The Borrower shall give such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing described in Sections 2.3(a) and (b), as  applicable, by telephone, facsimile or email (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing) pursuant to a Borrowing Request, which shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or  conversion (which shall be a  Business  Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be comprised of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans, whether such Borrowing is to be advanced, continued, or converted, the Type of Revolving Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any  such  telephonic, facsimile or email notice given by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation and that, if any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
(d)Notice to the Lenders.

If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or (b) of (i) the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or (ii) a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to pay outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, and has not notified the Administrative Agent by (A) 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or (B) the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due, respectively, that it intends to repay such Borrowing or Reimbursement Obligation, as applicable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested, respectively, (x) the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month or (y) the advance of a new Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing pursuant to this clause (y) shall be deemed to have been funded on such date by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and to have been applied on such day to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due, in each case so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing but otherwise disregarding the conditions to the advance of Borrowings set forth in Section 4.3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (i) each Eurodollar Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and 

(ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.
(f) Conversion.

If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans, then, from and after  the date  such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.
Section 2.4 Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that:
(a)no Interest Period may be selected (1) with respect to Revolving Loans that extends beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (2) with respect to Term A-1 Loans that extends beyond the Maturity Date, or (3) with respect to Term A-2 Loans that extends beyond the Maturity Date;
(b)whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and
(c)for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.
Section 2.5    Funding of Loans.
(a)Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans, and 2:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its Loans comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date. In the event that any Lender does not make such amounts available to the Administrative Agent by the time prescribed above, but such amount is received later that day, such amount shall nevertheless be promptly credited to the Borrower in the manner described in the preceding sentence (and if such credit is made on 

the next Business Day, with interest on such amount to begin accruing hereunder on such next Business Day); provided that acceptance by the Borrower of any such late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against such Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.
(b)Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Revolving Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such amount. If  such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(c)Source of Funding Options. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.6    Applicable Interest Rates.
(a)Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(b)Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of , conversion to a Base Rate Loan on a day prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, on the date of such conversion.
(c)Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(d)Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Market Index Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurodollar Loan.
Section 2.7 Default Rate.  If any payment of principal or interest on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 8.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due as provided in Section  2.12(c), such past due Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:
(a)(i) for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) for any Swingline Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the LIBOR Market Index Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the LIBOR Market Index Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin;
(b)for any Eurodollar Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the rate of interest (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and
(c)for any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in Dollars, the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, or (y) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in any currency other than Dollars, the interest rate (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) that would otherwise then be applicable under this Agreement to a Eurodollar Loan for an Interest Period of one month as from time to time in effect (but not less than such interest rate in effect at the time such payment was due).
It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America, including to the extent applicable, 46 U.S.C. Section 31322(b)), and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is  contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender  under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or, if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, 

refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).
Section 2.8    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)Repayment of Loans.
(i)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the unpaid amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower then outstanding.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)Evidence of Obligations. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)Notes. The Revolving Loans outstanding to the Borrower from any Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a Note of the Borrower payable to such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8A (each, a “Revolving Note”). If requested by the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Loans outstanding to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a Note of the Borrower payable to the Swingline Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8B (each, a “Swingline Note”).

The Term A-2 Loans outstanding to the Borrower from any Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a Note of the Borrower payable to such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8D (each, a “Term Loan A-2 Note” and together with the Revolving Notes, the Swingline Note and the Term Loan A-1 Notes, each a “Note”). The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender requesting a Note, an original of each such Note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor (or such longer period of time as such Lender may reasonably agree).

Section 2.9  Optional Prepayments of Loans.  The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Eurodollar Loans, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or such smaller amount as needed to prepay any particular Borrowing in full) subject to any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11, with respect to any such prepayment on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of the applicable Loan; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the proposed prepayment date (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Optional prepayments shall be applied to the Loans then outstanding in the order specified by the Borrower.
Section 2.10    Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
(a)Excess Revolving Exposure. In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, then (i) the Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an L/C Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 8.4(b). Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Revolving Loans being prepaid. If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice. Any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice or minimum prepayment requirements set forth in Section 2.9. Each such prepayment of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.
(b)Issuance and Incurrence of Indebtedness. In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or Incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary not permitted to be issued or Incurred pursuant to Section 7.3, the Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to, no later than five (5) Business Day following such receipt, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans for the ratable account of the Term Loan Lenders.
(c)Asset Sales; Events of Loss. No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt (or the date on which such amounts become Net Cash Proceeds by virtue of the expiration of the relevant Reinvestment Period and the relevant CRF Deposit Period) by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale or Event of Loss, the Borrower shall or it shall cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to apply an amount equal to (i) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale and (ii) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $7,500,000 for each Collateral Vessel in respect of any Event of Loss related to such Collateral Vessel, to prepay outstanding Term Loans for the ratable account of the Term Loan Lenders.
(d)Excess Cash Flow. After the end of each calendar year (commencing with the year ending December 31, 2016), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Term Loans for the ratable account of the Term Loan Lenders no later than May 15 of the subsequent calendar year (commencing with May 15, 2017), in an amount as set forth below:
(i)an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such calendar year until an 

aggregate amount of $75,000,000 of Term Loans has been repaid (through scheduled amortization or otherwise) or prepaid for the period from the initial Borrowing to the date of such calculation (or the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans is reduced to zero, if less) (the “Mandatory Cash Sweep”), and
(ii)if the aggregate amount of (i) funds paid under any prior Mandatory Cash Sweep plus (ii) the amount calculated as the Mandatory Cash Sweep for the most recent calendar year exceeds 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the period beginning the first day of the Fiscal Quarter containing the Closing Date to the end of the most recent calendar year, the Mandatory Cash Sweep for such calendar year shall be reduced by the difference between those amounts.
(e)All prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by the concurrent payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.
(f)The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10 a certificate of an Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment.
		
