All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Section 1.1. 

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

The Borrower has requested, and Bank has agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

 

SECTION 1.DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION. 

Definitions.

  The following terms when used herein shall have the following meanings:

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

Adjusted LIBOR=LIBOR 

  1 - Eurodollar Reserve Percentage 

 

“Affiliate” means any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, another Person.  A Person shall be deemed to control another Person for purposes of this definition if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policies of the other Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, common directors, trustees or officers, by contract or otherwise; provided that, solely for purposes of Sections 5.14 and 7.7, any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the securities having the ordinary voting power for the election of directors or governing body of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed to control the Borrower or such Subsidiary. 

 

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

“Applicable Margin” means, with respect to Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, and the commitment/facility fees and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11, until the first Pricing Date, the rates per annum shown opposite Level III below, and thereafter from one Pricing Date to the next the Applicable Margin means the rates per annum determined in accordance with the following schedule:

 

	Level

	Total Leverage Ratio for Such Pricing Date

	Applicable Margin for (i) Eurodollar Loans and (ii) Letter of Credit Fees shall be:

	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans shall be:

	Applicable Margin for Commitment Fee shall be:

	III

	Greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00

	3.50%

	2.50%

	0.45%

	II

	Less than 2.25 to 1.00, but greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00

	3.00%

	2.00%

	0.35%

	I

	Less than 1.50 to 1.00

	2.50%

	1.50%

	0.25%

 

For purposes hereof, the term “Pricing Date” means, for any fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on or after June 30, 2018, the date on which Bank is in receipt of the Borrower’s most recent financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the fiscal quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 6.5(a) and (b), and the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(c) for such fiscal quarter.  The Applicable Margin shall be established based on the Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and the Applicable Margin established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date.  If the Borrower has not delivered its financial statements by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required to be delivered under Section 6.5, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., Level III shall apply).  If the Borrower subsequently delivers such financial statements before the next Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late delivered financial statements shall take effect from the date of delivery until the next Pricing Date.  In all other circumstances, the Applicable Margin established by such financial statements shall be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the end of the fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements until the next Pricing Date.  Each determination of the Applicable Margin made by Bank in accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

 

If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or Bank determines that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Bank, promptly on demand by Bank (or, after the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(j) or (k) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, automatically and without further action by Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This 

726721136.8 18564250

paragraph shall not limit the rights of Bank under any other provision of the Loan Documents.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

“Application” and “Applications” are each defined in Section 2.3(b).

 

“Authorized Representative” means those persons shown on the lists of officers provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 or on any update of any such list provided by the Borrower to Bank, or any further or different officers of the Borrower so named by any Authorized Representative of the Borrower in a written notice to Bank.

As used herein, the term “LIBOR Quoted Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the quotient of (i) the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a one-month interest period as reported on the applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by Bank from time to time) as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) divided by (ii) one (1) minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage, provided that in no event shall the “LIBOR Quoted Rate” be less than 0.00%. 

 

“Base Rate Loan” means a Loan bearing interest at a rate specified in Section 2.4(a).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit Commitment, Bank shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit.  The aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit shall constitute usage, in such amount, of the Revolving Credit Commitment.  For purposes of this Agreement, a Letter of Credit shall be deemed outstanding as of any time in an amount equal to the maximum amount  

17

726721136.8 18564250

which could be drawn thereunder under any circumstances and over any period of time plus any unreimbursed drawings then outstanding with respect thereto.  If and to the extent any Letter of Credit expires or otherwise terminates without having been drawn upon, the availability under the Revolving Credit Commitment and L/C Sublimit shall to such extent be reinstated.  Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall expire not later than the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of issuance (or be cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance and each renewal) and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be payable in U.S. Dollars, conform to the general requirements of Bank for the issuance of a standby or commercial letter of credit, as the case may be, as to form and substance, and be a letter of credit which Bank may lawfully issue.

(b)Applications.  At the time the Borrower requests a Letter of Credit to be issued (or prior to the first issuance of a Letter of Credit in the case of a continuing application), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Bank an application for such Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by Bank (individually an “Application” and collectively the “Applications”).  Subject to the other provisions of this Section, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse Bank for drawings under a Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Application for such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary:  (i) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.11, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8, unless an Event of Default exists, Bank will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if Bank is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Bank for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed).   

(c)Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Obligations as provided in subsection (b) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Application under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Bank shall have no liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of  

18

726721136.8 18564250

Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.  

(d)Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ advance written notice to Bank of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to Bank, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement.     

