of the Controlled Group) with respect to a Pension Plan or a Multiemployer Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof (or other member of the Controlled Group) has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan which would subject that Person to any material liability.  Within the past five years, no Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof (nor any other member of the Controlled Group) has engaged in a transaction which resulted in a Pension Plan with an Unfunded Liability being transferred out of the Controlled Group, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.10.Investment Company Act.  No Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
1.11.Compliance with Laws.  Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all respects with the requirements of all laws and all orders, writs, injunctions, and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except where (a) that requirement of law or order, writ, injunction, or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
1.12.Regulation U.  No Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.
1.13.Taxes.  Other than as set forth on Schedule 9.13, each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof has timely filed all income and other material tax returns and reports 
67








required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all income and other material Taxes and governmental charges due and payable with respect to each such return, except any such Taxes or charges that (a) are not delinquent, (b) remain payable without penalty or interest, or (c) are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on that Loan Party’s or that Subsidiary’s books.  Each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof has made adequate reserves on their books and records in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes that have accrued but which are not yet due and payable.  No Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof has participated in any transaction that relates to a year of the taxpayer (which is still open under the applicable statute of limitations) which is a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b) (irrespective of the date when the transaction was entered into).
1.14.Solvency, etc.  
1.1.1On the Original Closing Date, the Closing Date, the Amendment Effective Date, the Tenth Amendment Effective Date and immediately prior to and after giving effect to the issuance of each borrowing under this Agreement, the issuance of each Letter of Credit and the use of the proceeds thereof, with respect to each Borrower, individually, and the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole (a) the fair value of its or their assets is greater than the amount of its or their liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as that value is established and liabilities evaluated in accordance with GAAP, (b) the present fair saleable value of its or their assets is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on its or their debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) it is, and they are, able to realize upon its or their assets and pay its or their debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business, (d) it does not, and they do not, intend to, and it does not, and they do not, believe that it or they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond its or their ability to pay as those debts and liabilities mature, and (e) it is not, and they are not, engaged in or about to engage in business or a transaction for which its or their property would constitute unreasonably small capital.

1.15.Environmental Matters.  The on-going operations of each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws, except for non-compliance that could not (if enforced in accordance with applicable law) reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof has obtained, and maintained in good standing, all licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations, and other approvals required under any Environmental Law and required for their respective ordinary course operations, and for their reasonably anticipated future operations, and each Loan Party and Subsidiary thereof is in compliance with all terms and conditions thereof, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to any of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and could not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

Not use or permit any proceeds of any Loan to be used, either directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of “purchasing or carrying” any Margin Stock.

For purposes of this Section 13.3, the term “Credit Bid” 
103








means an offer submitted by Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to acquire the property of any Loan Party or any portion thereof in exchange for and in full and final satisfaction of all or a portion (as determined by Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.
SECTION 14:THE AGENTS.
1.1.Appointment and Authorization.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.10) appoints, designates, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take any action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise any powers and perform any duties as are expressly delegated to it, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with all powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor will Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities are to be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent, as applicable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, that term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
1.2.Issuing Lenders.  The Issuing Lenders shall act on behalf of the Lenders (according to their Pro Rata Shares) with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by them and the documents associated therewith.  The Issuing Lenders will have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lenders in connection with Letters of Credit issued by them or proposed to be issued by them and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to those Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent,” as used in this Section 14, included the Issuing Lenders with respect to all such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lenders
1.3.Delegation of Duties.  Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and is entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to those duties.  Administrative Agent will 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.
1.4.Exculpation of Administrative Agent.  None of Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, and agents (a) will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth in this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) will be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in 
104








this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection, or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent is not and will not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.
1.5.Reliance by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may rely, and will be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Administrative Agent first receives all advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent against any and all liability and expense which might be incurred by Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Administrative Agent will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and each such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto will be binding upon each Lender.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 12, each Lender that has signed this Agreement will be deemed to have consented to, approved, or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from that Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
1.6.Notice of Default.  Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing that Event of Default or Default and stating that that notice is a “notice of default.”  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  Administrative Agent shall take all such actions with respect to each such Event of Default or Default as requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13, but unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but will not be required to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to any Event of Default or Default as Administrative Agent deems advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
1.7.Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review 
105








of the affairs of the Loan Parties, will be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession.  Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers under this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents to Administrative Agent that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make all investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrowers.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required in this Agreement to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent.
1.8.Indemnification.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, except that no Lender will be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders will be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 14.8.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for any such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers.  The undertaking in this Section 14.8 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.
1.9.Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  Monroe Capital and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Loan Parties and Affiliates as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent under this Agreement and without notice to or consent of any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to those activities, Monroe Capital or its Affiliates might receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any Borrower or any such Affiliate) and acknowledges that Administrative 
106








