(“SPAC”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the BCA (as defined below).

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

1. Voting Obligations. Until the earlier of (a) the Closing or (b) termination of the BCA in accordance with Article IX
thereof, Sponsor agrees that, at the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting and in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of SPAC, Sponsor shall vote (or duly and promptly execute and deliver an action by written consent), or cause to be
voted at such meeting (or cause such consent to be duly and promptly executed and delivered with respect to), all of the Sponsor SPAC Shares (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the BCA, the Transactions and any other proposal submitted
for approval by the stockholders of SPAC in connection with the Transactions, including the Extension Proposal (if applicable), and (ii) against any action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant,
representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the BCA or that would reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the Transactions, increase the likelihood of the failure of the consummation of the Transactions
or result in the failure of the Transactions from being consummated. This Section 1 shall be void and of no force and effect if the BCA shall be terminated in accordance with its terms or the Closing shall not occur for any
reason. 
 2. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Sponsor agrees not to (a) demand that SPAC redeem the Sponsor SPAC Shares in
connection with the Transactions or (b) otherwise participate in any such redemption by tendering or submitting any of the Sponsor SPAC Shares for redemption. This Section 2 shall be void and of no force and effect if

 3. Waiver of Anti-Dilution Rights. Sponsor hereby waives the provisions of
Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the SPAC Certificate of Incorporation relating to the adjustment of the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the SPAC Certificate of Incorporation) in connection with the Transactions. This
Section 3 shall be void and of no force and effect if the BCA shall be terminated in accordance with its terms or the Closing shall not occur for any reason. 

4. Working Capital Loans. As contemplated by the SPAC Warrant Agreement and the prospectus filed in connection with SPAC’s
initial public offering, Sponsor may (but shall not be required to) make working capital loans to SPAC in the aggregate amount of up to $2,500,000, which shall be convertible, at the option of Sponsor, into SPAC Warrants at a price of $1.00 per SPAC
Warrant. 
 5. Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants to the Company and SPAC as follows: 

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Sponsor of this Agreement and the consummation by Sponsor of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to Sponsor, (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any person, (iii) result in the
creation of any encumbrance on any SPAC Common Stock (other than under this Agreement, the BCA and the agreements contemplated by the BCA) or (iv) if applicable, conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision
of Sponsor’s certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, “person” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the BCA.

 (b) As of the date of this Agreement, Sponsor (i) owns exclusively of record and has good and valid title 2,611,838 shares of SPAC
Class B Common Stock free and clear of any security interest, lien, claim, pledge, proxy, option, right of first refusal, agreement, voting restriction, limitation on disposition, charge, adverse claim of ownership or use or other encumbrance
of any kind, other than pursuant to (A) this Agreement, (B) applicable securities Laws, and (C) the SPAC Organizational Documents, and (ii) has the sole power (as currently in effect) to vote and right, power and authority to
sell, transfer and deliver such shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock, and Sponsor does not own, directly or indirectly, any other SPAC Common Stock.

written agreement of the parties hereto. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not
relieve any party from liability for fraud or willful material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to its termination.

(d) This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any
agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto. 
 (e) This Agreement (together with the BCA, to the

expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a
bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. 
 (h) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws
of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All Actions arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such legal Action may be
brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid

or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and
(C) that (x) the Action in any such 

  
 4 

 
court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Action is improper, or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. 

(i) This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(j) Without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and
instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(k) This Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon any party hereto until after such time as the BCA is executed and delivered by SPAC,
Holdco, the Merger Subs and the Company. 
 (l) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies that no
representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties
hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 7(l).

Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or an increment of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. 
2.1.5.    Overadvances.  If Revolver Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent may require Lenders to fund Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, as long as the total Overadvance is not known by Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base and does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days without the consent of Required Lenders.  In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Commitments.  Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby.  In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. 
2.1.6.    Protective Advances.  Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount equal to 10.0% of the aggregate amount of Commitment outstanding at any time, if Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Commitments; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses.  Lenders shall participate on a Pro Rata basis in Protective Advances outstanding from time to time.  Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Administrative Agent.  Absent such revocation, Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.
2.1.7.    Increase in Commitments.  Borrowers may request an increase in Commitments from time to time upon notice to Administrative Agent by, at its election, adding to this Agreement one or more Eligible Assignees that are not already Lenders hereunder to issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder that are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and is offered on the same terms as existing Commitments, except for a closing fee specified by Borrowers, (b) increases under this Section do not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than three (3) increases are made, (c) no reduction in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has occurred prior to the requested increase and (d) the requested increase does not cause the Commitments to exceed 95% of any applicable cap under the Secured Notes Indenture.  The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may allocate, in their discretion, the increased Commitments among committing Lenders and any Eligible Assignees.  Provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied, total Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days following Borrowers’ increase request.  Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and new and existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Commitments.  On the effective date of an increase, the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Administrative Agent if necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Commitments.
2.2.    Letter of Credit Facility.
2.2.1.    Issuance of Letters of Credit.  From and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be a Letter of Credit 
-45-

used for the account of the Borrowers on the Closing Date. The Issuing Banks shall also issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 15 days prior to the Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:
(a)    Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount.  Each LC Request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by a Senior Officer and delivered to Issuing Bank via facsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank.  Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender.  If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank receives written notice from Administrative Agent or Required Lenders that an LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing.  Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.
(b)    Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower for its own account or the account of any other Obligor (other than PHR or a Future Intermediation Subsidiary, except with respect to insurance policies carried by all Obligors) to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. Increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Issuing Bank may require a new LC Application in its discretion.  
(c)    Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary.  In connection with any Letter of Credit, none of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any 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 Document; 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, facsimile, 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 any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority.  The rights and remedies of any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative.  Each Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.
(d)    In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, each 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 Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.  Each 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.  Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.
(e)    Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers.  Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes.  With 
-46-

respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrowers will so notify Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.
2.2.2.    Reimbursement; Participations.
(a)    If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers.  The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including: (i) any lack of validity, enforceability, or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document which proves to be fraudulent, forged, or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; (iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; (iv)  Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person; (vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.2.2(a), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or (vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.
(b)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally purchases from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all LC Obligations outstanding from time to time.  Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon this participation.  If Borrowers do not make a payment to Issuing Bank when due hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall within one Business Day after such notice pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment.  Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall provide copies of Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.
(c)    The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, noncompliant, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; any waiver by Issuing Bank of a requirement that exists for its protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially prejudice a Borrower; any honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a draft is required; any payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s expiration date if authorized by the UCC or applicable customs or practices; or any setoff or defense that an Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations.  No Issuing Bank assumes 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.  No Issuing Bank makes to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to any Letter of Credit, Collateral, LC Document or Obligor.  No Issuing Bank shall be 
-47-

