Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
SECTION 8. Governing Law.  This Amendment and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 9. Jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Amendment or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
SECTION 10. Waiver of Venue.  Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9 above.

SECTION 12. Waiver of Jury Trial.

4

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.
SECTION 13. Severability.  Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 14. Reaffirmation.  Each Loan Party (a) consents to the amendments of the Term Loan Agreement as set forth herein; (b) acknowledges, ratifies and reaffirms its obligations and other Indebtedness owing to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document to which it is a party, including the Guaranty of the Term Loans by each Guarantor; (c) agrees that each of the provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (as amended by this Amendment), and each right and remedy of the Secured Parties thereunder, is and shall remain in full force and effect; and (d) reaffirms, acknowledges, agrees and confirms that it has granted to the Agent a validly created, enforceable and, to the extent required by the Loan Documents, perfected security interest in the Collateral in which it has an interest in order to secure all of its present and future Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and acknowledges and agrees that such security interest, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for the Obligations and for such Indebtedness, continue to be and remain in full force and effect on and after the date hereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the undersigned hereby ratifies and reaffirms each and every provision set forth in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party effective as of the date hereof.  Subject to the terms of the Amended Term Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, all Indebtedness of any of the undersigned that is evidenced by any of the Loan Documents are unconditionally owing by such Person to the Secured Parties, without offset, defense, withholding, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, except to the extent provided to the contrary in the Loan Documents.  

SECTION 15. Release.  In consideration of this Amendment and agreements of the Agent and Lenders contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Loan Party (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), each on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges the Agent, the Lenders and their respective present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives (the Agent, each Lender, and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as 
5

the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which any Loan Party or any of  their respective successors, assigns or other legal representatives may now own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this Amendment, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with the Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder on or prior to the day and date of this Amendment (any of the foregoing, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”). Each of the Releasees expressly acknowledges and agrees, with respect to the Claims, that it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or any principle of U.S. common law, that would otherwise limit a release or discharge of any unknown Claims pursuant to this Section 15.  Furthermore, each of the Releasing Parties hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released and/or discharged by the Releasing Parties pursuant to this Section 15.  The foregoing release, covenant and waivers of this Section 15 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment or prepayment of any of the Loans, or the termination of the Term Loan Agreement, this Amendment, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.  Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that its release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.  Each Loan Party agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above.

SECTION 16. Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 2.3 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Lenders (i) on the Closing Date a Note or Notes evidencing the Closing Date Term Loans in the aggregate stated principal amount of up to One Hundred Million and No/Dollars ($100,000,000), and (ii) on the Early Delayed Draw Funding Date, additional Notes evidencing the Early Delayed Draw Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) and (iii) on the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Loans are funded, additional Notes evidencing the Delayed Draw Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000).

37

shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern absent manifest error.
Section 2.4 Interest.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made to repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) an Event of Default  or (ii) a Default and following written notice from the Agent, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations then owing under the Loan Documents shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand, at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable for the Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.4(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.
(c) All interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Loans bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBOR Rate, on the basis of a 360-day year or (ii) in the case of Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, in each case, on a day-to-day basis for the actual number of days elapsed.
(d) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on and to (i) each Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, whether by acceleration or on the Scheduled Maturity Date.
Section 2.5 Repayment of Loans.  On the Scheduled Maturity Date with respect to any Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay in full all outstanding Obligations, including the Exit Fee, in respect of such Term Loans. On any Maturity Date occurring prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay in full all outstanding Obligations, which shall include the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and the Exit Fee.
Section 2.6 Optional Prepayment.  
(a) The Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part (and solely in minimum principal increments of $5,000,000 or all the remaining amounts outstanding hereunder), on any Business Day upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Borrower to the Agent, together with the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, the Exit Fee and other unpaid amounts then due and owing pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Upon any prepayment in full of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) or any prepayment in part to the extent the principal amount of the Loans remaining outstanding after such prepayment is $25,000,000 or 
38

