 (b) Except to the extent set forth in Schedule 4.18 hereto, Technisource Hardware owns or has the right to use all Intellectual Property used or necessary for the ordinary course of the Hardware Business as

knows of no violation of such obligations of confidentiality as are owed to the Seller. The Seller has not made any such information available to any person other than employees of the Seller except pursuant to written agreements requiring the
recipients to maintain the confidentiality of such information and appropriately restricting the use thereof. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no employee, agent or consultant of the Seller is subject to confidentiality restrictions in
favor of any third Person the breach of which could subject the Seller to any material liability or which could adversely affect the Seller’s access to Intellectual Property previously used by it. No claims have been asserted to Seller, and to
the Seller’s knowledge no claims are pending, by any Person regarding the manufacture, use or sale of any such Intellectual Property, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any license or agreement relating to
Intellectual Property, and to the Seller’s knowledge there is no basis for such claim. The present and contemplated use by the Seller of the Intellectual Property listed in any part of Schedule 4.18 does not, to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, conflict with or infringe on the rights of any person and the Seller has not received any claim or written notice from any Person to such effect. To the knowledge of the Seller, no third party is infringing, violating or
otherwise using, in an unauthorized manner, any Intellectual Property of the Seller. 
  
 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18 the Seller’s ability to use any of the Intellectual Property set forth on any of the

threatened to cancel or otherwise to terminate, its relationship with the Seller or has, during the last

Hardware Business or the Acquired Assets, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise (including without limitation as guarantor or otherwise with respect to obligations of others), other than performance obligations with respect to the
Seller’s contracts that would not be required to be reflected or reserved against on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP or in the footnotes thereto.

 2.3 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing Bank agrees, if requested by Borrowers, to issue LCs upon Borrowers’
making or delivering an LC Request and delivering 

  

 20 

 
an LC Agreement, both of which must be received by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank no later than the third (3rd) Business Day before the Business Day
on which the requested LC is to be issued, provided that (i) no LC may expire after a date that is one (1) month before the Maturity Date, (ii) the LC Exposure may not exceed the limitations in the definition of LC Sub-facility, (iii) each LC must
expire no later than one (1) year following its issuance, (iv) the limitations in Sections 2.1(c) and (d) may not be exceeded, and (v) each LC must be in the minimum amount of $50,000. 
  
 (b) Participation. Immediately upon Issuing Bank’s issuance of any LC, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and
transferred to each other Lender, and each other Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share in the LC and all applicable Rights of Issuing Bank in the LC — other than Rights to receive certain fees provided in Section 3.20(d) to be for Issuing Bank’s sole account. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement Obligation. To induce Issuing Bank to issue and maintain
LCs, and to induce Lenders to participate in issued LCs, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse Issuing Bank (i) on the second (2nd) Business Day after Issuing Bank notifies Administrative Agent and Borrowers that Issuing Bank
has made payment under a LC, the amount paid by Issuing Bank, and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after demand, the amount of any additional fees Issuing Bank customarily charges for amending LCs Agreements, for honoring drafts under LCs, and for
taking similar action in connection with letters of credit. If Borrowers have not reimbursed Issuing Bank for any drafts paid by the date on which reimbursement is required under this Section, then Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to
fund Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations as a Base Rate Borrowing if the conditions in this Agreement for such a Borrowing (other than any notice requirements or minimum funding amounts) have, to Administrative Agent’s knowledge, been
satisfied. Borrowers shall have the right to Convert such Base Rate Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.10. The proceeds of that Borrowing shall be advanced directly to Issuing Bank to pay
Borrowers’ unpaid reimbursement obligations. If funds cannot be advanced as a result of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 5, then Borrowers’ reimbursement obligation shall constitute a demand
obligation. Borrowers’ obligations under this Section are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim, or defense to payment that any Borrower may have at any time against Issuing Bank
or any other Person. From the date that Issuing Bank pays a draft under a LC that is not repaid with a Borrowing as described above until Borrowers either reimburse or are obligated to reimburse Issuing Bank for that draft under this Section, the
amount of that draft bears interest payable to Issuing Bank at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Borrowings. from the demand date of the respective amounts due under this Section, to the date paid (including any payment from proceeds of a Base
Rate Borrowing), unpaid reimbursement amounts accrue interest that is payable on demand at the Default Rate. 
  
 (d) General. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrowers of the date and amount of any draft presented for honor under any LC
(but failure to give notice will not affect Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement). Issuing Bank shall pay the requested amount upon presentment of a draft unless presentment on its face does not comply with the terms of the applicable LC
Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations to Issuing Bank and Lenders, and each Lender’s obligations to Issuing Bank, under this Section are absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Issuing Bank is not responsible for, the validity,
enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness of documents or endorsements (even if they are in any respect invalid, unenforceable, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged), (ii) any 

  

 21 

 
dispute by any Company with or any Company’s claims, setoffs, defenses, counterclaims, or other Rights against any Credit Party or any other Person, or
(iii) the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default. However, nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of Borrowers’ Rights to assert any claim or defense based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Credit Party.
Issuing. Bank shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent to promptly distribute reimbursement payments received from any Borrower to all Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share. 
  
