Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan

 Exhibit 10.60 
 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
 Purpose

 The Realogy Executive Annual Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to reward eligible Executives for their contributions to
the financial success of Realogy (“Realogy” or the “Company”) and its Business Units. 
 Plan Year 

The Plan applies to the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (the “Plan Year”). 
 Eligibility 
 To be eligible to
participate in the Plan, an Executive must meet the following criteria: 
  

	 	•	 	 Be a full-time Executive of Realogy or one of its Business Units meeting the position eligibility requirements set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Be hired on or before October 1, 2010. Participants hired on or between January 1, 2010 and October 1, 2010 will be eligible for a
pro-rated bonus as determined by their eligible earnings during the Plan Year. 

 Executives who are otherwise
eligible to receive a bonus pursuant to a separate Company or Business Unit bonus plan, including, but not limited to a branch manager incentive plan, override plan, or a management incentive bonus plan or any other commission-based incentive plan,
are ineligible for participation in the Plan unless an exception is approved in writing (including email) by the Realogy Annual Bonus Plan Administrator. 
 An Executive who is eligible to participate in the Plan must meet the following criteria to be eligible for a bonus payment: 
  

	 	•	 	 Actively employed by Realogy at the time of the bonus payment or on an approved Leave of Absence (LOA) that is covered under the Family Medical Leave
Act (FMLA), unless otherwise required by law (see Disability/LOA section for more information). 

  

	 	•	 	 Successfully complete all 2010 mandatory training within the specified time periods as determined by Executive Leadership.

  

	 	•	 	 Receives a “Meets Expectations” or “Exceeds Expectations” 2010 performance rating on his/her annual performance evaluation. Any
Plan participant with a “Below Expectations” rating shall have no right to receive a payment under this Plan and any payment that may be awarded will be at the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator (or the Compensation Committee in the
case of an Executive Officer) and may not exceed 50% of the Plan participant’s actual funding. 

 Bonus Payments

 Annual Bonus payments will not be made until the audit of the financial results is complete and approved. This audit is typically
completed by the end of the first quarter of the following calendar year. 
  

	 	•	 	 Bonus payments will be made using the same method of payment as the bi-weekly paychecks. If a participant receives a paper paycheck, the bonus payment
will be paid as a paper check. If the participant utilizes direct deposit, the bonus payment will be electronically deposited.

 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
  

	 	•	 	 Bonus payments are subject to federal income tax withholding at a flat rate as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Applicable FICA, state and
local taxes will also be deducted as applicable. 

  

	 	•	 	 Bonus payments are not subject to deductions for 401(k) contributions or any other voluntary benefit deductions. 

  

	 	•	 	 Bonus payments are not based on the participant’s base rate of pay, but solely on actual eligible earnings. Eligible earnings include the pay a
participant received during the Plan Year including regular base pay, holiday, vacation, personal, military pay and sick time. 

  

	 	•	 	 Eligible earnings do NOT include overtime, premium pay, incentive pay, merit lump sum payments, special bonus payments, severance pay, short-term
disability, workers’ compensation, shift differential pay or any other discretionary compensation paid to the Executive during the Plan Year. Leaves of absence, disability leave and other breaks in service will affect a participant’s bonus
payout amount (see Disability/LOA section for more information). 

 Target Bonus Percentage 
 Each Plan participant has a Target Bonus Percentage which is primarily based on his/her position. The Target Bonus Percentage refers to a percentage of each
Plan participant’s eligible earnings that will determine the target funding pool assuming the targeted financial performance level is achieved. The total of all Plan participants’ target funding is referred to as the Target Bonus Funding
Pool. Any increase in the Target Bonus Funding Pool following its adoption that results in such Pool exceeding 110% of the amount initially approved by the Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of Domus Holdings Corp., the
parent company of Realogy, shall require the approval of the Compensation Committee. 
 Actual Bonus Funding Pool 
 The Compensation Committee shall establish bonus plan EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) performance levels (in each
case excluding legacy, retention, and restructuring costs, as well as any other items considered by the Compensation Committee in their sole discretion but after reflecting bonus accrual under the Plan) for consolidated Realogy results and for each
Business Unit and the corresponding payout targets applicable to achievement of such performance objectives. The specific term, bonus plan EBITDA and the formula thereof shall be provided by the Compensation Committee and shall not be controlled by
calculations used for other financial purposes. The Actual Bonus Funding Pool sums will be set in accordance with the achievement of predefined financial performance levels subject to adjustments described below. The Actual Bonus Funding Pool will
be approved by the Compensation Committee following the end of the Plan Year based upon the extent to which the actual Realogy bonus plan EBITDA and Business Unit bonus plan EBITDA have been achieved. 
  

	 	•	 	 In order for any eligible Plan participant, whether working in a Business Unit or Realogy Corporate Services, to be eligible to receive a bonus payment
under the Plan, the 2010 entry-point for Realogy bonus plan EBITDA must have been achieved. 

  

 2 

 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
  

	 	•	 	 In the event an equity cure is provided by Realogy’s financial sponsor during 2010, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce the
Realogy CEO’s and the CEO’s direct reports’ Actual Bonus Funding Pool. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion (but not the obligation) to alter bonus plan EBITDA targets or add additional performance targets
to the Plan when, in its sole and exclusive judgment, such adjustments are necessary or prudent to assure the company avoids any risks or issues related to: (a) current or future compliance with the Company’s credit agreement or
indentures, (b) changing market conditions including material changes in the housing forecasts provided by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Fannie Mae, or other recognized industry indices, (c) adequacy of Company liquidity, or
(d) other material developments. Further, the Compensation Committee shall have the sole discretion (but not the obligation) to disregard—for bonus plan EBITDA calculation purposes hereunder— any EBITDA related to equity contributions
or cures, unusual or non-recurring revenue or expense and/or unbudgeted savings, or EBITDA associated with mergers or acquisitions that are not in the approved budget. In addition, the Compensation Committee shall have the sole discretion (but not
the obligation) to make other adjustments to the Plan it deems appropriate to reflect benefits conferred on the Company and its employees associated with the restructuring of Company debt or equity. 

  

	 	•	 	 The distribution of the Actual Bonus Funding Pool may vary based upon individual performance-based adjustments. 

