 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
 This Credit Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2005, (this
“Agreement”) among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and
collectively as the “Lenders”), Banc of America Securities LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager (the “Arranger”), Bank of America, N.A. with an office at 55 South Lake Avenue, Suite 900, Pasadena, CA 91101, as
agent for the Lenders (in its capacity as agent, the “Agent”), and LEAPFROG ENTERPRISES, INC. (the “Borrower”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to make available to the Borrower a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit in an amount
not to exceed $150,000,000 and which extensions of credit the Borrower will use for the purposes permitted hereunder; 
  
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is attached
hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained therein shall govern the interpretation of this Agreement, and all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedule attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower a
revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and
the Borrower hereby agree as follows. 
  
 ARTICLE 1 
 LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 1.1 Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a total credit facility of up
to $75,000,000 (the “Total Facility”) to the Borrower from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Total Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit described
herein. 
  
 1.2 Revolving Loans. 
  
 (a) (1) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the Borrower’s request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans
(the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in amounts not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Availability, except for Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make
Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of Credit in excess of the Borrowing 










 
Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Borrowing Base
or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings would exceed Availability after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the making of Revolving
Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i). 
  
 (2) Borrower shall, upon not less than three Business Days
written request from such Lender, execute and deliver to such Lender a note to evidence the Revolving Loan of that Lender. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, dated the
date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (each a “Revolving Loan Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loan Notes”). Each Revolving Loan Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount
of Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, or, if less, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in
Section 2.1. The entire unpaid balance of the Revolving Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Procedure for Borrowing. 
  
 (1) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing (“Notice of Borrowing”), which must be received by the Agent prior to (i) 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) three Business Days prior to the
requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying: 
  
 (A) the amount of the Borrowing, which in the case of a LIBOR Loan must equal or exceed $1,000,000 (and
increments of $500,000 in excess of such amount); 
  
 (B) the requested Funding Date, which must be a Business Day; 
  
 (C) whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan); and 
  
 (D) the duration of the Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (and
if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month); 
  
 provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Loans only. 
  
 (2) In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such
request for advances to the Designated Account on or 

  

 2 








 
before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of
whether any written confirmation is received. 
  
 (3) The Borrower shall have no right to request a LIBOR Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 (c) Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the initial Funding Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, a notice setting forth the account of the
Borrower (“Designated Account”) to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. The Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice. All such Designated
Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any person’s request for Revolving Loans on behalf of the Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the Designated
Account. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the Borrower to make such requests on its behalf. 
  
 (d) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice
referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the Borrower to request Revolving Loans on its behalf. The crediting of Revolving Loans
to the Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as provided herein. 
  
 (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be
irrevocable. The Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. 
  
 (f) Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to have
the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing. If the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of
Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested Borrowing; provided that to the extent such notice includes a request for LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans (and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 1.2(b)(1)) and
the Agent elects to have the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing, notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.2(h) such requested Borrowing shall for all purposes constitute LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans
hereunder. 
  
 (g) Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent
elects to have the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or
e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time designated by Agent, not later than 12:00 noon (San
Francisco time) on the applicable Funding Date. After the Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by
transferring same day funds to the account designated by the 

  

 3 








 
Borrower, provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed the Availability on such date. 

 
 (h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans. 
  
 (1) If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have
the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, the Bank shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to
Borrower’s Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan”, and such Revolving Loans are collectively referred to as the “Non-Ratable
Loans.” Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Non-Ratable
Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000. The Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (1) the Agent has received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent
set forth in Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed Availability on that Funding Date. 
  
 (2) The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the
Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and Obligations hereunder. 
  
 (i) Agent Advances. 
  
 (1) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the
Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans to the
Borrower on behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base but not in excess of the Maximum Revolver Amount which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or
desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount properly
chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided that the
Majority Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof. 
  
 (2) The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Agent’s
Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and Obligations hereunder. 
  