responsible to any 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 Obligor.
(d)    No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each Issuing Bank may (but is not obligated to) refrain from taking any action with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions (and in its discretion, appropriate assurances) from the Lenders.
2.2.3.    Cash Collateral.  Subject to Section 2.1.5, if at any time (a) an Event of Default exists, (b) the Commitment Termination Date has occurred, or (c) the Termination Date is scheduled to occur within 5 Business Days, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of each outstanding Letters of Credit and all other LC Obligations.  Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request at any time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender.  If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Administrative Agent) advance, as Loans, the amount of Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).
2.2.4.    Resignation of Issuing Bank.  Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers.  From the effective date of such resignation, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date.  Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers.
2.2.5.    Indemnification. 
  In addition to (and not in any way in limitation of) any other terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or LC Document providing for the indemnification of any Issuing Bank or otherwise, each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Issuing Bank Indemnitee (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Issuing Bank Indemnitee (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.8) (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any LC Document, or any Drawing Document referred to in or related to any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration); in each case, including that resulting from such Issuing Bank Indemnitee’s own negligence, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any other Obligor; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Issuing Bank Indemnitee claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank Indemnitee claiming indemnity.  This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.
2.2.6.    Limitation of Liability. 
  The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Indemnitee) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that 
-48-

on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit.  Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.    INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1.    Interest.
3.1.1.    Rates and Payment of Interest.
(a)    The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a Term SOFR Loan, at Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation not paid when due (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(b)    During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, or during any other Event of Default if Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment).  Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.
(c)    Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is not paid when due, until paid in full by Borrowers, and shall in no event be less than zero at any time.  Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each quarter with respect to a Base Rate Loan, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to a Term SOFR Loan (except in the case of a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than 90 days’ duration, each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of 90 days’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period); (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date.  Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.
3.1.2.    Application of SOFR to Outstanding Loans.
(a)    Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any Term SOFR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a Term SOFR Loan.  During any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a Term SOFR Loan.  
(b)    Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as Term SOFR Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date.  Promptly after receiving any such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).  If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternate, replacement or successor to such rate (including any Successor Rate), or any component thereof, or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.  Administrative Agent may select information source(s) in its discretion to 
-49-

ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Successor Rate), or any component thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms hereof, and shall have no liability to any Lender, Obligor or other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and whether at law or in equity) for any error or other act or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by such information source(s).
3.1.3.    Interest Periods.  In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any Term SOFR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) of one, three or six months (in each case, subject to availability) to apply to each Term SOFR Loan; provided, that (a) the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a Term SOFR Loan, and shall expire one, three or six months thereafter, as applicable; (b) if any Interest Period begins on the last day of a calendar month or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end, or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of the end month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the end month’s last Business Day; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and (c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date.
3.2.    Fees.
3.2.1.    Unused Line Fee.  Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Commitments exceed the average daily Revolver Usage during any quarter.  Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter and on the Commitment Termination Date.
3.2.2.    LC Facility Fees.  Borrowers shall pay (a) to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans times the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter; (b) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter; and (c) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.  During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum to the extent the Default Rate is applied pursuant to Section 3.1.1(b) hereof.
3.2.3.    Engagement and Fee Letters.  Borrowers shall pay all fees set forth in the Engagement Letter and any fee letters executed in connection with this Agreement.
3.3.    Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be computed for actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.  All other interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days.  Each determination by Administrative Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration.  All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.  A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.8, submitted to Borrower Agent by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.
3.4.    Reimbursement Obligations.  Borrowers shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request.  Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions 
-50-

contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Administrative Agent’s personnel or a third party; provided that reasonable and documented legal fees shall be limited to one firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and an additional local law firm in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest as determined by the affected party, one additional firm of counsel to such affected party and one additional firm of local counsel to such affected party in each applicable jurisdiction.  All reasonable and documented legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Administrative Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any alternative fee arrangements that Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals that otherwise might apply to this or any other transaction.  Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide Administrative Agent with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based on counsel’s overall relationship with Administrative Agent, including fees paid hereunder.  If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting in any Borrower Materials), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid.  All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.
3.5.    Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain, issue, fund or commit to, participate in, or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit, or to determine or charge interest or fees based on SOFR or Term SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to perform such obligations, to make, maintain, issue, fund, commit to or participate in the Loan or Letter of Credit (or to charge interest or fees otherwise applicable thereto), or to continue or convert Loans as Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended and Borrowers shall make such appropriate accommodations regarding affected Letters of Credit as such Lender may reasonably request, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender to make or maintain Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to Term SOFR, the interest rate applicable to such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall, as necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to Lender’s determination no longer exist.  Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay or convert Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Loan and charge applicable interest to such day, or immediately, if such Lender cannot so maintain the Loan.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion of a Loan pursuant to this Section, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.9. 
3.6.    Inability to Determine Rates.  
(a)    If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.6(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.6(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Loan, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or 
-51-

Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (y) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.
(b)    Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Agent) that the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)     CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, CME or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).  If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.6(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.6 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”.  Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.  Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate 
-52-

shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  
3.7.    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
3.7.1.    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(a)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in calculating SOFR) or any Issuing Bank;
(b)    subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(c)    impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting any Loan, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, Commitment or Loan Document;
and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender or an Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, Borrowers will pay to it such additional amount(s) as will compensate it for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
3.7.2.    Capital Requirements.  If a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that a Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations or Loans, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered.
3.7.3.    [Reserved].  
3.7.4.    Compensation.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the applicable Change in Law and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor.
3.8.    Mitigation.  If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then at the request of Borrower Agent, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or 
-53-

unlawful.  Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
3.9.    Funding Losses.  If for any reason (a) any Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a Term SOFR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) Borrowers fail to repay a Term SOFR Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 14.4, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses, expenses and fees arising from redeployment of funds or termination of match funding.  
3.10.    Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”).  If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 4.    LOAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1.    Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.
4.1.1.    Notice of Borrowing.
(a)    Whenever Borrowers desire funding of Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing.  Such notice must be received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Term SOFR Loans.  Notices received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a Base Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, and (D) in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).
(b)    Unless payment is otherwise made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligation (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan on the due date in the amount due and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed as direct payment of such Obligation.  In addition, Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge such amount against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
(c)    If a Borrower maintains a disbursement account with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, then presentation for payment in the account of a Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan on the presentation date, in the amount of the Payment Item.  Proceeds of the Loan may be disbursed directly to the account.
4.1.2.    Fundings by Lenders.  Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 1:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date for a Base Rate Loan or by 3:00 p.m. at least two Business Days before a proposed funding of a Term SOFR Loan.  Each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Administrative Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case Lender shall fund by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.  Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall disburse the 
-54-

