**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On March 26, 2026, Fermi Turbine Warehouse II LLC ("FTW II"), a Texas limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Fermi, Inc., entered into an Equipment Supply Loan Financing Agreement (the "Beal Credit Agreement") with CLMG Corp., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (the "Beal Agent"), and the lenders party thereto (the "Beal Lenders"), to fund the acquisition of six Siemens Energy SGT-800 industrial gas turbines and related equipment for Project Matador (the "Beal Equipment Financing"). FTW II is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Fermi, Inc. held through Fermi Turbine Pledgor II LLC ("Pledgor") and Fermi Turbine HoldCo II LLC ("Holdings"). The Sponsor (Fermi Inc.) is the indirect owner of 100% of the membership interests in each of Pledgor, Holdings and FTW II. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Beal Credit Agreement.

The Beal Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $165.0 million (the "Total Loan Commitment"). Borrowings may be made from the closing date through the maturity date, subject to a maximum of 45 borrowings during the loan availability period. Of the Total Loan Commitment, up to $22.9 million is reserved to fund interest, commitment fee, and agent fee payments. Each loan under the Beal Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest accrues at a default rate of 14.00% per annum.

Proceeds of the loans may be used to pay equipment acquisition costs, including progress payments to Siemens Energy, Inc. under an equipment supply agreement originally entered into in October 2025 and subsequently assigned to FTW II, and to pay financing costs, including interest and fees.

The loans mature on the date that is 33 months after the closing date. On the maturity date (or upon earlier payment in full), FTW II is required to pay an exit fee equal to $37.0 million less the cumulative amount of interest and commitment fees paid to the lenders through such date.

The Beal Credit Agreement also provides for an unused commitment fee of 1% per annum on the daily unused and uncancelled portion of the commitments, payable quarterly in arrears.

The obligations under the Beal Equipment Financing are secured by a first-priority security interest in the financed equipment and related collateral. Holdings and Pledgor have each provided a guaranty of FTW II's obligations under the Beal Credit Agreement, and the Company has provided a separate guaranty of FTW II's obligations and agreed to make certain equity contributions pursuant to a Sponsor Equity Contribution and Guaranty Agreement. Under the Sponsor Equity Contribution and Guaranty Agreement, the Company is required to make a minimum equity contribution of $5,490,000 to be applied toward progress payments under the Equipment Supply Agreement.

The Beal Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of equipment (subject to a permitted disposition of up to three turbines in a single transaction under certain conditions, including mandatory prepayment of 100% of net cash proceeds), investments, affiliate transactions, amendments to the equipment supply and storage agreements, and change of control. Events of default under the Beal Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to make payments, bankruptcy, misrepresentations, cross-default (with respect to debt or guarantees of any Loan Party in excess of $5.0 million in the aggregate), breach of supply and storage agreements, loss of applicable permits, loss of collateral, and change of control.

Mandatory prepayment of the loans is required upon, among other things, an event of loss, a disposition of equipment or equity interests, a change of control, receipt of performance or delay liquidated damages under the supply and storage agreements, or receipt of non-permitted debt proceeds.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any 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;(iv) *Availability of Funds*.

Payments by Borrower pursuant to this Section <u>2.4(d)(ii)</u> shall be made within ten (10) days from the date Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4(d)</u> (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4(d)(ii)</u>), it agrees to repay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this ***‎***Section <u>2.4(d)(ii)</u> with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event it is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This <u>Section 2.4(d)</u> shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to make any payment that would leave it in a worse net after-tax position than it would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to a refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed.

&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) *Indemnification by Lenders*. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 10.19(b)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Financing Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Financing Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 2.4(d)(iii)</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;(iv) *Notice*. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, the Loan Parties shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in <u>Section 10.2</u>, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, or if such receipt is not obtainable, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) *Survival of Obligations*. The obligations under this Section <u>2.4(d)</u> and Section <u>2.4(f)</u> below shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Financing Document.