	(g)
	All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.11.

Section 2.11 Breakage Fees. If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other  indirect or consequential damages)  by reason of  the liquidation or re- employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan as a result of any of the following events other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 9.1 or 9.2:
(a)any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise); therefor; or
(b)any failure to make a  principal payment of any such Loan on the due date
any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.9, as applicable (other than by reason of a default of such Lender), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided in such certificate, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.
Section 2.12    Letters of Credit.
(a)Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the Lenders’ obligations under this Section 2.12, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, from time to time on and after the Closing Date prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, at the request of the Borrower, one or more standby letters of credit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in a face amount in each case of at least $1,000,000 (or, in either case, such lesser amount as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree to in its sole discretion); provided that an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, increase or extend a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.12 if (i) immediately after giving effect to the issuance, increase or extension thereof, the aggregate L/C Exposures of all Lenders would thereby exceed the L/C Limit, (ii) the issuance, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate any legal or regulatory restriction then applicable to such Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender or would violate one 

or more policies of such Issuing Bank generally applicable to all applicants with respect to the type of Letters of Credit requested, in each case as notified by such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent before the date of issuance, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after giving effect to the issuance, increase or extension thereof, the L/C Exposure of such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed in writing to by such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion); and provided, further that, if there exists a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, increase or extend a Letter of Credit unless the Borrower shall have complied with Section 2.12(g) with respect to any Fronting Exposure that exists at the time of such issuance, increase or extension, as applicable, or would exist immediately after giving effect to such issuance, increase or extension, as applicable. Letters of Credit and any increases and extensions thereof hereunder shall be issued in face amounts denominated in Dollars.
		
	(b)
	Issuance Procedure.

(i)To request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested issuance (or such shorter period of time as such Issuing Bank may reasonably agree to in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall deliver to such Issuing Bank (x) a duly executed application for such Letter of Credit substantially in such Issuing Bank’s customary form or in such other form as may be approved by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank or complete such other computerized issuance or application procedure, instituted from time to time by such Issuing Bank and agreed to by the Borrower (each, an “Application”), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, in each case, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Bank, and (y) such other information as such Issuing Bank may reasonably request in accordance with its customary letter of credit issuance procedures, including information that would permit such Issuing Bank to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable law or regulations, including any Sanctions Laws and Regulations. Upon the receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of a properly completed and, if applicable, executed Application and any other reasonably requested information in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, such Issuing Bank will process such Application in accordance with its customary procedures and issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and an Application, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the requested issuance that any of the conditions to issuance (whether set forth herein, in Section 4.3 or otherwise) have not been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank may assume that all such conditions have been satisfied. The Borrower requesting the issuance of any Letter of Credit may cancel such request to issue such Letter of Credit at any time prior to the actual issuance thereof by providing the applicable Issuing Bank with written notice thereof; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall remain liable to such Issuing Bank for all costs and expenses reasonably Incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection therewith. Unless cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than five (5) Business Days before the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit agrees to issue amendments to any Letter of Credit increasing its amount, or extending its expiration date, at the request of the Borrower, subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.3 (which each Issuing Bank may assume are satisfied unless notified otherwise by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.12(b)) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.
(ii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application and, in any event, in the case of Letters of Credit with a one-year tenor, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto- Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that (A) any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (and, unless an Event of Default is continuing, such Issuing Bank shall give such notice of non-extension to the beneficiary if so directed by the Borrower) and (B) the Issuing Bank will not permit the extension of any Letter of Credit that would result in the expiration date of such Letter of Credit being 

later than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank). Unless otherwise notified to the Borrower by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (A) one year from the date of such issuance or an anniversary of any such extension and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank); provided that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (x) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.12 or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two (2) Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this Section 2.12(b)(ii), from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.3 are not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Letter of Credit (including an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit) may have an expiration date later than the date that is five (5) Business Days before the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, if (A) the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit shall provide, no later than the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (x) cash collateral to the applicable Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit or (y) a back-to-back letter of credit in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn face amount of such Letter  of  Credit from a bank or financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and which provides that such Issuing Bank may make a drawing thereunder in the event that such Issuing Bank pays a drawing under such Letter of Credit or (B) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit; provided, each Revolving Lender’s participation under Section 2.12(d) in any such Letter of Credit shall revert to such Issuing Bank on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and no Revolving Lender shall be entitled to any Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 3.1(b) on and after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
		
	(c)
	Reimbursement Obligations, etc.

(i)The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit requested by the Borrower (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) within two (2) Business Days of the date that the Borrower receives notice from such Issuing Bank that such draft has been paid or such other payment has been made (and such Issuing Bank hereby agrees to give the Borrower such notice within one (1) Business Day after such draft is drawn or such other payment is made, provided, however, that the failure of such Issuing Bank to provide notice within such time period shall not release Borrower from its Reimbursement Obligations). Reimbursement Obligations may be reimbursed by the Borrower with either funds not borrowed hereunder or with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.3 (including paragraph (e) thereof) and subject to the other applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such draft is paid or other payment is made until (but excluding the date) such Reimbursement Obligation is paid at the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in the case of a Reimbursement Obligation payable in Dollars) or the rate of interest that would then be applicable hereunder to an Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin, in each case so long as such Reimbursement Obligation shall not be past due, and thereafter at the default rate per annum as set forth in Section 2.7(c), whether or not the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred.
(ii)In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary(ies) thereof, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to drafts or other documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such drafts or other documents without 

responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that in respect of any Letter of Credit that contains a non-documentary condition, including any determination as to whether the Borrower or other Person performed or failed to perform obligations under any contract, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deem such condition as not stated and shall disregard such condition.
(iii)The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to its or any Credit Party’s use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c) any other circumstances (whether or not similar to any of the foregoing) whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, including such Issuing Bank’s own negligence, but not for such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(iv)The Borrower  agrees  for the  benefit of each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender that, notwithstanding any provision of any Application, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12(c) and each applicable Application shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Application under all circumstances whatsoever (other than the defense of payment in full in accordance with this Agreement), including, the following circumstances (subject in all cases to the defense of payment in full in accordance with this Agreement):
(A)any  lack  of  validity  or  enforceability  of  any  of  the  L/C Documents;
(B)any amendment or waiver of or any consent to depart from all or any of the provisions of any of the L/C Documents;
(C)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), an Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another L/C Document or any unrelated transaction;
(D)any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(E)payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation to such Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; or
(F)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12(c), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under an Application;
provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (but excluding special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)The Participating Interests. Immediately upon the issuance or increase of each Letter of Credit, without any further action by any Person, each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly shall be deemed 

to have purchased from each Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Revolving Lender, an undivided percentage participating interest, to the extent of its Revolving Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued or increased by, and Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank at the time required in Sections 2.12(c) and 2.3(e), or if such Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice of same to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such Issuing Bank shall have the right to require each Revolving Lender to fund its participation in such Reimbursement Obligation. Each Revolving Lender (except the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit, if it is also a Revolving Lender) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation not later than the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent to such effect, if such notice is received before 2:00 P.M., or not later than the following Business Day if such notice is received after such time. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such Issuing Bank. If a Revolving Lender fails to pay timely such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, it shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank interest on such amount accrued from the date payment of such amount was made by such Issuing Bank to the date of such payment by the Revolving Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for each such day and only after such payment shall such Revolving Lender be entitled to receive its Revolving Percentage of each payment received on the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such Issuing Bank. The several obligations of the Revolving Lenders to the Issuing Banks under this Section 2.12(d) shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment any Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever including any defense based on or related to (i) the failure of the demand for payment under the Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, (iii) force majeure or (iv) ANY DEFENSE RESULTING FROM AN ISSUING BANK’S OWN SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any subsequent reduction or termination of any Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender, and each payment by a Revolving Lender under this Section 2.12 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)Letter of Credit and  Reimbursement Obligation  Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Obligation at any time shall be deemed to be, respectively, the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time or the amount of Reimbursement Obligation outstanding at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(f)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance (or increase or extension) of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the issuance (or increase or extension) of such Letters of Credit and the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(g)Letter of Credit Fronting Exposure. If, at any time there shall exist any Fronting Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall, if the full amount of such Fronting Exposure has not been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, take one or more of the following actions as the Borrower may elect: (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent cash (with respect to each Letter of Credit in the same currency as the currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued) or Cash Equivalent Collateral to secure such unallocated Fronting Exposure in accordance with Section 

8.4(b) and/or (ii) enter into other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion, including pursuant to Section 9.6) with the Issuing Bank to eliminate such Fronting Exposure.
Section 2.13 Reductions and Terminations of the Commitments and the  Swingline Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice (provided, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings, in which case such notice shall be deemed rescinded if such condition shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed Closing Date of such commitment termination, provided, further, that upon any such rescission, the Borrower shall be liable for any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section  2.11) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or reduce the Commitments or the Swingline Commitment, in each case without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as determined by the Borrower and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) as to the Commitments, to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Percentages, Term Loan A-1 Percentages or Term Loan A-2 Percentages, as applicable; provided, that (a) the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders, after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date and (b) the Term Loan A-2 Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate Term Loan A-2 Exposure of all Lenders, after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the amount of L/C Obligations in the immediately preceding proviso, such L/C Obligations may be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of (a) cash and Cash Equivalent Collateral deposited with the Administrative Agent for the purpose of securing such L/C Obligations and (b) the face amount of back-to-back letters of credit issued in connection with one or more Letters of Credit included in such L/C Obligations by a bank(s) or financial institution(s) whose short-term unsecured debt rating is rated A or above by either S&P or Moody’s or such other bank(s) or financial institution(s) satisfactory to the Required Revolving Lenders with an expiration date of at least five (5) days after the expiration date of the applicable backstopped Letter of Credit and which provides that the Administrative Agent may make a drawing thereunder in the event that a drawing is made under the applicable backstopped Letter of Credit; provided, further that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the Swingline Commitment, after giving effect to any contemporaneous reduction thereof. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice (i) to each Revolving Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the Swingline Commitment, (ii) to each Term Loan A-1 Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Term Loan A-1 Commitments and (iii) to each Term Loan A-2 Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Term Loan A-2 Commitments. Any termination of Commitments or the Swingline  Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.13 is permanent and may not be reinstated.
Section 2.14    [Reserved].
Section 2.15    Swingline Loans.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on and after the Closing Date prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment, (ii) the sum of (x) the Swingline Exposure of such Swingline Lender, (y) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by such Swingline Lender (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender) and (z) the L/C Exposure of such Swingline Lender (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender) exceeding its Revolving Commitment then in effect and (iii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect. The Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. Each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is initially borrowed and (b) the Swingline Maturity Date. No Swingline Lender shall make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender stating that an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lenders shall have received written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Event of Default in accordance with Section 11.11. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower 

may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)To request a  Swingline Loan, the Borrower  shall deliver, by hand delivery, facsimile or email, a duly completed and executed Swingline Loan Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15 (each, a “Swingline Request”) to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 2:00 p.m., on the requested advance date of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such Swingline Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower to an account as directed in writing by the Borrower in the applicable Swingline Request maintained with the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.
(c)On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to each Revolving Lender  that all then-outstanding Swingline  Loans shall be  funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, in which case Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each Revolving Lender pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans upon one Business Day notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i)  that the  amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in  Section 4.3 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and  is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the aggregate Revolving Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Revolving Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Percentages, provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Revolving Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.
(d)Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section  2.15(c), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.
(e)If, at any time there shall exist any Fronting Exposure with respect to the Swingline Exposure, then the Borrower shall, if the full amount of such Fronting Exposure has not been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, prepay such Swingline Loan to eliminate such unallocated Fronting Exposure or enter into other arrangements satisfactory to the Swingline Lender (in the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion, including pursuant to Section 9.6) with the Swingline Lender to eliminate such Fronting Exposure.
Section 2.16    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.10(a).