less, any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments then in effect shall automatically terminate and the Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Premium with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments.    
(b) The Borrower may not terminate the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments in whole or in part except upon the repayment in full in cash of all outstanding Loans hereunder, in which event the Borrower agrees to pay the Prepayment Premium with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments so terminated.  [Reserved].  
(c) All prepayments under this Section 2.6 shall be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.14.
Section 2.7 Mandatory Prepayments.  
(a) Change of Control.  Immediately upon a Change of Control, the Borrower shall prepay all of the outstanding Loans and all other Obligations in full plus the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and the Exit Fee.
(b) Dispositions.  The Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment by the Loan Parties from time to time in an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Amount of the Net Cash Proceeds (other than Excluded IPO Proceeds) received by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of any:
(i) Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale permitted pursuant to Sections 6.7(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (ek)); or
(ii) Involuntary Disposition;   
and, in each case plus the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and the Exit Fee. 
Each such mandatory prepayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall be made within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary; provided, however, that if the Loan Party or its Subsidiary receives Net Cash Proceeds as a result of any such Asset Sale or Involuntary Disposition (other than resulting from the disposition of Specified Assets) in an aggregate amount less than $5,000,000 for all such Asset Sales or Involuntary Dispositions after the Closing Date, then the Loan Party or its Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the purchase price of replacement property or assets or other property or assets used by such Loan Party or its Subsidiary within one hundred and eighty (180) days (or such later date as set forth below) after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in lieu of making such mandatory prepayment; provided that to the extent any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so applied and the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries have not entered into any commitment within such 180 day period to so purchase such property or assets, then the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not so expended or committed shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) no later than the end of such one hundred and eighty (180) day period; provided further that to the extent any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is committed to purchase such property or assets within such 180 day period, 
39

but such purchase is not consummated within 270 days of the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, then the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not so expended shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) no later than the end of such 270 day period.
(c) Debt Issuances.  Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of proceeds from any issuance, incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1, on or after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and other Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the cash proceeds received, plus the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and the Exit Fee.
(d) General.  All prepayments under this Section 2.7 shall be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.14.  Borrower shall provide Agent written notice not later than three (3) Business Days prior to any prepayment under this Section 2.7; provided, that failure by Borrower to deliver such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to make any such prepayment.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, any Lender may elect, by written notice to the Agent no later than 12:00 pm New York City Time, one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date (or such later time as the Agent may agree), to decline all or any portion of any mandatory prepayment of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7.  Any Lender that fails to deliver such notice to the Agent in the time frame set forth above shall be deemed to have accepted its share of any mandatory prepayment.  The aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Borrower and used for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. 
(e) Any prepayments required pursuant to this Section 2.7 are in addition to any Default or Event of Default rights or remedies the Secured Parties may have.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any mandatory prepayments would otherwise be required to be made pursuant to Section 2.7(b) out of the Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale or Involuntary Disposition attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower, such prepayments shall not be required to be made to the extent that the Borrower determines in good faith that such prepayment would (x) result in material adverse tax consequences or (y) be prohibited or restricted under (i) local law (e.g., financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Subsidiaries) and (ii) material constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership) and other material agreements of such Foreign Subsidiaries not entered into in contemplation of or in order to evade the restrictions in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a result of this Section 2.7(f) will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  The Borrower shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions (other than restrictions pursuant to local law) to make the relevant prepayment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments required after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, fees, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower or any 
40

of its Affiliates or any of their equity owners and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make directly or indirectly, a dividend or distribution to their Affiliates in an amount sufficient to cover such tax liability.
Section 2.8 General Provisions Regarding Payments.  
(a) All payments by any Loan Party of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars and in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due to the Agent’s Account; funds received by the Agent after that time on such due date may, at Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed to have been paid by such Loan Party on such due date or the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, 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 under this Agreement.
(c) The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing to the Agent from time to time, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder and all other Obligations.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, all payments or proceeds received by the Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations (except as expressly provided elsewhere in a Loan Document), shall be forwarded to the Agent and applied in full or in part by the Agent against the Obligations in the following order of priority:  first, (i) to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of any sale, collection or other realization, and all amounts for which the Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by the Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party, (ii) to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Loan Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, and (iii) to the payment of any fees or other amounts then-owing to the Agent (in its capacity as such and not as a Lender) hereunder or under any other Loan Document; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of the applicable Loan Party or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
41

Section 2.9 Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off, appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 2.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff, appropriation and application.
Section 2.10 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loan and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent in writing of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loan to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Section 2.11 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any 
42

applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Agent or any Loan Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or any Loan Party, then the Agent or relevant Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) the Agent or applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.11(a), each relevant Loan Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) payable or paid by the Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such 
43