&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) *Defined Terms*. For purposes of this <u>Section 2.4(d)</u> and <u>Section 2.4(f)</u>, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Failure to Pay Administrative Agent*. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower at least two (2) Banking Days prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, such Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at a rate equal to the Interest Rate. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing by such Lender under this Section <u>2.4(e)</u> shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Status of 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Financing Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections 2.4(f)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>2.4(f)(ii)(B)</u> and 2.4<u>(f)(ii)(D)</u> below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Without limiting the generality of 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

&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;(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is 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;&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;(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

&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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-1</u> to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "**U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate**") and (y) copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable); or

&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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-2</u> or <u>Exhibit F-3</u>, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; *provided* that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-4</u> on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

&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;(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), copies of executed versions of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "**FATCA**" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person, a duly executed U.S. IRS Form W-8IMY (A) certifying that such Administrative Agent is a qualified intermediary, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(ii) (or any successor thereto) and (B) assuming primary responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders or evidencing its agreement with Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to payments for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) (or any successor 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participations in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the participant shall comply and be bound by the terms of <u>Section 2.4(d)</u> and this <u>Section 2.4(f)</u> as though it were such Lender. The participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold, assigned or granted to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment result from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Pro Rata Treatment*. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) each Borrowing consisting of Loans and each reduction of the Total Loan Commitment shall be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares, and (ii) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the Lenders holding such Loans pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Lenders and (iii) each payment of the Exit Fee shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Sharing of Payments, Etc*. If any Lender (a "**Benefited Bank**") shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations (or interest thereon) owed to it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such Obligations owed to all Lenders entitled to such payments pursuant with this Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; and if after taking into account such participations the Benefited Bank continues to have access to additional funds of Borrower for application on account of its debt, then the Benefited Bank shall use such funds to reduce indebtedness of Borrower held by it and share such payments with the other Lenders; *provided*, *however*, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section <u>2.4(h)</u> may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Application of Payments*. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, all payments made under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents and all other amounts received by Administrative Agent and the other Lenders under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents shall be applied as follows:

 

*first*, to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the other Lenders hereunder or under the other Financing Documents (such application to be made on a pro rata basis among such Persons);

 

*second*, to the Exit Fee (if such payment is made hereunder, or received by the Secured Parties, on or after the Maturity Date);

 

*third,* to any accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing in respect of the Obligations;

 

*fourth*, to outstanding principal then due and owing or otherwise to be paid, repaid and/or prepaid in respect of the Obligations; and

 

*fifth*, to all other Obligations as remain outstanding.

Section 2.5 *Change of Circumstances*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Illegality*. If, after the date of this Agreement, (i) the adoption by any Governmental Authority or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation, or treaty of any by any Governmental Authority, (ii) any change in any law, rule or regulation or treaty of any Governmental Authority or in the administration, interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the making or issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority whether or not retroactively applied (a "**Change of Law**") shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to continue to perform its obligations to fund or maintain its Loans under this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a "**Change of Law**", regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. Upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of such Lender to fund any additional Loans shall be suspended, and if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its outstanding Loans, Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), promptly prepay such Lender's outstanding Loans. Any such prepayment shall be made together with accrued interest and any other amounts due under <u>Section 2.7</u>, and shall be deemed a prepayment for purposes of Section <u>2.2(f)</u> or otherwise. Such prepayment shall not affect the aggregate Commitments hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Increased Costs*. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change of Law:

&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) shall subject any Lender to any Taxes with respect to any Obligation or Commitment (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes); or