 Bonus funding between the bonus plan EBITDA performance levels will be based on linear interpolation. Linear interpolation means that increases in bonus
plan EBITDA between performance levels will result in similar incremental increases in bonus funding. 
 Distribution of the Bonus Funding
Pool 
 Once the actual Bonus Funding Pool is determined based on bonus plan EBITDA performance, the process to distribute payments to
the Plan participants is based on both bonus plan EBITDA results and individual performance (in the case of the Realogy CEO and the CEO’s direct reports, 100% of the bonus distribution will be based on EBITDA performance). The entire Actual
Bonus Funding Pool earned will be distributed to the Plan participants as described below: 
  

	 	•	 	 75 percent of the Actual Bonus Funding Pool will be determined based on the bonus plan EBITDA results according to the formula below:

 Bonus Plan EBITDA payout level achieved x Target Bonus % x Eligible Earnings x 75% 
  

	 	•	 	 The remaining 25 percent of the Actual Bonus Funding Pool will be allocated based on individual performance. This component is discretionary and the
actual allocation, if any, will vary according to each Plan participant’s individual performance during the Plan Year. The individual performance funding will be determined according to the formula below: 

 Bonus Plan EBITDA payout level achieved x Target Bonus % x Eligible Earnings x 25%

 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
  

	 	•	 	 Below are guidelines that will be used to allocate the individual performance funding based on the 2010 performance rating. The actual
performance-based allocation, if any, will be based on the total funding pool and the performance rating distribution for the Plan participants. 

  

			
	 Performance Rating
	    	 Payment as a % of Individual Performance Funding Pool

	Exceeds Expectations	    	100% – 120% of target funding
	Meets Expectations	    	75% to 100% of target funding
	Below Expectations	    	Not Eligible

 Status Changes 
 New Hires 
  

	 	•	 	 See Eligibility Section. 

 Job Changes (Promotions, Transfers, Demotions, etc.) 
  

	 	•	 	 Job changes include moves from: 

  

	 	•	 	 One Business Unit to another Business Unit ; or 

  

	 	•	 	 Realogy Corporate to a Business Unit or vice versa; or 

  

	 	•	 	 A bonus-eligible position to a non-bonus-eligible position or vice versa; or 

  

	 	•	 	 A bonus-eligible position to another bonus-eligible position with a higher or lower bonus target 

  

	 	•	 	 If a participant is transferred from one entity to another, or is transferred from one bonus-eligible position to another bonus-eligible position with
a higher or lower bonus target, the bonus payment shall be pro-rated based on the eligible earnings and bonus “earned” while in each bonus-eligible position. 

  

	 	•	 	 When moving from one entity to another, the overall bonus calculation will be determined based on the eligible earnings, bonus target, and the
entity’s performance in accordance with the time worked in each bonus eligible position. 

  

	 	•	 	 If a participant’s bonus target changes without a job change, the bonus payment shall be calculated based on the eligible earnings and bonus
“earned” at each of the respective target rates while in the applicable bonus-eligible position. 

  

	 	•	 	 Participants moving from a non-bonus eligible position to a bonus-eligible position or vice versa will receive a pro-rated bonus based on the
participant’s eligible earnings while actively employed in the bonus-eligible position. 

 Disability/Leave of Absence
(LOA) 
  

	 	•	 	 Subject to the provisions herein, participants on an approved LOA (including short-term disability) during the Plan Year will be eligible for a
pro-rated bonus based on the participant’s eligible earnings during the time that they were actively employed in the bonus-eligible position. Eligible earnings do not include short-term or state funded disability or workers’
compensation income. 

  

	 	•	 	 Participants on an approved LOA that is covered under the FMLA will be paid at the same time as the regular bonus payments.

  

 4 

 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
  

	 	•	 	 Participants on approved LOAs not covered by the FMLA will not be eligible to receive bonus payment unless and until they return to work, unless state
law otherwise requires payment. 

  

	 	•	 	 In the event of Total Disability, as defined under the terms of the Long Term Disability plan, the participant will receive a pro-rated bonus based on
the participant’s eligible earnings while actively employed in the bonus-eligible position. 

 Terminations

  

	 	•	 	 Participants who resign or are terminated for any reason other than death or disability before the date of the bonus payment, will be ineligible for a
bonus payment for the Plan Year, unless otherwise required by state law or employment agreement. 

  

	 	•	 	 In the case of death, a pro-rated bonus payment will be paid to the beneficiary designated by the participant under the group term life insurance plan,
and in the absence of any such designation, to the participant’s estate. Payments will be based on the participant’s eligible earnings while actively employed in a bonus-eligible position. 

  

	 	•	 	 The bonus payment will be based on the same parameters as those for other participants and will be paid at the same time as the regular bonus payment.

 Plan Administrator 
 The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for, and has the maximum discretion permitted under the law over, the administration of the Plan and the interpretation of all of the Plan’s
terms. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. This Plan may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior approval of the Compensation Committee. 
 The administrator of the Plan (“Plan Administrator”) will be designated by the Compensation Committee. 
 The Plan Administrator is responsible for approving any changes to bonus targets and for approving any additional eligible Executives to the Plan and the
corresponding bonus target, subject to the limitation set forth above under “Target Bonus Percentage” and subject to Compensation Committee approval of any changes with respect to Executive Officers of the Company as set forth in the
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bonus target changes and the addition of newly eligible Executives to the Plan will be effective only after a participant receives written (including email) confirmation of the
change from the Plan Administrator. 
 If the Plan Administrator determines that a participant has violated any of the policies contained
in the Realogy Code of Conduct or Key Policies, he/she is no longer eligible to receive a bonus in accordance with this Plan. 
 Other Provisions 
  

	•	 	 The payment of a bonus is not guaranteed and Realogy reserves the right to terminate, amend, modify and/or restate this Plan (in whole or in part) at
any time and without advance notice. Any

  

 5 

 Realogy 2010 Executive Annual Bonus Plan 
  

	 	 
questions regarding the terms of the Plan or its interpretation should be referred to the Plan Administrator. 

  

	•	 	 Subject to any applicable federal or state law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to, nor shall the Company be obligated to
recognize, any purported anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), assignment, pledge encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit shall in any
manner be liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution, or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the participant. 

  

	•	 	 The Plan shall not be construed as conferring on a participant any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, reserve, account, or
property of any kind possessed by the Company. To the extent that as a participant or any other person acquired a right to receive payments from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor.

  

	•	 	 This Plan is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and to the extent this Plan is not so exempt, it is intended to comply with Section 409A, and this Plan should be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. 

