&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in the case of a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to a requested Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing with an Interest Period of one (1) month's duration. Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Swingline Loans; Settlement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers from time to time on the Closing Date through the Commitment Revolver Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time to exceed $25.0 million or (ii) the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the Line Cap. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lenders. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. To request a Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request either in writing by delivery of a Borrowing Request (by fax, hand delivery or other electronic transmission (including ".pdf" or ".tif")) signed by the Lead Borrower or by telephone not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and, in the case of a telephonic Borrowing Request, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including ".pdf" or ".tif") to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Lead Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and the location and number of the Borrowers' account to which funds are to be disbursed.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding <u>Section 2.04(a)</u> (other than with respect to limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) therein), the Swingline Lender may make Swingline Loans from time to time in accordance with any Cash Management Services provided to the Borrowers by the Swingline Lender and the Swingline Lender may from time to time, in its sole discretion, extend Swingline Loans pursuant to any cash management system in place from time to time without giving effect to any minimum borrowing amounts, minimum prepayment amounts, timing restrictions, notice requirements on borrowing or prepaying otherwise contemplated by this Section 2.04.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers acknowledge that in the event that a reallocation of the Swingline Loan Fronting Exposure of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.22</u> does not fully cover the Swingline Loan Fronting Exposure of such Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender may require the Borrowers to, at its option, prepay or Cash Collateralize such remaining Fronting Exposure in respect of each outstanding Swingline Loan and will have no obligation to issue new Swingline Loans, or to extend, renew or amend existing Swingline Loans to the extent such Fronting Exposure would exceed the commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such remaining Fronting Exposure is Cash Collateralized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Settlement among the Revolver Lenders and the Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans shall take place on a date determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent (but at least weekly), in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Revolver Lenders. Between settlement dates, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by the Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Revolver Lender's obligation to make settlements with the Swingline Lender is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Revolver Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in <u>Section 4.02</u> are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Revolver Lenders hereunder, then each Revolver Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Swingline Lender's request therefor.

If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolver Commitments occurs at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolver Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if on the occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolver Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in <u>Section 2.05(b)</u>), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolver Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Revolver Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such maturity date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolver Commitments, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date.

SECTION 2.05.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Letters of Credit</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Issuance of Letters of Credit</u>. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes hereunder and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolver Lenders set forth in <u>Section 2.05(b)</u>, agrees to issue Letters of Credit on any Business Day on and after the Closing Date through but not including the 30th day prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or, if earlier, until the Commitment Revolver Termination Date):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank's issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon the Issuing Bank's receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as the Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) the Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least 3 Business Days (or shorter period of time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied. If, in sufficient time to act, the Issuing Bank receives written notice from Required Revolver Lenders that a LC Condition has not been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit. Prior to receipt of any such notice, the Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions. In the event that a reallocation of the Fronting Exposure with respect to Standby LC Obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.22(a)</u> does not fully cover the Fronting Exposure with respect to Standby LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender has not Cash Collateralized its obligations or otherwise made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize such remaining Fronting Exposure in respect of each outstanding Standby Letter of Credit and will have no obligation to issue new Standby Letters of Credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing Standby Letters of Credit to the extent the Fronting Exposure with respect to Standby LC Obligations would exceed the commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such remaining Fronting Exposure with respect to Standby LC Obligations is Cash Collateralized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business to backstop or replace Existing Letters of Credit through the issuance of new Letters of Credit for the account of the issuers of such Existing Letters of Credit (including, by "grandfathering" such Existing Letters of Credit in this Agreement), for any purpose permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or as otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application may be required or waived at the discretion of the Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolver Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any LC Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any LC Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any LC Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or LC Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolver Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against the Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letter of Credit or LC Document, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by the Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper person. The Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. The Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 2.05(a)</u>, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise reasonable care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, that are the result of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the apart of the applicable Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the avoidance of doubt, (a) no LC Documents shall (i) contain any representations and warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement and any representations and warranties, covenants and events of default shall be subject to the same qualifiers, exceptions and exclusions as those set forth in this Agreement or (ii) provide for any additional collateral security or Liens and (b) to the extent any of the foregoing provisions are contained therein and not contained herein, then such provisions shall be rendered null and void and any such qualifiers, exceptions and exclusions contained herein shall be deemed incorporated therein, *mutatis mutandis*.