Agent will be under no obligation to provide any such information to them.  With respect to their Loans (if any), Monroe Capital and its Affiliates have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Monroe Capital and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
1.10.Successor Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders.  If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower Representative (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower Representative, a successor agent from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent under this Agreement, that successor agent will succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” will mean that successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent will be terminated.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Agreement as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 14.4 and Sections 15.5 and 15.17 will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
1.11.Collateral Matters.  Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any action taken by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of the powers set forth in this Agreement or therein, together with all other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, will be authorized by, and binding upon, all Lenders.  Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to do any and all of the following:  (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon Payment in Full; (ii) upon property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement (including the release of any Guarantor in connection with any such disposition); or (iii) subject to Section 15.1 if approved in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on that Collateral which is permitted by Section 11.2(d) (it being understood that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower Representative in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 11.1(d)).  Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11.  Each Lender hereby authorizes 
107








Administrative Agent to give blockage, enforcement or other notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, the Second Lien Debt and AgileThought Earn-out Obligations.
1.12.Restriction on Actions by Lenders.  Each Lender shall not, without the express written consent of Administrative Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Administrative Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by that Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with that Lender.  Each Lender shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  All enforcement actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may be taken by only Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Administrative Agent.
1.13.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
1.1.1In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party (including any Insolvency Proceeding), Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan is then due and payable as expressed in this Agreement or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent has made any demand on Borrowers) may, by intervention in any such proceeding or otherwise, do any and all of the following:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5 and 15.17) allowed in such judicial proceedings; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
1.1.2Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make all payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5, and 15.17.
1.1.3Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of 
108








any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
1.14.Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger,” if any, has any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified has or is deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
1.15.Protective Advances.  Administrative Agent may, at any time, make all disbursements and advances (“Protective Advances”) that Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Loan Parties of the Loans and other Obligations, the Reimbursement Obligations, the L/C Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 15.5.  Protective Advances are repayable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans.  The maximum aggregate amount of Protective Advances that Administrative Agent may make is $5,000,000.  Protective Advances constitute Obligations under this Agreement and may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 7.1.2.  No Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent and charged to the Loan Account will be deemed to constitute a Loan and no Lender will have any obligation to fund any amount to Administrative Agent as a result thereof.  The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower Representative in writing of each Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent, which notice must include a description of the purpose of that Protective Advance.
1.16.Mexican Powers of Attorney.  The Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under any power of attorney granted under or in connection with the Mexican Loan Documents unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
1.17.Subordination Agreements.  Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed each of the Subordination Agreements and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof as if such Lender was a signatory thereto.  Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Subordination Agreements on behalf of such Lender and agrees that the Administrative Agent, in its various capacities thereunder, may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Each Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under that Note.
1.3.Notices.
1.1.1Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, all notices under this Agreement must be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and must be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex C or at any other address as the receiving party designates, by written notice received by the other parties, as its address for that purpose.  Notices sent by facsimile transmission will be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail will be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service will be deemed to have been given when received.  For purposes of Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall hold Administrative Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost, or expense resulting from any such reliance.
1.1.2Electronic Communications.
111








(a)Notices and other communications to any Lender under this Agreement may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent,  but the foregoing does not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 if that Lender has notified Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative that it is incapable of receiving notices under Section 2.2 by electronic communication.  Administrative Agent or any Loan Party may, in its respective sole discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it under this Agreement by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, and approval of any such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
(b)Unless otherwise agreed by the sender and the intended recipient, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address will be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email, or other written acknowledgement), (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website will be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that the notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; and (iii) for both clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 15.3.2(b), any notice, email or other communication that is not sent during the normal business hours of the intended recipient will be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the intended recipient.
1.4.Computations.  Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, that determination or calculation will, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, but if Borrower Representative notifies Administrative Agent that Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in Sections 10 or 11.12 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of that covenant (or if Administrative Agent notifies Borrower Representative that the Required Lenders wish to amend Sections 10 or 11.12 (or any related definition) for that purpose), then Borrowers’ compliance with that covenant will be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either the applicable notice under this Section 15.4 is withdrawn or the applicable covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrowers and the Required Lenders.
1.5.Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Each Loan Party, jointly and severally, shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) in connection with the preparation, execution, primary syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and the costs of IntraLinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other documents provided for in this Agreement or delivered or to be delivered under or in connection with this Agreement (including any amendment, supplement, or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated, including, without limitation, all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 10.2, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney 
112