 Employment at Will 
 An eligible
employee’s employment with the Company is at will and is terminable at any time by either the Company or the employee, with or without cause, and with or without notice. This Plan shall not be construed to create a contract of employment
between the Company and the eligible employee for any specified period of time.

are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A. with an office at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as agent for the Lenders (in its capacity as
agent, the “Agent”), and Nicholas Financial, Inc., a Florida corporation, with offices at 2454 McMullen Booth Road, Building C, #501, Clearwater, Florida 33759-1340 (the “Borrower”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A. are parties to that certain
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000, as amended (as so amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Existing Lenders have agreed to make loans and other financial
accommodations to the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the Existing Lenders have agreed to enter
into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety (the “Amendment and Restatement”) to reflect, among other things, the increase in the Commitments (as defined below) and the extension of the
maturity of the loans; 
 WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement (i) shall re-evidence, the
Borrower’s indebtedness to the Existing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) is entered into in substitution for, and not in payment of, the obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (iii) is in
no way intended to constitute a novation of the Borrower’s indebtedness which was evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and the Borrower hereby
agree as follows.

 ARTICLE 1 
 INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT 
 1.1 Amendment and
Restatement; Allocations In order to facilitate the Amendment and Restatement and otherwise to effectuate the desires of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders: 
 (a) Each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended
and restated in their entirety by the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be superseded by this Agreement.

 (b) The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding the provisions regarding assignments set forth in Section 13.2
hereof, as of the Closing Date, the Commitments and Pro Rata Shares for each of the Lenders are as set forth beside each Lender’s name under the heading “Commitment” on the signature pages of this Agreement. Simultaneously with the
Closing Date, the parties hereby agree that the Commitments shall be as set forth on the signature pages hereto and the portion of Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be reallocated in accordance with such Commitments and the
requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts by and between the Lenders and from each Lender to each other Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignment and Acceptance (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement. Simultaneously with the Closing Date, those Existing Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement whose loan commitments are being terminated or decreased shall be
deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to new Lenders and Lenders increasing their loan commitments such portion of the terminating or decreasing Existing Lender’s existing loans and commitments as shall be necessary to effectuate the
modifications and adjustments in commitments and existing loans contemplated hereby, so that after giving effect to the assignments, consolidations and modifications contemplated by this Section 1.1(b), the resulting allocations are as set
forth on the signature pages hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.2 of the Existing Credit Agreement or Section 13.2 of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Acceptance,
shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and
Acceptance. On the Closing Date, the Lenders shall make full cash settlement with each other either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct or approve, with respect to all assignments, reallocations and
other changes in Commitments (as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) such that after giving effect to such settlements each Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the total credit facility shall be as set forth on the
signature pages hereto.

 ARTICLE 2 
 LOANS 
 2.1 Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders severally agree to make available
a total credit facility of up to the Maximum Revolver Amount for the Borrower’s use from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The total credit facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans in
an aggregate amount not to exceed the Borrowing Base. 
 2.2 Revolving Loans. (a) Amounts. Subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 10, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the Borrower’s request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the
Termination Date, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in amounts not to exceed (except for the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans and except for the Agent with respect to Protective Advances) such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing Base. If the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base, the Lenders may

  

 27 

 
refuse to make or otherwise restrict the making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion,
to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(i)(i). 
 (b) Procedure for Borrowing.
(1) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing (“Notice of Borrowing”) together with a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting sufficient
Availability, which must be received by the Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) no later than 12:00 noon (New York
time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying: 
 (A) the amount of the Borrowing which in
the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan may not be less than $1,000,000; 
 (B) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a
Business Day; 
 (C) whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans (and if
not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Revolving Loan); and 
 (D) the duration of the Interest Period if
the requested Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Revolving Loans. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be one month; 
 provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans only.

 (2) With respect to any request for Base Rate Revolving Loans, in lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing
the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time, with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such notice but the Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such
telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any such confirmation is received by Agent. 
 (3) The
Borrower shall have no right to request a LIBOR Rate Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (c) Reliance upon Authority. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, prior to the Closing Date, a writing setting forth the account of the Borrower to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans
requested pursuant to this Section 2.2. which account shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any person’s request for Revolving Loans on behalf of the Borrower, the
proceeds of which are to be transferred to the account specified by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, until the Agent receives written notice from the Borrower that the proceeds of the Revolving Loans are to be sent to a
different account. The Agent shall have

  

 28 

 
no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the Borrower to make such requests on its behalf. 
 (d) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in
Sections 2.2(b) and (c), which notice the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the Borrower to request Revolving Loans on its behalf or for otherwise acting in good faith
under this Section 2.2, and the crediting of Revolving Loans to the Borrower’s deposit account, as the Borrower shall direct, shall conclusively establish the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as provided
herein. 
 (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. 
 (f) Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Agent shall elect, in its discretion,
(i) to have the terms of Section 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) to request the Bank to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(h) in the amount of the requested Borrowing;
provided, however, that if the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(h), the Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 2.2(g) apply to such requested
Borrowing. 
 (g) Making of Revolving Loans. (i) In the event that the Agent shall elect to have the terms of this
Section 2.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.2(f), then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Agent shall notify the
Lenders by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available
funds, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After the Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the
proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Revolving Loans received by the Agent to the account of the Borrower, designated in writing by the
Borrower and acceptable to the Agent; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall in no event exceed the Availability on such date. 
 (ii) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing
Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its

  

 29 

 
full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day
following such Funding Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on
the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for
each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (and
if such failure is not cured within one Business Day, such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender hereunder) shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. 
 (iii) The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments
hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Agent. The Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such
Defaulting Lender. In no event shall Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to this Section. Any amounts so re-lent to the Borrower shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans and
for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans; provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, the Lenders and
the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrower) that, solely for purposes of determining a Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents and to
share in payments, fees and Collateral proceeds thereunder, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” until all its defaulted obligations have been cured. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata
Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such
requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in
default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations
hereunder. 
 (h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans. (i) In the event the Agent shall elect, with the consent of the Bank,
to have the terms of this Section 2.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.2(f), the Bank shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such

  

 30 

 
Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section 2.2(h) being referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan” and such Revolving Loans being referred
to collectively as “Non-Ratable Loans”) available to the Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring same day funds to an account of the Borrower, designated in writing by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent. Each
Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation
interest with respect to such Revolving Loan). The Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (A) the Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Article 10 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. The Agent shall not otherwise be required to
determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 10 have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any
Non-Ratable Loan. 
 (ii) The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall
constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to the Revolving Loans from time to time. 
 (i) Advances. (i) Protective Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos contained in this Section 2.2(i)(i), the Agent is hereby authorized by the
Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article
10 have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs,
fees and expenses as described in Section 15.7 (any of the advances described in this Section 2.2(i)(i) being hereinafter referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided, that any two (2) Lenders may at
any time revoke the Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 2.2(i)(i) to make Protective Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof;
provided further that (i) if the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders revoking such authorization does not exceed 50%, such revocation shall become effective 90 days after Agent’s receipt thereof or (ii) if the Default or Event
of Default would require consent of all Lenders to waive or amend, such authorization may be revoked by any Lender effective 90 days after Agent’s receipt thereof. Any Protective Advances made by Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.2(i)(i) shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of $4,000,000.00 and further shall not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than five percent (5%) and the Maximum Revolver Amount. The
Protective Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans
from time to time. The Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each such Protective Advance. 
  

