By signing below, Lessee acknowledges receipt of notice of the assignment and

the Lessor under the Lease to the same extent as Lessor, subject to Paragraph 1
above.

     3.   Lessee will not enter into any amendment of, or receive any waiver or
accommodation as to the Lease without the prior written consent of Assignee, it
being understood that any such amendment, waiver or accommodation will be void
without such consent

     4.   Lessee will deliver to Assignee copies of all notices and other
communications given or received by Lessee pursuant to the Lease.

     5.   If the Lease at any time is deemed to be a lease intended as security,
Lessee grants Lessor and Assignee a security interest in the Equipment to secure
Lessee's obligations under the Lease.

<PAGE>

     6.   Lessee acknowledges that 59 rentals of $l0,947.46 and a balloon
payment of $122.250.00 (plus applicable taxes, if any) remain payable during the
term of the Lease, and that the first of such rentals which is payable to
Assignee is due on January l, 2003.

     7.   Lessee understands that Assignee will rely upon the representations
and agreements herein in accepting the assignment.

     8.   Lessee acknowledges that the Lease is in full force and effect, that
Lessee has accepted the Equipment under the Lease, and that Lessee has not
entered into any agreement with respect to the Lease or the Equipment other than
agreements contained in the Lease and herein.

This Notice and Acknowledgement of Assignment shall constitute an agreement
between Lessee and Assignee upon its execution and delivery to Assignee.
Assignee may assign its rights under this agreement without the consent of
Lessee.

                                          Acknowledged and Agreed:

                                          INFINITE GRAPHICS INCORPORATED, Lessee

on any Funding Date (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; provided that Revolving Loans made on any Funding Date

 	  25

  amount.  Whenever Company desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a duly executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M.
(California time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan) or on the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan).  Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted
into Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D.  In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under
this subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.
                     Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under
subsection 2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this
Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.
                      Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the
matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by
Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
                      Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Borrowing for, or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make a
borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.
                     C.       Disbursement of Funds.  All Revolving Loans
shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other
Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.  Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender for that
type of Loan of the proposed borrowing.  Each such Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) on the applicable Funding Date in same day funds in Dollars at the

	  
 	  26
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  Funding and Payment Office.  Except as provided in subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a
Letter of Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Closing Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of
such Loans available to Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the
Funding and Payment Office.
                     Unless Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to a Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date.  If
such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from
such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.  If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with
interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
                      D.       The Register.
                     Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes solely as an agent of Company (it being acknowledged that

reasonable times) at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Loans of each Lender from time to time (the

amounts owed with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.  Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of its Loans

	  
 	  27
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  

 and Commitments and each payment in respect hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the
Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lender’s records.  Failure to make any recordation in the Register or in any Lender’s records, or any error in such recordation, shall not
affect any Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans.
                      E.       Optional Notes.  If so requested by any Lender by
written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such

Eurodollar Rate.  The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection
2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D.  If on any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been
delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. 
Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows: (i) if a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum or (ii)if a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
then at the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.50% per annum.
                     B.        Interest Periods.  In connection with
each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which
Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

	  
 	            (i)     the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on
the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  28
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	           (ii)     in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iii)    if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iv)    any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day
for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           (v)     no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend
beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (vi)    there shall be no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (vii)   in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.
 
	  
 	  
 

                      C.        Interest Payments.  Subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity
(including final maturity) provided that in the event any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), interest accrued on such Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).
                     D.        Conversion or Continuation.  Subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Revolving Loans equal to $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate
determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of
such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an
Interest Period applicable thereto.
                      Company shall deliver a duly executed
Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) at least one Business Day in 

	  
 	  29
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation
date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan).  In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed
conversion/continuation date.  Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each
Lender of the Loan subject to the Notice of Conversion/Continuation.
                     E.        Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts then due and payable
hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise
payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans);
provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in
this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.  
 
                    F.        Computation of Interest. 
Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the
first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be
included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.
                     G.        Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by Company with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

2.3    Fees.
                      A.     Commitment Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for
distribution to each Revolving Lender in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date equal to the average of the
daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage multiplied by 0.50% per annum, such commitment fees to be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.  
                     B.     Other Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such fees
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and Administrative Agent.
                      
2.4     Repayments, Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments; General Provisions Regarding Payments; Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments Under Subsidiary
Guaranty.
                      A.     Prepayments and
Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments.