 (e) Obligation of Lenders. If Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuing Bank as
provided in Section 2.3(c) by the date on which reimbursement is due under that Section, and funds cannot be advanced under Section 2.1 to satisfy the reimbursement obligations, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
Borrowers’ failure, of the date and amount paid, and of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount. Each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally snake available to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, in
immediately available funds its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid reimbursement obligation, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(d). Funds are due and payable to Administrative Agent before the close of business on the Business Day when
Administrative Agent gives notice to each Lender of Borrowers’ reimbursement failure (if notice is given before 1:00 p.m.) or on the next succeeding Business Day (if notice is given after 1:00 p.m). All amounts payable by any Lender accrue
interest after the due date at the Federal Funds Rate from the day the applicable draft or draw is paid by Administrative Agent to (but not including) the date the amount is paid by such Lender to Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such
funds, Administrative Agent shall make them available to Issuing Bank. 
  
 (f) Duties of Issuing Bank. Each Credit Party and each Borrower agree that, in paying any draft under any LC, Issuing Bank has no responsibility to obtain any document (other than any documents expressly required by the respective LC) or to
ascertain or inquire as to any document’s validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness or the authority of any Person delivering it. Neither Issuing Bank nor its Representatives will be liable to any Credit Party or any
Company for any LC’s use or for any beneficiary’s acts or omissions (including, without limitation, any acts or omissions constituting ordinary negligence). Any action, inaction, error, delay, or omission taken or suffered by Issuing Bank
or any of its Representatives in connection with any LC, applicable drafts or documents, or the transmission, dispatch, or delivery of any related message or advice, if in good faith and in conformity with applicable Governmental Requirements and in
accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (as amended or modified), is binding upon the Companies and the
Credit Parties and, except as provided in Section 2.3(e), does not place Issuing Bank or any of its Representatives under any resulting liability to any Company or any Credit Party. Issuing Bank is not liable to any Company or any Credit Party for
any action taken or omitted, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, by Issuing Bank or its Representative in connection with any LC. 
  
 (g) Cash Collateral. On the Termination Date and if requested by Required Lenders while a Default exists, Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of Issuing Bank and Lenders, cash collateral in an amount to equal the then-existing LC Exposure. 
  
 (h) INDEMNIFICATION. EACH BORROWER SHALL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY, AND SAVE EACH CREDIT PARTY, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, HARMLESS FROM AND
AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, CHARGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY INCUR OR BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LC, ANY DISPUTE ABOUT IT, OR THE
FAILURE OF ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DRAW 

  

 22 

 
REQUEST UNDER ANY LC AS A RESULT OF AN ACTOR OMISSION (WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG) OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. ALTHOUGH EACH CREDIT PARTY,
AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE IDENTIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, NO PERSON IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNITY UNDER THE FOREGOING FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

  
 (i) LC Agreements. Although referenced in any LC, terms of any
particular agreement or other obligation to the beneficiary are not incorporated into this Agreement in any manner. The fees and other amounts payable with respect to each LC are as provided in this Agreement, drafts under each LC are part of the
Obligation, only the events specified in this Agreement as a Default shall constitute a default under any LC or LC Agreement, and the terms of this Agreement control any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any LC Agreement. 

 
 2.4 Competitive Bid Facility. If the Trust achieves an Investment Grade
Rating, then Lenders agree that, upon the written request of Borrowers to Administrative Agent, Borrowers and the Credit Parties shall enter into negotiations to amend this Agreement to provide for an uncommitted competitive advance facility
pursuant to which Borrowers may obtain competitive advances from Lenders through an auction mechanism. The competitive advance facility shall include terms, conditions, and fees acceptable to Borrowers and the Credit Parties. 
  
 SECTION 3 
  
 TERMS OF PAYMENT 
  
 3.1 Notes and Payments. 
  
 (a) The Total Principal Debt shall be evidenced by the Notes, which Notes shall be payable by each Borrower, jointly and severally, to Lenders in the
aggregate stated principal amount of the Total Commitment, or so much thereof as shall be outstanding at maturity. 
  
 (b) Borrowers must make each payment and prepayment on the Obligation, without offset, counterclaim, or deduction, to Administrative Agent’s
principal office in Dallas, Texas, in Dollars that will be available for immediate use by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the day due. Payments received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Administrative Agent
shall pay to each Lender any payment to which such Lender is entitled on the same day Administrative Agent receives the funds from Borrowers if Administrative Agent receives the payment or prepayment before 2,00 p.m, and otherwise before 2:00 p.m on
the following Business Day. If and to the extent that Administrative Agent does not make payments to any Lender when due, then Administrative Agent shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such unpaid amounts together with interest at the Federal
Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the payment date. 
  

 23 

 3.2 Interest and Principal Payments. 
  
 (a) Interest Payments. 
  
 (i) Subject to Section 13.2, accrued interest on each Base Rate Borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each calendar month during the term of
this Agreement, commencing on August 31, 2001, and on the Termination Date; provided, however, that interest with respect to any Base Rate Borrowing shall also be due and payable on the Conversion date of any such Borrowing to a Eurodollar
Borrowing. 
  