(b) <u>Reimbursement; Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Bank, within one Business Day following receipt by the Lead Borrower of notice from the relevant Issuing Bank if such notice is received by 10:00 a.m. Local Time (and if such notice is not received by such time, then within two Business Days following receipt of such notice) ("<u>Reimbursement Date</u>"), the amount paid by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for ABR Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by the Borrowers. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and, subject to <u>Section 2.05(a)(v)</u>, shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Unless the Lead Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, whether or not Lead Borrower submits a Borrowing Request, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Revolver Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Revolver Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in <u>Section 4.02</u> are satisfied. Upon the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit, each Revolver Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Standby LC Obligations relating to the Standby Letter of Credit. If the Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Standby Letter of Credit and the Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolver Lenders and each Revolver Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Revolver Lender's Pro Rata share of such payment which is not so reimbursed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank after the date such payment is due, such Revolver Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank on demand, in addition to such amount, interest thereof calculated at a per annum rate equal to the product of (i) such amount, <u>times</u> (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank. A certificate of the Issuing Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Bank of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the Revolver Lender receives notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Standby Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolver Lender its Pro Rata share of such payment in accordance with this Section, the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Standby Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such Revolver Lender its Pro Rate share thereof; <u>provided</u>, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such Revolver Lender shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it.

The Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other person of any obligations under any LC Documents. The Issuing Bank does not make to the Revolver Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Loan Party. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Revolver Lender for: any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolver Lender or other person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if the Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until, with respect to Standby Letters of Credit, it receives written instructions from Required Revolver Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Cash Collateral</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) that Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Revolver Termination Date, or (d) within five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, then the Borrowers shall, at the Issuing Bank's or the Administrative Agent's request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of all other LC Obligations. If the Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, the Administrative Agent may (and, with respect to Standby Letters of Credit, shall upon direction of Required Revolver Lenders) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Revolver Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in <u>Section 4.2</u> are satisfied).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Provisions Related to Extended Revolver Commitment with respect to Letters of</u> <u>Credit</u>. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolver Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) with respect to Standby Letters of Credit, (x) if one or more other tranches of Revolver Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Standby Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolver Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolver Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section 2.05(b)</u>) under (and ratably participated in by the Revolver Lenders pursuant to) the Revolver Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolver Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Standby Letter of Credit may be so reallocated)), and (y) to the extent Standby Letters of Credit are not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i)(x), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with <u>Section 2.05(c)</u> and (ii) with respect to Documentary Letters of Credit (x) if one or more other tranches of Revolver Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Documentary Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued under the Revolver Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolver Commitments of the Issuing Bank with respect to such Documentary Letters of Credit thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Documentary Letter of Credit may be so reallocated)) and (y) to the extent Documentary Letters of Credit are not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (ii)(x), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with <u>Section 2.05(c)</u>. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolver Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Revolver Lenders (as to Standby Letters of Credit) and Issuing Banks (as to Documentary Letters of Credit) under the extended tranches.

The Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon at least 30 days prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written <u>agreement</u> among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. On the effective date of such resignation or replacement, the Issuing Bank shall have no further obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder, including under <u>Sections 2.05</u>, <u>8.06</u>, and <u>9.05</u>, relating to any Letter of Credit issued prior to such date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Event of Default under <u>Sections 7.01(b)</u>, <u>(c)</u>, <u>(h)</u> (with respect to the Lead Borrower only) and <u>(i)</u> (with respect to the Lead Borrower only) has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.06.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Funding of Borrowings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Lender shall make a Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; <u>provided</u> that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in <u>Section 2.04</u>. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; <u>provided</u> that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) the amount paid by the Issuing Bank pursuant to <u>Section 2.05(b)</u> shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent to be applied as contemplated by <u>Section 2.25</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of the Borrowing Request that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent (<u>provided</u>, that any such payment by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent is without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against such applicable Lender) forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and, in the case of a telephonic Interest Election Request, shall be confirmed promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day) by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including ".pdf" or ".tif") to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of <u>Exhibit D</u> and signed by the Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with <u>Section 2.02</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a <u>U.S. Government Securities</u> Business Day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination of Commitments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, and the Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations. Upon at least three (3) days (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time, the Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver Commitments and this Agreement and make Full Payment of all Obligations. Any notice of termination given by the Borrowers shall be irrevocable; <u>provided</u> that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Revolver Lender, upon at least five (5) days (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered at any time, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1.0 million, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. It being understood that the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolver Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolver Loans in accordance with this <u>Section 2.08</u>, the total Revolving Exposures would exceed the Revolver Commitments.