	  
 	            (i)     Voluntary Prepayments.  Company may, upon any Business Day
with prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 10:00 A.M. (California
time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender for
the Loans to be prepaid), at any time and from time to time prepay any Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount with respect to Eurodollar
Rate Loans, and $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount with respect to Base rate Loans.  Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and
payable on the prepayment date specified therein.  Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4A(iv).
 
	  
 	  
 
	   
 	           (ii)     Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. 
Company may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or
telephone to each Revolving Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments
exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or
 
	   
 	  
 
	  
 	  31
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess of that amount.  Company’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or
reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share.  Any such voluntary
reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4A(iv).
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           (iii)     Mandatory Prepayments and Mandatory Reductions of Revolving Loan
Commitments.  The Loans shall be prepaid and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments and/or reductions to be applied as set forth below
or as more specifically provided in subsection 2.4A(iv):
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	             (a)     Prepayments and Reductions from Net Business Interruption Insurance
Proceeds.  No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Administrative Agent or by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Business Interruption Insurance Proceeds that are required to be applied to prepay the
Loans and/or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.4C, Company shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such
Net Business Interruption Insurance Proceeds.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (b)     Calculations of Net Business Interruption Insurance Proceeds Amounts;
Additional Prepayments and Reductions Based on Subsequent Calculations.  Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.4A(iii)(a), Company shall deliver to
Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Business Interruption Insurance Proceeds that gave rise to such prepayment and/or reduction.  In the event that Company shall
subsequently determine that the actual amount was greater than the amount set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, Company shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if applicable, the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and Company shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such
excess.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (c)     Prepayments Due to Reductions or Restrictions of Revolving Loan
Commitments or Due to Insufficient Borrowing Base.  Company shall from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed the

	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 32
 	  Credit Agreement
 
					

	  
 	  
 	  lesser of the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect and the Borrowing Base then in effect.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iv)     Application of Prepayments.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (a)     Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans and Order of
Maturity.  Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such
prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (b)     Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans.  Except
as provided in subsection 2.4C, any amount required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.4A(iii)(a) shall be applied first, to prepay the Revolving
Loans to the full extent thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments by the amount of such prepayment, and second, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to further permanently reduce the Revolving
Loan Commitments to the full extent thereof.  Any mandatory reduction of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.4A shall be in proportion to each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (c)     Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate
Loans.  Any prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company
pursuant to subsection 2.6D.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
				

                     B.     General Provisions
Regarding Payments.

	  
 	            (i)     Manner and Time of Payment.  All payments by Company of
principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (California
time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day. 
Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge its accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient
funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).
 
	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     Application of Payments to Principal and Interest.  Except as
provided in subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 33
 	  Credit Agreement
 
					

	  
 	  include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a
date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iii)     Apportionment of Payments.  Aggregate principal and interest
payments in respect of Revolving Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares.  Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to
each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the commitment
fees of such Lender, if any, when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments
received thereafter.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           (iv)     Payments on Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the
commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (v)     Notation of Payment.  Each Lender agrees that before disposing
of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which
interest thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Company hereunder or under such Note
with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest on such Note.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 

                     C.     Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments after Event of
Default.

	                      Upon termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitments or upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by Requisite Lenders (a) all payments received on account of the Obligations, whether from Company, from any Guarantor or otherwise, shall be applied
by Administrative Agent against the Obligations and (b) all proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Collateral Document may, in the
discretion of Administrative Agent, be held by Administrative Agent as Collateral for, and/or (then or at any time thereafter) applied in full or in part by Administrative Agent against, the
 
	  
 
	  
 	  34
 	  Credit Agreement
 

	  applicable Secured Obligations (as defined in such Collateral Document), in each case in the following order of priority:
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           (i)     to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization,
all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Administrative Agent is entitled to compensation (including the fees described in subsection 2.3), reimbursement
and indemnification under any Loan Document and all advances made by Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection
with the Loan Documents, all in accordance with subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     thereafter, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the
holders thereof (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.4B(ii) hereof); and
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iii)     thereafter, to the payment to or upon the order of such Loan Party or to whosoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
 
	  
 	  
 

                     
2.5     Use of Proceeds.
                      A.     Revolving Loans.  The proceeds of any Revolving Loans shall be
applied by Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include the making of intercompany loans to any of Company’s Subsidiaries, to the extent permitted pursuant to subsection 7.1, for their own general
corporate purposes.
                      B.     Margin
Regulations.  No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U,
Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of
proceeds.
                      