 31 

 (ii) Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolving Loans exceed the Borrowing Base
(“Overadvance”) or the Maximum Revolver Amount at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the Borrower on demand by Agent, but all such Revolving Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and
entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrower to cure an
Overadvance, (A) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (1) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 90 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before
further Overadvance Loans are required), and (2) the Overadvance, including any Protective Advances that are Overadvance Loans, is not known by Agent to exceed five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base; and (B) regardless of whether an
Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (1) is not increased by more than $4,000,000.00, and (2) does not continue for more
than 90 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding Revolving Loans to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute
a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall the Borrower be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. 
 (j) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to be equal at
all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrower) that
in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the
following provisions: 
 (i) The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly
basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Protective Advance, and (C) with respect to
collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such
requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent in the case of Protective Advances) shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Protective Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), on
the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 10 have then
been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance representing the
Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving

Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect
to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Protective Advance be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three
(3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a
Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such
Non-Ratable Loans or Protective Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Protective Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at
the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans. 
 (iii) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance pursuant to clause (ii) preceding,
the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Protective Advance.

 (iv) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any
payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Bank’s Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement
Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank’s Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Protective Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a
participation pursuant to Section 2.2(j)(ii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount
such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Agent with respect to
Protective Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily
amount of funds employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders. 
  

 33 

 (k) Notation. The Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the
Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the Non-Ratable Loans owing to the Bank, and the Protective Advances owing to the Agent, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and
amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Revolving Loans in its books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the
information contained therein. 
 (l) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans
and Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make
any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to
perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

 2.3 Existing Indebtedness. Borrower acknowledges and confirms that, as of the Closing Date, it is indebted to the
Existing Lenders without defense, set-off or counter-claim under the Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement and the Borrower’s indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed
to constitute a Loan hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, however, does not evidence or represent a refinancing, repayment, accord and/or satisfaction or novation of the Borrower’s indebtedness
under the Existing Credit Agreement. All of the Lenders’ obligations to Borrowers with respect to Loans to be made concurrently herewith or hereafter are set forth in this Agreement. All liens and security interests previously granted to the
Existing Lenders pursuant to the Existing Credit Agent are acknowledged and reconfirmed and remain in full force and effect and are not intended to be released, replaced or impaired. 
 2.4 Bank Products. The Borrower may request and (a) with respect to Cash Management Services, the Bank or any Affiliate of the
Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for the Borrower to obtain from the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliate Cash Management Services and (b) with respect to Hedge Agreements, any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender may, with
the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), arrange for the Borrower to obtain from such Lender or such Lender’s Affiliate Hedge Agreements, although the Borrower is not required to do so in either
case. To the extent Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank or of a Lender, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and the other Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Bank
or any of the other Lenders which arise from the indemnity given by the Bank or such Lender to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to limit the Borrower’s rights,
with respect to the Bank, the other Lenders or their Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between the Borrower and the Bank or any other Lender which relate to Bank Products. The agreement contained in
this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower

  

 34 

 
acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of (a) Cash Management Services from the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates and (b) Hedge Agreements from any Lender or any Lender’s
Affiliates (i) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates or the Lender or the Lender’s Affiliates, respectively, and (ii) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Bank or the Bank’s
Affiliates or the Lender or the Lender’s Affiliates, respectively. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 INTEREST AND FEES 
 3.1 Interest. 
 (a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear
interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate and
Sections 3.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate described in Section 3.3. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, any of the Loans may be converted into, or continued as,
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans in the manner provided in Section 3.2. If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying
the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto, then those Loans shall be Base Rate Loans and shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in
accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows: 
 (i) For all Base Rate Revolving Loans and other Obligations (other than LIBOR Revolving Rate Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and 
 (ii) For all LIBOR Revolving Loans at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate described in clauses (i) and (ii) above as of the effective date of
such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest accrued on all Loans will be payable
in arrears on (A) the first day of each month hereafter, (B) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid, and (C) on the Termination Date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, without further
order or authorization of Borrower, to charge all interest payable hereunder to the Borrower’s Loan Account as Revolving Loans as described in Section 4.4 with interest to accrue thereon at the Interest Rate described in
Section 3.1(a)(ii). 
 (b) Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the
Agent or the Majority Lenders in their discretion so elect, then, while any such Default

  

 35 

 
or Event of Default is continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto. 
 3.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections. (a) The Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Agent in accordance with
Section 3.2(b): 
 (i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans to convert any such Loans (or
any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Rate Loans; or 
 (ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000,
or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); 
 provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate
Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of the
Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall terminate, and provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be
one month. 
 (b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of conversion/continuation (“Notice of Continuation/Conversion”)
to be received by the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans and specifying:

 (i) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed; 
 (iii) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and 
 (iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period. 
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans or if any Default or
Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. 
 (d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation. All conversions and continuations
shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender. 
  

 36 

 (e) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to
have a Loan converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan. 
 (f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of
Loans, there may not be more than four different Interest Periods in effect hereunder. 
 3.3
Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender under applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder
(the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would
otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by
the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3,
have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal
to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has
received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and
if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess. 
 3.4
Intentionally Deleted. 
 3.5 Unused Line Fee. Until the Loans have been paid in full and this Agreement
terminated, the Borrower agrees to pay, on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date, to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line
Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (1/2%) per annum times the amount by which the Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding month or shorter
period if calculated on the Termination Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments received by the Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Borrower’s Loan
Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 3.5. 
 3.6 Documentation Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for its sole account, a documentation fee in an amount equal to the costs incurred by the Agent in documenting changes to the Existing Credit Agreement. 
  