 1.3 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Agreement to Issue or Cause to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent agrees (1) to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue for the 

  

 4 








 
account of the Borrower one or more commercial/documentary and standby letters of credit (or any other customary credit support instrument that the Letter of
Credit Issuer may from time to time be willing to provide) (including any Existing Letter of Credit and any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, each a “Letter of Credit”) and/or (2) to provide credit support or other enhancement to
a Letter of Credit Issuer acceptable to Agent, which issues a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (any such credit support or enhancement being herein referred to as a “Credit Support”) from time to time during the term of
this Agreement. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
  
 (b) Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The Agent shall not have any
obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit at any time if: (1) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility at such time; (2) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would exceed Availability at such time; or
(3) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than 30 days prior to the Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance for standby letters of credit and 180 days for documentary letters of credit. With respect
to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless any such Lender shall have provided to the Agent, written notice
that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the requirements of this
Section 1.3 are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such extension or renewal. 
  
 (c) Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent contained in Article 8, the obligation of the Agent to
issue or to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent: 
  
 (1) The Borrower shall have delivered to the Letter of
Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for the issuance of the Letter
of Credit and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form, terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and 
  
 (2) As of the date of issuance, no order of any court,
arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation
applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall 

  

 5 








 
prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of
Credit. 
  
 (d) Issuance of Letters of Credit. 

 
 (1) Request for Issuance. Borrower must notify the
Agent of a requested Letter of Credit at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the Business Day of
issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be
issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit. 
  
 (2) Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. As of the Business Day immediately preceding the requested issuance date of the Letter
of Credit, the Agent shall determine the amount of the applicable Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and Availability. If (A) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is less than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and
(B) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed Availability, the Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the
requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof are met. 
  
 (3) No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to extend or amend any Letter
of Credit issued pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section 1.3 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued. 
  
 (e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees to reimburse immediately the Letter of Credit Issuer
for any draw under any Letter of Credit and the Agent for the account of the Lenders upon any payment pursuant to any Credit Support, and to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to the Letter of Credit
Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. Each drawing under any
Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the Borrower to the Agent for a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing. 
  
 (f) Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney. 
  
 (1) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable
as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.3, the Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Lender or the Agent (other than a Lender in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of 

  

 6 








 
Credit or the provision of any Credit Support or enhancement in connection therewith. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive
payment of all other Obligations. 
  
 (2)
Assumption of Risk by the Borrower. As among the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Agent, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in
connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of
any messages, by mail or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the
Lenders or the Agent, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) the Letter of Credit Issuer’s honor of a draw for
which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender under this
Section 1.3(f). 
  
 (3)
Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) shall result in any liability of Agent or and Lender to the Borrower, or
relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person. 
  
 (4) Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the Borrower’s rights, if any, with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of
the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer or arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
  
 (5) Account Party. The Borrower hereby authorizes and
directs any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the Borrower as the “Account Party” therein and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter
of Credit, and, after and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and 

  

 7 








 
agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor. 
  
 (g) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 1.3(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit or Credit Support is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the Borrower shall: 
  
 (1) deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit or Credit Support then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory
to the Agent in an amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support may be drawn plus any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support, under which Supporting Letter of
Credit the Agent is entitled to draw amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments to be made by the Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or Credit Support and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of
Credit or Credit Support. Such Supporting Letter of Credit shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit
or such Credit Support remaining outstanding, or 
  
 (2) deposit into the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Account cash in an amount equal to the amount of all issued and undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on the Termination Date and Credit Support then outstanding as collateral
security for the reimbursement of drawings thereunder which shall be used to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer or Credit Support provider promptly upon a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or Credit Support, as the case may be, with the
respective portion thereof to be returned promptly to the Borrower when the respective Letter of Credit or Credit Support expires. 
  
 (h) Authorization to Apply Proceeds from Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Account to Obligations Relating to Cash Collateralized Letters of
Credit. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent (without obligation) to apply any amount in the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Account to pay (or reimburse any payment of) any drawing on a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit or Credit
Support. 
  