2.6     Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.
                      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall
govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:
                     A.     Determination of Applicable Interest Rate.  As soon as
practicable after 10:00 A.M. (California time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall
apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

	  
 	  35
 	  Credit Agreement
 

                      B.     Inability to Determine
Applicable Interest Rate.  In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date that by reason of circumstances
affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give
notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies
Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was
made shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan.
                     C.     Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans.  In
the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or
continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of
contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected
Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other
Lender).  Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such
determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as
the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest
Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a
determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date
on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Except as provided in the immediately preceding

	  
 	 36
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to,
Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
                      D.     Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest
Periods.  Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by
it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (including any prepayment or conversion
occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in
a notice of prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.
                     E.     Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Any Lender may make, carry
or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.
                      F.     Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the
rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar Rate Loans had
been funded in such manner.
                      G.     Eurodollar Rate
Loans After Default.  After the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate
Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested
borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or, if the conditions to making a Loan set forth in subsection 4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded by Company.

2.7     Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy.
                      A.     Compensation for Increased Costs.  Subject to the provisions
of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (including Issuing Lender) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental
rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or other Government Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date
hereof by any central bank or other Government Authority (whether or not having the force of law):

	  
 	           (i)     subjects such Lender to any additional Tax with respect to this Agreement or any of its
obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to such Lender of principal, interest,
fees or any other amount payable hereunder;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other
than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Eurodollar Rate); or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iii)     imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such
Lender or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;
 
	  
 	  
 

 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make,
making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such
Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different
method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.
 
                   B.     Taxes.

	  
 	             (i)     Payments to Be Free and Clear.  All sums payable by Company
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any
political subdivision in or of

 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from which a payment is made by or on behalf of Company or by any federation or organization of which the United
States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     Grossing-up of Payments.  If Company or any other Person is
required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (a)     Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any
such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (b)     Company shall pay any such Tax when such Tax is due, such payment to be made (if the
liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender;
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (c)     the sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or
payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it
would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (d)     within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such
deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority;
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 

 provided that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause
(c) above except to the extent that any change after the date on which such Lender became a Lender in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction,
withholding or payment from that in effect on the date on which such Lender became a Lender, in respect of payments to such Lender.

	  
 	            (iii)     Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (a)     Each Non-US Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent and to Company,
on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at

 	  such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two original copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or, in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or
881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a form W-8BEN, and, in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to Administrative Agent that it is not a “bank” (as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), a certificate of such Lender certifying that such Lender is not (i) a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a ten-percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of Company or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) in each case together with any other
certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest
payable under any of the Loan Documents.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (b)     Each Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to Administrative Agent and to Company, on or
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof), on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), or on such later date when
such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion), (1) two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender under subsection 2.7B(iii)(a), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with
respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (2) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender, together with any information, if any, such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder, to establish that such
Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (c)     Each Non-US Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial
delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  40

 	  obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent and to Company two original copies of renewals, amendments
or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to United States
withholding tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of such payment, or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company
of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (d)     Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under
clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii), (1) with respect to any Tax required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender chooses to transmit with an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY
pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(b)(2) or (2) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a), (b) or (c)(1) of this subsection 2.7B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of subsection
2.7B(iii)(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender, nothing in this subsection 2.7B(iii)(d) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7B(ii)(c) in the event that, as a result of any change in any
applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent
date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).
 
	  
 	  
 	  
 

                     C.     Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  If any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Government Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Government
Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit
or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in,
applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender
of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

2.8     Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lender to Mitigate.
                      A.     Statements.  Each Lender claiming compensation or
reimbursement pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7 or 2.8B shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such compensation or reimbursement, which
statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
                      B.     Mitigation.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as
promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the
existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7, use reasonable effort to make, issue, fund or maintain the
Commitments of such Lender or the Affected Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would
cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by
such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or
letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described
above.
                     
2.9     Replacement of a Lender.
                      If Company receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.8A from a Lender, a Revolving
Lender defaults in its obligations to fund a Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement, or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of
the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements acceptable to Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back”
letter of credit) are made) and (iii), if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to Company pursuant to subsection 2.8 and/or is unwilling to remedy its default upon 10 days prior written notice to the Subject
Lender and Administrative Agent, Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided
that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable))
through such date of replacement and a

	  
 	 42
 	  Credit Agreement
 

   release from its obligations under the Loan Documents, (2) the processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent, and
(3) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B, including, without limitation, the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement and other
supporting documents, have been fulfilled.