 37 

 3.7 Agency Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for its sole account, an agency
fee in the amount of $25,000 on the Closing Date and on each Anniversary Date thereafter. 
 3.8 Audit Fees. The Borrower
shall pay the Agent all costs incurred by the Agent in connection with verifications, examinations, audits, and inspections of the Borrower and the Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, without further order or authorization of Borrower to
charge all audit fees payable hereunder to the Borrower’s Loan Account as Revolving Loans as described in Section 4.4 with interest to accrue therewith at the Interest Rate described in Section 3.1(a)(ii). 
 ARTICLE 4 
 PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS 
 4.1 Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrower may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that with respect to any LIBOR Revolving Loans prepaid by the Borrower prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for account of the Lenders the amounts described in
Section 5.4. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings
exceeds the Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, the Borrower shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after the Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding
Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolving Loans to the Borrowing Base. 
 4.2
Termination of Facility. The Borrower may terminate this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (a) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans,
together with accrued interest thereon, (b) the payment of the early termination fee set forth in the next sentence, (c) the payment in full in cash of all other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and
(d) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid in connection with such termination prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the payment of the amounts described in Section 5.4. If this Agreement is
terminated at any time prior to the Stated Termination Date, whether pursuant to this Section or pursuant to Section 11.2, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an early termination fee determined in
accordance with the following table: 
  

			
	 Period during which
 early termination
         occurs
	  	 Early Termination
         Fee

		
	On or prior to November 30, 2010	  	One half of one percent ( 1/2%) of the
 Maximum Revolver Amount.

		
	 After November 30, 2010 but prior
 to November 30, 2011
	  	One quarter of one percent ( 1/4%) of the
 Maximum Revolver Amount.

  

 38 

 4.3 Payments by the Borrower. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall
be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders , at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in
Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the
definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent
may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent,
each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

4.4 Payments as Revolving Loans. All payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including
all reimbursement for expenses pursuant to Section 15.7, may, at the option of the Agent, in its sole discretion, subject only to the terms of this Section 4.4, be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder,
whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 4.4. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of
paying principal, interest, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 15.7, and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans
and Protective Advances) and that all such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2. 
  

 39 

 4.5 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest
payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the
Lenders. All payments shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the Agent,
shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Borrower; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due
to the Lenders from the Borrower; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Revolving Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Protective Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Protective Advances;
fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Protective Advances) and sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation including any amounts relating to Bank Products due to the Agent or any
Lender or any of their Affiliates by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Revolving Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no
outstanding Base Rate Revolving Loans. The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a
Settlement delay as provided for in Section 2.2(j). The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

 4.6 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any
part of the Obligations, the Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as
if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby does indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for
the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment
or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of
proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 4.7 Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Borrower agrees that the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the
transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof

  

 40 

 
thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide to the Borrower a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and
other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 4.8 and
corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the
Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. 
 ARTICLE 5

 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 5.1 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes. If Applicable Law requires the Borrower or the Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or deduction shall be based on information provided pursuant to
Section 14.10 and the Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be
increased so that Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been made. In
addition, the Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to
indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) withheld or
deducted by the Borrower or the Agent, or paid by any Lender or the Agent with respect to any Obligations or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto, as well as any amount that a Lender fails to pay indefeasibly to Agent under Section 14.10. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days after the date such Lender or
the Agent makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Agent, or by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as
practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (c) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder
to any Lender or the Agent, then: 
 (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made; 
  

 41 

 (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings; 
 (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law; and 
 (iv) the Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time
interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the Agent the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (e) If
the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 5.2 Illegality. (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement
of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make
LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by that Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. 
 (b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan,
the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required
under Section 5.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR
Rate Loans. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any LIBOR Rate Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan. 
 5.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Lender determines that due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or

  

 42 

 
(ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the
Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital
Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or
obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for
such increase. 
 5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any
loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
 (a) the failure of the Borrower to make on a
timely basis any payment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan; 
 (b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert
a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or 
 (c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any LIBOR Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; 
 including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 5.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice
in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of

  

 43 

 
Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount
specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans. 
 5.6 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article 5 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. 
 5.7 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this Article 5 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 COLLATERAL 
 6.1 Grant of Security Interest. As security for all Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders and the Agent a continuing security interest in, lien on, and assignment of and right of set off against, all of the following Property of the Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising,
regardless of where located: (a) all Contracts; (b) all General Intangibles; (c) all Accounts; (d) all money, securities and other property of any kind of the Borrower in the possession or under the control of the Agent or any
Lender, including any Cash Collateral; (e) all deposit accounts with any financial institution in which the Borrower maintains deposits; (f) all credit balances in favor of Borrower and claims against the Agent or any Lender or any of
their affiliates; (g) all books, records and other Property related to or referring to any of the foregoing; (h) all of the Borrower’s rights, but not its obligations, under all Dealer Agreements, including all rights to require a
Dealer to repurchase a Contract acquired from such Dealer, (i) all inventory of the Borrower (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Vehicles owned or repossessed by the Borrower) and (j) all accessions to, substitutions for and
replacements, products and proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties. All of the foregoing and all other Property of the Borrower in which the Agent and the Lenders may at any
time be granted a Lien is herein collectively referred to as the “Collateral.” All of the Obligations shall be secured by all of the Collateral. 
 6.2 Perfection and Protection of Security Interest. (a) The Borrower shall, at its expense, perform all steps requested by the Agent at any time to perfect, maintain,
protect, and enforce the Agent’s Liens, including: (i) executing, delivering and/or recording of filing financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;
(ii) delivering to the Agent the originals of all instruments, documents, and chattel paper, and all other Collateral of which the Agent determines it should have physical possession in order to perfect and protect the Agent’s security
interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to the Agent without restriction; (iii) placing notations on the Borrower’s books of account to disclose the Agent’s security interest; and (iv) taking such other steps as are
deemed necessary or desirable by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent’s Liens. To the extent

  

 44 

 
permitted by applicable law, the Agent may file, without the Borrower’s signature, one or more financing statements disclosing the Agent’s Liens. The Borrower agrees that a carbon,
photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. 
 (b) If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of the Borrower’s agents or processors, then the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof and shall, at the request of Agent, notify
such Person of the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral and instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral for the Agent’s account subject to the Agent’s instructions. If at any time any Collateral is located in any
operating facility of the Borrower not owned by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, obtain written landlord lien waivers or subordinations, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of all present
and future Liens to which the owner or lessor of such premises may be entitled to assert against the Collateral. 
 (c) From
time to time, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the Collateral with respect to the Borrower, but the
Borrower’s failure to do so shall not affect or limit any security interest or any other rights of the Agent or any Lender in and to the Collateral with respect to the Borrower. So long as this Agreement is in effect and until all Obligations
have been fully satisfied, the Agent’s Liens shall continue in full force and effect in all Collateral (whether or not deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit,
or other financial accommodation). 
 (d) Except with respect to Collateral delivered to the Agent pursuant to this
Section 6.2, the Borrower shall immediately following the execution or receipt of a Contract, stamp on the Contract the following words: “This document is subject to a security interest in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as
agent”. 
 6.3 Location of Collateral. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders
that: (a) Schedule 6.3 is a correct and complete list of the Borrower’s chief executive office, the location of its books and records, the locations of the Collateral, and the locations of all of its other places of business; and
(b) Schedule 6.3 correctly identifies any of such facilities and locations that are not owned by the Borrower and sets forth the names of the owners and lessors or sublessors of such facilities and locations. The Borrower covenants and
agrees that it will not (i) maintain any Collateral at any location other than those locations listed for the Borrower on Schedule 6.3, (ii) otherwise change or add to any of such locations, or (iii) change the location of its
chief executive office from the location identified in Schedule 6.3, unless it gives the Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and executes any and all financing statements and other documents that the Agent
reasonably requests in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower represents that all of its Inventory (other than Inventory in transit) is, and covenants that all of its Inventory will be, located either (a) on premises
owned by the Borrower, (b) on premises leased by the Borrower, provided that the Agent has, if requested by the Agent, received an executed landlord waiver from the landlord of such premises in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, or
(c) in a warehouse or with a