 1.4 Bank Products. The Borrower may request
and the Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for the Borrower to obtain from the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates or any other Lender Bank Products although the Borrower is not required to do so; provided that (a) if
any Lender other than Bank provides Bank Products to the Borrower, such Lender shall (1) prior to the entry by it into any such Bank Product with the Borrower, report to the Agent the anticipated exposure of the Borrower in respect of such Bank
Product and shall only enter into such Bank Product with the consent of the Agent (such consent to be in the Agent’s sole discretion), and (2) report to the Agent the current exposure of the Borrower to such Lender under Bank Products (and
any increase in such exposure since the last report) no less frequently than monthly and within two Business Days after receiving a request from the Agent 

  

 8 








 
and (b) if there is any exposure or increase in the exposure of the Borrower to such Lender under such Bank Products and such Lender fails to report
such exposure or increased exposure to the Agent as specified above, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the payment of such exposure or increased exposure shall not constitute an Obligation
and shall not be secured by any of the Agent’s Liens. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank or any Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Agent, the Bank and the Lenders harmless from any
and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Agent, the Bank or any of the Lenders which arise from any indemnity given by the Agent to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing
contained herein is intended to limit the Borrower’s rights, with respect to the Bank or its Affiliates, if any, or any other Lender, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between the Borrower and the Bank, such Affiliate
or such Lender which relate to Bank Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from the Bank, the Bank’s Affiliates or
any Lender (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates or such Lender, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates or such Lender. 
  
 1.5 Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may, at any time, by notice to the Agent, request that the
aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by an amount of up to $75,000,000 (the “Accordion Increase”) to be effective as of the date upon which the conditions set forth in Section 1.5(d) below are fulfilled to the
satisfaction of the Agent (the “Accordion Effective Date”); provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments hereunder exceed $150,000,000, and (ii) no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the Accordion Effective Date, or shall occur as a result thereof. 
  
 (b) The Agent may, in its sole discretion, promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower for the Accordion Increase, which notice shall include
the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Accordion Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in the Accordion
Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to
increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the Accordion Increase, the Accordion Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed
between the Borrower and the Agent. 
  
 (c) Promptly following the
Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the Accordion Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the Accordion
Increase on the Commitment Date is less than the Accordion Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the Accordion Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of
the Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an 

  

 9 








 
amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as may be necessary to cause the aggregate increase to
equal the Accordion Increase). 
  
 (d) On the Accordion Effective
Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in the Accordion Increase in accordance with Section 1.5(c) (each such Eligible Assignee being an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this
Agreement as of the Accordion Effective Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for the Accordion Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 1.5(b)) as of the Accordion Effective Date and the Commitment of each Lender as set forth on Schedule 1 shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, that on or before the Accordion Effective Date 
  
 (1) a Successful Syndication shall have been achieved;

  
 (2) all amendments to this Agreement deemed
reasonably necessary by the Agent to accomplish the Accordion Increase shall have been agreed by the parties hereto and any Assuming Lenders; 
  
 (3) all necessary approvals shall have been obtained by each of the Increasing Lenders, the Assuming Lenders and the Agent; and

  
 (4) the Agent shall have received the
following, each dated such date: 
  
 (A) (i)
certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Accordion Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (ii) an opinion of counsel for the
Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent; 
  
 (B) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an
“Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; 
  
 (C) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Agent, and 
  
 (D) evidence, satisfactory to
the Agent, that the Borrower and each of the Guarantors has granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a first priority security interest in all of the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s Proprietary Rights and has executed all
documents and taken all other actions necessary as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable to perfect such security interest. 
  
 On the Accordion Effective Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 1.5(d), the Agent shall
notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 12:00 noon (San Francisco 

  

 10 








 
time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Accordion Increase and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing
Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. The Borrower shall prepay Loans on the Accordion Effective Date to the extent necessary to cause the outstanding Loans to be ratable with the Commitment of each Lender. This Section shall supersede the
provisions of Sections 3.5 and 11.1 as applicable. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
 INTEREST AND FEES 
  
 2.1 Interest. 
  
 (a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by
law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margins as set forth below, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate.
If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which the Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a
rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall
bear interest as follows: 
  
 (1) For all Base
Rate Loans and other Obligations (other than LIBOR Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and 
  
 (2) For all LIBOR Loans at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges in respect of LIBOR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and all interest charges in respect of Base Rate Loans shall be computed on
the basis of a 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest accrued on all Base Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of each month hereafter and on the Termination
Date. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all LIBOR Loans in arrears on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (b) Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Agent or the Majority Lenders in their discretion so elect,
then, while any such Default or Event of Default is continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto. 
  