 (ii) Subject to Section 13.2, accrued interest on
each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on the last day of its respective Interest Period; provided that if any Interest Period is greater than three (3) months, then accrued interest shall also be due and payable on the
date that is three (3) months after the commencement of such Interest Period. 
  
 (b) Principal Payments. The Total Principal Debt is due and payable on the Termination Date. 
  
 (c) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrowers may voluntarily repay or prepay all or any part of the Total Principal Debt at any time without premium or penalty,
subject to the following conditions: 
  
 (i)
Administrative Agent must receive Borrowers’ written payment notice by 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days preceding the date of payment of any Borrowing, which shall specify the payment date and the Type and amount of the Borrowing(s)
to be paid, and which shall constitute an irrevocable and binding obligation of Borrowers to make a repayment or prepayment on the designated date; 
  
 (ii) each partial repayment or prepayment must be in a minimum amount of at least $500,000 and be an integral multiple of $100.000, or, if
such repayment or prepayment is less than $500.000, then equal to the Total Principal Debt plus all accrued interest thereon; and 
  
 (iii) Borrowers shall pay any related Funding Loss upon demand. 
  

3.3 Interest Options. Except as specifically otherwise provided, Borrowings shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in each case as designated or deemed designated by Borrowers and, in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings, for the Interest Period designated by Borrowers),
and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Base Rate and Maximum Rate is effective, without notice to Borrowers or any other Person, upon the effective date of change. 
  
 3.4 Quotation of Rates. A Representative of Borrowers may call Administrative Agent before delivering a Borrowing Request to
receive an indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not bind Administrative Agent or Lenders or affect the interest rate that is actually in effect when Borrowers deliver its Borrowing Request or on the Borrowing
Date. 
  
 3.5 Default Rate. If permitted by applicable law, all
past-due Principal Debt (at its stated maturity or upon acceleration) and past-due interest acting on any of the foregoing, shall bear interest from 

  

 24 

 
the date of any Default at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether payment is made before or after entry of a judgment. 
  
 3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to any
Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate on that Borrowing is limited to the Maximum Rate, provided than any subsequent reductions in the designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum Rate until the
total amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total interest paid or
accrued is less than the interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at that time and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrowers shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the
lesser of the amount of interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid
or accrued on the Notes. 
  
 3.7 Interest Calculations.

  
 (a) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days for all Borrowings (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the Maximum Rate, in
which event interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest rate determinations and calculations by Administrative Agent are conclusive and binding absent manifest
error. 
  
 (b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to
calculation of the Base Rate and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be paid under this Agreement that are based upon those rates, Each Lender may fund and maintain
its funding of all or any part of each Borrowing as it selects. 
  
 3.8 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan Document or any document related thereto, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that no Credit Party may contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive or apply,
as interest on all or any part of the Obligation any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount or receive any unearned interest in violation of any applicable law, and, if any Credit Party ever does so, then any excess shall be
treated as a partial repayment or prepayment of principal and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrowers and the Credit Parties shall, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit (and the Credit Parties and Borrowers agree that is the case and that provision in this Agreement for multiple Borrowings is for convenience only), (b)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary repayments or prepayments and their effects, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout
the entire contemplated term of the Obligation. If. however, the Obligation is paid in full before the end of its full contemplated term, and if the interest received for its actual period of existence exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the Credit
Parties shall refund any excess (and the Credit Parties may not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Governmental Requirements for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest
in excess of the Maximum Amount). 
  

 25 

 3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrowers request any Eurodollar Borrowing, Borrowers may elect the applicable
interest period (each an “Interest Period”), which may be, at Borrowers’ option, seven (7) days (but only if available from all Lenders), one (1) month or two (2), three (3), or six (6) months, subject to the following conditions: (a)
the initial Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing commences on the applicable Borrowing Date or Conversion date, and each subsequent Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing commences on the day when the next preceding applicable Interest
Period expires; (b) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing begins on a day for which there exists no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the Interest Period (“Ending Calendar Month”), then
the Interest Period ends on the next succeeding Business Day of the Ending Calendar Month, unless there is no succeeding Business Day in the Ending Calendar Month in which case the Interest Period ends on the next preceding Business Day of the
Ending Calendar Month; (c) no Interest Period for any portion of Total Principal Debt may extend beyond the scheduled repayment date for that portion of Principal Debt; and (d) there may not be in effect at any one time more than eight (8) Interest
Periods. 
  
 3.10 Continuations; Conversions. Borrowers may (a) on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period Convert all or part of a Eurodollar Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing, (b) at any time Convert all or part of a Base Rate Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (c) on the last day of an Interest
Period, Continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for a new Interest Period, Any such Conversion or Continuation is subject to the dollar limits and denominations of Section 2.1 and may be accomplished by delivering a Borrowing Request to Administrative Agent
no later than 11:00 ant on the third (3rd) Business Day before (i) the Conversion date for Conversion to a Eurodollar Borrowing, (ii) the last day of the Interest Period, for the Continuation to a new Interest Period, and (iii) the last day of the
Interest Period for Conversion to a Base Rate Borrowing. Absent such a Borrowing Notice, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be Continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing having a one (1) month Interest Period (so long as no Default exists and or the last day of
such Interest Period does not extend beyond the Maturity Date, in either such case such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be Converted to a Base Rate Borrowing) when the applicable Interest Period expires. 
  