(ii)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender, to be held as collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has  failed to fund its portion thereof as  required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Credit Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Credit Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held to be applied) pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall have no recourse to any Credit Party for the payment of such amounts, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto and the application of such payments in accordance with this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Default, and no payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be considered to be overdue for purposes of any Credit Document, if, had such payments been applied without regard to this Section, no such Event of Default or Default would have occurred and no such payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender would have been overdue.
(iii)Certain Fees. Commitment fees under Section 3.1(a) shall  cease  to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any letter of credit fees under Section 3.1(b), in each case for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(iv)Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.15, the “Revolving Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender that is Revolving Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and with respect to a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify 

the parties hereto, whereupon as of the Closing Date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the outstanding Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages or Term Loan A-2 Percentages, as applicable (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)No Waiver. The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16(c) are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Credit Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III 
FEES AND PAYMENTS
Section 3.1    Fees.
(a)Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Term Loan A-1 Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Term Loan A-1 Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Term Loan A-1 Commitment terminates. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Term Loan A-2 Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Term Loan A-2 Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Term Loan A-2 Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 2015, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Term Loan A-1 Commitment Termination Date or Term Loan A-2 Commitment Termination Date, as applicable. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)Letter of Credit Fees. Commencing June 30, 2015, and thereafter on the last day of each March, June, September and December, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears, for the period until the next Letter of Credit fee payment date, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, a non-refundable fee payable in Dollars on the aggregate undrawn amount on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed and based on the then scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee at a mutually acceptable rate with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(c)Administrative Agent and Arrangement Fees. The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the administrative agency fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the arrangement fees previously agreed to by the Borrower and the Arranger, in each case, in the manner provided by such other agreements.

Section 3.2    Place and Application of Payments.
(a)All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all fees and other amounts payable by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of any set-off, counterclaim or defense by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations, customary issuance and administrative fees, fronting fees and expenses in respect of Letters of Credit described in Section 3.1(b), to the applicable Issuing Bank and, in the case of Swingline Loans, to the Swingline Lender, except as provided in Section  2.15), for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof no later than 2:00 P.M. in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed like funds in like currency to (i) each Lender owed an Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Obligation then owing to each Lender, and (ii) each Issuing Bank entitled thereto.
(b)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all Obligations then due and payable under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent in the order set forth in Section 8.7. In calculating the amount of Obligations owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and fees under Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in writing are due to such Lenders.
Section 3.3    Withholding Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law, each payment by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any such withholding is so required by law (as determined in good faith by an applicable withholding agent), the applicable withholding agent shall make the withholding and pay the amount withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority within the time allowed. Moreover, in the case of any such present or future Taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is organized, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the case of each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, the following Taxes (whether imposed on or with respect to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document):
(i)Taxes imposed on, based upon, or measured by such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s, the Swingline Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income, profits, gains, overall revenues or receipts, and branch profits, franchise and similar Taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of a present or former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender (including in each case any applicable lending office) or Administrative Agent, or any owner or affiliate thereof, as the case may be, other than connections arising from such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s, such Swingline Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced, any Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document;
(ii)Taxes imposed (other than pursuant to FATCA) by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein) on or with respect to a Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, except to the extent that such tax is imposed as a result of any Change in Law (x) after the date hereof, in the case of each Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent originally a party hereto, (y) in the case of any 

Lender or other Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent, after the date on which it becomes a Lender, Issuing Bank, or Administrative Agent, as the case may be (unless such Lender or Issuing Bank acquired its interest following a request by the Borrower under Section 9.6) or (z) after the designation by such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent of a new Lending Office (other than pursuant to this Section  3.3(a) or Section 9.3(c));
		
	(iii)
	Taxes imposed by the United States of America pursuant to FATCA; or

(iv)Taxes which would not have been imposed but for (a) the failure of such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to provide on a timely basis (I) the applicable forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, as required pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(d), or (II) any other form, certification, documentation or proof which is reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or (b) a determination by a taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction that a form, certification, documentation or other proof provided by such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent to establish an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge is false or not properly completed; (all present or future Taxes, other than the Taxes described in the preceding clauses (i) through  (iv), “Indemnified Taxes”), the Borrower shall forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had withholding of any Indemnified Taxes not been made. If the Borrower pays any such Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing the payment or certified copies thereof, or other evidence of payment if such tax receipts have not yet been received by the Borrower (with such tax receipts to be delivered within thirty (30) days after being actually received), to the Lender, the Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) within thirty (30) days of such payment. If the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender pays any Indemnified Taxes which the Borrower has failed to withhold or  pay to the  appropriate  governmental authority, or  any penalties  or  interest in connection therewith, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, that Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or that Lender for the payment in the currency in which such payment was made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written demand therefor. Such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline  Lender  or  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  make  written  demand  on  the  Borrower  for reimbursement hereunder within one calendar year after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent makes payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent for payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest. Any such demand shall describe in reasonable detail such Indemnified Taxes, penalties or interest, including the amount thereof if then known to such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. In the event that such Lender, the Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank or  the  Administrative  Agent fails to give  the  Borrower timely notice as provided herein, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim for reimbursement. In the event that any taxing authority notifies the Borrower that it has improperly failed to withhold any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) from a payment to any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower shall timely and fully pay such Taxes to such taxing authority and such Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the amount of such Taxes to the Borrower within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written demand therefor. If the Borrower is or will be required to pay an additional amount to a Lender, an Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), then such payee shall use reasonable efforts to take requested measures (including changing the jurisdiction of its Lending Office) so as to reduce or eliminate any such amounts which may thereafter accrue, if such change would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such payee.