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders.  
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” 
44

article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 
45

Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document, and the termination of this Agreement.
(i) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.11, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
Section 2.12 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);
46

(ii) subject the Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan maintained by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company or the Agent, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of the Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that the Agent or such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
47

Section 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender (x) fails to agree to any amendment, consent or waiver requested by the Borrower or (y) requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 and, in each case under this clause (y), such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.13(a), then the Borrower may, at such Lender’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.4 other than the Agent’s or any Lender’s consent), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee and shall have provided all of the documentation and information in accordance with Section 10.4;
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to (A) the outstanding principal of its Loans, (B) accrued interest thereon, (C) if such Lender is being replaced pursuant to clause (x) of Section 2.13(b) above, the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments that would have been payable to such Lender in connection with a voluntary prepayment of such Lender’s Loans and, in the case of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, assuming that such Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments were funded in full and immediately prepaid in full on the date of determination, (D) accrued fees and (E) all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
48

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments.  If (i) any payment of principal of any Loan is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan, as a result of (w) a prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.6 or 2.7(a), (b), (c) or (d), (x) an assignment required by Section 2.13(b), (y) Section 2.15 or (z) acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.1; or (ii) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any Loan on the date such payment is due and payable, then the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional actual and documented losses, or reasonable costs or expenses which it actually incurs as a result of any such payment, including any cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to maintain such Loan. 
Section 2.15 Maintaining Loans Bearing Interest at the LIBOR Rate.  
(a) Market Disruption Affecting LIBOR Rate. If on any date:
(i) the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reasons of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate for Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate; or
(ii) the Agent is advised by the Lenders holding at least 51% of the Loans outstanding that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining their Loans at the LIBOR Rate (provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply so long as the Lenders and their Affiliates are the sole Lenders);
then, the Agent shall on such date give notice (by electronic communication) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination or notification, whereupon (x) no Loans shall be maintained at the LIBOR Rate; and (y) the interest rate applicable to such Loans shall be determined by substituting the Alternate Base Rate (which shall be determined without reference to any portion thereof that is calculated based on the LIBOR Rate) for the LIBOR Rate until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist.
49

(b) Illegality of Loans Bearing Interest at the LIBOR Rate.  In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Agent) that the maintaining or continuation of all or any of its Loans 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), then such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by electronic communication) to the Borrower and the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Thereafter the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate (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 the interest rate applicable to such Affected Loans shall be determined by substituting the Alternate Base Rate (which shall be determined without reference to any portion thereof that is calculated based on the LIBOR Rate) for the LIBOR Rate, provided that the Affected Lender shall make commercially reasonable efforts to assign the Affected Loans according to Section 10.4. 
(c) LIBOR Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR screen rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR screen rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR screen rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any then prevailing convention for similar credit facilities in the United States for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans 
50

accruing interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended and (y) following the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to any Loans outstanding at such time accruing interest at the LIBOR Rate, the interest rate applicable to such Loans shall be determined by substituting the Alternate Base Rate (which shall be determined without reference to any portion thereof that is calculated based on the LIBOR Rate) for the LIBOR Rate.
Section 2.16 Agency and Administration Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. the fees and expenses in accordance with the applicable Fee Letter.
Section 2.17. Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee; Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Obligations are accelerated in accordance herewith for any reason or otherwise become due in accordance herewith prior to their original maturity date, including pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.7 or Article VII, and including because of default, sale or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise and including as a result of the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee shall also automatically be due and payable as though such Indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits, losses and other damages as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium or Exit Fee payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, acceleration or prepayment and each Loan Party agrees that such Prepayment Premium or Exit Fee is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR EXIT FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION, IN EACH CASE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT SUCH WAIVER IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. The Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee are each reasonable and each is the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee, including the entry into Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 and the agreement by the Lenders therein to fund the Early Delayed Draw Term Loans, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.17, (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Premium and Exit Fee represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits, losses or other damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of 
51