 3.11 Order of Application. 
  
 (a) No Default. If no Default exists, then except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Loan Documents, any payment shall be applied to the Obligation in the order and manner as Borrowers direct. 
  
 (b) Default. If a Default exists, any payment (including proceeds from the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all
fees and expenses for which any Credit Party have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents (and if such payment is less than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against unpaid and
unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date); (ii) to accrued interest on the Principal Debt; (iii) to the Total Principal Debt and the remaining Obligation in the order and manner as the Required Lenders deem appropriate;
and (iv) as a deposit with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, as security for and payment of any LC Exposure. 
  
 (c) Pro Rata. Each payment or prepayment shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of such payment or prepayment.

  

 26 

 3.12 Right of Setoff; Adjustments. 
  
 (a) Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time
owing by such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, irrespective
of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The Rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other Rights (including, without limitation, other Rights of setoff) that
such Lender may have. 
  
 (b) Adjustments. If any Lender (a
“Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Principal Debt owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff. or otherwise),
in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Principal Debt owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the
other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Principal Debt owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof as shall be necessary to cause
such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with all Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Lender, then such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this Section
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such
participation. 
  
 3.13 Booking Borrowings. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of any of its Affiliates. However, no Affiliate is entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.14 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to those Borrowings, and a transfer may not be made if, as a direct result of it, Section 3.14 or 3.15 would apply to any of the Obligation. If any of the
conditions of Sections 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 ever apply to a Lender, then such Lender shall, to the extent possible, carry or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its
Affiliates so long as the transfer is consistent with the other provisions of this Section, does not create any burden or adverse circumstance for such Lender that would not otherwise exist, and eliminates or ameliorates the conditions of Sections
3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 as applicable. 
  
 3.14 Increased Cost and
Reduced Return. 
  
 (a) Change in Laws. If, after the date
hereof, the adoption of any applicable Governmental Requirement, or any change in any applicable Governmental Requirement, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration 

  

 27 

 
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority: 
  
 (i) shall subject
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, its Note, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Borrowings, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowings (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office
or such Applicable Lending Office); 
  
 (ii) shall
impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to arty extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or 
  
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making,
Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Borrowings or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowings, then
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 
  
 (b) Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable Governmental Requirement regarding
capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon
demand Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
  
 (c) Notice. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.14 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.14 shall furnish to Borrowers and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
  

 28 

 (d) Suspension of Eurodollar Borrowings. If any Lender requests compensation by Borrowers under this
Section 3.14, then Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent). suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings, or Convert all Eurodollar Borrowings into Base Rate Borrowings, until
the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.17 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the Right of such Lender to receive the compensation so
requested. 
  
 3.15 Limitation on Types of Borrowings. If on or
prior to the first (1st) day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing: 
  
 (a) Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period in accordance with the definition of “Eurodollar Rate;” or 
  
 (b) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive)
and notify Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding Eurodollar Borrowings for such Interest Period; 
  
 then Administrative Agent shall give Borrowers prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such
condition remains in effect, Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Borrowings, Continue any Eurodollar Borrowings, or to Convert any Base Rate Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings and Borrowers shall, on the last day(s)
of the then-current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings, either prepay such Borrowings or Convert such Borrowings into Base Rate Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 3.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in
the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Borrowings hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrowers thereof and such Lender’s
obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings and to Convert Base Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Borrowings (in which case the
provisions of Section 3.17 shall be applicable). 
  
 3.17
Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings or to Convert Base Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 3.14, 3.75, or 3.76, such Lender’s
Eurodollar Borrowings shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Borrowings on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for all Eurodollar Borrowings (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 3.16, on such earlier date
as such Lender may specify to Borrowers with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Sections 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 that gave rise to such Conversion no
longer exist: 
  
 (a) to the extent that such Lender’s
Eurodollar Borrowings have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Borrowings; and 
  
 (b) all Borrowings that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender
as Eurodollar Borrowings shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Borrowings, and all Borrowings of such Lender 

  

 29 

 
that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Borrowings. 
  
 If such Lender gives notice to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the
circumstances specified in Sections 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.17 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances
ceasing to exist), such Lender’s Base Rate Borrowings shall be automatically Converted. on the first days) of the next succeeding interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings, to the extent necessary so that, after giving
effect thereto, all Eurodollar Borrowings held by Lenders are held Pro Rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods). 
  
 3.18 Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (herein called a “Funding Loss”) incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Borrowing for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Obligation
pursuant to Section 11.1) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Borrowing; or 
  
 (b) any failure by Borrowers for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 5 to be satisfied)
to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Borrowing on the date for such borrowing, Conversion. Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice. 
  
