Article
II

COORDINATED ACTION IF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION 


 


Section
2.1.          Notice of Default. Upon the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default, the applicable Lender may give notice thereof to the Lenders (an “Event of Default
Notice”) and shall schedule a meeting of all Lenders to be held within ten (10)
Business Days of the sending of such notice at a mutually convenient time and place or by means of a telephone

the meeting. At such meeting the Lenders shall consult with one another in an attempt to determine a mutually acceptable
course of conduct regarding the Borrower and the collection of the outstanding Obligations, including without limitation the
exercise of rights and remedies by the Lenders under the Security Documents. Each Lender shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by, and only as directed by, the Requisite Lenders; provided
that unless and until the Lenders shall have received such directions, each Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action under (i) and (ii) below, as it deems necessary:


 


(i)          Emergency
Actions. If the Requisite Lenders have not yet provided instructions with regard to a Default or Event of Default, a Lender
may take such actions with regard to such Default or Event of Default which such Lender, in good faith, believes to be reasonably
required to protect Collateral from damage or destruction, or material diminution of value; provided, however, that
upon receipt of the instructions from the Requisite Lenders which comply with this Section 2.1, the actions of such Lender shall
be governed thereby and such Lender shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto.


 


(ii)         Administrative
Actions. Each Lender shall have the right to take such actions, or omit to take such actions, hereunder and under the Security
Documents not inconsistent with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or the terms of this Agreement as such Lender deems
necessary or appropriate to perfect or continue the perfection of the liens on the Collateral to protect or insure the Collateral.
Except as provided above and as otherwise provided pursuant to applicable law, no Lender shall have any duty as to the collection
or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the
preservation of rights pertaining to the Collateral beyond the safe custody of any Collateral in such Lender’s possession.


 


Section
2.2.          Restrictions on Actions. Each Lender agrees
that, so long as any Obligations are outstanding, each Lender’s respective rights and remedies under its Credit
Documents and its Security Documents may only be exercised in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Each Lender shall, for the mutual benefit of all Lenders, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement:


 


(a)          Refrain
from accelerating or demanding repayment of the Obligations owed to it;


 


(b)          Refrain
from taking or filing any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any rights or pursue any remedy under its Credit Documents
and its Security Documents, except for delivering notices hereunder;


 


(c)          Refrain
from accepting any guaranty of, or any other security for, the Obligations owing to it, except any additional security granted
to each of the Lenders; and


 


(d)          Refrain
from exercising any rights or remedies under its Credit Documents and its Security Documents which have or may have arisen or which
may arise as a result of an Event of Default or the acceleration of the maturities of the Obligations;


 


provided,
however, that nothing contained in subsections (a) through (d) above, or otherwise in this Agreement, shall prevent any
Lender from (x) imposing a default rate of interest in accordance with its respective Credit Documents, (y) raising any defenses
in any action in which it has been made a party defendant or has been joined as a third party, or (z) making such demands or filing
such claims in respect of the Obligations as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes
of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time. Except as expressly set forth in or otherwise
limited by this Agreement, each of the Lenders shall have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a creditor under applicable
law.

Article
III

COLLATERAL IN POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF DESIGNATED LENDER; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS; CERTAIN PAYMENTS


 


Section
3.1.          Collateral in Possession or Control of Designated Lender.
Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Collateral includes certain types of assets which by their nature require either actual
possession or control in order to obtain a first priority perfected security interest in such Collateral (hereinafter referred
to as a “Designated Collateral”), and further acknowledges that the Designated Lender shall control or physically
possess, as applicable, in accordance with applicable law, all such Designated Collateral for the ratable benefit of all the Lenders.
Nothing contained herein imposes on the Designated Lender any duties with respect to the Designated Collateral beyond the reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of the Designated Collateral while in the Designated Lender’s possession or control.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Designated Lender shall not have any duties
or responsibilities in its capacity as Designated Lender except those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Designated Lender.


 


Section
3.2.          Application of Proceeds. All amounts owing with respect to the Obligations
shall be secured by the Collateral on a pro rata basis without distinction as to whether some Obligations are then due and payable
and other Obligations are not then due and payable. The Lenders agree that with respect to all Post-Default Payments, including
without limitation proceeds from any realization of the Collateral by any Lender, the proceeds thereof shall be applied:


 


(i)           first,
to the payment of expenses incurred by the Lenders with respect to maintenance and protection of the Collateral and of expenses
incurred with respect to the sale of or realization upon any of the Collateral or the perfection, enforcement or protection of
the rights of the Lenders (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other collection costs);


 


(ii)          second,
equally and ratably to all the Obligations, according to the aggregate amounts thereof then owing to each Lender;


 


(iii)         third,
the balance, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or such other Persons as are entitled thereto.


 






    	7



    	 



    

 


The Lenders hereby agree that all Post-Default Payments, whether
received by realization on the Collateral or otherwise, shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.2.