 11 








 2.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may: 
  
 (1) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate
Loans to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Loans; or 
  
 (2) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Loans having Interest
Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $500,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); 
  
 provided that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to
be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans; provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one month.

  
 (b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of
continuation/conversion (“Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be
converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans and specifying: 
  
 (1) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date; 
  
 (2) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed; 
  
 (3) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and 
  
 (4) the duration of the requested Interest Period,
provided, however, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated Termination Date; 
  
 provided that in lieu of delivering a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, Borrower may give the Agent telephonic or email notice of such request for
Continuation/Conversion on or before the deadline set forth above with written confirmation (which may be by email) to follow within one Business Day of any such notice given telephonically. 
  
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Loans,
the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Loans or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective
as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. 
  
 (d) The
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the
notice was given held by each Lender. 
  

 12 








 (e) There may not be more than six different LIBOR Loans in effect hereunder at any time prior to the
Accordion Effective Date and not more than nine different LIBOR Loans in effect hereunder at any time after the Accordion Effective Date. 
  
 2.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender
under applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate
for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder
equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement
is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (1) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect
or (2) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the
Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess. 
  
 2.4 Closing Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent the fees set forth in the fee letter dated October 31,
2005 between the Agent, the Arranger and the Borrower on the respective dates set forth therein. 
  
 2.5 Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and on the Termination Date the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to 0.25% per annum times the amount by which the Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding
principal amount of Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and the average daily unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, during the immediately preceding month or shorter
period if calculated for the first month hereafter or on the Termination Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All principal payments received by the Agent shall be deemed
to be credited to the Borrower’s Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 2.5. 
  
 2.6 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to (a) the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the applicable Applicable Margin in respect of 

  

 13 








 
LIBOR Loans in effect from time to time, provided that the Letter of Credit Fee payable in respect of any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall
be 0.50% per annum prior to the occurrence and continuation of any Default or Event of Default, (b) the Agent for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the undrawn face
amount of each Letter of Credit, and (c) the Letter of Credit Issuer, all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any
Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS 
  

3.1 Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrower may prepay Revolving Loans at any time without premium or penalty, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings exceeds the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount. 
  
 3.2 Termination of Facility. The Borrower may terminate this Agreement
upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (a) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, and the cancellation and return of all outstanding
Letters of Credit, (b) the payment of the early termination fee set forth below, (c) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, and (d) with respect to any LIBOR Loans prepaid, payment of the
amounts due under Section 4.4, if any. If this Agreement is terminated at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, whether pursuant to this Section or pursuant to Section 9.2, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an early termination fee determined in accordance with the following table: 
  

			
	 Period during which
 early termination
occurs

	  	 Early Termination Fee


	On or prior to the first Anniversary Date	  	1.0% of the Total Facility
		
	After the first Anniversary Date but on or prior to the second Anniversary Date	  	0.5% of the Total Facility

  

 14 








 provided, however, that in the event that the Borrower terminates this Agreement and in connection
therewith enters into a loan facility arranged by the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank, then no early termination fee shall apply. 
  
 3.3 Payments by the Borrower. 
  
 (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the date
specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. 
  
 (b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest
Period”, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may
be. 
  
 3.4 Payments as Revolving Loans. At the election of
Agent, all payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and Credit Support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses and other sums payable hereunder, may be paid from the
proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying all amounts from time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged shall
constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances). 
  
 3.5 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such
payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer and except as provided in
Section 11.1(b). All payments shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral
received by the Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Borrower; second, to pay any fees or expense
reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; sixth, to pay an amount to Agent equal to all
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, less the aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents held on such date in the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Account; and seventh, to the
payment of any other Obligation, including any amounts relating to Bank Products, due by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such

LIBOR Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay LIBOR
breakage losses in accordance with Section 4.4. If any Event of Default exists, the Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any
portion of the Obligations. 
  