 A Funding Loss shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to (i) the Principal Debt of a Eurodollar Borrowing (A) prepaid on a date
(the “Prepayment Date”) other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing, (B) Converted on a date (the “Conversion Date”) other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing, or (C) not borrowed, Converted, Continued, or prepaid on the applicable date (the “Notice Abandonment Date”) for Borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment of such Eurodollar Borrowing specified in the
relevant Borrowing Notice, times (ii) the number of days in the period from the Prepayment Date, Conversion Date, or Notice Abandonment Date, as the case may be, through the last day of the Interest Period for the applicable Eurodollar Borrowing so
prepaid or Converted (or in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay, the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing which would have commenced on the date specified for such Borrowing) (the “Terminated Interest
Period”) divided by 360, times (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing (the “Original Interest Period”) less the Eurodollar Rate determined as of the Prepayment Date, the Conversion
Date, or the Notice Abandonment Date, as the case may be, for the Terminated Interest Period. If the Eurodollar Rate for the Terminated Interest Period as of the Prepayment Date, the Conversion Date, or the Notice Abandonment Date, as the case may
be, is higher than the Eurodollar Rate for the Original Interest Period, or if the amount determined under the immediately preceding sentence is less than $100, then no Funding Loss shall be payable. 
  
 3.19 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Any and all payments by Borrowers to or for the account of any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities 

  

 30 

 
with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes imposed on its income, net receipts, gross income. gross receipts, and
franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or such Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties,
levies, imposts; deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.19) such Lender or
such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Borrowers shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.3, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
  
 (b) In addition. Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp
or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 3.19) paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto except for Taxes or Other Taxes arising from such
Lender’s gross negligence. 
  
 (d) Each Lender organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a
Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrowers or any Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrowers and Administrative Agent with (i)
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which
reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code),
certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 
  

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide Borrowers and Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to
Section 3.19(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
3.19(a) or (b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of 

  

 31 

 
its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover
such Taxes. 
  
 (f) If Borrowers are required to pay additional
amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.19, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment
which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a

 (c) Lenders’ Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a quarterly facility fee (prorated for partial quarters) equal to the sum of the amounts obtained by multiplying the
Commitment of such Lender times a per annum rate equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.10%). Such facility fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date, and shall be due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September, and December
during the term hereof, convincing on September 30, 2001, and on the Termination Date, based upon the Commitment for such Lender for each day during the quarter ending on such date. 
  
 (d) LC Fees. As an inducement for the issuance (including, without limitation, the extension) of each LC, Borrowers agree to
pay to Administrative Agent: 
  
 (i) For the
ratable account of each Lender, on the day the fee is payable, an issuance fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the greater of (A) the product of the average face amount 

  

 32 

 
of such LC during each applicable quarterly period times one percent (1%) per annum, and (B) $1,000; and 
  
 (ii) For the account of Issuing Bank, payable on the date of
issuance, an issuance fee, equal to the product of the average face amount of such LC during each applicable quarterly period times one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum. 
  
 (e) Extension Fees. Upon the extension of the Maturity Date, as provided in Section 3.21, Borrowers agree to pay
Administrative Agent, on or before the original Maturity Date, for the ratable account of Consenting Lenders (as defined in Section 3.21), an extension fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%) of the Total Commitment. 
  
 3.21 Extension of Maturity Date. Borrowers may request one-year extensions of
the Maturity Date by making such request in writing (an “Extension Request”) to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to each July 31 during the term of this Agreement (except for the July 31 that is the then-existing
Maturity Date). Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any such Extension Request (the date Administrative Agent receives such Extension Request being the “Request Date”) and each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent
within thirty (30) days after the Request Date whether such Lender consents to such extension; provided that the failure to respond by Administrative Agent or any Lender to an Extension Request shall be deemed to be a denial of such consent by such
Person. If Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) consent to such
extension (such Lenders being “Consenting Lenders” and the Lenders not consenting being “Non-Consenting Lenders”) within thirty (30) days after the Request Date (the date Administrative Agent receives the necessary consents to
such extension and receives or is deemed to have received the consent or denial of consent of all Lenders being the “Approval Date”), then the then-existing Maturity Date shall be extended for one (1) year as to the Consenting Lenders so
long as (a) no Default or Potential Default exists, (b) Borrowers, on or before ninety (90) days after the Approval Date, either (i) pays to the Non-Consenting Lenders the Principal Debt owing to such Non-Consenting Lenders, together with all
accrued unpaid interest thereon, all fees, and any Funding Loss payable under Section 3.18 owing to such Non-Consenting Lenders, in which case the Commitment of each such Non-Consenting Lenders shall be terminated, or (ii) effect one or more