	 
Section 3.     LETTERS OF CREDIT
 
	  
 
	  
 	 
3.1     Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein.
 
	  
 	  
 
	               A.      Letters of Credit.  In addition to
Company requesting that Lenders make Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A, Company may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the 30th day
prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit payable on a sight basis for the account of Company for the purposes specified in the definition of Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that
Company shall not request that Issuing Lender issue (and Issuing Lender shall not issue):
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (i)     any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total
Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the lesser of the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect or the Borrowing Base then in effect;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (ii)     any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter
of Credit Usage would exceed $8,000,000;
 
	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (iii)     any Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of
(a) ten days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent Issuing
Lender from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period; and provided, further
that Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6) at the time Issuing Lender must elect
whether or not to allow such extension;
 
	  
 
	  
 	  
 	           (iv)     any Letter of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting (a) trade
payables or (b) any Indebtedness constituting “antecedent debt” (as that term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code); or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  
 	            (v)     any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars or
Pounds.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  43
 	  Credit Agreement
 
						

  On and after the date of this Agreement, the WF Letter of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes, including for purposes of the fees to be collected pursuant to
subsection 3.2, and reimbursement of costs and expenses to the extent provided herein, to be a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be governed
by the applications and agreements pertaining thereto and by this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fees with respect to the issuance of the WF Letter of Credit shall be due
hereunder.
                     B.     Mechanics of
Issuance.

	  
 	            (i)     Request for Issuance.  Whenever Company desires the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Request for Issuance no later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) at least three Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Lender in any particular instance,
in advance of the proposed date of issuance.  Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any documents described in or attached to the Request for Issuance.  In
furtherance of the provisions of subsection 10.8, and not in limitation thereof, Company may submit Requests for Issuance by telefacsimile and Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender may rely and act upon any such Request for Issuance without
receiving an original signed copy thereof.  No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming demand for payment to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of Issuing
Lender to which such demand for payment is required to be presented is located) that such demand for payment is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 A.M. (in the time zone of such office of Issuing Lender) on such business
day.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           Company shall notify Issuing Lender prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of
the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company shall be
deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     Issuance of Letter of Credit.  Upon satisfaction or waiver
(in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iii)     Notification to Revolving Lenders.  Upon the issuance of or
amendment to any Letter of Credit Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Company of such issuance or amendment in writing and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.  Upon receipt
of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender in writing of such issuance or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 44
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  amendment and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit or amendment, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender, Administrative
Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
 
	  
 	  
 

                      C.     Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of
Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings
honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.
                     
3.2     Letter of Credit Fees.
                      Company agrees to pay, with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder, (i) a fronting fee,
payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to the greater of (a) $500 and (b) 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative
Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders, equal to 2.50% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) each
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, and (ii) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit
and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under clauses (i) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with Issuing Lender’s
standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.  For purposes of calculating any fees payable under this subsection 3.2, (1) the daily amount available to be
drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on any date of determination and (2) any amount described in such clauses which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be valued based on the
applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the applicable date of determination.  Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(b) of this subsection 3.2, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each
Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.
                     
3.3     Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.
                      A.     Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings.  In
determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether
they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.
                      B.     Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of
Credit.  In the event Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it,

	  
 	  45
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date
on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a payment under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by
reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative
Agent and Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (California time) on the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall
be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a payment
under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) equal to the amount of such payment and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
specified in subsection 4.2C, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse
Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; and provided, further that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment,
Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received.  Nothing in this subsection
3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting
from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.
                     C.     Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of
Credit.

	  
 	             (i)     Payment by Revolving Lenders.  In the event that Company
shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount (calculated, in the case of a payment under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, by reference to the applicable Exchange
Rate) equal to the amount of any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such other Revolving Lender’s
respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share.  Each Revolving Lender shall make available to Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the
office of Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Lender is located) after the date notified by Issuing
Lender.  In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 46
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate
customarily used by Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.  Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Issuing
Lender any amounts made available by such Revolving Lender to Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of
Credit by Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Revolving Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company.  In the
event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other
Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Lender from Company in reimbursement of
such payment under the Letter of Credit when such payments are received.  Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other
address as such Revolving Lender may request.
 