such event. 
Section 2.18 Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including (x) the Closing Date to (y) the earlier of (i) the Delayed Draw Funding Date or (ii) the Delayed Draw Termination Date, in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum on the average daily amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2018.
Section 2.19 Exit Fee.  Upon any payment or prepayment of all or a portion of the Term Loans hereunder, whether voluntary or involuntary, prior to, on or after the Maturity Date or following the acceleration of the Obligations hereunder, including as a result of the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Borrower shall pay to each of the Lenders for its own account a fee (the “Exit Fee”) equal to 1.25% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans so paid or prepaid.  Such Exit Fee shall be earned, due and payable immediately upon any such payment or prepayment, and shall be in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest, reimbursement obligations, Prepayment Premium or other amounts payable in connection therewith.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  
(a) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 and Section 7.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default and conspicuously identified as a “notice of default” is given to the Agent in writing by any Loan Party or a Lender.
(c) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
Section 8.4 Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of 
90

such Loan.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 8.5 Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the activities as Agent.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.6 Resignation of Agent.
(a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be (i) a Lender holding at least 30% outstanding principal amount of the Loans or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) any other financial institution consented to by the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 
(b) If the Person serving as Agent has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or (ii) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
91

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity or expense reimbursement payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity and expense reimbursement payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent after the date such successor becomes Agent shall be the same as those that would have been payable to its predecessor after such date unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.
Section 8.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.8 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the 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 the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and 
92

counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 10.3.
Section 8.9 Collateral and Guarantee Matters.  (a)  The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) subject to Section 10.2, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and
(ii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.
Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 8.9, and if so requested, the Agent shall have no liability for failure to release or subordinate any such interest or for failure to release any Guarantor until it shall have received confirmation from the Required Lenders.
(b) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

ARTICLE IX 
GUARANTY
Section 9.1 The Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on the extension of credit made to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iii) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Borrower and the Guarantors of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Upon failure by the Borrower or any Guarantor to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, such that an Event of Default occurs and continues, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified herein or in the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be.  All payments required to be made by each Guarantor hereunder shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.8.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that the guaranty hereunder is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.
Section 9.2 Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;
(c) any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
94

(d) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Guaranty, nothing in this Guaranty shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(e) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the lack of genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason, related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(f) the failure of the Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any; 
(g) the disallowance, under any Debtor Relief Laws, of all or any portion of the claims of the Secured Parties or the Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(h) the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Agreement or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof;
(i) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(j) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, such Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.2, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
Section 9.3 Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full.  Subject to any prior release herefrom of any Guarantor by the Agent in accordance with (and pursuant to authority granted to the Agent under) the terms of this Agreement, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have terminated and all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Loans issued 
95

under this Agreement shall have terminated or expired, and all other financing arrangements among the Borrower or any Guarantor and the Secured Parties under or in connection with this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall have terminated (herein, the “Termination Conditions”), and until the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions all of the rights and remedies under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall survive.
Section 9.4 Additional Waivers; General Waivers.
(a) Additional Waivers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:
(i) any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;
(ii) (A) notice of acceptance hereof; (B) notice of any other financial accommodations made or maintained under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (C) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Agent and the Secured Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (D) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (E) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (F) notice of any Event of Default; and (G) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor under this Guaranty or under the other Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;
(iii) its right, if any, to require the Agent and the Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Agent and the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any third party, or against any collateral provided by such other guarantors or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in respect thereof;
(iv) (A) any rights to assert against the Agent and the Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any third party liable to the Agent and the Secured Parties; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by 
96

reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Agent and the Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Agent and the Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Agent and the Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and
(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (b) any election by the Agent and the other Secured Parties under any provision of any Debtor Relief Law to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.
(b) General Waivers.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, in any Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument executed in connection herewith or therewith.
Section 9.5 Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party at any time while this Guaranty is in effect, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent.
Section 9.6 Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, each of the Guarantors agrees that (a) if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid under any Debtor Relief Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, its guarantee hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, shall be reinstated in full force and effect, as the case may be; and (b) the provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
Section 9.7 Subrogation.  Until the prior and complete satisfaction of all Termination Conditions, each Guarantor, (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Secured Parties or the Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and each Guarantor waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral that may from time to time be given to the Secured Parties and the Agent to secure the payment or 
97

performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Secured Parties.  Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights prior to complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set-off that such Guarantor may have to prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until all Termination Conditions are satisfied in full.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Agent and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 9.7.
Section 9.8 Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  Each Guarantor agrees that all Intercompany Indebtedness held by such Guarantor and owed by a Loan Party shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations and the satisfaction of all other Termination Conditions; provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may make loans to and receive payments not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to such Intercompany Indebtedness from the related obligor.  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by such Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness in contravention of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, an event described in Section 7.1(g), Section 7.1(h) or Section 7.1(i), prior to the satisfaction of all of the Termination Conditions, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Guarantor as the property of the Secured Parties.  If any Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Agent, the Agent or any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same.  
Section 9.9 Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.
(a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, 
98

then, following the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this Agreement without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under any Debtor Relief Law or other applicable law.
(c) This Section 9.9 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 9.9 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(e) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 9.9 shall be exercisable upon the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions.