SECTION 2.09.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Evidence of Debt</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain the Register, as set forth in <u>Section 9.04(b)(iv)</u>, in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; <u>provided</u> that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, <u>provided further</u> that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a "<u>Note</u>") in the form of <u>Exhibit M</u>. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to <u>Section 9.04</u>) be represented by one (1) or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein.

SECTION 2.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Application of Payment in the Dominion Accounts</u>. Subject to Section 7.02, upon delivery of a written notice to the Lead Borrower from the Administrative Agent that specifies that "cash dominion" is being instituted, the ledger balance in the Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to reduce any outstanding Revolver Loans at the beginning of the next Business Day during any Liquidity Period. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall accrue interest in favor of the Borrowers and shall be made available to the Borrowers as long as no Event of Default is continuing. During a Liquidity Period, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds in the Dominion Account or any Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right during such Liquidity Period to apply and reapply the same against any outstanding Revolver Loans, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Repayment of Principal</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers shall repay any Term Loans on the applicable Term Maturity Date (after giving effect to any Extension pursuant to <u>Section 2.24</u>) in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date applicable to such Revolver Loans, unless payment is sooner required hereunder.

SECTION 2.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Prepayment of Loans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Optional Prepayments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, three <u>U.S. Government Securities</u> Business Days before the date of prepayment or (B) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in <u>Section 2.02(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to <u>Section 2.25</u>, to the extent that at any time the aggregate Revolving Exposures for all Revolver Lenders exceeds the Line Cap, the Borrowers shall first repay such outstanding Revolver Loans (and thereafter Cash Collateralize such outstanding LC Obligations, to the extent remaining) in an amount equal to such excess.

SECTION 2.13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Administrative Agent Fee</u>. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the agency fees set forth in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter at the times and in the amount specified therein (the "<u>Fees</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Unused Line Fee</u>. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Revolver Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate multiplied by the amount by which the Revolver Commitments (other than Revolver Commitments of a Defaulting Lender) exceed the average daily balance of outstanding Revolver Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit during any fiscal quarter (such fee, the "<u>Unused Line Fee</u>"). Such fee shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each fiscal quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate or related information for any period delivered pursuant to <u>Section 5.12(a)</u> is inaccurate while the Revolver Commitments are in effect, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Unused Line Fee Rate for such period than the Unused Line Fee Rate actually used to determine the Unused Line Fee for such period, then (a) the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such period, (b) the Unused Line Fee Rate for such period shall be retroactively determined based on the Availability as set forth in the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate and (c) if the quarterly payment date for such period has already occurred, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders during such period or their successors and permitted assigns) the accrued additional Unused Line Fee owing as a result of such increased or decreased Unused Line Fee Rate for such period. This Section 2.13(b)(ii) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 2.13</u> or <u>Article VII</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>LC Facility Fees</u>. The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Revolver Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loans times the daily stated amount of outstanding Standby Letters of Credit, which fee shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and be payable in arrears, on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter; (ii) [reserved], (iii) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee not in excess of 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each Standby Letter of Credit, which fee shall be calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and payable in arrears, on the first day of each fiscal quarter (the fee in this clause (iii), the "<u>Issuing Bank Fee</u>"); and (iv) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, registration, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred upon demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All fees set forth in <u>Section 2.12(a)</u>, <u>(b)</u> and <u>(c)</u> shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable. Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Loans comprising each Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurodollar<u>SOFR Loan</u> Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin <u>plus the SOFR Spread Adjustment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of fees, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (in each case, the "<u>Default Rate</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolver Loans, upon termination of the applicable Revolver Commitments, and (iii) in the case of any Term Loans, on each Term Loan Maturity Date and any other date on which a payment of principal is required pursuant to <u>Section 2.11(b)</u>; <u>provided</u> that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Eurodollar Base Rate or Eurodollar<u>SOFR and SOFR Loan</u> Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate or related information for any period delivered pursuant to <u>Section 5.12(a)</u> is inaccurate while the Loans are outstanding or the Revolver Commitments are in effect, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for such period than the Applicable Margin actually used to determine the interest rate for such period, then (a) the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such period, (b) the Applicable Margin for such period shall be retroactively determined based on the Availability as set forth in the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate and (c) if the Interest Payment Date for such period has already occurred, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders during such period or their successors and permitted assigns) the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased or decreased Applicable Margin for such period. This Section 2.14(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 2.14</u> or <u>Article VII</u>.