  

 45 

 
bailee, provided that the Agent has, if requested by the Agent, received an executed bailee letter from the applicable Person in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. 
 6.4 Title to, Liens on, and Sale and Use of Collateral. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees
with the Agent and the Lenders that: (a) all of the Collateral is and will continue to be owned by the Borrower free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens; (b) the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral will not be
subject to any prior Lien except for those Liens identified in clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of Permitted Liens; and (c) the Borrower will use, store, and maintain the Collateral with all reasonable
care and will use such Collateral for lawful purposes only. 
 6.5 Intentionally Deleted. 
 6.6 Access and Examination; Confidentiality; Consent to Advertising. (a) The Agent, accompanied by any Lender which so
elects, may at all reasonable times during regular business hours (and at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing) have access to, examine, audit, make extracts from or copies of and inspect any or all of the
Borrower’s records, files, and books of account and the Collateral, and discuss the Borrower’s affairs with the Borrower’s officers and management. Such examination, audit and inspection shall be conducted by the Agent at least once
per calendar year. The Borrower will deliver to the Agent any instrument necessary for the Agent to obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for the Borrower. The Agent may, and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, at
any time when a Default or Event of Default exists, and at the Borrower’s expense, make copies of all of the Borrower’s books and records, or require the Borrower to deliver such copies to the Agent. The Agent may, without expense to the
Agent, use such of the Borrower’s respective personnel, supplies, and Real Estate as may be reasonably necessary for maintaining or enforcing the Agent’s Liens. The Agent shall have the right, at any time, in the Agent’s name or in
the name of a nominee of the Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Accounts, Inventory, or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, or otherwise. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby consents that the Agent and each Lender may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing the
credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of the Borrower and a general description of the Borrowers business and may use the Borrower’s name in advertising and other promotional material.

 (c) Each Lender severally agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the
confidentiality of all information identified as “confidential” or “secret” by the Borrower and provided to the Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the
extent that such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Agent or such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower known to the Agent or such Lender; provided, however, that the Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (1) at the request
or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over

  

 46 

 
it or its Affiliates or in connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by any such Governmental Authority; (2) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (3) when
required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (4) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy proceeding) to which
the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (5) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (6) to the Agent’s or such
Lender’s independent auditors, accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; (7) to any prospective Participant or Assignee under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that such prospective Participant or
Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder; (8) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the
Borrower is party or is deemed party with the Agent or such Lender, and (9) to its Affiliates.

 6.8 Contracts. (a) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the
Contracts, that: (i) each existing Contract represents, and each future Contract will represent, a bona fide obligation of the Contract Debtor, enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) each existing Contract is, and

 6.9 Collection of Contracts; Payments. (a) While any portion of the Revolving Loans are unpaid, the Borrower
shall immediately, upon receipt thereof, deposit all proceeds of the Collateral (including all payments received in connection with the Contracts) into a Payment Account, which Payment Account shall be subject to the terms of a Blocked Account
Agreement, on terms acceptable to Agent, between the Borrower, the Agent and the bank. If, at any time, either (i) the Availability is equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base or (ii) an Event of Default occurs
(both (i) and (ii) are herein referred to as a “Triggering Event”), then at all times thereafter the Borrower’s right to withdraw any funds from the Payment Account shall immediately terminate and only the Agent shall have a
right to withdraw any funds from the Payment Account. The Borrower authorizes the Agent to notify the bank at which the Payment Account is located upon the happening of a Triggering Event that all funds deposited into the Payment Account are subject
solely to the direction of the Agent. The Agent shall reinstate the Borrower’s right to withdraw funds from the Payment Account in the event (i) the Availability is, at all times, greater than five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base
during any ninety (90) consecutive-day period following the date of termination of the Borrower’s withdrawal rights and (ii) no Default or Event of Default occurs during that period.

(b) all goods evidenced by such documents, instruments, and chattel paper are and will be owned by the Borrower, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. 
 6.13 Right to Cure. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, pay any amount
or do any act required of the Borrower hereunder or under

Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section 6.13 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.

 6.15 The Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities. The Borrower assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale or other disposition of the
Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release the
Borrower from any of the Obligations. Following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from the Borrower,
sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or
omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without
discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of the Borrower for the Obligations or under this Agreement or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and the Borrower.

Earnings from Operations for the applicable period, plus interest expense and any provision for income taxes for such period (numerator) to (b) aggregate interest expense for such period (denominator) (the “Interest Coverage
Ratio”), to be less than 1.50:1. For purposes of the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Borrower’s Adjusted Net Earnings from Operations shall be reduced by the amount of any increase, if any, in the (i) Charge Off

 9.21 Borrowing Base Ratio. The Borrower shall not permit the ratio of (a) the remainder of (i) all liabilities,
obligations, and indebtedness of the Borrower minus (ii) all Subordinated Debt (numerator) to (b) Borrowing Base Amount (denominator) (the “Borrowing Base Ratio”) to be, at any time,

 9.23 Limitation on Bulk Purchases. Borrower shall not, without Agent’s prior written consent (which Agent may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion), acquire for a purchase price greater than $500,000 any Contracts as part of a Bulk Purchase Transaction. The phrase ‘Bulk Purchase Transaction’ shall mean the purchase, on a group or aggregate basis, of

individual Contract Debtors who are the Contract obligors. Borrower may, without the consent of Agent, acquire for a purchase price of $3,000,000 or less Contracts as part of a Bulk Purchase Transaction provided the Borrower has Availability
sufficient to consummate the Bulk Purchase Transaction prior to, and without giving effect to, the Bulk Purchase Transaction.