 3.6 Indemnity for Returned
Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any Lender, the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to
any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender and the Borrower shall be liable to
pay to the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby does indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall be and
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s
and the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 3.7 Agent’s and
Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Agent shall record the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement
obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Loans in its books and records.
Failure by Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees that the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the
Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any
Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide to the Borrower a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement, including, upon the Agent’s receipt of
written request from the Borrower, in respect of any month in which an assignment of any Commitment has occurred a current schedule of the Lenders and each of their respective Commitments hereunder. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate,
and binding on the Borrower and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 3.5 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing
to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the
Borrower.

 ARTICLE 4 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 4.1 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Subject
to Section 12.10, any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition, subject
to Section 12.10, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes. 
  
 (b) Subject to Section 12.10, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 12.10, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, then: 
  
 (1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such
Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; 
  
 (2) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings; 
  
 (3) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law; and 
  
 (4) the Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts that the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender
would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
  
 (d) At the Agent’s request, within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other
evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent. 
  
 (e) If the
Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to 

  

 17 








 
the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require Agent or any
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
  
 4.2 Illegality. 
  
 (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or
administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make LIBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof
by that Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

  
 (b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any
LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts
required under Section 4.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
LIBOR Loans. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any LIBOR Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 4.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
  
 (a) If any Lender determines that due to either (1) the introduction of
or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (2) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any
increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to
the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 4.3(a) for any such increased cost in respect of a period occurring more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor unless the circumstances giving rise to such increased cost became applicable retroactively, in which case no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within 180 days from the date such circumstances
become applicable. 
  

 18 








 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (1) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (2) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (3) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or (4) compliance by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired
return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 4.3(b) for any such increase in respect of a period occurring more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor
unless the circumstances giving rise to such increase became applicable retroactively, in which case no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within 180 days from the date such circumstances become applicable.

  
 4.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each
Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
  
 (a) the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan; 
  
 (b) the failure of the Borrower (for any reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan if such failure results in such Lender being a Defaulting Lender under Section 12.15(c)) to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or
a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or 
  
 (c) the prepayment or
other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; 
  
 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Loans or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing. For the purposes of calculating the amount, if any, payable by Borrower to Lenders under
this Section 4.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan at the LIBOR Rate for a Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount for a comparable period,
whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded. 
  
 4.5
Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or that the LIBOR
Rate for any 

  

 19 








 
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the
Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount
specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Loans. 
  
 4.6 Certificates of Agent. If any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article 4, Agent shall determine the amount thereof
and shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the affected Lender) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of
manifest error. 
  
 4.7 Survival. The agreements and
obligations of the Borrower in this Article 4 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations. 
  
 4.8 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
  
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.3 or 4.4, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (1) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to any such section, as the case may be, in the future, and (2) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or inconsistent with any internal policy of
such Lender or applicable legal or regulatory restriction. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
  
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event that: 
  
 (1) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 4.3 or 4.4 that is not required by the Majority Lenders; 
  
 (2) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 4.1 that is not required to be paid to the Majority Lenders; 
  
 (3) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender; or 
  
 (4) any Lender declines to consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that pursuant to
Section 11.1 requires consent of 100% of the Lenders (or, as applicable, 100% of the Lenders of any Class in 

  

 20 








 
which such Lender holds Loans and/or a Commitment), provided that such amendment, modification or waiver has received approval by Lenders constituting the
Majority Lenders, 
  
 then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.2 and
pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption), its Commitments and Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more assignees identified by the Borrower (which may include another Lender at any time, if such other Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (x) the assignee or assignees shall be approved by the Agent and by each Letter of Credit Issuer of a Letter of Credit then outstanding, in each case in their sole discretion, (y) the Lender being so
replaced shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then payable to such Lender
hereunder, from the assignee(s) (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 4.3 or 4.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments by the Borrower. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NOTICES 
  