SECTION 2.15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Alternate Rate of Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If<u>Subject to clause (c) below, if</u> prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Required Lenders reasonably determine that the Eurodollar Base<u>SOFR</u> <u>Loan</u> Rate or the Eurodollar Rate<u>Term SOFR</u>, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent (upon receiving notice from the Required Lenders of any such determination) shall give written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly when such circumstances no longer exist), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Upon receiving such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If<u>Subject to clause (c) below, if</u> any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market<u>secured overnight financing rate</u>, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert or prepay all Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

Any successor/replacement index and alternate methodology shall be an interest-based index, variations in the value of which can reasonably be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in United States Dollars, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. In order to account for the relationship of the replacement index to the pre-existing and applicable Eurodollar Base Rate, such alternate method shall incorporate any additional spread or margin to any replacement index as is necessary, in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion, in an effort to ensure that the alternate method will measure interest rates in a manner similar to the pre-existing Eurodollar Base Rate. The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and<u>Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment or further action or consent of any other party hereto, and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend the terms of this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement, with any such amendment to become effective as soon as practicable for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, without any further action or consent of any other party. No replacement of SOFR (or the then-current Benchmark) with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (y) above will occur prior to the earlier of (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (ii) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This <u>Section 2.18(f)</u> shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person.

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent (at which time such Lender shall be deemed an "<u>Affected Lender</u>"), any obligations of such Affected Lender to make or continue Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings shall be suspended until such Affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings of such Affected Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar<u>SOFR</u> Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Affected Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans.

A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of a Defaulting Lender's Revolver Commitment, as applicable, shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee Rate under <u>Section</u> <u>2.13(b)</u>. To the extent any Standby LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Revolver Lenders, Letter of Credit fees attributable to such Standby LC Obligations under <u>Section</u> <u>2.13(c)</u> shall be paid to such other Revolver Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be paid all Letter of Credit fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not so reallocated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Revolver Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender's Revolver Commitments and Revolver Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, Standby LC Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among the Lenders and settled by the Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed in writing by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (each of which shall make such determination, in its sole discretion), no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Revolver Lender. The failure of any Revolver Lender to fund a Revolver Loan, to make a payment in respect of Standby LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this <u>Section 2.24(b)</u>, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of <u>Sections 2.12</u>, <u>2.19</u>, <u>9.06</u> and <u>9.19</u>, as applicable, (ii) the amortization schedule of any outstanding Term Loans shall be adjusted to give effect to an Extension of the relevant Term Loans and (iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(x) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or minimum increment, <u>provided</u> that the Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition (a "<u>Minimum Extension Condition</u>") to consummating any such Extension that a greater minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the sole discretion of the Borrowers and may be waived by the Borrowers) of Term Loans or of Revolver Commitments, as applicable, of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this <u>Section 2.24</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans or any Extended Revolver Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, <u>Sections 2.12</u>, <u>2.19</u>, <u>9.06</u> and <u>9.19,</u> as applicable) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this <u>Section 2.24</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to Term Loans or one or more of its Revolver Commitments (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolver Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a *pari passu* basis with all other applicable Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Term Loans or Revolver Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this <u>Section 2.24</u>. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the earliest Revolver Termination Date (but in no event later than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date) in respect of the Revolver Commitments shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding non-extended Revolver Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolver Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolver Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolver Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Security Document that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date or Revolver Termination Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent) or Revolver Termination Date, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days' (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof.

------

SECTION 2.25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Overadvances</u>. If the aggregate Revolving Exposures for all Revolver Lenders exceeds the lesser of the aggregate Revolver Commitments and the then applicable Borrowing Base (an "<u>Overadvance</u>") at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may require the Revolver Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five (5) consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances and Protective Advances is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $500,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposures for all Revolver Lenders to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. The making of any Overadvance shall not create nor constitute a Default or Event of Default; it being understood that the making or continuance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Revolver Lenders of the then existing Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be permitted to require any Overadvance Loan to be made.