                   D.     Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

	  
 	            (i)     Payment of Interest by Company.  Company agrees to pay to
Issuing Lender, with respect to payments under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed
by Company (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in
effect under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are
Base Rate Loans.  Interest payable pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand
is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. 
Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it, (a) Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender, out of the
interest received by Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 47
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  on which Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the
amount that such other Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been
honored under such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such payment, Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other
Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such payment so
reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Lender was so reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company.  Any such
distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Revolving Lender may request.

Credit;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)     the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
Company or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Lender or other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a
Revolving Lender, against Company, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for
which any Letter of Credit was procured);
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	           (iii)     any draft or other document presented under any 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;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (iv)     payment by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  48
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	           (v)     any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (vi)     any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party
thereto;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (vii)     any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (viii)     the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing;
 
	  
 	  
 

 provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit
shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
                      
3.5     Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.
                                As between Company and Issuing Lender, Company
assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Lender shall
not be responsible for:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should
in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or

interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of
any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender, including any act or omission by a Government Authority, and none of the above
shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.
                     In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first
paragraph of this subsection 3.5, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put
Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Company.

	  
 	  49
 	  Credit Agreement
 

                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this subsection 3.5, Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

so supplemented) correctly sets forth, as of the Closing Date, the ownership interest of Company and each of its Subsidiaries in each of the Subsidiaries of Company identified therein.

performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.
                      B.     No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by Loan

Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Organizational Documents of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other Government Authority binding on Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict

consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and disclosed in writing to Lenders.
                     C.     Governmental Consents.  The execution, delivery and
performance by Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not require any Governmental Authorization other than filings and recordings
pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral.
                      D.     Binding Obligation.  Each of the Loan Documents has been duly
executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

its Subsidiaries.
                      
5.4     No Material Adverse Change; No Restricted Junior Payments.
                     Since April 30, 2002, no event or change has occurred that has resulted in or evidences, either in any
case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any Restricted Junior Payment or agreed to do so,
except as permitted by subsection 7.5.
                      
5.5     Title to Properties; Liens; Real Property; Intellectual Property.
                      A.     Title to Properties; Liens.  Company and its Subsidiaries have

since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under subsection 7.7, and except for such defects in title and interests that do not interfere with the ability of Company and its Subsidiaries
to conduct their business.  Except as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens.
                     B.     Real Property.  As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.5B

of any thereof) affecting each Real Property Asset, regardless of whether a Loan Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment.  Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.5B annexed hereto, each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect and Company does not have knowledge of any material default that has occurred and is continuing
thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan Party, enforceable against such

 	  Credit Agreement
 

  Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting

                      C.     Intellectual Property.  As of the Closing Date, Company and
its Subsidiaries own or have the right to use, all Intellectual Property used in the conduct of their business, except where the failure to own or have such right to use in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does Company know of any valid
basis for any such claim, except for such claims that in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The use of such Intellectual Property by Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the
rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  All federal and state and all foreign registrations of and applications for

5.7     Payment of Taxes.
                      Except to the extent permitted by subsection 6.3, all material tax returns and reports of Company and its
Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Company and its Subsidiaries and upon their
respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises that are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, expect where the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Company
knows of no material proposed tax assessment against Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being actively contested by Company or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate 

	  
 	 58
 	  Credit Agreement
 

   

  proceedings; provided that such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided
therefor.

any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except where the consequences,
direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
                      
5.9     Governmental Regulation.
                     Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render
all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

Company and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, relating to Indebtedness and within the scope of subsection 8.2, will be Margin Stock.

the Internal Revenue Code is so qualified.  
                      B.     No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to

to Company, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.  Any projections and pro forma
financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be
viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.  There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to
Company (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates
and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent

                      B.     Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents.  It is the
purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such
jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by reason
of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it
may be necessary that Administrative Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein
individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”).
                      In the event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any
Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be
exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform
such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either
Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all
references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.
                     Should any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all such instruments promptly upon request by Administrative Agent.  In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.
                      9.2     
Powers and Duties; General Immunity.
                      A.     Powers; Duties Specified.  Each Lender irrevocably authorizes
Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
and thereof, together with such powers, rights and