Consenting Lenders, the extension fee set forth in Section 3.20(e). Any such assignment to a new Lender or Lenders shall be subject to the payment to the assigning Lender an amount equal to the Principal Debt owing to such assigning Lender as of the
effective date of such assignment, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon, all fees, and any Funding Loss payable under Section 3.18 as a result of such payment to the assigning Lender by the assignee Lender. Administrative Agent agrees
to exercise its reasonable best efforts to assist Borrowers in identifying prospective assignees of the Non Consenting Lenders’ Commitments hereunder-, provided, however, that Administrative Agent has no obligation to ensure that any such
assignees will agree to purchase assignments from the Non-Consenting Lenders. Any Non-Consenting Lender shall, on the effective date of the termination of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment or the assignment to another Lender described
above, cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, provided that Borrowers shall continue to be obligated to such Lender under Section 7.12 with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (as defined in Section 7.12) arising prior to
such date. If Borrowers fail to effect assignments from the Non-Consenting Lenders to a new Lender or Lenders within ninety (90) days after the Approval Date, then Borrowers may elect to not extend the then-existing Maturity Date, as provided
herein, by giving Administrative Agent written notice thereof within ninety-five (95) days after the 

  

 33 

 
Approval Date. In such event. Borrowers shall not be required to pay the extension fee set forth in Section 3.20(e). 
  
 3.22 Option to Replace Lenders. If any Lender shall make demand for payment
or reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.14(a) or Section 3.14(b) or notifies Borrowers of the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 3.15(b), then, provided that (a) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) the circumstances
resulting in such demand for payment or reimbursement are not applicable to all Lenders, Borrowers may terminate the Commitment of such Lender, in whole but not in part, by either (i) (A) giving such Lender and Administrative Agent not less than
five (5) Business Days’ written notice thereof, which notice shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt thereof by such Lender and Administrative Agent and shall specify the date of such termination, and (B) paying such Lender (and
there shall become due and payable) on such date the outstanding Principal Debt of all Borrowings made by such Lender, all interest thereon, and any other Obligation owed to such Lender (including any amounts payable under Section 3.18). if any, or
(ii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.11, proposing the introduction of a replacement Lender satisfactory to Administrative Agent, or obtaining the agreement of one or more existing Lenders, to assume the entire amount of the Commitment of
the Lender whose Commitment is being terminated, on the effective date of such termination. Any such assignment to a replacement Lender or an existing Lender shall be subject to the payment to the assigning Lender an amount equal to the Principal
Debt owing to such assigning Lender as of the effective date of such assignment, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon and any Funding Loss payable under Section 3.18 as a result of such payment to the assigning Lender by the assignee
Lender. Upon the satisfaction of all the foregoing conditions, such Lender that is being terminated shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, provided that Borrowers shall continue to be obligated to such Lender under
Section 7.12 with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (as defined in Section 7.12) arising prior to such termination.

Borrowing Base Property for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base. If Administrative Agent delivers a notice with respect to a Borrowing Base Property as set forth in this section, then at such time as such Borrowing Base Property is no longer
subject to any of the conditions described above, Borrowers may give Administrative Agent written notice thereof (together with reasonably detailed evidence of the cure of such condition in a manner reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) and
such Borrowing Base Property shall, effective with the delivery by Borrowers of the next Borrowing Base Report, be considered a Borrowing Base Property for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base until such time as any of the conditions set forth
above apply thereto. 
  
 (g) Release of Borrowing Base Properties

having annual lease payments of $10,000,000 or more (individually or in the aggregate) and such default shall continue for more than any applicable grace
period, if any. 
  
 SECTION 11 
  
 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 11.1 Remedies Upon Default. 
  
 (a) Debtor Relief. If a Default (i) occurs under Section 10.3(c) or (d) (and
in the case of (d), such Default shall not have been remedied during any period of grace contained therein), or (ii) occurs and is continuing under Section 10.3(a) or (b), the commitment to extend credit under this Agreement automatically
terminates, the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation automatically becomes due and payable without any action of any kind whatsoever. 
  
 (b) Other Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms of Section 13.9(b), then Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of
the Required Lenders shall, do any one or more of the following: (i) if the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 11.1(a), then declare the entire unpaid balance of all or any part of the Obligation immediately
due and payable, whereupon it is due and payable; (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this Agreement; (iii) reduce any claim to judgment; and (iv) exercise any and all other legal or equitable Rights afforded by the Loan
Documents, the Governmental Requirements of the State of Texas, or any other applicable jurisdiction. 
  
 11.2 Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Company waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any part of the
Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation. 
  
 11.3 Performance by Administrative Agent. If any covenant, duty, or agreement of Borrowers is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, Administrative Agent may, while a Default exists, at its option, perform, or attempt to perform that covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of Borrowers (and any amount expended by Administrative Agent in its performance or attempted
performance is payable by to Administrative Agent on demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of Administrative Agent’s expenditure until paid). However, neither Administrative Agent nor any
Lender assumes or shall have, except by its express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty, or agreement of Borrowers. 
  
 11.4 Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in any Loan Document shall, or shall be deemed to,
give any Agent or any Lender the Right to exercise control over the assets (including real Property), affairs, or management of any Company. 
  
 11.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by any Agent or any Lender of any partial payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
Default then existing. No waiver by any Credit Parry of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default. No delay or omission by any Credit Party in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents will
impair that 

  

 53 

 
Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan Documents or otherwise. 
  
 11.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to the Credit Parties at law or in equity, whether or not the
Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Agents or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Documents. 
  
 11.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by any Credit Party from the exercise of any Rights
pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation according to Section 3.11. 
  