SECTION 2.26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Protective Advances</u>. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to and consultation with the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make ABR Loans under the Revolver Facility ("<u>Protective Advances</u>") (i) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans, not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations; or (ii) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses; <u>provided</u> that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances <u>plus</u> the outstanding amount of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations shall not exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Each Revolver Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Revolver Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent's authority to make further Protective Advances under preceding clause (i) by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent's determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Administrative Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to (x) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (y) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Administrative Agent's Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower after paying any such amount or taking any such action and shall not make payment of any item that is being Properly Contested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Revolver Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in such Protective Advance. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolver Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Revolver Lender, such Revolver Lender's Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral (if any) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Pro Rata interest.

------

SECTION 2.27.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Lead Borrower</u>. Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Borrowing Request) delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

SECTION 2.28.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Borrower, jointly and severally, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without the preferences or distinction among them. The Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to the Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans, LC Exposure or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Loans made to one of them, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of one of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans made to the other of the Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The obligations of each Borrower under this <u>Section 2.28</u> shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The provisions of this <u>Section 2.28</u> shall remain in effect until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this <u>Section 2.28</u> hereof will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal, state or provincial and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives, until the Full Payment of all Obligations, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior Full Payment of all Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice (to the extent notice is waivable under Applicable Law), against (i) with respect to Secured Obligations of the Borrowers, either or all of them or (ii) with respect to Secured Obligations of any Borrower, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the applicable Secured Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other person, or against any security or collateral for the Secured Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a Loan, Letter of Credit or other extension of credit is made to, or with respect to business of, one Borrower and any other Borrower makes any payments with respect to such Loan, LC Obligation or extension of credit, the first Borrower shall promptly reimburse such other Borrower for all payments so made by such other Borrower.

SECTION 2.29.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Reallocations on the Closing Date</u>. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Revolver Commitments of each of the Revolver Lenders as existing immediately prior to the Closing Date, shall be reallocated among the Revolver Lenders so that the Revolver Commitments are held by the Revolver Lenders as set forth on <u>Schedule 2.01</u>. To effect such reallocations, each Revolver Lender who either had no Revolver Commitment prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or whose Revolver Commitment upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds its Revolver Commitment immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an "<u>Assignee</u> <u>Revolver Lender</u>") shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Revolver Commitments from the Revolver Lenders whose Revolver Commitments upon the effectiveness of this Agreement are less than their respective Revolver Commitment immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an "<u>Assignor Revolver Lender</u>"), so that the Revolver Commitments of the Revolver Lenders will be held by the Revolver Lenders as set forth on <u>Schedule</u> <u>2.01</u>. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Acceptance without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for Notes to be provided to the Assignor Revolver Lenders and Assignee Revolver Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Revolver Commitments, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Revolver Lenders, the Assignee Revolver Lenders and the other Lenders (if any) shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the Closing Date and any netting transaction effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolver Loans shall be held by the Revolver Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Revolver Commitments set forth on <u>Schedule 2.01</u>.

By the twentieth (20th) day of each fiscal month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver same to the Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate (the first date such first Borrowing Base Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder, the "<u>Initial Borrowing Base Delivery Date</u>") prepared as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the previous month. All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall be made by the Borrowers and certified by a Responsible Officer, <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation in consultation with the Lead Borrower to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve. By the twentieth (20th) day after the end of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the first fiscal quarter of 2019) and from time to time upon request, the Lead Borrower shall deliver updates, if any, to <u>Schedule L</u> to the Collateral Questionnaire (at the request of the Administrative Agent, without giving effect to any per location amount thresholds or limitations set forth in the Collateral Questionnaire) to reflect all locations of Inventory at the end of the fiscal quarter then ended.

Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to the Administrative Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on a periodic basis (but not more frequently than at the time of delivery of each of the financials required pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>). If Accounts owing from any single Account Debtor (other than a Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor) in an aggregate face amount of $5.0 million or more cease to be Eligible Accounts, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) after any Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower has actual knowledge thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Maintenance of Dominion Account</u>. The Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall establish such lockbox or other arrangement as provided in clause <u>(j)</u> of the definition of "Collateral and Guarantee Requirement." The Administrative Agent and the Lenders assume no responsibility to the Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any check, draft or other item of payment payable to a Borrower (including those constituting proceeds of Collateral) accepted by any bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Proceeds of Collateral</u>.

If any Borrower receives cash or any check, draft or other item of payment payable to a Borrower with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and promptly deposit the same into any such Deposit Account or Dominion Account.