Applicable Interest Rates

.  

(a)Base Rate Loans.  Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 

(b)Eurodollar Loans.  Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).   

(c)Rate Determinations.  Bank shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.   

Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans.

  Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.  Without Bank’s consent, there 

19

726721136.8 18564250

shall not be more than three (3) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time. 

Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates

.  

(a)Notice to Bank.  The Borrower shall give notice to Bank by no later than 10:00 a.m.:  (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests Bank to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) on the date on which the Borrower requests Bank to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing.  Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 2.5, a portion thereof, as follows:  (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans, or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to Bank by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), in a form acceptable to Bank.  Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion.  All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto.  No Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then exists.  The Borrower agrees that Bank may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any Person Bank in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if Bank has acted in reliance thereon. 

(b)Borrower’s Failure to Notify.  If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.8(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  In the event the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified Bank by 12:00 noon on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit  

20

726721136.8 18564250

Commitment on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.

Scheduled Payments; Maturity of Loans

.  

(a)Scheduled Payments of Term Loan.  The Borrower shall make principal payments on the Term Loan in installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on June 30, 2018, in an amount equal to $616,071.43, it being agreed that a final payment comprised of all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Term Loan shall be due and payable on September 12, 2022, the final maturity thereof.  

(b)Revolving Loans.  Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest then outstanding, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 

Prepayments

. 

(a)Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, and (iii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by the Borrower to Bank, and any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at any time upon notice delivered by the Borrower to Bank no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by Bank), such prepayment, in each case, to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of the Term Loan or any Eurodollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due Bank under Section 3.3.  

(b)Mandatory Prepayments.  

(i)If the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make or agree to make a Disposition or shall suffer an Event of Loss with respect to any Property, then the Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and, promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (x) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received on account of an Event of Loss so long as such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to replace or restore the relevant Property in accordance with the relevant Collateral Documents, (y) this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received on account of Dispositions during any fiscal year of the Borrower not exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (z) in the case of any Disposition not covered by clause (y) above, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if the  

21

726721136.8 18564250

Borrower states in its notice of such event that the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary intends to reinvest, within 90 days of the applicable Disposition, the Net Cash Proceeds thereof in assets similar to the assets which were subject to such Disposition, then the Borrower shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under this subsection in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested in such similar assets with such 90 day period.  Promptly after the end of such 90 day period, the Borrower shall notify Bank whether the Borrower or such Subsidiary has reinvested such Net Cash Proceeds in such similar assets, and, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so reinvested, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Obligations in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested.  The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied in the case of a Disposition or Event of Loss with respect to any Property other than the Mortgaged Premises, first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans.  If Bank so requests, all proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss shall be deposited with Bank (or its agent) and held by it in the Collateral Account to be disbursed to or at the Borrower’s direction for application to or reimbursement for the costs of replacing, rebuilding or restoring such Property. 

(ii)If after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall issue new equity securities (whether common or preferred stock or otherwise), other than equity securities issued in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or other employee stock incentive awards, the Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof.  Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, so long as (x) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom and (y) the Borrower is in compliance with each of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.13 on a pro forma basis as of the fiscal quarter then last ended for which financial statements have been delivered after giving effect to such issuance, this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds (an “Unrestricted Equity Raise”).  The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans.  The Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of Bank for any breach of Section 7.5 (Maintenance of Subsidiaries) or Section 8.1(i) (Change of Control) hereof or any other terms of the Loan Documents. 

(iii)If after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall issue any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, other than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money permitted by Section 7.1, the Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof.  Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds.  The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans.  The Borrower  

22

726721136.8 18564250

acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of Bank for any breach of Section 7.1 or any other terms of the Loan Documents.

(iv)If after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall issue any Subordinated Debt, the Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof.  Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds.  The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans.  The Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of Bank for any breach of Section 7.1 or any other terms of the Loan Documents. 

(v)The Borrower shall prepay the Obligations by an amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries minus (y) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of the Term Loan for the most recently completed fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year of the Borrower ending December 31, 2018, within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year; provided, however, to the extent that the Total Leverage Ratio as of both the last day of such fiscal year and the last day of the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the end of such fiscal year is less than 1.75 to 1.00 and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of prepayment that is otherwise required under this Section to be made from the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow shall be reduced to 0%.  The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans. 

(vi)The Borrower shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.13, prepay the Revolving Loans and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitment has been so reduced.   