(i)Each Lender, the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of a properly completed and duly executed certification on the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form) wherein such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank either (x) claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be received pursuant to the Credit Documents (as if such payments were U.S. source) or (y) certifies that it is not a United States person, provided, that, in the case of subclause (y), such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank also shall submit a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit 3.3 to the effect that such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code.

(ii)Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent properly completed and duly executed copies of any additional forms of the United States Internal Revenue Service (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) that the Borrower believe to be reasonably necessary to accomplish exemption from (or a reduced rate of) withholding obligations under then-applicable United States law or that the Administrative Agent believes to be necessary to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s performance under this Agreement; provided that the submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s, Swingline Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such submission would subject such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank.
(iii)Each Lender, the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower two copies of a properly completed and duly executed certification on United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 to the effect that it is such a United States person and is exempt from U.S. withholding tax.
(c)Inability of Lender to Submit Forms.

(d)FATCA Compliance. If any payment required to be made to any Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to Taxes imposed by the United States of America pursuant to FATCA as a result of such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank failing to comply with the applicable reporting  requirements  of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by  applicable law (including as prescribed  by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(e)Refund of Taxes. If any Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 11.3, in either case, with respect to which the Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or  Section 11.3, such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) to the Borrower within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. A Lender, Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such assistance as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund; provided, however, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall in any event be required to disclose any information to the Borrower with respect to the overall tax position (or any other information relating to taxes that such Person reasonably determines to be confidential) of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender.
(f)Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender  from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under  this paragraph (f).
(g)FATCA Certification. Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) hereby represents and warrants that it is entitled to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA with respect to payments to be received pursuant to any Credit Document (as if such payments were U.S. source), and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such exemption. In the event that any such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender ceases to maintain such exemption, it shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.
(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 5.2 Power and Authority; Validity. Each of the Credit Parties has the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents.

Section 5.3  No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene in any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, except where such contravention would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien other than any Permitted Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under, the terms of any material  agreement  evidencing  Indebtedness  to  which  such  Credit  Party  or  any  of  its  Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership or limited liability company agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(f)In the event that any claim or Lien in excess of $2,500,000 is asserted against a Collateral Vessel for loss, damage or expense that is covered by insurance required hereunder and it is necessary for the applicable Collateral Vessel Owner to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of such Collateral Vessel or to release such Collateral Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or Lien, the Security Trustee, on request of the applicable Collateral Vessel Owner, may, in the sole discretion of the Security Trustee, assign to any person, firm or corporation executing a surety or guarantee bond or other agreement to save or release the Collateral Vessel from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Security Trustee in and to said insurance covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement.
(g)The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Collateral Vessel Owner to, execute or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance required under this Section 6.5 may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and will not permit or allow any Collateral Vessel to undertake any voyage or operational risk which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously notified the Administrative Agent in writing and insured the relevant Collateral Vessel by additional coverage  to extend to such voyages, risks, passengers  or  cargoes  in accordance  with customary marine insurance industry standards.
(h)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the rights of any charterer, the Security Trustee shall have the exclusive right to negotiate and agree to any compromise to any claim with respect to any Collateral Vessel with respect to which any underwriter proposes to pay less on any claim than the amount thereof.
(i)If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to maintain insurance in accordance with this Section 6.5 with respect to the Collateral Vessels, the Security Trustee shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to procure such insurance, and the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of procuring such insurance.

(j)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any Collateral Document to the contrary, with respect to any Collateral Vessel that constitutes MarAd Collateral as of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor the relevant MarAd Vessel Owner shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 6.5(b) with respect to any such Collateral Vessel, nor any requirement for assignment of insurances or designation of the Security Trustee as loss payee or the provision of other endorsements or rights that would flow from the Security Trustee being designated as loss payee, for the period from the Closing Date up to the date falling sixty (60) days following the MarAd Lien Release Date.

The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

ARTICLE IX CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 9.1    Change in Law.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if a Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or any Issuing Bank to issue, extend or 

increase any Letter of Credit, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations to fund Eurodollar Loans or make, continue or convert, as applicable, such Loans under this Agreement, or to issue, extend or increase any such Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Loans or such Issuing Bank to issue, extend or increase such Letters of Credit.
(b)Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in Section 9.1(a) in respect of any such Eurodollar Loan and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, (i) any such outstanding Eurodollar Loan of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any requested Borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan as a Base Rate Loan, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.
(c)Any Lender or Issuing Bank that has given any notice pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to make such Eurodollar Loans or issue such Letters of Credit, give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into and maintain, as applicable, such Loans or issue such Letters of Credit shall be reinstated.
Section 9.2   Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR Rate.  If on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (after consultation with the other Lenders) that, due to changes in circumstances since the date hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate (including the unavailability of matching deposits) or such rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in reasonable detail) of such determination and of the basis therefor to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after they do not exist), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans as or into such Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into such Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 9.3    Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a)If, a Change  in Law, or compliance by any Lender  or Issuing Bank (or  its applicable Lending Office), with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority issued after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, or such Lender becomes the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank, or a Lender):
(i)subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge related to any Revolving Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, or its obligation to advance or maintain Loans or issue any Letter of Credit, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligation or any participations in any thereof, or any other amounts due under this Agreement related to its Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Reimbursement Obligations or participations therein, or its obligation to make Revolving Loans, issue Letters of Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for changes with respect to Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes); or
(ii)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Revolving Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank 