Subject to clause <u>(j)</u> of the definition of "Collateral and Guarantee Requirement," each Loan Party shall take all actions necessary to establish the Administrative Agent's control (within the meaning of the UCC) over each such Deposit Account other than Excluded Deposit Accounts at all times. Each Loan Party shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other person (other than the Administrative Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any deposits therein. Each Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Deposit Accounts), and shall not open any Deposit Accounts (other than any Excluded Deposit Accounts) at a Bank not reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be "public-side" Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 5.14</u> or otherwise are being distributed through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, Syndtrak or another relevant website or other information platform (the "<u>Platform</u>"), any document or notice that the Borrowers have indicated contains Nonpublic Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrowers have not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 5.14</u> contains Nonpublic Information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their securities. By marking any documents, information or other data "PUBLIC," the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Lenders to treat such documents, information or other data as not containing Nonpublic Information. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the list of Disqualified Institutions does not constitute Nonpublic Information and shall be posted promptly to all Lenders by the Administrative Agent (including any updates thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each "public-side" Lender as described in paragraph (a) of this Section agrees to cause at least one (1) individual at or on behalf of such Lender to at all times have selected the "private side information" or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Lender's compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the "public side information" portion of the Platform and that may contain Nonpublic Information with respect to Parent, the Borrowers or the securities of any of the foregoing for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any "public-side" Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such "public-side" Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) none of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger has any responsibility for such "public-side" Lender's decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Designation of Subsidiaries</u>. The board of directors of the Lead Borrower may at any time designate or re-designate (x) any Restricted Subsidiary of any Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (an "<u>Unrestricted Subsidiary Designation</u>") or (y) any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a "<u>Subsidiary Redesignation</u>"); <u>provided</u> that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) after giving effect to such designation, the Lead Borrower is in compliance with the Total Leverage Condition, (iii) no Borrower may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iv) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a "Restricted Subsidiary" for any other Indebtedness in excess of the Threshold Amount, (v) as of the last date of designation thereof, no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall own any Equity Interests in any Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party or hold any Indebtedness of, or Lien on any property of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, (vi) no Unrestricted Subsidiary may own or hold any material Intellectual Property or (vii) the holder of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not have any recourse to any Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party with respect to such Indebtedness (unless such Indebtedness is otherwise permitted under <u>Section 6.01</u>). The designation of any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrowers therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion (proportionate to such Borrower's equity interest in such subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted under <u>Section 6.04)</u>. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Restricted Subsidiary existing at such time. As of the date of any designation, the Lead Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer's certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower certifying to such officer's knowledge, compliance with the requirements of this <u>Section 5.15</u>, including the calculation to demonstrate satisfaction of the Total Leverage Condition.

Each such equity contribution is referred to as a "<u>Cure Action</u>." The proceeds of any Cure Action may be included solely in the calculation of EBITDA (solely for purposes of calculating the ratio in <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> and not for any other purpose hereunder (including for purposes of determining any financial ratio-based conditions, pricing or the availability of any basket under <u>Article</u> <u>VI</u> of this Agreement), and there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness (directly through repayment or indirectly through netting) with the proceeds of such Cure Action in connection with determining such calculation during the period in which such proceeds are included in EBITDA) at the request of the Lead Borrower as if such proceeds were contributed on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter, and must be sufficient (but may not be in excess of the amount required) to cause the Loan Parties to be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the financial covenant set forth in <u>Section 6.10(a)</u>. No more than two (2) Cure Actions may be taken in any four (4) fiscal quarter period and no more than five (5) Cure Actions may be taken during the term of this Agreement. If, after giving effect to the Cure Action, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the requirements of <u>Section 6.10(a)</u>, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Event of Default with respect to <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement. To the extent a fiscal quarter for which such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is initially recalculated as a result of such Cure Action is included in the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in a subsequent fiscal period, the results of the Cure Action shall be included in the amount of EBITDA for such fiscal quarter in such subsequent fiscal period. After the occurrence of the breach, Default or Event of Default resulting from a failure to comply with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u>, if the Lead Borrower has given the Administrative Agent notice that it intends to cure such breach, Default or Event of Default pursuant to a Cure Action, neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall exercise any rights or remedies under <u>Article VII</u> (or under any Loan Document) available during the continuance of any breach, Default or Event of Default on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> (provided, that during such time no Lender shall be required to fund any Revolver Loans and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit) until such failure is not cured on or prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day cure period referenced above.