legislation or executive order relating thereto (including, but not limited to (a) Executive order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism
(66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56). None of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates is or will become a Sanctioned Entity or Sanctioned Person as described in the Executive Order, the Trading with the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or engages or will engage in any
dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such Sanctioned Entity or Sanctioned Person.

non-refundable dealer reserves) from the methodology employed by the Borrower as of the Closing Date so as to change the consistency of the information with respect to such items, from time to time, provided to Lender. In the event that Borrower
elects at any time, to amend or modify the methodology employed by Borrower in effect as of the date of this Agreement, in preparing its financial

  

 62 

 
reports relating to the calculation of loss or dealer reserves (including non-refundable dealer reserves), Agent reserves the right, upon written notice to Borrower to change, or modify the
definition of Eligible Accounts of the Borrower and the financial covenants contained in this Agreement to the extent Agent deems necessary to maintain and preserve the consistency of information, eligibility standards and financial covenant
limitations prescribed by and contained in this Agreement and in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and as otherwise may be deemed necessary by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable financial judgment, under the circumstances, resulting from
any such change. The provisions of the foregoing shall not apply to any change in accounting methodology required in the reasonable financial opinion of Borrower’s certified public accountants to comply with the AICPA Statement of Position
Concerning Accounting for Discounts Related to Credit Policy, effective April 1, 2004, as amended. 
 9.28 Contract
Forms. The Borrower shall not use or acquire in its business Contracts which are not on the printed forms previously approved in writing by the Agent and the Borrower shall not change or vary the printed forms of such Contracts without the
Agent’s prior written consent, unless such change or variation is required by any Requirement of Law. The Agent may reasonably withhold its consent until the Agent receives a satisfactory opinion of the Borrower’s counsel regarding
compliance of the revised form of Contract with any Requirement of Law. 
 9.29 Credit Guidelines. The Borrower shall not
make any changes in its Credit Guidelines (a copy of which has been previously furnished by the Borrower to the Lenders) without the Lenders’ prior written consent which any of the Lenders may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Any
updates to the Credit Guidelines shall be submitted to the Agent for approval in accordance with this Section. The Borrower shall not purchase or otherwise acquire contracts which do not comply with the Credit Guidelines. 
 9.30 Extended Warranty Plans. To the extent that the Borrower allows a Dealer to finance so-called “extended warranty
plans,” the Borrower shall ensure that (i) the cost of such plans are disclosed to the Contract Debtors and such plans are in compliance with all applicable consumer credit laws, including any and all special insurance laws relating
thereto and (ii) such plans are underwritten by (x) a major automobile manufacturer or an Affiliate thereof, or (y) an independent and financially sound insurance company. 
 9.31 Charge-Off Policy. Borrower shall maintain, all in a manner satisfactory to Agent, a policy for charging off the unpaid balance
of any Contract upon the occurrence of any default under the terms thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower’s policy shall provide, as a minimum, that on the last business day of each month, the Borrower shall charge
off (i) the unpaid balance of any Contract with respect to which any payment due thereunder is 120 days or more past due as determined on a contractual basis and (ii) the unpaid balance of any Contract with respect to which the Contract
Debtor is the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. In addition, the policy shall provide that Borrower shall immediately charge off all Contracts with a deficiency balance and shall charge off all of the value of any Vehicles which have
been repossessed for more than 120 days. Borrower shall properly account for all charge offs in the calculation of all financial covenant requirements in this Agreement. To the extent that the amount

  

 63 

 
of the then outstanding Charge Off Shortfall is deducted (i) from Borrower’s Adjusted Net Earnings from Operations for purposes of the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio as set
forth in Section 9.18 and (ii) from Borrower’s Adjusted Tangible Net Worth for purposes of the calculation of the Borrowing Base Ratio as set forth in Section 9.21, such Charge Off Shortfall shall be deemed not to be a default
under this Section 9.31, provided, however, that Agent at any time may give Borrower 60 days’ prior written notice that failure to make or maintain the amount of charge offs as required by the first three sentences of this
Section 9.31 may thereafter be deemed a default under this Section 9.31 (whether or not any such deductions are made). 
 9.32 Further Assurances. The Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agent such documents and agreements, and shall take or cause to be taken such actions, as the Agent may, from time to
time, request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 (h) The Agent and the Lenders shall have had an opportunity, if they so choose, to examine the books of account and other records and files of the Borrower and to make copies thereof, and to conduct a pre-closing audit which shall include,
without limitation, verification of Inventory, Accounts, and the Borrowing Base, and the results of such examination and audit shall have been satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders in all respects. 
 (i) All proceedings taken in connection with the execution of this Agreement, all other Loan Documents and all documents and papers relating
thereto shall be satisfactory in form, scope, and substance to the Agent and the Lenders. 
 The acceptance by the Borrower of
any Loans made on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Borrower to the effect that all of the conditions precedent to the making of such Loans have been satisfied, with the same effect as delivery to the
Agent and the Lenders of a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, dated the Closing Date, to such effect. 
 Execution and delivery to the Agent by a Lender of a counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed confirmation by such Lender that (i) all conditions precedent in this Section 10.1 have been fulfilled to the satisfaction
of such Lender, (ii) the decision of such Lender to execute and deliver to the Agent an executed counterpart of this Agreement was made by such Lender independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender as to the satisfaction of
any condition precedent set forth in this Section 10.1, and (iii) all documents sent to such Lender for approval consent, or satisfaction were acceptable to such Lender. 
  

 65 

 10.2 Conditions Precedent to Each Loan. The obligation of the
Lenders to make each Loan, including the initial Revolving Loans on the Closing Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that on and as of the date of any such extension of credit: 
 (a) the following statements shall be true, and the acceptance by the Borrower of any extension of credit shall be deemed to be a statement
to the effect set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), with the same effect as the delivery to the Agent and the Lenders of a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer, dated the date of such extension of credit, stating
that: 
 (i) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are correct in all
material respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit as though made on and as of such date, other than any such representation or warranty which relates to a specified prior date and except to the extent the Agent and the Lenders have
been notified by the Borrower that any representation or warranty is not correct and the Majority Lenders have explicitly waived in writing compliance with such representation or warranty; and 
 (ii) No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such extension of credit, which constitutes a Default or an Event of
Default; and 
 (b) The amount of the Borrowing Base shall be sufficient to make such Revolving Loans without exceeding the
Availability, provided, however, that the foregoing conditions precedent are not conditions to each Lender participating in or reimbursing the Bank or the Agent for such Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of any Non-Ratable Loan or
Protective Advance made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.2(h), (i) and (j). 
 ARTICLE 11

 11.2 Remedies. (a) If a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of
the Majority Lenders, do one or more of the following at

  