market any other condition affecting its Loans, Letters of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its participation in any thereof, or its obligation to advance or maintain Revolving Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in any thereof; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) of advancing or maintaining any Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this Agreement, by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, subject to Section 9.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 9.3(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall, without duplication under this Agreement, be obligated to pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)If, after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that a Change in Law regarding  capital adequacy or liquidity (including any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 12 CFR Part 225, Appendix A) or of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital adequacy or liquidity rules heretofore adopted and issued by any governmental authority), or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s, Swingline Lender’s or its controlling corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity in effect immediately before such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender to be material, then, subject to Section 9.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 9.3(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or  Swingline Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender for such reduction.
(c)Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks that determines to seek compensation under this Section 9.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender, the Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the  Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank to such compensation within one calendar year after the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 365th day preceding such written demand; provided that if the basis or circumstances giving rise to such compensation is retroactive, then such one calendar year period referred to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period with retroactive effect thereof. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and any payment under Section 3.3, including the designation of a different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.3. A certificate of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, claiming compensation under this  Section 9.3, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as 

applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the correctness thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
Section 9.4    Lending Offices.

ARTICLE X
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SECURITY TRUSTEE, OTHER AGENTS AND ISSUING BANKS
Section 10.1  Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.  Each of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Section 10.2    Rights and Powers as a Lender.  The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents, to the extent 

each such Person is also a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent, or an Other Agent, and the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent or an Other Agent under the Credit Documents. The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes, to the extent such Person is also a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender.
Section 10.3 Action by Administrative Agent and the Other Agents. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. No Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder in such capacity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action concerning any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 8.2 and 8.4. Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 8.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders and the Swingline Lender. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may Incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders.
Section 10.4 Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 10.5  Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.11, all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not Incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties.  In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them 

under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender and the Swingline Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender or the Swingline Lender for such matters. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders or the Swingline Lender information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).
Section 10.6 Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or Incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that this Section 10.6 shall not limit the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.7    Resignation.
(a)Resignation of Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be  unreasonably withheld or delayed)  shall  have  the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed  by  the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents; and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Other Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article X and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be.
(b)Resignation of Issuing Banks. If at any time an Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 11.10, such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank. In such event, the Borrower may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent and the acceptance of the duties of an Issuing Bank by the Lender so requested, request that another Lender serve as Issuing Bank under this Agreement; provided, however, that the absence of any successor Issuing Bank shall not affect the resignation of the resigning Issuing Bank. Any resigning Issuing Bank 

shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the Closing Date of its resignation and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12). Upon the appointment of any successor Issuing Bank (i) such successor Issuing Bank shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and (ii) such successor Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, previously issued by the resigning Issuing Bank that are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 10.8   Sub-Agent.  The Sub-Agent has been designated under this Agreement to carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent as described herein. The Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by the Sub-Agent, and each of the Borrower and the Lenders agrees that the Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of  the benefits of  the Administrative Agent under  this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefit of any Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents, each holder of the Rate Management and Currency Protection Obligations, each holder of the Specified Cash Management Obligations and each other Person for whose benefit the Security Trustee is granted a Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents) hereby authorizes and directs (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as Security Trustee under each Collateral Document, (ii) the Security Trustee, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to the Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and to enter into additional Collateral Documents or amendments to Collateral Documents, as contemplated by Section 6.12 or as necessary or advisable in connection with transfers or changes to the flag or vessel and/or ship registry of any Collateral Vessel permitted by Section 6.13, (iii) the Administrative Agent to, or to instruct the Security Trustee to (A) release any and all Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, subordinate any Lien on any and all such Collateral and/or release any and all Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of  the Collateral Documents and Section 11.21 and (B) execute and deliver, and take any action referred to in Section  11.21, to evidence any such release or subordination and (iv) the Administrative Agent to appoint the Security Trustee as its mortgagee trustee to receive, hold, administer and enforce the Collateral Vessel Mortgages covering the Collateral Vessels.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Security Trustee’s authority, as applicable, to release any Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, to subordinate any such Liens and/or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, in each case, pursuant to this Section 10.9.
ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 No Waiver; etc. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.
Section 11.2    Non-Business Day.  Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation, or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Loan, any Reimbursement 

Obligation, or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.
Section 11.3 Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp, intangible or similar Taxes payable with respect to any Credit Document or under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, including interest and penalties, in the event any such Taxes are assessed irrespective of when or against whom such assessment is made, other than any such Taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 11.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender to such compensation no later than one calendar year after such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims under this  Section 11.3 accruing prior to the one year anniversary preceding such written demand (except that, if the applicable event giving rise to such Taxes is retroactive, then the one year calendar period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Each Lender, the Swingline Lender or each Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates shall promptly give notice to the Borrower of any action taken by it under this Section 11.6, provided that any failure of such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates to give such notice to the Borrower shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 11.10(b), (ii) to any Eligible Assignee by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.10(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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, Participants to the extent provided in Section  11.10(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to an Eligible Assignee; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in Section 11.10(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)in any case not described in Section 11.10(b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among the Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)Required Consents. In addition to the consents for any assignments required by Section 11.10(b)(i)(B):

(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received written notice thereof;
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facilities if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)the consent of each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility.
(iv)Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,600; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
		
	(v)
	No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to

(A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.
(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this  Section 11.10, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the 

case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under  this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 11.10.
(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans 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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
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, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender hereunder and that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.3,  Section 2.11 and Section 3.3 and (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section  3.3(b) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 9.3 or Section 3.3, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 9.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered 

form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
		
	(f)
	Disqualified Institutions.