 5.1 Books and Records. The Borrower shall maintain, at all times, correct and complete books, records and accounts in which complete, correct and

Section 5.2(a), except for the absence of footnotes and subject to normal year-end adjustments; provided that for any month ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter, such information shall be deliverable not less than forty-five

speak as of a particular date. If any certificate discloses that a representation or warranty is not correct or complete, or that a covenant has not been complied with, or that a 

  

 22 








 
Default or Event of Default existed or exists, such certificate shall set forth what action the Borrower has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 ARTICLE 6 
 GENERAL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS 
  
 The Borrower warrants and represents to the Agent and the Lenders that except
as hereafter disclosed to and accepted by the Agent and the Majority Lenders in writing: 
  
 6.1 Authorization, Validity, and Enforceability of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Borrower has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party, to incur the Obligations, and to grant to the Agent Liens upon and security interests in the Collateral. The Borrower has taken all necessary action (including obtaining approval of its stockholders if necessary) to authorize
its execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or creditors’ rights laws generally. The Borrower’s execution,
delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a violation or breach of, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon the property of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, by reason of the terms of (a) any contract, mortgage, lease, agreement, indenture, or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or which is binding upon it, (b) any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (c) the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws or the limited liability company or limited partnership agreement of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
  
 6.2 Validity and Priority of Security Interest. The provisions of this
Agreement, the Mortgage(s), and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on all
the Collateral, having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral to the extent the filing of such Mortgage(s) and filing of UCC financing statements in connection therewith and the entering into control agreements with respect thereto can
achieve such priority, except for Permitted Liens, and enforceable against the 

  

 25 








 
Borrower and all third parties, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or creditors’ rights laws generally. 
  
 6.3 Organization and Qualification. The Borrower (a) is duly
organized or incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization or incorporation, (b) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or
be in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 6.4 Corporate Name; Prior Transactions. The Borrower has not, during the past five (5) years, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name, or been a party to any merger or consolidation,
or, except as set forth on Schedule 6.4 to the Disclosure Letter hereto or as permitted under Section 7.12 after the Closing Date, acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property
outside of the ordinary course of business. 
  
 6.5

business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or be in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (b) Set forth on Schedule 6.5(b) to the Disclosure Letter hereto is a complete and accurate list of the Borrower and

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 9.1(g), or 9.1(h), the Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire and all Obligations
shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind; (C) require the Borrower to cash collateralize all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and (D) pursue its other rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents and applicable law. 
  
 (b) If an Event of

(2) the Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Borrower’s premises, at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or the
Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s demand, at the Borrowers’ cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (3) the Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public
or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an
announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the Borrower agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale,
disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Borrower if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action to the Borrower’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 13.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms

Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. To the extent it is permitted to do so under its contractual obligations, the Agent is hereby granted a
license or other right to use, without charge, the Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in completing production of, advertising or selling any
Collateral, and the Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees,
and then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
  
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent’s
rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

 10.1 Term and Termination. The term of this
Agreement shall end on the Stated Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent upon direction from the Majority Lenders may terminate this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of

immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall immediately arrange for the cancellation and return of Letters of Credit then outstanding. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and
performed in full in cash, the Borrower shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their rights and
remedies hereunder (including the Agent’s Liens in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then existing and after-arising Collateral).

 48 








 11.2 Assignments; Participations. 
  
 (a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign and
delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any
ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and
Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Agent
may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (1) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect
to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (2) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit
F (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any note or notes subject to such assignment and (3) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $2,500. The Borrower agrees to promptly
execute and deliver new promissory notes and replacement promissory notes as reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in accordance herewith. 
  
 (b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and
Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (1) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit
and Credit Support have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (2) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties
or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment,
perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by the Borrower to the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the
Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together
with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such


  

 49 








 
assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (5) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations
which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
  
 (d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the
Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 
  
 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks,
financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (1) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for
the performance of such obligations, (3) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and (4) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
except the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a) (i), (ii) and (iii), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding
under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or
pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may
enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
 THE AGENT 
  
 12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and 

  

 50 








 
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 12. Except for the provisions of Sections 12.9, 12.10 and 12.11 (as to which Borrower is an intended beneficiary), the terms of the
provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term
is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use
its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 1.2(i), and (c) the
exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. 
  