(vii)If at any time the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the L/C Obligations then outstanding shall be in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately and without notice or demand pay over the amount of the excess to Bank as and for a mandatory prepayment on such Obligations, with each such prepayment first to be applied to the Revolving Loans until paid in full with any remaining balance to be applied to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations.  

(viii)Unless the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire.  Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of the  

23

726721136.8 18564250

Term Loan or any Eurodollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts due Bank under Section 3.3. 

(c)Any amount of Revolving Loans paid or prepaid before the Revolving Credit Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.  No amount of the Term Loan paid or prepaid may be reborrowed, and, in the case of any partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments (including the payment to be made upon maturity) on the relevant Loans in the inverse order of maturity. 

Default Rate

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Loan or any part thereof is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration, or otherwise), or at the election of Bank upon notice to the Borrower during the existence of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and letter of credit fees at a rate per annum equal to:

(a)for any Base Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;  

(b)for any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; 

(c)for any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the amounts due under Section 2.3 with respect to such Reimbursement Obligation; and 

(d)for any Letter of Credit, the sum of 2.0% plus the letter of credit fee due under Section 2.11 with respect to such Letter of Credit. 

Evidence of Indebtedness

.  

(a)Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to Bank from time to time hereunder. 

(b)The entries maintained in the account(s) maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, that the failure of Bank to maintain such account(s) or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 

(c)Bank may request that the Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of its Term Loan and referred to herein as the “Term Note”), or Exhibit A-2 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Note”), as applicable (the Term Note and Revolving Notes being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”).  In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver  

24

726721136.8 18564250

to Bank a Note payable to Bank or its registered assigns in the amount of the relevant Term Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable.  

Section 2.11Fees. 

(a)Bank Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to Bank the fees agreed to between them in a fee letter dated as of the Closing Date, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between them from time to time. 

(b)Revolving Credit Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to Bank a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily amount equal to the difference between (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations.  Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination. 

(c)Letter of Credit Fees.  On the last day of each month (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) to and including, and on, the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to Bank a letter of credit fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the daily average face amount of undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding during the preceding month.  In addition to such letter of credit fee, the Borrower further agrees to pay to Bank such issuing, processing, transaction and other fees and charges as Bank from time to time customarily imposes in connection with any issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, and/or payment of letters of credit and drafts drawn thereunder. 

(d)Audit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to Bank reasonable charges for audits of the Collateral performed by Bank or its agents or representatives in such amounts as Bank may from time to time reasonably request (Bank acknowledging and agreeing that such charges shall be computed in the same manner as it at the time customarily uses for the assessment of charges for similar collateral audits); provided that in the absence of any Default and Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be required to pay Bank for more than one such audit per calendar year. 

Place and Application of Payments.

  All payments of principal, interest, fees, and all other Obligations payable under the Loan Documents shall be made to Bank at its office at 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois (or at such other place as Bank may specify) no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date any such payment is due and payable (unless such date is not a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day pursuant to Section 9.2).  Payments received by Bank after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.  All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, without setoff or counterclaim and without reduction for, and free from, any and all present or 

25

726721136.8 18564250

future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholdings, restrictions, and conditions of any nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (but excluding any taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Bank).  All payments shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries secured by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability) to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof.  Unless the Borrower otherwise directs, principal payments shall be applied first to the relevant Base Rate portion until payment in full thereof, with any balance applied to the relevant Eurodollar portions in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to (a) charge from time to time any of the Borrower’s deposit accounts with Bank and/or (b) make Revolving Loans from time to time hereunder (and any such Revolving Loan may be made by Bank hereunder without regard to the provisions of Section 4 hereof), in each case for payment of any Obligation then due and payable (whether such Obligation is for interest then due on a Loan, a Reimbursement Obligation or otherwise); provided that Bank shall not be under any obligation to charge any such deposit account or make any such Revolving Loan under this Section, and Bank shall incur no liability to the Borrower or any other Person for its failure to do so.  

Commitment Terminations

.  

(a)Optional Revolving Credit Terminations.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Bank (or such shorter period of time agreed to by Bank), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be in an amount not less than $1,000,000; provided that the Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding.  Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount. 

(b)Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 may not be reinstated.   

Sweep to Loan Arrangement.