Costs and any Taxes) incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring, or negotiations in respect thereof; provided however, that the Loan Parties shall not be liable for any stamp, documentary, recording, filing or similar Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment of the Loans and Commitments (other than an assignment at the request of a Loan Party).  In addition, each Loan Party shall pay, and shall save and hold harmless Administrative Agent and the Lenders from all liability for, any fees of Loan Parties’ auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights pursuant to Section 10.2.  All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.5 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, and termination of this Agreement.
1.6.Assignments; Participations.
1.1.1Assignments.
(a)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of that Lender’s Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders (for an assignment of the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments at any time the commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder exceeds $0) and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower Representative (which consent of Borrower Representative may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, such consent of Borrower Representative shall not be required (i) for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (ii) during the existence of an Event of Default; provided further that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof.  Except as Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any such assignment must be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (which minimum will be $500,000 if the assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender) or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender.  Borrowers and Administrative Agent will be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Administrative Agent has received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered, and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500.  No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of that assignment Borrowers would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 or Section 8 to the Assignee than Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under that section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, Borrowers will not be required to pay any such greater amounts).  Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.6.1 will be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.6.2.  Borrower Representative will be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent under this Agreement unless Borrower Representative has expressly objected to that assignment within three Business Days after notice thereof.
113








(b)From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) the Assignee will be deemed automatically to have become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to that Assignee pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, will have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to that Assignment Agreement, will be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations under this Agreement.  Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) one or more Notes in accordance with Section 3.1 to reflect the amounts assigned to that Assignee and the amounts, if any, retained by the assigning Lender.  Each such Note will be dated the effective date of the applicable assignment.  Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any applicable prior Note held by it.
(c)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of that Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 15.6.1 will not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest.  No such pledge or assignment of a security interest will release a Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for that Lender as a party to this Agreement
1.1.2Participations.  Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests under this Agreement (any such Person, a “Participant”), but solely to the extent that such Participant is not a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party.  In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant (a) that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with that Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (c) all amounts payable by Borrowers will be determined as if that Lender had not sold that participation and will be paid directly to that Lender.  No Participant will have any direct or indirect voting rights under this Agreement except with respect to any event described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders.  Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which that Lender enters into with any Participant.  Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant will be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, but that right of set-off is subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders shall share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5.  Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 or 8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (but no Participant will be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 and 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender on the date of participation if no 
114








participation had been sold), and each Participant must comply with Section 7.6.4 as if it were an Assignee.
1.7.Register.  (a) Administrative Agent shall maintain, and deliver a copy to Borrower Representative upon written request, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered and accepted by it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether that Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee.  No assignment will be effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register.  All records of transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Register will be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans.  Administrative Agent will not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register.  It is the intention that the Loans and Commitments be treated as registered obligations and in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, and that the right, title, and interest of the Lenders in and to those Loans and Commitments be transferable only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)  Each Lender that sells a participation to a Participant shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each such Participant, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, such Participant (the “Participant Register”), but no Lender will be required 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 Loans, Commitments, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that disclosure is required to establish that such a participation is in registered form (as described above). The entries in the Participant Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of that participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
1.8.GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement and each Note is a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
1.9.Confidentiality.  As required by federal law and Administrative Agent’s policies and practices, Administrative Agent may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services.  Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Administrative Agent or that Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to them by any Loan Party and designated as confidential, except that Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any information as follows:  (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Administrative Agent or that Lender or that Lender’s Affiliates or Approved Funds in evaluating, approving, structuring, or administering the Loans and the Commitments, (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 15.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose any such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described 
115








in clause (a) of this Section 15.9, (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Administrative Agent or that Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, but Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall (i) use reasonable efforts to give the applicable Loan Party written notice prior to disclosing the information to the extent permitted by that requirement, request, court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, and (ii) disclose only that portion of the confidential information as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or as counsel for Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, advises Administrative Agent or that Lender, that it must disclose pursuant to that requirement, (d) as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or on the advice of Administrative Agent’s or that Lender’s counsel, is required by law, (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Administrative Agent or that Lender is a party, (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to that Lender, (g) to any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender who provides or might provide Bank Products to the Loan Parties, (h) to that Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors as to which that information has been identified as confidential, or (i) if that information ceases to be confidential through no fault of Administrative Agent or any Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers consent to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.  If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement, or other similar agreement between any Borrower and any Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 15.9 with respect to the treatment of confidential information, then this Section 15.9 will supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties.
1.10.Severability.  Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be ineffective to the extent of that prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  All obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in each case, expressed in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document are in addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by applicable law.
1.11.Nature of Remedies.  All Obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document are in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
1.12.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of all such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 5.3) and any prior arrangements made 
116