Borrowing proceeds as directed by Borrower Agent to the extent permitted by this Agreement.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its share of a Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers.  If a Lender’s share of a Borrowing or of a settlement under Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Administrative Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing.  A Lender or an Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.
4.1.3.    Swingline Loans; Settlement.
(a)    To fulfill any request for a Base Rate Loan hereunder, Bank of America may in its discretion advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $15,000,000.  Swingline Loans shall constitute Loans for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Bank of America for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below.
(b)    Settlement of Loans, including Swingline Loans, among Lenders, Bank of America and Administrative Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (but at least weekly, unless the settlement amount is de minimis), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders.  Between settlement dates, Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary.  Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled.  If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Lenders, whether due to an Obligor’s Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Administrative Agent’s request therefor.  Lenders’ obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.
4.1.4.    Notices.  Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Administrative Agent.  Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the records of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall govern.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.
4.1.5.    Conforming Changes.  Administrative Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time with respect to SOFR, Term SOFR or any Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, any amendment implementing such changes shall be effective without further action or consent of any party to any Loan Document.  Administrative Agent shall post or provide each such amendment to Lenders and Borrower Agent reasonably promptly after it becomes effective.
4.2.    Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
4.2.1.    Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments.  For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC Obligations), Administrative Agent may in its discretion reallocate Pro Rata shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans from the calculation of shares.  A Defaulting Lender shall have 
-55-

no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 15.1.1(c).  
4.2.2.    Payments; Fees.  To the extent the Borrowers or any other Obligors are required to pay any amounts to a Defaulting Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Administrative Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full.  Administrative Agent may use such amounts to cover the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to readvance the amounts to Borrowers or to repay Obligations.  A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender and its unfunded Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay such unused line fee to such Defaulting Lender (or Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender).  If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such Lenders.  Administrative Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.
4.2.3.    Status; Cure.   Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error.  Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any breakage costs for reallocated Term SOFR Loans) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares.  Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reallocation or Commitments and Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders or reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender.  The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document.  No Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.
4.3.    Number and Amount of Term SOFR Loans; Determination of Rate.  Each Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus an increment of $500,000 in excess thereof.  No more than three (3) Borrowings of Term SOFR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all Term SOFR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose.  Upon determining SOFR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.
4.4.    Borrower Agent.  Each Borrower hereby designates the Company (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for and receipt of Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrower Materials, 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 Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender.  Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment.  Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower.  Each of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, delivery, representation, agreement, action, omission or undertaking on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.
4.5.    One Obligation.  The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; 
-56-

provided, however, that Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.
4.6.    Effect of Termination.  On the effective date of the termination of all Commitments, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and each Secured Bank Product Provider may terminate its Bank Products to the extent permitted by the agreements covering such Bank Products.  Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each case satisfactory to it, protecting Administrative Agent and Lenders from dishonor or return of any Payment Item previously applied to the Obligations.  Sections 2.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.4, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 13, 15.2, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 5.    PAYMENTS
5.1.    General Payment Provisions.  All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date.  Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day.  Any payment of a Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9.  Borrowers agree that after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent deems advisable, but whenever possible, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Term SOFR Loans.
5.2.    Repayment of Loans.  Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder.  Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium.  Subject to Section 2.1.5, if an Overadvance exists at any time, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Administrative Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce Revolver Usage to the Borrowing Base.  If any Asset Disposition includes the disposition of Accounts, Inventory, In-Transit Crude Oil, In-Transit Products or Exchange Agreements (to the extent not constituting Intermediation Collateral or Asset Dispositions of Inventory, In-Transit Crude Oil, In-Transit Products or Exchange Agreements in the Ordinary Course of Business), Borrowers shall apply Net Proceeds to repay Loans equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts, Inventory, In-Transit Crude Oil, In-Transit Products or Exchange Agreements or (b) the reduction in Borrowing Base resulting from such Asset Disposition.
5.3.    Payment of Other Obligations.  Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.
5.4.    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  None of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations.  If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or if Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.
5.5.    Application and Allocation of Payments.
5.5.1.    Application.  Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required hereby; (b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (c) third, to other Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (d) fourth, as determined by Administrative Agent in its discretion.
-57-

5.5.2.    Post-Default Allocation.  Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:
(a)    first, to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Administrative Agent;
(b)    second, to all amounts owing to Bank of America and Administrative Agent on Swingline Loans, Protective Advances, and Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund;
(c)    third, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank, ratably among each Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to it;
(d)    fourth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees, indemnification, costs or expenses owing to Lenders;
(e)    fifth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest;
(f)    sixth, to Cash Collateralize all LC Obligations;
(g)    seventh, to all Loans, and to Secured Bank Product Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements (including Cash Collateralization thereof) that are pari passu with the Loans and up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve existing therefor;
(h)    eighth, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations; and
(i)    last, to all remaining Obligations.
Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories.  If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category.  Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category.  Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from a Secured Bank Product Provider.  If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within five days following request, Administrative Agent may assume the amount is zero.  The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor.  This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower and other Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section.
5.5.3.    Erroneous Application.  Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Secured Party or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by a Secured Party, the Secured Party agrees to return it).
5.6.    Dominion Account.  The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day, during any Sweep Trigger Period and during any Cash Dominion Period.  If a credit balance results from such application, it shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists. 
5.7.    Account Stated.  Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder.  Any failure of Administrative Agent to 
-58-

record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder.  Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein.  If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.
5.8.    Taxes.
5.8.1.    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.
(a)    All payments of Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If Applicable Law (as determined by Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or an Obligor, then Administrative Agent or such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, taking into account information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.9.
(b)    If Administrative Agent or any Obligor is required by any Applicable Law to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) Administrative Agent or such Obligor, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall apply such withholding or deduction and timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.  
5.8.2.    Payment of Other Taxes.   Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at Administrative Agent’s option, timely reimburse Administrative Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.  
5.8.3.    Tax Indemnification.
(a)    Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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.  Each Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  
(b)    Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after payment of Taxes by any Obligor pursuant to this Section, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of a receipt issued 
-59-

by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
5.8.4.    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, nor have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or an Issuing Bank.  If a Recipient determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers agree, upon request by the Recipient, to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrowers if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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.  In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.
5.8.5.    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under Sections 5.8 and 5.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.
5.9.    Lender Tax Information.
5.9.1.    Status of Lenders.  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documentation (other than documentation described in Sections 5.9.2(a), (b) and (d)) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.
5.9.2.    Documentation.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(a)    Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(b)    Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
-60-