  So long as a Sweep to Loan Arrangement is in effect, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Revolving Loans may be advanced and prepaid hereunder notwithstanding any notice, minimum amount, or funding and payment location requirements hereunder for any advance of Revolving Loans or for any prepayment of any Revolving Loans.  The making of any such Revolving Loans shall otherwise be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  All Revolving Loans advanced or prepaid pursuant to such Sweep to Loan Arrangement shall be Base Rate Loans.  Bank shall have the right in its sole discretion to suspend or terminate the making and/or prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to such Sweep to Loan Arrangement with notice to the Borrower (which may be provided on a same-day basis), whether or not any Default or Event of Default exists.  Bank shall not be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any losses directly or indirectly resulting from events beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including any interruption of communications or 

26

726721136.8 18564250

data processing services or legal restriction or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with any Sweep to Loan Arrangement.

SECTION 3.CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. 

Withholding Taxes.

  Except as otherwise required by law, each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.  If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Bank free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount that Bank would have received had such withholding not been made.  If Bank pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse Bank for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made.  If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to Bank on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

Documentary Taxes.

  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

Funding Indemnity.

 If Bank shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to Bank) as a result of:

(a)any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period; 

(b)any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 4 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan, or to convert a Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.6(a); 

(c)any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise); or 

(d)any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder; 

then, upon the demand of Bank, the Borrower shall pay to Bank such amount as will reimburse Bank for such loss, cost or expense.  If Bank makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in

reasonable detail and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

Change of Law.

  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for Bank to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and Bank’s obligations to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for Bank to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans.  The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Eurodollar Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to Bank under this Agreement; provided, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loans by means of Base Rate Loans.

Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, LIBOR.

  

(a)If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans: 

(i)Bank reasonably determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or 

(ii)Bank reasonably determines that (i) LIBOR as determined hereby will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or (ii) the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans become impracticable,  

then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of Bank to create, continue, or effect by conversion Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

(b)If Bank reasonably determines after the Closing Date that LIBOR has been discontinued, Bank shall select a comparable successor rate in its reasonable discretion and will promptly so notify the Borrower, and such successor rate shall apply five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice. 

Increased Cost and Reduced Return

.  

(a)If, on or after the date hereof, any Change in Law: 

(i)shall subject Bank (or its lending branch) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or issue a Letter of Credit, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank (or its lending branch) of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or Letter(s) of Credit, or any other  

28

726721136.8 18564250

amounts due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or Letter(s) of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or issue a Letter of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank (or its lending branch) imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office or lending branch is located), in each case, other than net income, franchise or branch profits taxes payable by Bank; or

(ii)shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Bank (or its lending branch) or shall impose on Bank (or its lending branch) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit; 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank (or its lending branch) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank (or its lending branch) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by Bank, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)If, after the date hereof, Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), but excluding any effect on the taxes payable by Bank, by an amount reasonably deemed by Bank in good faith to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by Bank, the Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. 

(c)A certificate of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.6 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

Lending Offices.

 Bank may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect.  To the extent reasonably possible, Bank shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to Bank under Section 3.6 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Section 3.5, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to Bank.

29

726721136.8 18564250

Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding.

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall be made as if Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loan, bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.

SECTION 5.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Margin stock (as hereinabove defined) constitutes less than 25% of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other restriction hereunder.   

34

726721136.8 18564250

Financial Reports.

  Each of the financial statements required to be delivered to Bank pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 6.5 fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at said dates and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

No Material Adverse Change.

  Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, since December 31, 2016, there has been no change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole except those occurring in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Full Disclosure.

  Other than as amended or updated in writing prior to the Closing Date, the statements and information furnished to Bank in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the commitments by Bank to provide all or part of the financing contemplated hereby do not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading, Bank acknowledging that as to any projections furnished to Bank, the Borrower only represents that the same were prepared on the basis of information and estimates the Borrower believed to be reasonable.

Trademarks, Franchises, and Licenses.

  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, possess, or have the right to use all necessary patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, trade secrets, know how, and confidential commercial and proprietary information to conduct their businesses as now conducted, without known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trade name, trade style, copyright or other proprietary right of any other Person.

Governmental Authority and Licensing.

  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received all licenses, permits, and approvals of all Governmental Authorities, if any, necessary to conduct their businesses, in each case except where the failure to obtain or maintain the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Litigation and Other Controversies.

  Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11, there is no litigation, settlement or governmental or arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Property which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower does not know of any proposed additional tax assessment against it or its Subsidiaries for which adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP have not been made on their accounts.  Adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP for taxes on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary have been made for all open years, and for its current fiscal period.

Affiliate Transactions.

  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any contracts or agreements with any of its Affiliates (other than with the Borrower or a Guarantor) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each other.