with respect to the payment by the Loan Parties of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs, or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or the Lenders.
1.13.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts.  Each such counterpart will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same Agreement.  Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will constitute effective delivery thereof.  Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by the Lenders will be deemed to be originals.
1.14.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement binds the Loan Parties, the Lenders, Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.  No other Person is or is intended to 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.  No Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender.
1.15.Captions.  Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
1.16.Customer Identification – USA Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and Monroe Capital (each for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow that Lender or Monroe Capital, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.
1.17.INDEMNIFICATION BY LOAN PARTIES.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate, and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, and Approved Funds of Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lender Party” or “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including Attorney Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of Equity Interests, purchase of assets (including the Related Transactions) or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans; (b) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party; (c) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or the operations conducted thereon; (d) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which any Loan Party or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances; or (e) the execution, delivery, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Lender Parties, in each case except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of the 
117








applicable Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking is unenforceable for any reason, each Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  All obligations provided for in this Section 15.17 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release, or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement.  This Section 15.17 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Indemnified Liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.
1.18.Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship between Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders and Administrative Agent on the other hand is solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations.  Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission, or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that those losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought.  No Lender Party will be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement.  No Lender Party will have any liability with respect to, and each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue for, any special, punitive, exemplary, indirect, or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).  Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.  No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.
1.19.FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  Any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the Mexican Loan Documents, which shall be governed under their own terms), will be brought and maintained exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York.  Each party hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any such litigation as set forth above and waives any right to any other jurisdiction to which each such party may be entitled to by reason of their present or future domicile or otherwise.  Each Loan Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of New York.  Each Loan 
118








Party hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it now has or hereafter might have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
1.20.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  Each Loan Party, Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, and any amendment, instrument, document, or agreement delivered or which might in the future be delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith or arising from any lending relationship existing in connection with any of the foregoing, and agrees that any such action or proceeding will be tried before a court and not before a jury.
1.21.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA 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 an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 that EEA 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 any EEA Resolution Authority.
1.22.Notice of Certain Refinancings.  Borrower Representative and each applicable Lender that is not Monroe Capital or an Affiliate of Monroe Capital shall give Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of an intended Payment in Full, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of any refinancing credit facility or replacement credit facility in which that Lender is a lender, the administrative agent, or a lead arranger on the closing date of that facility.
1.23.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution 
119








Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


(b)    As used in this Section 15.23, the following terms have the following meanings:
(A)“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(B)“Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
(C)“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(D)“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
SECTION 16:JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
1.1.1Each Loan Party and each Person comprising a Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements, and other terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to and binding upon each Person comprising a Loan Party unless expressly otherwise stated in this Agreement.
1.1.2Each Loan Party is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations of each other Loan Party, regardless of which Loan Party actually receives the proceeds or other benefits of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement or the manner in which Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, or any Lender accounts therefor in their respective books and records.
1.1.3Each Loan Party acknowledges that it shall enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by each other Loan Party because of, 
120








inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to receive the Loans and other credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which would not have been available to any Loan Party acting alone.  Each Loan Party has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated under this Agreement, with the credit support of each other Loan Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
1.1.4Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders have advised each Loan Party that it is unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Loan Party unless each Loan Party agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Loan Party.  Each Loan Party has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection with this Agreement (a) because of the desirability to each Loan Party of the credit facilities under this Agreement and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available under this Agreement and under those other documents; (b) because each Loan Party might engage in transactions jointly with other Loan Parties; and (c) because each Loan Party might require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.  Each Loan Party, individually, expressly understands, agrees, and acknowledges that the credit facilities contemplated under this Agreement would not be made available on the terms of this Agreement in the absence of the collective credit of all the Loan Parties, and the joint and several liability of all the Loan Parties.  Accordingly, each Loan Party acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this Agreement to the Loan Parties, as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any one Loan Party.
1.1.5To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Person’s obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount that does not result in any such invalidity or unenforceability, but each Loan Party’s obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section 16 were not a part of this Agreement.
1.1.6To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 16 of all or any of the Obligations (a “Joint Liability Payment”) that, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party, exceeds the amount that Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by those Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that such Person’s Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to those Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Loan Party as determined immediately prior to the making of those Joint Liability Payments, then, following payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations not then asserted) and the termination of the Commitments, that Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and 
121








indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of that excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to the applicable Joint Liability Payments.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Party is equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from that Loan Party under this Section 16 without rendering that claim voidable or avoidable under § 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, or similar statute or common law.
1.1.7Each Loan Party assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Loan Party, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of each other Loan Party’s Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by each other Loan Party of its Obligations, and each Loan Party agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has or shall have any duty to advise that Loan Party of information known to Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding any such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine.  If Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Loan Party, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to that Loan Party or any other Person on any subsequent occasion.
1.1.8Subject to Section 15.1, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, to do any and all of the following:  (a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, Obligations incurred by any Loan Party, otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Loan Party and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender; (b) accept partial payments on an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party; (c) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party under this Agreement or for the payment of any guaranties of an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party or other liabilities of any Loan Party and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such security or collateral; (d) apply any such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its discretion, determines; and (e) settle, release, compromise, collect, or otherwise liquidate an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any other Loan Party.  In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent has the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Borrower or any other source, and any such determination shall be binding on each Loan Party.  In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party as Administrative Agent determines in its discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Loan Party.  Nothing in this Section 15.1 modifies any right of any Loan Party or any Lender to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
122








1.1.9Each Loan Party hereby agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, its obligations under this Agreement are and shall be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the absence of any attempt to collect an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party from any Loan Party or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (b) failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party; (c) any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Loan Party, or Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of § 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (d) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Loan Party as debtor-in-possession under § 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (e) the disallowance, under § 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of an Obligation incurred by any Loan Party; or (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor unless that legal or equitable discharge or defense is that of a Loan Party in its capacity as a Loan Party.
1.1.10Any notice given by Borrower Representative under this Agreement shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Loan Parties, jointly and severally.  Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower Representative under this Agreement or pursuant to any other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or of any applicable other Loan Document shall constitute notice to each Loan Party.  The knowledge of any Loan Party shall be imputed to all Loan Parties and any consent by Borrower Representative or any Loan Party shall constitute the consent of, and shall bind, all Loan Parties.
1.1.11This Section 16 is intended only to define the relative rights of Loan Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 16 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Loan Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.  Nothing contained in this Section 16 limits the liability of any Loan Party to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party and accrued interest, fees, and expenses with respect thereto for which that Loan Party is primarily liable.
1.1.12The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 16 constitute assets of each Loan Party to which any such contribution and indemnification is owing.  The rights of any indemnifying Loan Party against the other Loan Parties under this Section 16 shall be exercisable upon the full and payment of the Obligations, and the termination of the Commitments.
1.1.13No payment made by or for the account of a Loan Party, including, without limitation, (a) a payment made by that Loan Party on behalf of an Obligation of another Loan Party, or (b) a payment made by any other Person under any guaranty, shall entitle that Loan Party, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from that other Loan Party or from or out of property of that other Loan Party and that Loan Party shall not exercise any right or remedy against that other Loan Party or any property of that other Loan Party by reason of any performance of that Loan Party of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until, in each case, the termination of the Commitments, the expiration, termination, or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit, and Payment in Full 
123








of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations not then asserted).
SECTION 17:APPOINTMENT OF BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE
17.1.    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably (until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17.4) appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to request and receive the proceeds of advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of that Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from the Lenders in the name or on behalf of that Loan Party.  Administrative Agent may disburse those proceeds to the bank account of Borrower Representative (or any other Borrower) without notice to any other Borrower or any other Loan Party.
17.2.    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably (until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17.4) appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to (a) receive statements of account and all other notices from Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) execute and deliver Compliance Certificates and all other notices, certificates and documents to be executed and/or delivered by any Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (c) otherwise act on behalf of that Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  To such effect, AN Evolution and AN Extend shall each grant the Borrower Representative, an irrevocable power of attorney for lawsuits and collections and acts of administration, which shall be notarized and apostilled in Mexico. For the reason of granting Borrower Representative the power of attorney, it shall be considered that AN Evolution and AN Extend each irrevocable appoints the Borrower Representative as its agent in the terms abovementioned.  Such power of attorney shall be delivered by each of AN Evolution and AN Extend to Monroe Capital within ten (10) Business Days following the date of execution of this Agreement.  The Borrower Representative hereby accepts to act as agent of the Loan Parties.
17.3.    The authorizations contained in this Section 17 are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17, and Administrative Agent may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by the Borrower Representative, every document executed by the Borrower Representative, every agreement made by the Borrower Representative or other action taken by the Borrower Representative in respect of any Borrower or other Loan Party as if the same were supplied, made or taken by that Borrower or Loan Party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrowers or other Loan Parties to join in the execution of any writing in connection with this Agreement will not relieve any Borrower or other Loan Party from obligations in respect of that writing.
17.4.    No purported termination of or change in the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent will be effective without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