(a) No failure or delay by the Agent, or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and the Required Lenders (with a 
100

copy thereof to the Agent) or by the Borrower or such applicable Loan Party, and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of any Lender or otherwise modify the conditions to the funding of the Delayed Draw Term Loans without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby[reserved], (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or extend the Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.8(c) or Section 2.10 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(a) Costs and Expenses.  The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agent and if necessary, a single local counsel for the Agent in each relevant material jurisdiction)  in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement, exercise or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.3(a), or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except to the extent set forth below) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions 
101

contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party (except to the extent set forth below), and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (x) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) in connection with any dispute between or among any one or more of the Agent and/or any Lender(s).  This Section 10.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that any Loan Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Agent (or any such sub-agent), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party of the Agent (or such sub-agent), as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding at such time, or if all Loans have been repaid, based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans as of the last day on which any portion of the Loans remained outstanding) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties pursuant to clause (b) above.  No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  
(e) Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.
102

Section 10.4 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loan at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Assignees that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.4 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to an Approved Assignee, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.4, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is accepted and recorded by the Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned.
103

(iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.4 and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to an Approved Assignee; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loans to a Person who is not an Approved Assignee.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (to be paid by the assignor and assignee); provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any other Know-Your-Customer or other documentation or information reasonably requested by the Agent, including, without limitation, any such documentation or information required under the USA PATRIOT Act or anti-money laundering rules and regulations.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10 and Section 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for 
104

purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4.
(c) Register.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
(d) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the 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.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the amendments or modifications requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders described in Section 10.2(b) that directly affect such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12, Section 2.14 and Section 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4; and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, 
105

acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.5 Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Commitment is outstanding or the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid.  The provisions of Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.14, Section 10.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  Except as expressly set forth in this Section 10.5, this Agreement shall terminate when the Commitments have terminated and the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, including the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, and the Exit Fee but excluding contingent indemnification obligations (other than those with respect to which the Agent or any Lender has then given notice to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Conditions have been completely satisfied and the other Loan Documents and the Collateral Documents, shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with their respective terms.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof, Section 10.2, Sections 10.4(a), (b), (c) and (d), and Section 10.6(b) shall survive and remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated and all Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.
106

Section 10.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Fee Letters, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.7 Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a) Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
(b) Jurisdiction.  Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and each of the parties 
107

hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Venue.  Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.8.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service of Process.  Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.  
Section 10.9 Waiver of Jury Trial.  
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9.
Section 10.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
(a) The Agent and each of the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.10); (ii) to the extent required or requested by, or as part of normal reporting or review procedures to or examinations by, any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, 
108

such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate thereof are listed or traded; (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, including reporting requirements applicable to the disclosing party or its Affiliates; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.10, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the Loan Parties or the Loans or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans; (viii) with the written consent of the Borrower; (ix) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, or (x) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.10, or (B) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties so long as the Agent or such Lender does not have any notice that the disclosure thereof is a breach of a confidentiality agreement.
(b) For purposes of this Section 10.10, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or the Scilex Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.10 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(c) The Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders agree not to publish any press release with respect to the Loan or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of each other party to this Agreement.
Section 10.11 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such 
109

Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.11 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 10.12 USA PATRIOT Act.  The Agent and each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Agent and each such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
Section 10.13 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Solely to the extent an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties hereto, each such party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:  
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Exhibit 4.2

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The summary of the general terms and provisions of the capital stock of IKONICS Corporation (the “Company”) set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”) and Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws,” and together with the Articles, the “Charter Documents”), each of which is incorporated herein by reference and attached as an exhibit to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additional information, please read the Company’s Charter Documents and the applicable provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”).