(i)No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (f)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (f) shall apply; provided further that any assignment to any Person, including a Disqualified Institution, made without the consent of the Borrower shall be invalid if the Borrower’s consent is required for such assignment under this  Section 11.10.
(ii)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans of such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.10), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding 

the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
(iv)The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.
Section 11.11 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) in the case of this Agreement, the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (b) in the case of any other Credit Document, each party thereto and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders), provided that:
(i)no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank owed any such Obligation, (C) release any Collateral for any Collateralized Obligations (other than as provided in accordance with Section 8.4) without the consent of all Lenders, (D) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties of the Guarantors under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided for in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Documents or Section 11.21) without the consent of all Lenders, (E) waive the provisions of Article IV hereof without in each such case the consent of all Lenders, (F) change any provision requiring ratable funding or sharing of payments without the consent of all Lenders or (G) amend or waive this Section  11.11, the definition herein of “Required Lenders” or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
(ii)notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) any Borrowing Request may be amended with the consent of only the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (B) any Swingline Request may be amended with the consent of only the Borrower and the Swingline Lender, (C) any Application may be amended with the consent of only the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank and (D) any Letter of Credit may be amended only in accordance with Section 2.12; and
(iii)notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (A) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Section 11.12    Headings.  Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
Section 11.13    Legal Fees, Other Costs and Indemnification.
(a)The Borrower, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay all reasonable 

documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel to the Administrative Agent, plus, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (not to exceed such amount previously agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated therein are consummated. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender, the Arranger, each Issuing Bank,  the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including the reasonable fees of one legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties, plus one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, another firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict, and other reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or Incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Loans, any Letter of Credit, or the application or proposed application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan or use of any Letter of Credit, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES,(b) any investigation of  any third party or  any Governmental Authority involving any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, the Arranger, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in each case, in such capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, or use of any Letter of Credit or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, the Arranger, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in each case, in such capacity hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing (i) arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law or willful breach of its obligations hereunder as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent arising from a litigation, claim or proceeding solely among Indemnified Parties (other than a litigation, claim or proceeding brought against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or to the extent arising from the actions of a Credit Party) or (iii) to the extent such indemnification relates to Taxes, except any Taxes arising from a non-Tax claim and except as provided in Section 11.3. The Borrower, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, the Arranger, the Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank at any time, shall reimburse such Agent, Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Arranger, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank for any reasonable legal or other expenses Incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’ prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if (i) the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’ liability pursuant to this Section 11.13 to any related party of such Indemnified Party, (ii) an Event of Default as described in Section 8.1(a), (b) (as a result of a default under Section 7.7), (f) or (g) or has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes the Credit Parties will not be able to satisfy the full amount of such claim and the Credit Parties have failed to provide sufficient collateral to the Indemnified Party to secure the value of such claim.

(b)       To the extent that any Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under Section 11.13(a), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days of demand therefor, as the case may be, such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their respective Affiliates, to prospective Lenders and Participants, and to prospective counterparties under hedging, swap or derivatives agreements, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (v) with the written consent of the Borrower, or (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15, or (B) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, excluding any Information from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such information (i) that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or such Subsidiary and (ii) pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, but excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or  the  Lender  receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

Any provision of this Agreement that  is  prohibited  or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as  to such jurisdiction, be ineffective  to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in  any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.17 Currency Conversion. All payments of Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency other than the currency required hereunder into the currency required hereunder any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in the currency required hereunder, and (iii) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 11.17 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due.
Section 11.18    [Reserved].

For the purposes of this Pricing Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Pricing Schedule:
“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower, the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00.
“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower, the Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower, the Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status.
The Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rates shall be determined based on the Leverage Ratio set forth in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, or Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be effective five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has received the applicable Compliance Certificate, except that the Applicable Margin on a Eurodollar Loan shall be adjusted after the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent at the time required by Section 6.6(c), then the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be deemed to be determined at Level III Status until the date the applicable Compliance Certificate is so delivered (at which time, the Status shall be based upon the Leverage Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate).
In the event that any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.6(c) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher or lower Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and/or Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate for
any period (each, an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and/or Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate actually applied for such Applicable Period, the Borrower shall immediately 

(a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (b) determine the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and/or Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (c) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the net accrued additional interest and other fees owing as a result of such changes in the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and/or Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate for each such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders entitled thereto. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive Security Termination for a period of six (6) months, at which time all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (a) if at least two but less than three of the NASSCO NEWBUILDS (whether while under construction or after delivery) are subject to a Satisfactory Long-Term Contract, the Applicable Margin shall be equal to the corresponding Applicable Margin listed above, minus, in each case, 0.25% and (b) if three of the NASSCO NEWBUILDS (whether while under construction or after delivery) are subject to a Satisfactory Long-Term Contract, the Applicable Margin shall be equal to the corresponding Applicable Margin listed above, minus, in each case, 0.50%; provided that the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans shall at no time be less than 2.00%.

Section 5.    Whenever any right to enter and take possession of the Collateral Vessel accrues to the Mortgagee as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, it may require the Collateral Vessel Owner to deliver, and the Collateral Vessel Owner shall on demand, at its own cost and expense, deliver to the Mortgagee the Collateral Vessel to a location designated by the Mortgagee as demanded.   If the Mortgagee shall be entitled to take any legal proceedings to enforce any right under this Article III, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral Vessel and of the day rates, freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become due and arising from the operation thereof.