 11.8 Certain Proceedings. Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, and all other documents and papers Administrative Agent
reasonably requests in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, or authorization of any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any
Rights under the Loan Documents_ Because Borrowers agree that Agents’ and Lenders’ remedies at law for failure of Borrowers to comply with the provisions of this paragraph would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately
compensable in damages, Borrowers agree that the covenants of this Section 11.8 may be specifically enforced. 
  
 SECTION 12 
  
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 12.1 Appointment and
Authorization of Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Each Lender hereby
irrevocably (subject to Section 12.9) appoints, designates, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan
Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the
use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Legal
Requirement. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
  
 (b) Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of Lenders with respect to any LCs
issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as Issuing Bank may agree at the request of Required Lenders to act for Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided, however, that Issuing Bank shall have
all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 12 

  

 54 

 
with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Issuing Bank in connection with LCs issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application
and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the LC as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 12 included Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with
respect to Issuing Bank. 
  
 12.2 Delegation of Duties,
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, 
  
 12.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall be (a)
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (INCLUDING ANY ACTION OR OMISSION CONSTITUTING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE BY AN
AGENT RELATED PERSON) (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) responsible in any manner to any Lender or Participant for any recital, statement, representation, or
warranty made by any Company or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate. report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Company or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Company or any Affiliate thereof. 
  
 12.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Company), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders or all Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and Participants. Where
this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless Required Lenders otherwise determine, Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the
consent or a vote of Lenders. 
  

 55 

 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6.1, each Lender that
has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved, or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance, or satisfaction, or
required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender. 
  
 12.5 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default, except
with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to
this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to such Potential Default or Default as may be directed by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction. Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders. 
  
 12.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each
Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any
Company or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their
possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial, and other condition and creditworthiness of the Companies and their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Legal Requirements relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrowers. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition, or creditworthiness of any Company or any Affiliate of any Company which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
  
 12.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand
each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of any Company to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful 

  

 56 

 
misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of Rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers.
The undertaking in this Section 12.7 shall survive termination of the Total Commitment, the payment of all of the Obligation hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 
  
 12.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Company or
any Affiliate of any Company as though Bank of America were not Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of any other Credit Party. The Credit Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of
America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent
shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Borrowings, Bank of America shall have the same Rights under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such Rights as though it were not Administrative
Agent or Issuing Bank, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 
  
 12.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders for cause (i.e., Administrative Agent is
continuing to fail to perform its responsibilities as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, then
Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrowers at all times other than during the existence of a Default (which consent of
Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders
and Borrowers, a successor administrative agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the Rights and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 7.12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided
for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Bank of America may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of Required Lenders unless Bank of America shall also simultaneously be replaced and fully 

  

 57 

 
released as “Issuing Bunk” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form. and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America. 
  
 12.10 Other Agents; Lead Managers. No Lender identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “co-documentation agent, “joint lead arranger,” or “joint book manager” shall have any Right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under
this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied,
and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  
 12.11 Approval of Lenders. 
  
 (a) All communications from Administrative Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval, or disapproval (i) shall be given
in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent, or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or thing
may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral
information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply
promptly, but in any event (x) within thirty (30) days (or such lesser period as may be required under the Loan Documents for Administrative Agent to respond) for those matters requiring the consent by all Lenders, and (y) within fifteen (15)
Business Days (or such lesser period as may be required under the Loan Documents for Administrative Agent to respond) for those matters requiring the consent by the Required Lenders, in each instance, after receipt of the request therefore by
Administrative Agent (in either event, the “Lender Reply Period”). 
  
 (b) If the Lender Reply Period is conspicuously set forth in a written notice from Administrative Agent to a Lender, then unless such Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the
recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination if such written notice from Administrative Agent shall
conspicuously state that such approval or consent shall be deemed given unless a response is received within the Lender Reply Period. 
  
 SECTION 13 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 13.1 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in any of the Loan Documents are, unless specified otherwise, for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, amplify, or modify the terms of the Loan Documents, nor affect
the meaning thereof. 
  
 13.2 Nonbusiness Days; Time. Any payment
or action that is due under any Loan Document on a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business Day (but interest shall continue to accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the payment concerns a
Eurodollar 

  

 58 

 
Borrowing, in which case if the next-succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month then such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business
Day. 
  
 13.3 Communications. Unless otherwise specifically
provided, whenever any Loan Document requires or permits any consent, approval, notice, request, demand, or other communication from one party to another, communication must be in writing (which may be by telex or telecopy) to be effective and shall
be deemed to have been given (a) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex number and the appropriate answerback is received. (b) if by telecopy, when transmitted to the appropriate telecopy number (and all communications sent by
telecopy must be confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any requirement in this parenthetical shall not affect the date when the telecopy shall be deemed to have been delivered), (c) if by mail, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after it is
enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed, certified mail; return receipt requested, and deposited in the appropriate official postal service, or (d) if by any other means, when actually delivered. Until changed by notice

satisfactory to Agents and their counsel. 
  