&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) shall impose on any Lender any other condition (other than Taxes) directly related to any Obligation or Commitment;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in or maintaining any such Obligation or Commitment or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder or under the Notes, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Capital Requirements*. If any Lender reasonably determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by or liquidity requirements such Lender or the Lending Office of such Lender (a "**Capital Adequacy Requirement**") and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Lending Office which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, upon demand of Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, such amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender for the increased costs to such Lender of such increased capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Notice*. Each Lender will notify Administrative Agent of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section <u>2.5</u>, as promptly as is reasonable, and in no event later than two (2) days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement has actual knowledge of such claim, and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of such event; *provided* that any Lender's failure to notify Administrative Agent within such two (2)-day period of such assertion shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section <u>2.5</u> with respect to claims arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section <u>2.5</u> with respect to the time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice as provided herein. Any Lender seeking compensation under this <u>Section 2.5</u> shall promptly deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this <u>Section 2.5</u>, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.6 *Funding Losses*. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any Loans, on any day other than the last day of an Interest Payment Date for such Loans (whether pursuant to <u>Section 2.2(f)(iii)</u> or 2.2<u>(f)(iv)</u>), (b) fail to borrow any Loans, as applicable, in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing, delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), or (c) fail to make any prepayment of a Loan, as applicable, in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent; then Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for all costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment or failure which shall include, any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained ("**Liquidation Costs**"). Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund Loans. Each Lender demanding payment under this <u>Section 2.6</u> shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth and reasonably accounting for the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such certificate to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with regard to any payments pursuant to <u>Section 2.2(f)(iii)</u> or the events described in clauses (b) and (c) above, each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any Liquidation Costs, at Borrower's request, by waiting to apply payments made pursuant to Section <u>2.2(f)(iv)</u> until the last day of an Interest Payment Date (provided that, for purposes of clarification, Loans corresponding to such Mandatory Prepayments shall be deemed to remain outstanding for purposes of the Financing Documents until such Mandatory Prepayments are applied to Loans).

Section 2.7 *Alternate Office; Minimization of Costs*. (a) To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its Loans to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, <u>2.5(b)</u> or 2.5<u>(c)</u>, or to avoid the unavailability of any Loans under <u>Section 2.5(a)</u>, so long as such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, does not determine that such designation is materially disadvantageous to such Lender. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, <u>2.5(b)</u> or 2.5<u>(c)</u> to avoid the unavailability of any Loans under <u>Section 2.5(a)</u>, so long as such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, does not determine that such action is materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Lender may designate a Lending Office other than that set forth on <u>Schedule 2.7</u> and may assign all of its interests under the Financing Documents, and its Notes, to such Lending Office; *provided* that such designation and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, <u>2.5(b)</u> or 2.5<u>(c)</u>or make Loans unavailable under <u>Section 2.5(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any additional costs, taxes, expense or obligation which might otherwise be imposed on Borrower pursuant to <u>Sections 2.4(d)</u>, 2.5<u>(a)</u>, <u>2.5(b)</u> or 2.5<u>(c)</u>; *provided*, *however*, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on any Lender of any material additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens unless Borrower shall provide such Lender with an indemnification for such additional costs in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender and shall not in any respect other than such indemnified costs or burdens be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.8 *Tax Treatment*. The Loan Parties and each of the Lenders agree to treat the Loans as debt of Borrower (or the Person from whom Borrower is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will not take or permit any of its Affiliates to take any positions inconsistent with such position unless required by applicable law following a "final determination" within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

Article 3<br> **Conditions Precedent**

Section 3.1 *Conditions Precedent to the Closing Date*. The obligation of the Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the prior satisfaction of each of the following conditions (unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders pursuant to Section <u>10.1</u>):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Formation Documents*. Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a copy of the certificate of formation of each Loan Party, each certified by the Secretary of State of the applicable State of formation and (ii) a copy of the operating agreement of each Loan Party, certified by a Responsible Officer of such Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Good Standing*.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor's liability shall extend to all Obligations that would be owed by any other Person in respect of the Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of proceedings under any bankruptcy laws or other debtor relief laws involving such Person. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, the maximum liability of a Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