 

Capital Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares, consisting of 4,750,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 250,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.10 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be allotted as and when the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall determine, and, under and pursuant to the laws of the State of Minnesota, the Board has the power to fix or alter, from time to time, in respect to shares then unallotted, any or all of the following: the dividend rate; the redemption price; the liquidation price; the conversion rights and the sinking or purchase fund rights of shares of any class, or of any series of any class.

 

Voting Rights

 

Each shareholder of record shares of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. The Articles do not permit cumulative voting in the election of directors or for any purpose whatsoever. Significant corporate transactions, such as amendments to the Articles, mergers, sales of assets and dissolution or liquidation, require approval by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding Common Stock. Other matters to be voted upon by the holders of Common Stock normally require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the particular shareholders meeting.

 

Dividends and Other Distributions

 

Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends in the form of cash, property or shares of capital stock of the Company, when and as declared by the Board, provided there are sufficient earnings or surplus legally available for that purpose. All of the issued and outstanding Common Stock are nonassessable.

 

Liquidation Rights 

 

Upon any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of shares of Common Stock share ratably, in proportion to the number of shares held, in the assets available for distribution after payment of all prior claims, including all prior claims of any Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

No Preemptive Rights

 

Shareholders of the Company shall have no preemptive rights to acquire securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company.

 

 

 

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The Charter Documents and the MBCA contain certain provisions that may discourage an unsolicited takeover of the Company or make an unsolicited takeover of the Company more difficult. The following are some of the more significant anti-takeover provisions that are applicable to the Company:

 

Special Meetings of Shareholders; Shareholder Action by Unanimous Written Consent; and Advance Notice of Shareholder Business Proposals and Nominations

 

The By-Laws provide that special meetings of the shareholders shall be called by the Secretary at any time upon request of the Chairman, President, a Vice President, a majority of the Board of Directors, or upon request by shareholders holding ten percent (10%) or more of the capital stock entitled to vote. Section 302A.441 of the MBCA also provides that action may be taken by shareholders without a meeting only by unanimous written consent. The By-Laws provide an advance written notice procedure with respect to shareholder proposals of business. Shareholders at an annual meeting are able to consider only the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a shareholder that has delivered timely written notice in proper form to the Company’s Secretary of the business to be brought before the meeting.

 

Control Share Provision

 

Section 302A.671 of the MBCA applies, with certain exceptions, to any acquisition of the Company’s voting stock (from a person other than the Company and other than in connection with certain mergers and exchanges to which the Company is a party) resulting in the acquiring person owning 20% or more of its voting stock then outstanding. Section 302A.671 requires approval of any such acquisitions by a majority vote of the Company’s shareholders prior to consummation. In general, shares acquired in the absence of such approval are denied voting rights and are redeemable at their then fair market value by the Company within thirty days after the acquiring person has failed to give a timely information statement to the Company or the date the shareholders voted not to grant voting rights to the acquiring person’s shares.

 

Business Combination Provision

 

Section 302A.673 of the MBCA generally prohibits the Company or any of its subsidiaries from entering into any transaction with a shareholder under which the shareholder purchases 10% or more of the Company’s voting shares (an “interested shareholder”) within four years following the date the person became an interested shareholder, unless the transaction is approved by a committee of all of the disinterested members of the Board serving before the interested shareholder acquires the shares.

 

Takeover Offer; Fair Price 

 

Under Section 302A.675 of the MBCA, an offeror may not acquire shares of a publicly held corporation within two years following the last purchase of shares pursuant to a takeover offer with respect to that class, including acquisitions made by purchase, exchange, merger, consolidation, partial or complete liquidation, redemption, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, or any other similar transaction, unless (i) the acquisition is approved by a committee of the Board’s disinterested directors before the purchase of any shares by the offeror pursuant to the earlier takeover offer, or (ii) shareholders are afforded, at the time of the proposed acquisition, a reasonable opportunity to dispose of the shares to the offeror upon substantially equivalent terms as those provided in the earlier takeover offer.

 

Greenmail Restrictions 

 

Under Section 302A.553 of the MBCA, a corporation is prohibited from buying shares at an above-market price from a greater than 5% shareholder who has held the shares for less than two years unless (i) the purchase is approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote or (ii) the corporation makes an equal or better offer to all shareholders for all other shares of that class or series and any other class or series into which they may be converted.