 13.5 Survival. All
covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations, and warranties made in arty of the Loan Documents survive all closings under the Loan Documents and, except as otherwise indicated, are not affected by any investigation made by any party.

  
 13.6 Governing Law. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN A LOAN
DOCUMENT, THE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS (OTHER THAN CONFLICT-OF-LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, ENFORCEMENT,
AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
  
 13.7 Invalid
Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is fully severable, the appropriate Loan Document shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never been included; and the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the severed provision. Agents, Lenders, and Borrowers agree to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be possible
and be legal, valid and enforceable. However, if the provision held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is a material part of this Agreement, such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
replaced by a clause or provision judicially construed and interpreted to be as similar in substance and content to the original terms of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as the context thereof would reasonably allow, so
that such clause or provision would thereafter be legal, valid, and enforceable. 
  
 13.8 Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN EACH CASE FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (AND IN THE CASE OF BORROWERS, FOR EACH OF ITS CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES), (a) IRREVOCABLY

other common law and statutory claims. Each Borrower (for itself and on behalf of each of its Consolidated Affiliates) acknowledges that these waivers are a material inducement to each Credit Party’s agreement to enter into a business
relationship, that each Credit Party has already relied on these waivers in entering into this Agreement, and that each Credit Party will continue to rely on each of these waivers in related future dealings. Each Borrower (for itself and on behalf
of each of its Consolidated Affiliates) further warrants and represents that it has reviewed these waivers with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily agrees to each waiver following consultation with legal counsel THE WAIVERS IN

 (e) Conflicts. Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and terms and provisions in any other Loan Document is controlled by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

 
 (t) Course of Dealing. No course of dealing or any failure or delay by any
Credit Party or any of its Representatives with respect to exercising any Right of any Credit Party under this Agreement operates as a waiver thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as appropriate, to be
effective, and a waiver will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. 
  
 13.10 Multiple Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all
purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of thereof, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart. Each Lender need not execute the same counterpart of this Agreement so
long as identical counterparts are executed by each Borrower and each Credit Party. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts of this Agreement have been executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each Credit Party and each
Borrower, or, in the case only of Lenders, when Administrative Agent has received telecopied, telexed, or other evidence satisfactory to it that each Lender has executed and is delivering to Administrative Agent a counterpart of this Agreement.

 13.11 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its Rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its Rights under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and Borrowings (including for purposes of this Section 13.11(b) participation in the LC Exposure) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Borrowings at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Total Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Borrowings outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent, shall not be less
than $10,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as

Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.11(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the Rights of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.18, 3.19, and 7.12). Upon request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.11(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights in accordance with Section 13.11(d).

  
 (c) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and
principal amount of the Borrowings and LC Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers and the Credit Parties may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary, The Register 

  

 62 

 
shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Credit Party, at any reasonable time and from tune to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

 
 (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to, Borrowers or
Administrative Agent, sell participation to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Borrowings
(including such Lender’s participations in the LC Exposure) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrowers, Administrative Agent, and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver, or other modification that would (A) postpone any date upon which any payment of
money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, (B) reduce the principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable to such Participant, or (C) release any guarantor (except as expressly provided in Sections 4.2(g) and 4.6) or all or substantially
all of any collateral. Subject to Section 13.11(e), Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.14, 3.18, and 3.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to Section 13.11(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12(a) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.12(b) as though it
were a Lender. 
  
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.14, 3.18 or Section 3.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.14 or 3.19 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.19(d) as though it
were a Lender. 
  
 (t) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (g) If the consent of Borrowers to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not
meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 13.11(b)), Borrowers shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by
the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrowers prior to such fifth (5`h) Business Day. 
  
 (h) As used herein; the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate
of a Lender, or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
  

 63 

 “Eligible Assignee” means: (i) a Lender; (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender; (iii)
an Approved Fund; and (iv) any other Person (other than a natural Person) approved by Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). 
  
 “Fund’ means any Person
(other than a natural Person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding, or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time
Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Borrowings pursuant to Section 13.11(b), then Bank of America may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrowers and the Credit Parties, resign as Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation
as Issuing Bank, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing
Bank. Bank of America shall retain all the rights of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Borrowings outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all LC Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to
require Lenders to make Base Rate Borrowings or fund participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.3(c)). 
  
 (j) Agents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Agent shall, at all times prior to its resignation or replacement as an Agent
hereunder, retain a minimum Commitment of $25,000,000 (or, if approved by Borrowers, $15,000,000). 
  
 13.12 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect until the Total Commitment is terminated and the Obligation is paid in full (except for provisions under the Loan Documents which by their terms expressly survive payment of the Obligation and termination of the Loan Documents). If
at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by Borrowers or any other obligor on the Obligation under any Loan Document is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, then the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents with respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time. 
  
 13.13 Entirety. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS (EACH AS
AMENDED IN WRITING FROM TIME TO TIME) EXECUTED BY BORROWERS AND/OR ANY CREDIT PARTY REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG BORROWERS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS

 13.14 Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that, on the Closing Date, after all conditions precedent set forth herein have been satisfied or waived:

consolidation, and modification of the Obligations outstanding under the Existing Agreement;