 


Section
3.3.          Special Collateral Account.


 


(a)          The
Lenders agree that all Post-Default Payments received by any Lender from the Borrower or from any other source shall be deposited
into the Special Collateral Account. All amounts deposited into the Special Collateral Account shall be held and invested in accordance
with subsection (b) of this Section 3.3 or shall be distributed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 3.3. Each Lender
shall promptly notify the other Lenders of such Lender’s receipt of a Post-Default Payment and shall promptly deliver to
the Designated Lender such amounts for deposit into the Special Collateral Account (with such endorsements as may be required).
Each Lender agrees that any Post-Default Payment held by it shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to deliver to the Designated Lender any Post-Default Payment received prior to the occurrence
of an event described in Section 3.3(c) or deposit any such Post-Default Payment into the Special Collateral Account until the
time an event described in Section 3.3(c) occurs.


 


(b)          Except
as provided in Section 3.3(c) hereof, if the Default or Event of Default which caused a payment received by a Lender to be a Post-Default
Payment is waived or cured in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Credit Document and if no other Default or Event
of Default has occurred and then is continuing, all amounts deposited by a Lender in the Special Collateral Account pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) shall be repaid to each such Lender, together with such Lender’s share of interest earned thereon on a pro
rata basis and any Post-Default Payments theretofore received by such Lender shall not be required to be delivered to the Designated
Lender or deposited into the Special Collateral Account pursuant to Section 3.3(a) to the extent the same constituted a Post- Default
Payment by reason of such cured or waived Default or Event of Default. No amount held in the Special Collateral Account representing
payment of any Obligations to the Lender initially entitled thereto, and no payments thereafter received by a Lender shall constitute
a Post-Default Payment by reason of such cured or waived Default or Event of Default. No payment returned to a Lender for which
such Lender has been obligated to make a deposit into the Special Collateral Account shall thereafter ever be characterized as
a Post-Default Payment by reason of such cured or waived Default or Event of Default. If the Default or Event of Default which
was subject to the notice pursuant to Section 2.1 is a Default or Event of Default under the terms of each Credit Document, then
such Default or Event of Default shall not be considered to be cured or waived for the purposes of this Section unless such Default
or Event of Default has been cured or waived under each Credit Document.


 


(c)          If
the Obligations have been accelerated or the Requisite Lenders have instructed any Lender to foreclose on a substantial portion
of the Collateral, seek the appointment of a receiver, commence litigation against the Borrower, liquidate the Collateral, seize
Collateral, or exercise other remedies of similar character, or if a Bankruptcy Proceeding shall commence with respect to the Borrower,
all amounts in the Special Collateral Account, together with all interest earned thereon, and all subsequent Post-Default Payments
shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2.


 






    	8



    	 



    

 


(d)          The
parties hereto and, by its consent hereto, the Borrower, agrees that in the event any Post-Default Payment, whether or not deposited
in the Special Collateral Account, is applied in accordance with Section 3.2, then the Obligations discharged by such Post-Default
Payment shall be the Obligations to which such Post-Default Payment is applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2
and not the Obligations with respect to which such Post- Default Payment may have been originally made.


 


Section
3.4.          Turnover of Collateral. If any Lender acquires custody, control
or possession of any Designated Collateral other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly cause
such Designated Collateral, to the extent the same do not constitute Post-Default Payments, to be delivered to the Designated Lender
in accordance with Section 3.1. If any Lender acquires custody, control or possession of any other Collateral or any proceeds of
Collateral other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly cause such other Collateral or proceeds
to be disposed of or distributed in accordance with Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 hereof, as applicable. Until such time as such
Lender shall have complied with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentences, such Lender shall be deemed to hold any
such Collateral or proceeds in trust for the parties entitled thereto under this Agreement.


 


Section
3.5.          Sharing; Set-Offs.


 


(a)          No
Lender shall set off against any assets of the Borrower or any other Obligor without the prior approval of the Requisite Lenders,
which may be by telephonic vote. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.5, if a Lender obtains a payment in the
nature of a set-off (hereinafter referred to as a “Sharing Payment”) with respect to any assets of the Borrower
or any other Obligor, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the remaining Lenders participations in the Obligations owing to
the remaining Lenders and shall make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable (the purchase of such participation
or the making of such other adjustments shall be referred to as “Sharing Adjustments”) such that all Lenders
shall share the benefit of such Sharing Payment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Obligations then outstanding.


 


(b)          If
any Lender exercises any right of set-off or similar right with respect to any assets of the Borrower or any other Obligor (whether
or not such assets shall constitute Collateral), such Lender shall promptly cause such amounts to be disposed of in accordance
with Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 hereof unless such Lender immediately complies with paragraph (a) above.