 68 

 
any time or times and in any order, without notice to or demand on the Borrower: (i) reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount, or the advance rates against Eligible Contracts used in computing the
Borrowing Base, or reduce one or more of the other elements used in computing the Borrowing Base; and (ii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make Revolving Loans. If an Event of Default exists, the Agent shall, at the direction of any Lender,
declare a Default or Event of Default and give written notice thereof to the Borrower and at the direction of the Majority Lenders, do one or more of the following, in addition to the actions described in the preceding sentence, at any time or times
and in any order, without notice to or demand on the Borrower: (A) terminate the Commitments and this Agreement; (B) declare any or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the

other rights of the Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC; (ii) the Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Borrower’s premises, at no cost to the Agent or any
Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or the Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s demand, at the Borrower’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place
reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Majority Lenders deem advisable, in their sole
discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way
requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the Borrower agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute
reasonable notice to the Borrower if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such action to the
Borrower’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 15.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the Lenders receive

irrevocably waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and
(C) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. The Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for
the benefit of any Person. The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, the Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property,
in completing production of, advertising or selling

  

 69 

 
any Collateral, and the Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied
first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the
Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 TERM AND TERMINATION 
 12.1 Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Stated Termination Date. The Agent upon direction from the
Majority Lenders may terminate this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Obligations (including all unpaid principal, accrued and
unpaid interest and any early termination or prepayment fees or penalties) shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash, the
Borrower shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its Obligations hereunder, and the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including
the Agent’s Liens in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then existing and after-arising Collateral).

waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders

consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to
an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless
an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment,
together with payment instructions,

  

 71 

 
addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall
have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any note or notes subject to such assignment and (iii) unless the assignment
is to a Lender’s Affiliate, the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,000. 
 (b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and
agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the
attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by the Borrower to the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial
condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance

(v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the
discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.2(a), this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising

  

 72 

 
therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower
(a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower
and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or
grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than amendments, modifications and waivers requiring the
approval of 100% of the Lenders), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have
been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in
favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

 13.3 Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) is a Defaulting Lender, or (b) fails to give its
consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required within 10 days of the Agent’s request therefore and Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, consented, then, in addition to any other rights
and remedies that any Person may have, Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s) specified by Agent,
pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s) and within 20 days after Agent’s notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender
shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge). 

 

 73 

 ARTICLE 14 
 THE AGENT 
 14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby
designates and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the
express conditions contained in this Article 14. The provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions
contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as
expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is
expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of
Protective Advances pursuant to Section 2.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.2, including the taking of any action to enforce any Obligations or Loan Documents or to realize upon any Collateral
or to otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. 
 14.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through
agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects
as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 14.3 Liability of Agent. None of
the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof,
contained in this Agreement or in any other

  

 74 

 
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
 14.4
Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by
Section 13.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 14.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Upon the written
request of any Lender, the Agent shall declare a Default under this Agreement and send notice (“Default Notice”) thereof to the Borrower within 10 Business Days, with a copy provided to each of the Lenders unless such Default is
cured or waived. Otherwise, the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and
until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. Agent and each of the
Lenders agree to use reasonable good faith efforts to disclose to each other, as soon as practicable after discovery by a senior officer with direct responsibility for the management of the transactions with Borrower any information or communication
(believed to be reliable and substantially accurate) which the disclosing Lender has reason to believe (a) is not known by Agent or the other Lenders (as applicable) and (b) may have a material and adverse effect upon the business or
operations of the Borrower and/or upon the collateral security for the Loans, and as a result, may impair the repayment of the Loans as and when due; provided, however, that neither the Agent nor the other Lenders shall have any
liability as a result of its or their failure to

  

 75 

 
disclose any information pursuant to this Section, nor shall any Lender assert any such failure by Agent or another Lender as a defense to any claim asserted against a Lender under the provisions
of this Agreement. 
 14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to
enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any
of the Agent-Related Persons. 
 14.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 15.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting
solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section
shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
 14.8 Agent in
Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Bank or its

  

 76 

 
Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Subsidiary)
and acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Bank in its individual capacity. 
 14.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment
as Agent. In the event the Bank sells all of its Commitment and Revolving Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee
shall become the successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

 14.10 Lender Tax Information. (a) Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to the Agent and the
Borrower Agent, at the times and in form required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower, sufficient to permit the Agent or the Borrower to determine (a) whether or not payments made with respect to Obligations
are subject to Taxes, (b) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes for such payments or otherwise to establish
such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 (b) If the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If any foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the Obligations, it shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon request by the Agent or
the Borrower, but only if such foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), (a) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form W-8IMY
and all required supporting documentation; (d) in the case of a foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN and a

  

 77 

 
certificate showing such foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or (e) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to allow the Agent and the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (c) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption
or reduction. Each Lender shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) the Borrower and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by
or asserted against the Borrower or the Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section. Each Lender
authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to the Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender under any Loan Document. The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the
resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
 14.11 Intentionally Deleted. 
 14.12 Collateral Matters. 
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent’s Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and
payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Loans and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with
Section 9.9 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or
(iv) constituting property leased to the Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the
prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $1,000,000 during any one year period without the prior written
authorization of the Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 14.12. 
 (b) Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to
Section 14.12(a) from the Lenders of the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by the Borrower, the
Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall
not be required to execute any

  

 78 

 
such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without
recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all interests retained
by the Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 (c)
The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner
it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

 14.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not,
without the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any accounts of the
Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any
security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment,
foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or
payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly
(1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be
applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of
participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is
required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 
  

 79 

 14.14 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent
for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. 
 14.15 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or
internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance),
or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents
principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans, or otherwise. 
 14.16 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan
Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent,
Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent, the Majority Lenders, or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers
set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 14.17 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively,
“Reports”) prepared by the Agent; 
 (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent
(i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding the Borrower and will rely significantly upon the Borrower’s books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrower’s personnel; 
 (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any
Report in any other manner; and 
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a

  

 80 

 
Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit
accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect,
and indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any
such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 14.18 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the
Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. 
 ARTICLE 15 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 15.1 No Waivers; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure by the Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among the Borrower and the Agent and/or any Lender,
or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or
the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to
collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have.

 15.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any

 82 

 
TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,

Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any loss or liability directly or indirectly

OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND THE BORROWER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED
TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR. 
 15.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the
Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. No modification,
rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made,

  

 85 

 
except by a written agreement signed by the Borrower and a duly authorized officer of each of the Agent and the requisite Lenders. 
 15.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and the Borrower in
separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all
signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent
or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S
LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.