Section 8.3 *Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional*. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, acceleration or accrual of any of the Obligations, or any increase in the amount of the Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or the other Financing Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Collateral Agent upon the Guaranty or acceptance of the Guaranty; the Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the Guaranty, and all dealings between or among Borrower and a Guarantor, on the one hand, and Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or such Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor (including the Collateral) or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Collateral Agent, or the lack of validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or Lien, any taking, exchange or release of any or all collateral (including any of the Collateral) securing, or purporting to secure, the Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other Financing Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrower, a Guarantor or otherwise; (c) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any matter of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any property of a Guarantor; (d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or a Guarantor; (e) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person against Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party; or (f) any other circumstance whatsoever (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise (with or without notice to or knowledge of Borrower or a Guarantor) constitute, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower for the Obligations, or of a Guarantor under the Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (in each case, other than defense of Payment in Full of the Obligations). Each Guarantor guarantees that its obligations will not be affected by any circumstances that constitute legal or equitable discharge of a Guarantor or any surety and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against such Guarantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, including any separate action or actions brought and prosecuted against Borrower or a Guarantor to enforce this Agreement (irrespective of whether any action is brought against Borrower or such Guarantor or whether Borrower or such Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions), and any failure by Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve a Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Collateral Agent against such Guarantor.

Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, and shall not be a trustee for, or fiduciary of, any Lender or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Financing Documents or any Legal Requirement or exposes such Agent to any liability. None of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or their respective Affiliates contained in this Agreement or any other Financing Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Financing Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by any Loan Party or its respective Affiliates to perform its respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) None of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Financing Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until such Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by such Agent with reasonable care and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any other Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Operative Document; (iv) other than with respect to items expressly required to be delivered, or payments made, to it, shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Operative Document on the part of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Borrower or any other Person; and (v) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Operative Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to the Financing Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all the Lenders) and with respect to Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon three (3) Banking Day's notice by Borrower, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all such documents (including lien releases, UCC termination statements, intellectual property releases and other similar discharge or release documents) and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by Borrower to effect or evidence such release.

Section 9.2 *Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent*. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, telecopy or telex) reasonably believed by such Agent to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any other matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders or, where expressly provided, all of the Lenders, or with respect to Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent (except that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action which exposes such Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any Legal Requirement) and shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Financing Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all of the Lenders), or with respect to Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, where applicable) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders (and in the case of Collateral Agent, all of the Secured Parties).

Section 9.3 *Non-Reliance*. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and its respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. None of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any Lender shall be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party or any of its respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

Section 9.4 *Defaults*. Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent (each acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and not in any other capacity) shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or Borrower (or, in the case of Collateral Agent, it has received a written notice from Administrative Agent), referring to this Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a "notice of default." If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders and Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall take such action with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in <u>Article 7</u> or if not provided for in Article <u>7</u>, as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be directed by the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all of the Lenders), or, with respect to Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent; *provided*, *however*, that unless and until Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall promptly deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties.

Section 9.5 *Indemnification*. Without limiting the obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, ratably in accordance with its Proportionate Share for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; *provided*, *however*, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable third party and out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by Borrower.

Section 9.6 *Successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent*. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledges that its current intention is to remain Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder. Nevertheless, (a) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, and (b) Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower, such resignation to be effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Financing Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Required Lenders (excluding Administrative Agent from such vote and Administrative Agent's Proportionate Share of the Loans and Commitment from the amounts used to determine the portion of the Loans and Commitment necessary to constitute the required Proportionate Share of the remaining Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (or in the case of the resignation or removal of Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent (as directed by the Required Lenders)) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall be provided with respect to at least one of the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or Administrative Agent (in the case of Collateral Agent), as applicable, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to such retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent only under the Financing Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this <u>Article 9</u> shall inure to the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Operative Documents.

Section 9.7 *Authorization*. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Financing Documents. Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Lenders to enter into agreements supplemental hereto with any Person for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to which it is a party (without any consent or approval by the Lenders). Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by the other Secured Parties to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which Collateral Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Secured Party agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Collateral Agent contained in the Financing Documents.