 12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees
or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such
selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 12.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
  

 51 








 12.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
  
 12.5 Notice of
Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 
  
 12.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend
credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent Related Persons.

  

 52 








 12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities
resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Attorney
Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section
shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
  
 12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent hereunder and without
notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, its Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or
such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Bank in its individual capacity. 
  
 12.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to
be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event the Bank sells all of its Commitment and Revolving Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan
portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the Agent
resigns under this Agreement and no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed
prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder,
such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 
  

 53 








 12.10 Withholding Tax. 
  
 (a) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code and such Lender
claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent and Borrower: 
  
 (1) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction
of, withholding tax under a United States of America tax treaty, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year
during which interest may be paid under this Agreement; 
  
 (2) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States of America withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States of America trade or business of such
Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may be paid under this
Agreement, and IRS Form W-8BEN; and 
  
 (3) such
other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States of America as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States of America withholding tax. 
  
 Such Lender agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such
forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly upon the written request of the Borrower,
(A) deliver to the Agent and to the Borrower two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption
required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not act for its own account with
respect to any portion of such payment, or (B) notify the Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. 
  
 (b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of America tax treaty by
providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent and Borrower of the percentage amount in which it
is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent and Borrower will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid. 
  

 54 








 (c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States of America withholding tax by filing IRS Form
W-8ECI with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements
imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code. 
  
 (d) (1) If any
Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction and (2) if the
forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax; provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of this Section 12.10 on the date such Lender became a Lender (or if such Lender became a party to this Agreement
pursuant to an assignment, to the extent the assignor was entitled to additional amounts), nothing in this Section 12.10 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 12.10 in the
event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding hereunder. 
  
 (e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and
including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of
all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
  
 12.11 Collateral Matters. 
  
 (a) The Lenders
hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral (1) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the Borrower of all
Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Credit Support, and the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations; (2) constituting
property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 7.12 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry);
(3) constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (4) constituting property leased to the Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a
transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the 

  

 55 








 
Lenders; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of
$2,000,000 during each Fiscal Year without the prior written authorization of the Lenders and the Agent may release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $4,000,000 during each Fiscal Year with the prior
written authorization of Majority Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
to this Section 12.11. 
  
 (b) Upon receipt by the
Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 12.11(a) from the Lenders of the Agent’s authority to release Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days
prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral; provided,
however, that (1) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of
such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all
interests retained by the Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for,
protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in
respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and
that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing. 
  
 12.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 
  
 (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the
extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the
Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower, including the commencement of any legal or
equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
  
 (b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (1) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments
with respect to the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the 

  

 56 








 
other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(2) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (A) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to
negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided,
however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the
purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 
  
 12.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such
Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. 
  
 12.14 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the
Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender
is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify
whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 
  
 12.15 Settlement. 
  
 (a) Each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by
the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or
enforceable by the Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among 

  

 57 








 
them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following
provisions: 
  
 (1) The Agent shall request
settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at Agent’s election, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with
respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no
later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall transfer the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the Agent, to Agent’s account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (San Francisco time), on the
Settlement Date applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made
available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall
constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each
outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance. 
  
 (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive
from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and
(B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an
amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (3) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender
purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant 

  

 58 








 
to clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and
interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance. 
  
 (4) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received
by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Bank’s Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections
received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank’s Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to
clause (iii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon
receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender
with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the
Agent and the other Lenders. 
  
 (5) Unless the
Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will not exceed Availability on any Funding
Date for a Revolving Loan or Non-Ratable Loan. 
  
 (b)
Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (1) no Lender shall
be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (2) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and
(3) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several. 
  