	   
 	  84
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees.  Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Administrative
Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
                      B.     No Responsibility for Certain Matters.  Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements
made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company
to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor
shall Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the
Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not
have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.
                     C.     Exculpatory Provisions.  None of Administrative Agent or any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Administrative Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from
the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to
give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or
to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of
attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have 

	  
 	 85
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6).
                      D.     Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender.  The agency
hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.  With respect to its participation in the Loans
and the Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking, investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties
specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
                     9.3     
Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness.
                      Each Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition
and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its
Subsidiaries.  Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any
information provided to Lenders.
                      9.4     
Right to Indemnity.
                      Each Lender, in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed by
Company, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by
Administrative Agent) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or and other such Persons in exercising the powers, rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or
performing duties of Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating to or 

	  
 	 86
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of Administrative Agent resulting solely from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.  If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent or any other such Person for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity
and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
                      9.5     
Successor Administrative Agent.
                      Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to
Lenders and Company.  Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
                     9.6     
Collateral Documents and Subsidiary Guaranty.
                      Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of
Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document and the Subsidiary
Guaranty; provided that Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document or the Subsidiary Guaranty or (ii) release
any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to subsection
10.6, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien encumbering
any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, (b) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of
the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (c) subordinate the
Liens of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to any Liens permitted by subsection 7.2; provided that, in the case of a sale of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in subdivision (a) or (b), the requirements of 

	  
 	 87
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  subsection 10.14 are satisfied.  Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree
that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral
Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to
a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their
respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any
such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.
                      9.7     
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
                     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Company, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

	  
 	             (i)     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under subsections 2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such
judicial proceeding, and
  
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	             (ii)    to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
 

 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under subsections 2.3 and 10.2.

	  
 	  88
 	  Credit Agreement
 

                      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit.
                     A.        General.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to
the further provisions of this subsection 10.1).  Neither Company’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by Company without such consent shall be null and void).  No sale, assignment or transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or
participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
                      B.
        Assignments.

	  
 	               (i)     Amounts and Terms of Assignments.  Any
Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (a), except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or (2) in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender
and the assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $2,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company otherwise consents, each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) 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, (c) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the
assignor, in which case no fee shall be required), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, including such forms,
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 89
 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	  certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be
required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii) and (d), except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender,  Administrative Agent and, if no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Upon such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment
Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of
this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit such
Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder).  The
assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or
the assigning Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding
Revolving Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.  Other than as provided in subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.1B 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 subsection 10.1C.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	              (ii)    Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in
Register.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any
forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii), Administrative Agent shall, if
Administrative Agent and Company have consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof
as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Company.

 	  Credit Agreement
 
				

	  
 	 Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	       (iii)     Deemed Consent by Company.  If the consent of Company to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is
required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in subsection 10.1B(i)), Company shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has
been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Company prior to such fifth Business Day.
 

                    C.     Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to,
Company or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person or Company or any of its Affiliates) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; 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) Company, Administrative Agent and
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement 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 directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of  any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a
reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation.  Subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
subsection 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a Lender.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Company’s prior written consent.  A Participant that
would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 unless Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with
subsection 2.7B(iii) as though it were a Lender.
                    D.     Pledges and Assignments.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment or pledge and 

	  
 	  91
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  (ii) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action
hereunder.
                      E.       Information.  Each Lender may furnish any
information concerning Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.
                      F.       Agreements of Lenders.  Each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof hereby agrees (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of loans such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make its Loans
for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the
provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).  Each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to
agree that the agreements of such Lender contained in Section 2(c) of such Assignment Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
                     
10.2     Expenses.
                      Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to pay promptly
(i) all reasonable costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (ii) all costs and expenses of furnishing all opinions by counsel

Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created pursuant thereto; (v) all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (vi) all
other costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments; (vii) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and fees, costs

any of the Collateral; and (viii) all costs

  and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel),  fees, costs and expenses of accountants, advisors and consultants
and costs of settlement, incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (including in connection with the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Loan Documents) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a
“work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.
                      

10.3     Indemnity.
                      In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Administrative Agent and Lenders (including Issuing Lender), and the officers, directors,
employees, agents and Affiliates of Administrative Agent and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Company shall not have
any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.
                                As used herein, “Indemnified
Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs (including the costs of any
investigation, study, sampling, testing, abatement, cleanup, removal, remediation or other response action necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Hazardous Materials Activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be
designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or
regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such
Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of
the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the
Subsidiary Guaranty)), (ii) the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect thereto, or (iii) any Environmental Claim or

	  
 	 93
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
                      To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify,
pay and hold harmless set forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.
                      