    (i)    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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 other payments under the Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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;
    (ii)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
    (iii)    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 in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent 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 a 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 (“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
    (iv)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, 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 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(c)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(d)    if payment of an Obligation to a Lender 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), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its 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 hereof.
5.9.3.    Redelivery of Documentation.  If any form or certification previously delivered by a Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable shall promptly update the form or certification or notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.
5.10.    Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
5.10.1.    Joint and Several Liability.  Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations, except its Excluded Swap Obligations.  Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of 
-61-

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for any Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Administrative Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.10.2.    Waivers.
(a)    Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower.  Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower.  It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit.  Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.
(b)    Administrative Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10.  If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had.  Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations.  Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person.  Administrative Agent may bid Obligations, in whole or part, at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations.  The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
5.10.3.    Extent of Liability; Contribution.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall not exceed the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described in clause (c) below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.
-62-

(b)    If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, ratably based on their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.  The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.
(c)    Section 5.10.3(a) shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.  Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based on that calculation.
(d)    Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.10 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act).  The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.  Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
5.10.4.    Joint Enterprise.  Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically.  Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group.  Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage.  Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.
5.10.5.    Subordination.  Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 6.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

SECTION 7.    COLLATERAL  
7.1.    Grant of Security Interest.  To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the following Property of such Obligor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located:
-65-

(a)    all Accounts and CC Receivables (excluding Accounts and CC Receivables constituting identifiable proceeds of Notes/Term Collateral);
(b)    all Inventory;
(c)    all Investment Property, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles (excluding Intellectual Property), Documents, Commercial Tort Claims and Instruments, to the extent relating to the items in clauses (a) and (b);
(d)    all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts (excluding the Notes Proceeds Collateral Account), cash and Cash Equivalents;
(e)    all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs and computer records) pertaining to the foregoing; and
(f)    all proceeds of (including proceeds of business interruption and other insurance), and Supporting Obligations (including Letter-of-Credit Rights) with respect to, any of the foregoing. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest or Lien attach to, or the term “Collateral” be deemed to include, any Excluded Property.  For the avoidance of doubt, the entirety of this Section 7 does not apply to PHR or any Future Intermediation Subsidiary.
7.2.    Lien on Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts; Cash Collateral.
7.2.1.    Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts.  To further secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Administrative Agent a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account and Securities Account of such Obligor, including sums in any blocked, lockbox, sweep or collection account, in each case, except for the Notes Proceeds Collateral Account.  Each Obligor hereby authorizes and directs each bank or other depository or securities intermediary to deliver to Administrative Agent, upon request of Administrative Agent, all balances in any Deposit Account and Securities Account maintained for such Obligor, without inquiry into the authority or right of Administrative Agent to make such request.  Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will not issue any such request unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
7.2.2.    Cash Collateral.  Cash Collateral may be invested, at Administrative Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of Borrower Agent, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Administrative Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Obligor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss.  As security for the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in and Lien upon all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise.  After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of such Obligations as they become due, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect.  Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent, and no Obligor or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.
7.3.    Other Collateral.
7.3.1.    Certain After-Acquired Collateral.  Obligors shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of (a) Deposit Accounts (other than an Excluded Account), (b) Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts), (c) Intellectual Property that is material to such Obligor’s business or (d) Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments or Investment Property, in each case with an individual value of or face amount in excess of $1,000,000, and, upon Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to effect Administrative Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver.  If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Administrative Agent’s request, Obligors shall use commercially reasonable 
-66-

efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Administrative Agent.
7.4.    Limitations.  The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Obligors relating to any Collateral.  In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Obligor.
7.5.    Further Assurances.  All Liens granted to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties.  Promptly upon request, Obligors shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as Administrative Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.  Each Obligor authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statement that describes the Collateral of such Obligor and ratifies any action taken by Administrative Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.  
7.6.    Certain Limited Exclusions.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Collateral shall not include, and no Obligor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of such Obligor’s right, title or interest in the following (collectively, the “Excluded Property”):
    (i) any Real Estate;

    (ii) any Equipment, Vehicles and rolling stock, and any accessories thereto;

    (iii) any lease, license, permit or agreement (referred to solely for purpose of this sub-clause (iii) as a “Contract”), in each case in existence on the date hereof or upon acquisition of the relevant Obligor party thereto, to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license, permit or agreement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto or otherwise require consent thereunder (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other Applicable Law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity and only so long as such prohibition or consent requirement was not created in contemplation or anticipation of the Collateral requirements under this Agreement); provided that: (A) rights to payment under any such Contract otherwise constituting Excluded Property shall be included in the Collateral to the extent permitted under such Contract or by Section 9-406 or Section 9-408 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (B) all proceeds paid or payable to the Company or any other Obligor from any sale, transfer or assignment of such Contract and all rights to receive such proceeds shall be included in the Collateral;

(iv) Equity Interests;
(v) other Property to the extent the Administrative Agent determines that the cost of obtaining or perfecting a lien or security interest therein is excessive in relation to the benefit afforded to the Lenders thereby;

(vi) (1) Property subject to a purchase money security agreement or capital lease agreement evidencing or governing purchase money and capital lease obligations that are permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Loan Documents to the extent the granting of a security interest therein is validly prohibited thereby or otherwise requires consent (but only so long as such prohibition or consent requirement was not created in contemplation or anticipation of the Collateral requirements under the Loan Documents) and/or (2) any lease, license, permit or agreement, in each case in existence on the Closing Date or upon acquisition of the relevant Obligor party thereto, to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license, permit or agreement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto or otherwise require consent thereunder (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other Applicable Law, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other Applicable Law notwithstanding such prohibition), but only so long as such restriction or consent requirement was not created in contemplation or anticipation of the Collateral requirements under the Loan Documents;
(vii) pledges and security interests prohibited or restricted by Applicable Law (including any requirement to obtain the consent of any Governmental Authority, unless such consent has been obtained 
-67-