SECTION 6.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fiscal Year</u>. The Borrowers and the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall not, nor shall they permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, change its fiscal year end to a date other than the Saturday nearest January 31 of each year.

SECTION 6.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Further Negative Pledges</u>. Except with respect to (a) restrictions contained in the Loan Documents, (b) specific property encumbered to secure payment of particular Indebtedness or to be sold pursuant to an executed agreement with respect to a permitted Disposition and (c) restrictions by reason of customary provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses and similar arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business (provided that such restrictions are limited to the property or assets secured by such Liens or the property or assets subject to such leases, licenses or similar agreements, as the case may be) neither any of the Borrowers Nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement prohibiting the creation or assumption of any Lien upon any of its Material Real Property.

If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero. The allocations set forth in this <u>Section 7.02</u> are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties as among themselves, and may, except as set forth in the next sentence, be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party.

If any monies remain after distribution to all of the categories above, such monies shall be returned to the Borrowers.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Appointment, Authority and Duties of the Administrative</u> <u>Agent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Appointment and Authority</u>. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and designates M&T as the Administrative Agent under all Loan Documents and M&T hereby accepts such appointments. The Administrative Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the benefit of Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. The provisions of this <u>Article VIII</u> are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as the Administrative Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. The Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or Eligible In-Transit Inventory, whether to impose or release any Availability Reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Administrative Agent from liability to any Lender or other person for any error in judgment. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative 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.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon the Administrative Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders or the Required Revolver Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in <u>Section 9.08</u>); <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability, if the Administrative Agent is not indemnified to its satisfactory, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable legal requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under the Bankruptcy Code any other debtor relief law, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (A) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Section 9.08</u>) or (B) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Agent Professionals</u>. The Administrative Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. The Administrative Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. None of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties or Agent Professionals shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this <u>Article VIII</u> shall apply to the Administrative Agent, each Related Party of the Administrative Agent and each Agent Professional and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Revolver Facility provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Related Party of the Administrative Agent or any Agent Professional, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Instructions of Required Lenders</u>. The rights and remedies conferred upon the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. The Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any act. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific Lenders or Secured Parties shall be required to the extent provided in <u>Section 9.08(b)</u>. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any of its Related Parties to personal liability.

The Administrative Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Reports</u>.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any such delay in acting. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors.

SECTION 8.04.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Action Upon Default</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in <u>Article IV</u>, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except with the written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

SECTION 8.05.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Payments Received by Defaulting Lender</u>.

The Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Secured Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Secured Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor.

Neither the Lead Arranger nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to ascertain or inquire as to whether any Person is, or have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Institutions.

SECTION 8.07.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Successor Administrative Agent.Resignation; Successor</u> <u>Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent may (a) resign with the written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Lead Borrower (with no such consent required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (b) if at any time the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, be removed by the Lead Borrower, in each case by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Upon receipt of such notice or resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and with the consent of the Lead Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $1.0 billion and (<u>provided</u> no Event of Default exists under <u>Sections 7.01(b)</u>, <u>7.01(h)</u> (with respect to the Borrowers only) and <u>7.01(i)</u> (with respect to the Borrowers only) is subject to the approval of the Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent from among the Lenders or, if no Lender accepts such role, the Administrative Agent may appoint the Required Lenders as successor Administrative Agent; <u>provided</u> that (x) in the case of a resignation, if such Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Lead Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Lead Borrower to enable the Lead Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Lead Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided for above in this <u>Article VIII</u>. Upon acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of an appointment to serve as the Administrative Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of Required Lenders as successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in <u>Section 8.15</u>. The fees payable by the Lead Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor.

It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Administrative Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may appoint, subject to the approval of the Lead Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), an additional person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Administrative Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

SECTION 8.08.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Due Diligence and Non-Reliance</u>. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and, with respect to the Revolver Lenders only, participate in Standby LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Loan Parties. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Secured Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and, with respect to the Revolver Lenders only, participating in Standby LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to or expressly requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates.

SECTION 8.09.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Remittance of Payments and Collections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Remittances Generally</u>. All payments by any Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day. Payment by the Administrative Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent's right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Failure to Pay</u>. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Borrower be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to the Administrative Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.22</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Recovery of Payments</u>. If the Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Administrative Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then the Administrative Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Administrative Agent to any Secured Obligations are later required to be returned by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

SECTION 8.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity</u>. As a Lender, M&T shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders" or any similar term shall include M&T in its capacity as a Lender. M&T and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if M&T were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. In their individual capacities, M&T and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that M&T and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.