Section 9.8 *Other Rights and Power of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent*. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. The term "**Lender**" or "**Lenders**" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in their respective individual capacity. Each of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.9 *General Provision as to Payments*. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of each payment of principal and interest payable to the Lenders on the Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for the account of each Lender shall be made, and distributed to it, for the account of its domestic or foreign Lending Office, as each Lender may designate in writing to Administrative Agent. Lenders shall have the right to alter designated Lending Offices upon written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower.

Section 9.10 *Exercise of Discretion*. To the extent that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has the right to exercise discretion, make determinations or take actions pursuant to provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, such Agent hereby agrees that if, in any specific instance of exercising such discretion, making such determinations or taking such action, such Agent receives written instructions from the Required Lenders, such Agent in such instance will exercise such discretion, make such determinations and take such actions in accordance with the written instructions from the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders agree that until Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, receives written instructions from the Required Lenders, such Agent may reasonably exercise discretion, make determinations and take actions and that such Agent shall have no obligation to seek any such written instructions.

Section 9.11 *Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim*. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Administrative Agent or a Lender, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&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) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding); 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;(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Lender, after receiving the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (no such consent of Administrative Agent is required for an assignment by a Lender to any of its Affiliates or to any other Lender) and, prior to the occurrence and then continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, such consent not to unreasonably withheld or delayed (no such consent of Borrower is required for an assignment by a Lender to any of its Affiliates or to any other Lender), may from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of its Commitment (and Loans made thereunder) (including the Lender's interest in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents) to any bank or other financial institution or other entity that in such assigning Lender's reasonable judgment is reasonably capable of performing the obligations of a Lender hereunder; *provided*, *however*, that no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Commitment (including Loans) of less than one million Dollars ($1,000,000) (unless to any of its Affiliates or another Lender) or which leaves the assigning Lender with a Commitment (including Loans) of less than one million Dollars ($1,000,000) after giving effect to such assignment and all previous assignments (except that a Lender may be left with no Commitment and Loans if it assigns its entire Commitment and Loans (and has not assigned any of its Commitment (including Loans) to an Affiliate in contemplation of such assignment)); provided, further, that any assignment of Commitments and Loans by any Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) shall in all cases be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the Loans (and, if any, unused Commitments); and provided that the assignee or transferee shall not be a Restricted Person and such sale, assignment, transfer, or disposal shall not cause a violation of applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as Lender, Agent, underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise). In the event of any such assignment, (a) the assigning Lender's Proportionate Share shall be reduced by the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new Lender; (b) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition and shall, unless waived by Administrative Agent, cause to be paid to Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) (provided, that, such processing fee shall not apply with respect to such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition to a Lender's Affiliate or to any other Lender); and (c) at the assigning Lender's option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new Lender new Notes in the forms attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>, in a principal amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the Commitment and Loans being assigned, and Borrower shall execute and exchange with the assigning Lender a replacement note for any Note in a principal amount equal to the Proportionate Share of the Commitment and Loans retained by the Lender, if any. No assignment of Commitments or Loans by any Lender shall be effective unless and until it is recorded in the Register.

Section 10.18 *Laws*. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section <u>10.17</u> or this Agreement otherwise, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Lender hereunder or under the other Financing Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further instruments and take such further actions as may in the opinion of Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to such disposition.

Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Lender from selling a participation in its Commitment (and Loans made thereunder); *provided*, that (i) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Lender's obligations hereunder, (ii) any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations) shall provide that, with respect to such Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations), such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise the rights of such Lender, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations), including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document and the right to take action to have the Notes declared due and payable pursuant to Article <u>7</u> and (iii) no such participation shall be to a Restricted Person or cause a violation of applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Ex-Im Laws or Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as Lender, Agent, underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise). No recipient of a participation in any Commitment or Loans of any Lender shall have any rights under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, 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 this Agreement (the "**Participant Register**"); provided, 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 Loans under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version).