(it being understood that there shall be no obligation to obtain such consent)) (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other Applicable Law notwithstanding such prohibition);
(viii) deposit accounts solely for the purpose of payroll and withholding tax and other fiduciary deposit accounts; 
(ix) any assets (including Equity Interests) owned by a Foreign Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(x) any intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law; 
(xi) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations to the extent the granting of security interests therein are prohibited or restricted thereby;
(xii) any Intermediation Collateral;
(xiii) Letter-of-Credit Rights to the extent not perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement; and
(xiv) Renewable Identification Numbers and other environmental credits, and any products or proceeds thereof.
(b) Obligors shall not be required to take any action under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create or perfect a security interest in such assets, including any intellectual property registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction (and no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required). 
7.7.    Collateral Rights Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interests granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Rights Agreement and any Intermediation Access Agreement.

SECTION 8.    COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION
8.1.    Borrowing Base Reports.  Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Report (i) as of the close of business of the previous month by the 20th day of each month, (ii) during any Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, as of the close of business of the previous week by Wednesday of each week and (iii) at such other times as Administrative Agent may request after a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  All information (including calculation of Availability) in a Borrowing Base Report shall be certified by Borrower Agent.  Administrative Agent may from time to time adjust any such report (a) to reflect Administrative Agent’s reasonable estimate of declines in value of Collateral, due to collections received in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent any information or calculation does not comply with this Agreement.
8.2.    Accounts.
8.2.1.    Records and Schedules of Accounts.  Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Administrative Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on such periodic basis as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative Agent, on or before the 20th day of each month and, during any Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, by Wednesday of each week, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month and, during any 
-68-

Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, as of the end of the preceding week, specifying each Account’s Account Debtor name and address, amount, invoice date and due date, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and invoice registers, copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that Administrative Agent and the Lenders understand that information delivered during a Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period may be preliminary and subject to customary month-end adjustments.  If any Account in an aggregate face amount of $1,000,000 or more ceases to be an Eligible Accounts Receivable, Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.
8.2.2.    Taxes.  If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Administrative Agent is authorized, during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.
8.2.3.    Account Verification.  Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Administrative Agent, any designee of Administrative Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise.  Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
8.2.4.    Maintenance of Dominion Account.  Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Administrative Agent.  Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Administrative Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, which may be exercised by Administrative Agent during any Sweep Trigger Period, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges.  If a Dominion Account is not maintained with Bank of America, Administrative Agent may, during any Sweep Trigger Period, require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America.  Administrative Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.
8.2.5.    Proceeds of Collateral.  Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to the Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account).  If any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for Administrative Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion Account.
8.3.    Proceeds of Notes/Term Collateral.  Identifiable proceeds of Asset Dispositions of Notes/Term Collateral, and identifiable proceeds of insurance resulting from casualty of the Notes/Term Collateral and of awards arising from condemnation of the Notes/Term Collateral to the extent deposited in the Notes Proceeds Collateral Account, (i) may not be commingled with any other funds and (ii) shall at all times remain segregated funds, separate and apart from any other funds of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

8.5.    Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts.  (a) Schedule 8.5 sets forth all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained by Borrowers and other Obligors, including all Dominion Accounts as of the Closing Date.  Each Borrower and other Obligors shall take all actions necessary to establish Administrative Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account (i) that is a collections account and (ii) as required by Section 8.5(b) and each such Securities Account and each new Deposit Account and Securities Account opened after the Closing Date (other than (A) accounts exclusively used for payroll, withholding tax and other fiduciary deposit accounts and (B) accounts containing not more than $25,000 individually and $500,000 in the aggregate for all such accounts at any time (each an “Excluded Account” and collectively for all such accounts in clauses (A) and (B) above, the “Excluded Accounts”)).  Each Borrower and each other Obligor shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and Securities Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Administrative Agent,) to have control over a Deposit Account or a Securities Account (other than the Notes Proceeds Collateral Account) or any Property deposited therein.  Each Borrower and each other Obligor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account or a Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) and, with the consent of Administrative Agent, will amend Schedule 8.5 to reflect same.  Each Borrower shall (i) request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors forward payment directly to lockboxes and Dominion Accounts maintained pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.2.4, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral (whether or not otherwise delivered to a lockbox) into one or more Dominion Accounts.  All Net Proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be deposited directly into the applicable Dominion Accounts.
(b)    Until Full Payment of the Obligations, each Borrower and the other Obligors shall cause all funds or other property of such Borrower or Obligor maintained in any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts to be solely maintained in Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts held with Bank of America, N.A. or any of its Affiliates, except for (i) Excluded Accounts and (ii) other operating and Deposit Accounts maintained with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and financial institutions located in Hawaii with whom the Obligors currently have accounts, with an aggregate average monthly balance for all such accounts not to exceed $15,000,000; provided that the Administrative Agent may increase such $15,000,000 threshold or approve additional financial institutions located in Hawaii in its sole discretion.  At all times starting on the Closing Date, all operating and Deposit Accounts described in sub-clause (ii) above shall be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement.
8.6.    General Provisions.
8.6.1.    Location of Collateral.  All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by the Borrowers at locations owned or leased by an Obligor, at customer locations or at manufacturer locations or other locations for the purposes of repair or servicing of such Collateral, except that the Borrowers may make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.8.
8.6.2.    Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds
  (a)    Each Obligor shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral in accordance with Section 10.1.8.  From time to time upon request, the Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with reasonably detailed information as to the insurance so carried; provided, that if Real Estate secures any Obligations at any time, flood hazard diligence, documentation and insurance shall comply with all applicable Flood Laws or otherwise shall be reasonably satisfactory to all Lenders.  Unless Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Administrative Agent as lender loss payee in respect of the property insurance policies relating to the Collateral and additional insured in respect of the liability insurance policies, as applicable; (ii) requiring 30 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Administrative Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Obligor or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy.  If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Administrative Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor.  While no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim with respect to Collateral, as long as the 
-70-

proceeds are used to repay the Loans.  If an Event of Default exists only Administrative Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.
(b)    Any proceeds of insurance with respect to any Collateral (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Administrative Agent.  
8.6.3.    Protection of Collateral.  All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Administrative Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Obligors.  Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Administrative Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.
8.6.4.    Defense of Title.  Each Obligor shall defend its title to Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands, except Permitted Liens.
8.7.    Power of Attorney.  Each Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated by Administrative Agent) as such Borrower’s and such Obligor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section.  Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Borrower’s or an Obligor’s name, but at the cost and expense of the Borrowers and the other Obligors:
(a)    Endorse any Obligor’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Administrative Agent’s possession or control; and