 


(c)          If,
during the course of, or pursuant to, any Bankruptcy Proceeding of the Borrower or any other Obligor, a Lender (the “Returning
Lender”) is required by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to disgorge, refund, rebate, or otherwise
return any payment received for which there has been a distribution under Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 hereof by such Returning Lender
with respect to the Obligations (a “Disputed Payment”) to any trustee presiding over such Bankruptcy Proceeding
or to any other Person, the other Lenders shall immediately pay to the Returning Lender their respective shares of such Disputed
Payment on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the amount of the Disputed Payment by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the portion of such Disputed Payment received by such Lender and the denominator of which is the amount of such Disputed Payment.
In addition, each of the parties hereto shall pay to the other parties hereto such amounts so that, after giving effect to the
payments hereunder by all parties, the amounts received by all parties are not in excess of the amounts to be paid to them hereunder
as though such Disputed Payment had not been made.

Section
3.6.          Retention and Investment of Proceeds.


 


(a)          Proceeds
which, due to their nature, due to a restraining order or otherwise are not permitted to be applied as set forth above, or due
to the Requisite Lenders determining it to be impractical to divide and apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations,
shall be held by the Designated Lender or another Lender appointed by the Requisite Lenders until such proceeds (A) are converted
into cash, (B) are permitted to be applied or (C) become practical to divide at which time such proceeds shall be applied in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)          Pending
disbursement of any amounts held by any Lender pursuant to this Agreement, such Lender shall (to the extent such Lender deems practical)
invest such amounts in (A) marketable direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally
guaranteed by, the United States of America (or by any agency thereof to the extent such obligations are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States of America), in each case maturing not later than the earlier of the anticipated distribution date
of such amounts and the date 180 days from the date of acquisition thereof; (B) investments in commercial paper maturing not later

a rating of “P-I” or better from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; (C) investments in certificates of deposit,
banker’s acceptances and time deposits maturing not later than the earlier of the anticipated distribution date of such amounts

Corporation or from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; and (D) investments in repurchase agreements with any commercial bank

price on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amount of the Obligations owed to each Lender which is a Qualified Lender. Such
Lender shall comply with Article 9 of the UCC of the relevant jurisdiction as a secured party. Each of the Lenders shall cooperate
with each other Lender in order to obtain the maximum sale price reasonably possible upon any foreclosure or other sale of all
or any part of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all sales, transfers and other dispositions of any Collateral shall
be accomplished in a commercially reasonable manner.


 


Section
4.5.          No Other Collateral. No Lender shall take any security interest
in the personal property or liens upon the real property of the Borrower or any other Obligor other than security interests and
liens which are governed by the terms of this Agreement, other than security interests granted to a Lender to secure indebtedness
existing on the date of this Agreement and subordinated pursuant to commercially reasonable subordination agreements.


 


Section
4.6.          Rights of Lenders to Receive Payment. Nothing in
this Agreement is intended to or shall limit any Lender’s right to receive and retain regularly scheduled payments of principal
and interest, when due, on any Obligation so long as such payment does not otherwise constitute a Post-Default Payment.

Security Documents may be amended, and the performance or observance by the parties to a Credit Document or a Security Document

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS REGARDING LENDERS’ POWERS


 


Section
6.1.          Reliance by Lenders. Each Lender shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably 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, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such
Lender. Each Lender shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under this Agreement or the Security Documents
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders.


 


Section
6.2.          Non-Reliance on Other Lenders. Each Lender represents to the other Lenders
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its loans or other extensions of credit under its Credit
Documents and to enter into such agreements. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any other Lender, 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 the Security Documents and this Agreement, and to
make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished by any
Lender to the other Lenders hereunder, no Lender shall have any duty or responsibility to provide the Lenders with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower
which may come into the possession of such Lender or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section
6.3.          Determination of Amounts of Obligations. Each Lender will maintain at its principal
business office a register for the recordation of the principal amount of Obligations owing to such Lender from time to time. Upon
any request by any other Lender therefor, each Lender shall deliver to each other Lender a certificate, dated the date of delivery
thereof, signed by such Lender, as to (a) the identity of such Lender, (b) the principal amount of Obligations then outstanding
held by such Lender, (c) in the case of any such certificate being delivered in contemplation of the application of amounts pursuant
to Section 3.2 hereof, the amount of interest owing to such Lender and any other amounts in respect of Obligations owing to such
Lender (in the case of any such other amounts, accompanied by appropriate evidence thereof) and (d) in the event any of the Obligations
shall have become or been declared to be due and payable, the principal amount then owing to such Lender. If requested by any other
Lender, the Borrower shall verify any information provided any Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. For the purposes
of determining the amount of Obligations held by any Lender, absent knowledge to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to
rely on certifications received by it from the other Lenders for such purpose in accordance with the foregoing (in each case, which
certificates shall be given substantially contemporaneously with the action being taken); provided, that in the absence
of a Lender’s receipt of any certification requested by it pursuant to this sentence, such Lender shall be entitled to take
such action if such Lender shall have sufficient knowledge to make any determination required to be made in connection with such
action.