SECTION 8.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Administrative Agent Titles</u>. Each Lender, other than M&T, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by M&T as an "Agent" or "Arranger" of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders in their capacity as such, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

SECTION 8.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Bank Product Providers</u>. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to the Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by this <u>Article VIII</u>. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider's Secured Bank Product Obligations.

SECTION 8.13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Survival</u>. This <u>Article VIII</u> shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Other than <u>Sections 8.01</u>, <u>8.04</u> and <u>8.07</u>, this <u>Article VIII</u> does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other person. As between Borrowers and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

SECTION 8.14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Withholding Tax</u>. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of <u>Section 2.18</u>, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective).A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 8.14</u>. The agreements in this <u>Section 8.14</u> shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this <u>Section 8.14</u>, the term "Lender" includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.

SECTION 8.15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Indemnification</u>. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Parent or the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Parent or the Borrowers to do so), each in an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on its applicable outstanding Loans in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this <u>Section 8.15</u> (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans and Obligations shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date)) thereof, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY RELATED PARTIES); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Administrative Agent's or Lead Arranger's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

------

SECTION 8.16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Intercreditor Agreements</u> The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any intercreditor agreement on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent contemplated hereby with respect to Indebtedness that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens and which Indebtedness contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such intercreditor agreement, an "<u>Additional Agreement</u>"), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Additional Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Additional Agreement which is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Additional Agreement.

(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Administrative Agent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender; provided, that no consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment for all or any portion of a Term Loan.

(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Related Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Revolver Commitments, Revolver Loans or Term Loans, the amount of the Revolver Commitments, Revolver Loans or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million, unless each of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, <u>provided</u> that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Related Funds, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administration Agent); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable tax form required under <u>Section 2.18(e)</u>.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than any purported assignment or transfer to a Disqualified Institution) that does not comply with this <u>Section 9.04</u> shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this <u>Section 9.04</u>. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender's Term Loans or Revolver Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to <u>Section 2.20</u> or this <u>Section 9.04</u> would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under <u>Section</u> <u>2.16</u>, <u>2.18</u> or <u>2.21</u> from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolver Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the Term Loans, Revolver Loans and the LC Obligations owing to, each Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender (with respect to any entry related to such Lender's Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Neither the Lead Arranger nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to ascertain or inquire as to whether any Person is, or have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Institutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee (subject to clause (f)), the Eligible Assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Eligible Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any applicable tax form required under <u>Section 2.18(e)</u>, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (i) above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one (1) or more banks or other entities (other than to any Disqualified Institution) (a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolver Commitments and the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; <u>provided</u> that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to <u>Section 9.04(a)(i)</u> or clauses <u>(i)</u> through <u>(vi)</u> of the first proviso to <u>Section 9.08(b)</u>. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this <u>Section 9.04</u>, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u> and <u>2.18</u> (subject to the requirements and limitations with respect thereto) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this <u>Section 9.04</u>. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 9.06</u> as though it were a Lender, <u>provided</u> such Participant shall be subject to <u>Section 2.19(c)</u> as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Term Loans, Revolver Commitments, Revolver Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loans, Revolver Commitment, Revolver Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u> or <u>2.18</u> than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower's prior written consent expressly acknowledging such Participant may receive a greater benefit. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 2.18</u> to the extent such Participant fails to comply with <u>Section 2.18(e)</u> as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to a Disqualified Institution or a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this <u>Section 9.04</u> shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; <u>provided</u> that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee (including any Eligible Assignee) for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If any assignment or participation under this <u>Section 9.04</u> is made (or attempted to be made) (i) to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrowers' prior written consent or (ii) to the extent the Borrowers' consent is required under the terms of this <u>Section 9.04</u>, to any other person without the Borrowers' consent, then such assignment or participation shall be void ab initio, and the Borrowers shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Borrowers at equity or law without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrowers would suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any of its obligations under <u>Sections 9.04(a)</u> or <u>9.04(d)</u> insofar as such Sections relate to any assignment, participation or pledge to a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution without the Borrowers' prior written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; each Affiliated Lender shall identify itself as such in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance;