SECTION 11.    GUARANTY
11.1.    Guaranty.  For value received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to the Borrowers and the other Obligors by the Secured Parties, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined) and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by such Guarantor in favor of one or more Secured Parties in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.  As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means any and all existing and future Obligations of any Obligor to any Secured Party, whether associated with any credit or other financial accommodation made to or for the benefit of any Obligor by any Secured Party or otherwise and whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired  (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof); provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Obligor of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.
11.2.    No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments.  Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature (other 
-94-

than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.8) now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.  If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to Taxes) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the applicable Secured Party, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Secured Party to receive the same net amount which such Secured Party would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Guarantor.  Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to such Secured Party certificates or other valid vouchers for all charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
11.3.    Rights of Secured Parties.  Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:  (a) amend (including increase), modify, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.
11.4.    Certain Waivers.  Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of any Obligor; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower or any other Obligor; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Secured Party to proceed against any Borrower or any other Obligor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; (f) any defense relating to the failure of any Secured Party to comply with the Applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) any amendment or waiver of the term of any Guaranteed Obligation; (h) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation; (i) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty and (j) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any Collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, 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 foregoing.
11.5.    Obligations Independent.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrowers or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
11.6.    Subrogation.  No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty.  If any amounts are paid to 
-95-

any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
11.7.    Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Secured Party is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
11.8.    Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Obligor owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Obligor to such Guarantor as subrogee of any Secured Party or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations.  If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof, as well as any other amounts received by such Guarantor in violation of this Section, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.
11.9.    Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Obligor under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by any Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent.
11.10.    Expenses.  Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of any Secured Party’s rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
11.11.    Miscellaneous.  Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.  No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.  The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties or any term or provision thereof.
11.12.    Condition of Obligors.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and the other Obligors and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Obligors and any such other guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that the Secured Parties have no duty, and each Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Obligors or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
-96-

11.13.    Additional Guarantors.  Each Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section 10.1.13 shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Guaranty upon execution and delivery by such Person of a supplement in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Any action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent 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.

and deliver, as Administrative Agent, each Loan Document, including any Intermediation Access Agreement, the Collateral Rights Agreement and any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (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 or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.  The Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine eligibility and applicable advance rates under the Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or 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 Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment.  In addition to the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and discretion, to enter into, or amend, the Collateral Rights Agreement (or similar agreements with the same or similar purpose) or any Intermediation Access Agreement.  Any such Collateral Rights Agreement or any Intermediation Access Agreement entered into by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be binding upon each Secured Party.  Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 14.3) and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Rights Agreement or any Intermediation Access Agreement on behalf of such Secured Party and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Collateral Rights Agreement or any Intermediation Access Agreement.  Administrative Agent shall notify the Secured Parties of the effectiveness of the Collateral Rights Agreement or any Intermediation Access Agreement when executed and shall provide a copy of the executed Collateral Rights Agreement or any Intermediation Access Agreement to the Secured Parties as and when effective.
13.1.2.    Duties.  The title of “Administrative Agent” is used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of the Administrative Agent are administrative in nature only.  The Administrative Agent has no duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does the Administrative Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or relationship with any Secured Party or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction.  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 in accordance with this Agreement.
13.1.3.    Agent Professionals.  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.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
13.1.4.    Instructions of Required Lenders.  The rights and remedies conferred upon the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law.  In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, the Administrative Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before the Administrative Agent takes the action.  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 or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person 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 pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 15.1.1.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to liability.

13.2.    Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.
13.2.1.    Lien Releases; Care of Collateral.  Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrower Agent certifies in writing is an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.8 or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Administrative Agent’s Liens (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral that Borrower Agent certifies in writing as such (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate without further inquiry); (d) upon a Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a Future Intermediation Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; or (e) subject to Section 15.1, with the consent of Required Lenders.  Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder.  Administrative Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
13.2.2.    Possession of Collateral.  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.  If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.
13.2.3.    Reports.  Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit or appraisal report prepared for Administrative Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”).  Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time.  Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Administrative Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations.  Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Administrative Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.
13.3.    Reliance By Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy, e-mail, Electronic Record, Electronic Signature or other electronic means) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  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 delay in acting.
13.4.    Action Upon Default.  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 Section 6, 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 any such conditions, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing.  Each Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) or assert any rights relating to any Collateral.
13.5.    Ratable Sharing.  If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith 
-101-

purchase from Secured Parties participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.2, as applicable.  If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the full amount thereof to Administrative Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Administrative Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, no Lender shall set off against a Dominion Account without Administrative Agent’s prior consent.
13.6.    Indemnification.  EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY A BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGOR OR AFFILIATE THEREOF, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT).  In Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or an Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties.  If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each Secured Party to the extent of its Pro Rata share.
13.7.    Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents, Borrower Materials or Obligors.  No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; 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 Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor.  No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.
13.8.    Successor Administrative Agent and Co-Agents.
13.8.1.    Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers.  If Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition thereof, Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, remove such Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers and Administrative Agent.  Required Lenders may appoint a successor to replace the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, which successor shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, then Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it (which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall automatically on such date assume all rights and duties of Administrative Agent hereunder.  Upon acceptance by any successor Administrative Agent of its appointment hereunder, 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.  On the effective date of its resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections 
-102-

under the Loan Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (i) while Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as the retiring or removed Administrative Agent continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent, including the indemnification set forth in Sections 13.6 and 15.2, and all rights and protections under this Section 13.  Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.  
13.8.2.    Co-Agent.  If appropriate under Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document.  Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such agent.  Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Administrative Agent may request to effect such appointment.  If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.
13.9.    Due Diligence and Non-Reliance.  Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Secured Parties, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder.  Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors.  Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or 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 participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents.  Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.
13.10.    Remittance of Payments and Collections.
13.10.1.    Remittances Generally.  All payments by any Secured Party to 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 Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by such Secured Party not later than 3:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 1:00 p.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.  Payment by Administrative Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent.  Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.
13.10.2.    Failure to Pay.  If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans.  In no event shall Obligors be entitled to credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Administrative Agent, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on amounts held by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.
13.10.3.    Recovery of Payments.  If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Administrative Agent may recover such amount from the Secured Party.  If Administrative Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then 
-103-

Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party.  If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to Obligations held by a Secured Party are later required to be returned by Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, such Secured Party shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, its share of the amounts required to be returned.
13.11.    Individual Capacities.  As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights, obligations and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Secured Party” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender.  Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide letters of credit or Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party.  In their individual capacities, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.
13.12.    Titles.  Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated in connection with this credit facility as an “Arranger,” “Bookrunner” or “Administrative Agent” of any kind shall have no right or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party.
13.13.    Bank Product Providers.  Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by the Loan Documents, including Sections 5.5, 13, and 15.3.3.  Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.
13.14.    Collateral Agent.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all determinations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents related, directly or indirectly, to the Collateral, Borrowing Base eligibility standards or criteria, reserves or the implementation or adjustment of reserves, collateral information rights, access rights, appraisal rights, audit rights, cash management and cash dominion rights and control agreement rights (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such determinations which are assigned to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and other Loan Documents) shall, be made by the Administrative Agent.  Any of the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing contained in this Section 13.14 shall be deemed to expand the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to Borrowing Base eligibility standards or advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base or reserves.
13.15.    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Section 13 is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Administrative Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.  Except as set forth in Section 13.8 with respect to the Borrowers, this Section 13 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.
13.16.    Recovery of Erroneous Payments.  Without limitation of any other provision herein, if at any time Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Secured Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event each Secured Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Secured Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of repayment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  Each Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any defense of discharge for value (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  Administrative Agent shall inform each Secured Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Secured Party was comprised, in whole or in part, of a Rescindable Amount.
-104-

13.17.    Certain ERISA Matters.  
13.17.1.    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
13.17.2.    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in Section 13.17.1 is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in Section 13.17.1, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 14.    BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS
14.1.    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3.  Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 14.3.  Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.
14.2.    Participations.
-105-

14.2.1.    Permitted Participants; Effect.  Subject to Section 14.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents.  Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents.  Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.7 and 5.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation.
14.2.2.    Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.
14.2.3.    Participant Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the Participant’s name, address and interest in Commitments, Loans (including principal and stated interest) and LC Obligations.  Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under the Code.
14.2.4.    Benefit of Set-off.  Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it.  By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 13.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.
14.3.    Assignments.
14.3.1.    Permitted Assignments.  A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Administrative Agent for acceptance and recording.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
14.3.2.    Effect; Effective Date.  Upon delivery to Administrative Agent of a fully executed Assignment and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed or waived by Administrative Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 14.3.  From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.  Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable.  The 
-106-

transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
14.3.3.    Certain Assignees.  No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person.  Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignment is permitted under the Loan Documents.  Assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only if there is concurrent satisfaction of all outstanding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, including payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Administrative Agent) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender.  If assignment by a Defaulting Lender occurs (by operation of law or otherwise) without compliance with the foregoing sentence, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.
14.3.4.    Register.  Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each Assignment delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the Loans, principal, interest and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender.  Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  Administrative Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations.  The register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.
14.4.    Replacement of Certain Lenders.  If a Lender (a) within the last 120 days was a Non-Consenting Lender, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) within the last 120 days gave a notice under Section 3.5 or requested payment or compensation under Section 3.7 or 5.8 (and has not designated a different Lending Office pursuant to Section 3.8), then Administrative Agent or Borrower Agent may, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s), within 20 days after such notice; provided, that in the case of any assignment pursuant to clause (c) above, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter.  Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it.  Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.
SECTION 15.    MISCELLANEOUS
15.1.    Consents, Amendments and Waivers.
15.1.1.    Amendment.  No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Administrative Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that:
(a)    without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no modification shall alter any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Administrative Agent;
(b)    without the prior written consent of each applicable Issuing Bank, no modification shall alter Section 2.2 or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to Letters of Credit or any rights, duties or discretion of such Issuing Bank;

-107-

(d)    without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender), no modification shall (i) waive the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.1;  (ii) alter Section 5.5.2, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 13.5 or 15.1.1; (iii) change any provision of this Section 15.1.1(d) or the definition of “Required Lenders”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentages of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or any other Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; (iv) amend the definition of Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition) if the effect of such amendment is to increase borrowing availability; (v) increase the advance rates in the Borrowing Base or modify this Agreement in any way that would have the effect of increasing the advance rates in the Borrowing Base, in each case, beyond such advance rates in effect on the Closing Date; (vi) release all or substantially all Collateral or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty; or (vii) except in connection with a merger, disposition or similar transaction expressly permitted hereby, release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations; and
(e)    without the prior written consent of a Secured Bank Product Provider, no modification shall affect its relative payment priority under Section 5.5.2.
15.1.2.    Limitations.  The agreement of Borrowers or any other Obligors shall not be required for any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves but the parties to such shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers.  Only the consent of the parties to any agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for modification of such agreement, and no Secured Bank Product Provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement.  Any waiver or consent granted by Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.
15.1.3.    Payment for Consents.  No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.
15.2.    Indemnity.  EACH OF PHR, ANY FUTURE INTERMEDIATION SUBSIDIARY AND EACH OBLIGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE AND DOCUMENTED FEES, DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES OF COUNSEL) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ENFORCEMENT, PERFORMANCE OR ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY PHR, ANY FUTURE INTERMEDIATION SUBSIDIARY, ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON AND, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE.  In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim to the extent that it (a) is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (b) arises out of or is in connection with any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving an act or omission of any Obligor or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Arranger in their capacities as such).
15.3.    Notices and Communications.
15.3.1.    Notice Address.  Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 15.3.  Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly 
-108-

delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.1.4, 2.2, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Administrative Agent such notice is required to be sent.  Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party.  Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.
15.3.2.    Communications.  Electronic communications (including e-mail, messaging and websites) may be used only in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent and, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, only for routine communications, such as delivery of Borrower Materials, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents and matters permitted under Section 4.1.4.  Secured Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic communications.  E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.
15.3.3.    Platform.  Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent (“Platform”).  Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only upon its receipt of such notice.  Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform.  The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, other Obligors, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail, or any other electronic platform or messaging system.
15.3.4.    Public Information.  Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information may not be segregated from material non-public information on the Platform.  Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include Obligors’ material non-public information, and should not be made available to personnel who do not wish to receive such information or may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to an Obligor’s securities.
15.3.5.    Non-Conforming Communications.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower or other Obligor even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation.  Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor.
15.3.6.    Reliance on Communications.  No Secured Party shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or other electronic means).  Secured Parties may rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting on, any Communication (which may be a fax, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution, or signed by an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers provided by Obligors, Lenders and their authorized representatives.  Each Obligor hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other Communication based solely on the lack of a paper original copy thereof, and (b) waives any claim against any Indemnitee for liabilities arising from its reliance on or use of 
-109-