Section  6.    To the extent the Collateral Vessel Owner does not so appear, the Collateral Vessel Owner authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to appear in the name of the Collateral Vessel Owner, its successors and assigns, in any court of any country or nation of the world where a suit is pending against any Collateral Vessel because of or on account of any alleged lien (except for Permitted Liens) against such Collateral Vessel from which the Collateral Vessel has not been released, and to take such proceedings as to them or any of them may seem proper towards the defense of such suit and the purchase or discharge of such Lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by them or any of them for the purpose of such defense or purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from the Collateral Vessel Owner, its successors and assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein.
Section 7.    In the event the Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise any of its remedies under this Article III, the Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having competent jurisdiction and, in particular, the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take against the Collateral Vessel and any appurtenant property thereto at whatever place the Collateral Vessel shall be found lying. For purposes of the foregoing, any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may (without prejudice to any other method of service under applicable law) be served upon the master of the Collateral Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the master) and such service shall be deemed good service on the Collateral Vessel Owner for all purposes.
Section 8.    Each and every power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty or by statute, and each and every power and remedy whether herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy.  The Mortgagee shall not be required or bound to enforce any of its rights under any of the other Transaction Documents prior to enforcing its rights under this Mortgage.  No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any default as above defined shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment of or on account of the Obligations hereby secured maturing after any Event of Default or of any payment on account of any past default be construed to be a waiver of any right to exercise its remedies due to any future Event of Default or of any past Event of Default not completely cured thereby. No consent, waiver or approval of the Mortgagee shall be deemed to be effective unless in writing and duly signed by authorized signatories of the Mortgagee; any waiver by the Mortgagee of any of the terms of this Mortgage or any consent given under this Mortgage shall only be effective for the purpose and on the terms which it is given and shall be without prejudice to the right to give or withhold consent in relation to future matters (which are either the same or different).
Section 9.    If at any time after an Event of Default and prior to the actual sale of the Collateral Vessel by the Mortgagee or prior to any enforcement or foreclosure proceedings the Collateral Vessel Owner offers completely to cure all Events of Default and to pay all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee consequent on such Events of Default, with interest with respect to the Collateral Vessel Owner’s obligations as provided herein or in the Credit Agreement as set forth therein, then the Mortgagee may accept such offer and payment and restore the Collateral Vessel Owner to its former position, but such action, if taken, shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.
Section 10.    In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Collateral Vessel Owner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 11.    (a) The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral Vessel and the net earnings of any charter operation or other use of the Collateral Vessel and any and all other moneys received by the Mortgagee pursuant to or under the terms of this Mortgage or in any proceedings hereunder, the application of which has not elsewhere herein been specifically provided for, shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    To the extent the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral Vessel are not sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of the Obligations hereby secured, any Person liable for the Obligations hereby secured (including without limitation, the Collateral Vessel Owner and the Guarantors to the extent such Persons are liable) shall remain jointly and severally liable for such deficiency. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other agreements, documents and instruments securing or guarantying any of the Obligations hereby secured shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
Section 12.    Until one or more Events of Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Collateral Vessel Owner, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, shall be (a) suffered and permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Collateral Vessel and (b) shall have the right, from time to time in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee, to dispose of, free from the lien hereof, any boilers, engines, machinery, masts, spars, boats, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, outfit, tools, pumps, pumping equipment, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment , spare parts or any other appurtenances of the Collateral Vessel that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of the Collateral Vessel, first or simultaneously replacing the same by new boilers, engines, machinery, masts, spars, boats, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, outfit, tools, pumps, pumping equipment, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment, spare parts or any appurtenances of comparable suitability to the Collateral Vessel Owner, which shall forthwith become subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Mortgagee exercise any of its remedies under this Article III or any other provision of this Mortgage in a manner which would impair, in any way, the coastwise endorsement of the Collateral Vessel.
ARTICLE IV.

(B)This Mortgage has the right of succession on payment or discharge of the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage.
		
	(C)
	So long as the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage is outstanding the Mortgagee may exercise the rights and remedies expressed herein only under the following circumstances:

(ii)the Collateral Vessel Owner or the Mortgagee shall have tendered to the First Mortgagee all amounts secured by the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage; or
(iii)(x) the Collateral Vessel shall have  been  seized  or  arrested  (and  such seizure or arrest shall not have been released for a period exceeding fifteen days) by the First Mortgagee or shall have been seized or arrested by others; or (y) Collateral Vessel Owner shall commence any case, proceeding or other action, or have any case, proceeding or other action commenced against it  under  any  domestic  or  foreign law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; and the Mortgagee shall have determined that the failure to assert its rights or remedies hereunder 

can reasonably be expected to jeopardize the validity or priority of this Mortgage.
(D)to the extent that the provisions of the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage require the Collateral Vessel Owner to do something prohibited hereby or to refrain from doing something required hereby, or require a distribution of funds other than as provided herein, no event of default hereunder shall result from the Collateral Vessel Owner’s compliance with such provisions. So long as any portion of the debt to the First Mortgagee is outstanding, the Mortgagee may not require the Collateral Vessel Owner to comply with the provisions of this Mortgage to the extent that they require different or additional performance than that required by the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage unless the Mortgagee has obtained the prior written consent of the First Mortgagee.

(F)Mortgagee acknowledges that the First Mortgagee owes no duty to the Mortgagee in respect of this Mortgage, except that, in connection with any sale of the Collateral Vessel by the First Mortgagee, First Mortgagee shall provide the Mortgagee with the same notice of sale that it provides any buyer.
(G)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee agrees with Collateral Vessel Owner, for the benefit of the Maritime Administrator that the Mortgagee will not  take any action or present any position inconsistent with, or in opposition to, the validity, enforceability or priority of the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage, nor will the Mortgagee  take any action or present any position that has the effect of hindering, delaying, impeding, interfering with, or opposing the First Mortgagee’s enforcement of its rights under the First Preferred Fleet Mortgage, even if the First Mortgagee’s efforts to obtain the value of its collateral would not yield any proceeds to the Mortgagee hereunder.]2