 (c) Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of
such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately
available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share to the Agent in
immediately available funds and the Agent has transferred corresponding amount to the Borrower on the Business Day following such Funding Date that Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent, 

  

 59 








 
together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. If each Lender’s full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that
amount is not transferred to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s
account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any
Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a
Revolving Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to advance such other Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing. 
  
 (d) Retention of Defaulting Lender’s Payments. The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting
Lender any payments made by Borrower to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or
retained by the Agent. In its discretion, the Agent may loan the Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so loaned to the Borrower shall bear interest at the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and
determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (1) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any
portion of the Unused Line Fee and (2) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based
upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall
not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder. 
  
 12.16 Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues. 
  
 (a) Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance of
all Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement Date. 
  
 (b)
Participations in Letters of Credit. 
  
 (1) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.4(d), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit or the Credit Support provided through the Agent to the 

  

 60 








 
Letter of Credit Issuer, if not the Bank, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the Borrower with respect
thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto). 
  
 (2) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a payment from the Borrower on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit or Credit Support as to which
the Agent has previously received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment from the Borrower. Each such payment shall
be made by the Agent on the next Settlement Date. 
  
 (3) Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, Credit Support for any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith,
applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender. 
  
 (4) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Lender to make payments to the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or
with respect to their participation therein or with respect to any Credit Support for any Letter of Credit or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower for whose
account the Letter of Credit or Credit Support was issued to make payments to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following
circumstances: 
  
 (A) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 
  
 (B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for
whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, the Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); 
  
 (C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

  
 (E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default; or 
  

 61 








 (F) the failure of the Borrower to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth
in Article 8. 
  
 (c) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments;
Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower received by the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or Credit Support provided for any Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on
account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent
their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately
available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such
payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until
the date repaid. 
  
 (d) Indemnification by Lenders. To the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Letter
of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection
therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by the Borrower. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations. 
  
 12.17 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan
Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or Majority Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and
the exercise by the Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders
acknowledge that the Revolving Loans, Agent Advances, Non-Ratable Loans, Hedge Agreements, Bank Products and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured pari passu by all of the Collateral. 
  

 62 








 12.18 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each
Lender: 
  
 (a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish
such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of the Agent; 
  
 (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent
(i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
  
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing
any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrower and will rely significantly upon the Borrower’s books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrower’s personnel; 
  
 (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal
use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and 
  
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (1) to hold the Agent and any such
other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying
Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower; and (2) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report
as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
  
 12.19 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except
as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. 
  
 12.20 Co Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “co agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. The Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified as
a “co-agent” nor the Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified or the Arranger in deciding
to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  

 63

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 13.1
No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any party to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among the Borrower and the Agent and/or
any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by any party will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by any party on
any occasion shall affect or diminish any party’s rights thereafter to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the
Collateral. The Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have. 
  
 13.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any
instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 
  
 13.3 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process. 

 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF

TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE

in this Agreement, and under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any claim. Any controversy concerning whether an issue is
arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuant to a provisional or ancillary
remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (d) above, no
controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all parties if, at the time of the proposed submission, such controversy or claim arises from or relates to an obligation to the Lenders which is secured by real estate

attorney or retired judge. Judgment upon the award rendered by such referee or referees shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced. 
  

 65 








 (g) No provision of Sections (d) through (g) shall limit the right of the Agent
or the Lenders to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after,
or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or reference. At the Agent’s option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be
accomplished either by exercise of power of sale under the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure. 
  
 13.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.3(d), THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER
LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE

time to time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations and exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any
endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligations and release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any Lien in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of the Obligations.

for their benefit, on demand, and all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by such other Lenders for one law firm retained by such other Lenders, in each case, paid or incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations, enforce the
Agent’s Liens, sell or otherwise realize upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents, or to defend any claims made or threatened against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated
hereby (including preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions of the Loan Documents regarding costs and expenses otherwise agreed to be paid by the Borrower. All
of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrower’s Loan Account as Revolving Loans as described in Section 3.4.

DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION

time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender
shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set off and application made by such
Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE
LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.