Electronic Signatures, including liabilities relating to an Obligor’s failure to use a security measure in connection with execution, delivery or transmission of an Electronic Signature.
15.4.    Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations.  Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, upon notice to Borrower Agent unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, pay any amount or do any act required of PHR, any Future Intermediation Subsidiary or any Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of 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.  All reasonable and documented payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Administrative Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers and other Obligors, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  Any payment made or action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
15.5.    Credit Inquiries.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning Parent, any Obligor or Subsidiary.
15.6.    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law.  If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
15.7.    Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms.  The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative.  The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided.  Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.
15.8.    Counterparts; Execution.  Any Loan Document or other Communication may be executed in counterparts (including both paper and electronic counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement shall become effective as provided in Section 6.1.  Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document or other Communication by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.  Any signature, contract formation or record-keeping through electronic means shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as manual or paper-based methods, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  The parties may use or accept manually signed paper Loan Documents and other Communications converted into electronic form (such as scanned into pdf), or electronically signed Loan Documents or other Communications converted into other formats, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may, at their option, create one or more copies of a Loan Document or other Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record ("Electronic Copy"), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Person’s business, and may destroy the original paper document.  Any Loan Document or other Communication in the form or format of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything herein, (a) Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form unless expressly agreed by it pursuant to procedures approved by it; (b) each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on any Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature; and (c) upon request by Administrative Agent, any Loan Document using an Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed, original counterpart.  
15.9.    Entire Agreement.  Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof. 
-110-

15.10.    Relationship with Lenders.  The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender.  Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.  It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes.  Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders any other Secured Party or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of Parent or any Obligor.
15.11.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any arranging or other services by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Parent, PHR, USOR, MCC, USOT, the Obligors and their Affiliates, on one hand, and Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) PHR, USOR, MCC, USOT and the Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) PHR, USOR, MCC, USOT and the Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Administrative Agent, Lenders, any Issuing Bank, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of PHR, each Future Intermediation Subsidiary and each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.  Each of PHR, each Future Intermediation Subsidiary and each Obligor hereby agrees that it will not claim that Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders, their Affiliates or any arranger has rendered advisory services of any nature or owes any agency or fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.
15.12.    Confidentiality.  Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers; (h) on a confidential basis to a provider of a Platform; or (i) with the consent of Borrower Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials.  As used herein, “Information” means information received from Parent, an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered.  A Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information.  Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.
15.13.    GOVERNING LAW.  UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO 
-111-

15.14.2.     Other Jurisdictions.   Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to bring proceedings against PHR, any Future Intermediation Subsidiary or any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

15.14.3.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto (including each Secured Party) acknowledges that any liability arising under a Loan Document of any Secured Party that is an Affected Financial Institution, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising under any Loan Documents which may be payable to it by any Secured Party that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
15.15.    Waivers by Obligors.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of PHR, each Future Intermediation Subsidiary and each Obligor waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on which PHR, a Future Intermediation Subsidiary or an Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any party hereto on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto (which Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby also

Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders hereby notify PHR, each Future Intermediation Subsidiary and the Obligors that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies PHR, each Future Intermediation Subsidiary and each Obligor, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act.

15.17.    NO ORAL AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
15.18.    Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
15.18.1.    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.As used in this Section 15.18, the following terms have the following meanings:
(a)    “BHC Act Affiliate”: of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(c)    “Default Right”:  has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(d)    “QFC”: has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
15.19.    Existing Credit Agreement.
(a)    On the Closing Date the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that (i) the incurrence by the Borrowers of “Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such Obligations are contingent as of the Closing Date) shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders party hereto waive the requirement that the Borrowers pay any breakage costs to such Lenders under Section 3.9 of the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to evidence the representations and warranties made by the Borrower prior to the Closing Date, (iv) except as expressly stated herein or amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified, the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations, and (v) the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to evidence any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Closing Date (including any failure, prior to the Closing Date, to comply with the covenants contained in the Existing Credit Agreement).

This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

(b)    The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’, the Swingline Lender’s and the Issuing Banks’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued thereunder.

(c)    On and after the Closing Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement (as it may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Credit Agreement or in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the Closing Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be references to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby (as it may be further amended, modified or restated).

(d)    This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

(e)    The Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement have agreed among themselves, if applicable, to reallocate their respective Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as contemplated by this Agreement.  On the Closing Date and after giving effect to such reallocation and adjustment of the Commitments, the Commitments of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto and each Lender shall own its Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Loans.  The reallocation and adjustment to the Loans and Commitments of each Lender as contemplated by this Section 15.19 shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Acceptance attached as Exhibit J hereto as if each of the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such reallocation and adjustment.  The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent hereby consent to such reallocation and adjustment of the Loans and Commitments.  The Administrative Agent hereby waives the processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 13.6(a)(ii)(C) with respect to the assignments and reallocations of the Commitments contemplated by this Section 15.19.

(f)    From and after the Closing Date, (i) each lender under the Existing Credit Agreement that has no Commitment hereunder (each such lender, an “Exiting Lender”) shall cease to be a party to this Agreement, (ii) no Exiting Lender shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement with respect to the period from and after the Closing Date and, without limiting the foregoing, no Exiting Lender shall have any Commitment under this Agreement or any L/C Obligations outstanding hereunder and (iii) no Exiting Lender shall have any rights under the Existing Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than rights under the Existing Credit Agreement expressly stated to survive the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement and the repayment of amounts outstanding thereunder).