10.4     Set-Off.
                      In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any
other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the credit or the account of Company and each other Loan Party against and on account of the Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party to that
Lender (or any Affiliate of that Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or
description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or
the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be
contingent or unmatured.  
                    
10.5      Ratable Sharing.
                      Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than
a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement
of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts
payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the
proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of
such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such
payment)

	  
 	  94
 	  Credit Agreement
 

 of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due
to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be
rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment.  In order to further
evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a
purchasing Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.
                      
10.6      Amendments and Waivers.
                      No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes, and
no consent to any departure by Company therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders; provided that no such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent
of (a) each Lender, (1) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, (2) increase the maximum aggregate amount of Letters of Credit, (3) postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not prepayment) of principal of any Loan,
(4) postpone the date on which any interest or any fees are payable, (5) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or the
amount of any fees payable hereunder, (6) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of any amount payable in respect of any Letter of Credit, (7) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date or (8) change in any manner the obligations of Revolving Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit; (b) each Lender, (1) change in any manner the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or the definition of
“Requisite Lenders” or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (except for any changes resulting solely from an increase in Commitments approved by Requisite Lenders), (2) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that,
by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (3) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, (4) release any Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to all or
substantially all of the Collateral or more in aggregate fair market value of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case other than in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (5) change in any manner or waive the provisions contained in subsection 8.1 or this subsection 10.6.  In addition, (i) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any of the provisions
contained in Section 4 shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be
effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note, (iii)  no amendment,

	  
 	 95
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 3 shall be effective without the written concurrence of  Administrative Agent and, with respect to the
purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written concurrence of Issuing Lender that has issued an outstanding Letter of Credit or has not been reimbursed for a payment under a Letter of Credit, (iv) no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written
concurrence of Administrative Agent, and (v) no Commitment of a Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender.  Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall
entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the
time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.
                     

10.7     Independence of Covenants.
                      All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is
not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if
such action is taken or condition exists.
                      
10.8      Notices; Effectiveness of Signatures.
                      Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or
permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of
telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender shall not be
effective until received.  For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other address as
shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent. 

                     Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or
signed by telefacsimile.  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on all Loan Parties,
Administrative Agent and Lenders.  Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy

	  
 	  96
 	  Credit Agreement
 

  thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile document or
signature.
                      
10.9     Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
                      A.      All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.
                     B.       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied
by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.17 and 10.18 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5 and 10.18 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the
cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.
                      
10.10    Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
                      No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right
or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.
                      
10.11    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.
                     Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor
of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or
Administrative Agent or any Lender enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
                      
10.12    Severability.
                      In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

	  
 	 97
 	  Credit Agreement
 

                      
10.13       Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights; Damage Waiver.
                      The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or
Commitments of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Company, as a partnership, an
association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this
Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
  To the extent permitted by law, Company shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, subsection 2.1C hereof), any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.
                     
10.14    Release of Security Interest or Guaranty.
                      Upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral that is permitted by this Agreement or to
which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, or the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders
have otherwise consented, for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a security interest release or a release of the Subsidiary Guaranty from Administrative Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that the
Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (ii) specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed
transaction.  Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Administrative Agent shall, at such Loan Party’s expense, so long as Administrative Agent has no reason to believe that the facts stated in such Officer’s Certificate
are not true and correct, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.
                      10.15.   Applicable Law
                      THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (INCLUDING SECTION 1646.5 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF
ANOTHER LAW.

10.16    Construction of Agreement; Nature of Relationship.
                      Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) it has been represented by counsel in the negotiation and
documentation of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) it has had full and fair opportunity to review and revise the terms of this Agreement, (iii) this Agreement has been drafted jointly by all of the parties hereto, and (iv) neither Administrative
Agent nor any Lender or other Agent has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Company arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one
hand, and Company, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.  Accordingly, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed against or
in favor of another party.
                      
10.17    Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.
                     ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY AND CITY OF LOS ANGELES.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY, FOR

 	       (V)     AGREES THAT LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO
BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST COMPANY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND

                      EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING

JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION 10.18 AND
EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE
LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

than as a result of a breach of this subsection 10.19 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Company or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its