The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, preserve and keep in force and effect all licenses, permits, franchises, approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, and other proprietary rights necessary to the proper conduct of its business, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Taxes and Assessments.

  The Borrower shall duly pay and discharge, and shall cause each Subsidiary to duly pay and discharge, all taxes, rates, assessments, fees, and governmental charges upon or against it or its Property, in each case before the same become delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves are provided therefor.  

Insurance.

  The Borrower shall insure and keep insured, and shall cause each Subsidiary to insure and keep insured, with good and responsible insurance companies, all insurable Property owned by it which is of a character usually insured by Persons similarly situated and operating like Properties against loss or damage from such hazards and risks (including flood insurance with respect to any improvements on real Property consisting of building or parking facilities in an area designated by a governmental body as having special flood hazards), and in such amounts, as are insured by Persons similarly situated and operating like Properties, but in no event at any time in an amount less than the replacement value of the Collateral.

Costs and Expenses; Indemnification

.  

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay all documented third party costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Bank, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, together with any documented fees and charges reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with periodic environmental audits, fixed asset appraisals, title insurance policies, collateral filing fees and lien searches.  The Borrower agrees to pay to Bank all costs and expenses incurred or paid by Bank, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary as a debtor thereunder).  The Borrower further agrees to indemnify Bank, and any security trustee therefor, their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and consultants (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee, all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation, and all costs resulting from any environmental problems) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, INCLUDING THE INDEMNITEE’S OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification.  IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 9.10 IS AN INDEMNITY BY THE BORROWER TO INDEMNIFY AND PROTECT THE INDEMNITEES FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS, BUT EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF INDEMNITEES.  The Borrower, upon demand by Bank at any time, shall reimburse Bank for any legal or other expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert or cause any Subsidiary to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.   

(b)The Borrower unconditionally agrees to forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, each Indemnitee for any damages, costs, loss or expense, including, response, remedial or removal costs and all fees  

54

726721136.8 18564250

and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee, arising out of any of the following:  (i) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (ii) the operation or violation of any Environmental Law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), and (iv) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by the Borrower or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for damages arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the relevant Indemnitee.  IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 9.10 IS AN INDEMNITY BY THE BORROWER TO INDEMNIFY AND PROTECT THE INDEMNITEES FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS, BUT EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF INDEMNITEES.

Set off.

  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank and each of its affiliates is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Bank or that affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) Bank shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 

Entire Agreement.

  THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES THERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  Any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.  

Governing Law.

  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Loan 

55

726721136.8 18564250

Document, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas.  

Severability of Provisions.

  Any provision of any Loan Document that is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.  

Excess Interest.

  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”).  If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that Bank may have received hereunder shall, at the option of Bank, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against Bank for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until Bank have received the amount of interest which Bank would have received during such period on the Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.  To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate applicable to Bank, Bank elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Construction.

  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times as the Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.  Nothing contained herein shall 

56

726721136.8 18564250

be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

(b)THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (a) OF THIS SECTION.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the 

58

726721136.8 18564250

Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank hereby authorizes the Borrower to make such disclosures in public filings pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act regarding the Loan Agreements and the terms thereof as the Borrower deems necessary.

SECTION 10.THE GUARANTEES. 

The Guarantees.

  To induce Bank to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrower by reason of the Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor party hereto (including any Guarantor executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or such other form reasonably acceptable to Bank) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to Bank and its Affiliates, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against the Borrower or such other obligor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against the Borrower or any such obligor in any such proceeding).  In case of failure by the Borrower or other obligor punctually to pay any Obligations guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or such obligor. 

Guarantees Unconditional.

  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 10 shall be joint and several, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:

(a)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise; 

(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability; 

(c)any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or  

59

726721136.8 18564250

discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

(d)the existence of any claim, setoff, or other rights which the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against Bank or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith; 

(e)any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property; 

(f)any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid; 

(g)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability; or 

(h)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Bank, the issuer of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 10. 

Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.

  Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have expired, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall have been paid in full in cash.  If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

Waivers; Subrogation.

  

(a)Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any  

60

726721136.8 18564250

action be taken by Bank or any other Person against the Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person. 

(b)Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full subsequent to the termination of all the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit.  If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents and (y) the termination of the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Bank (and its Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid to Bank (and its Affiliates) or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c)Bank may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 10.  If, in the exercise of any rights or remedies, Bank shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Guarantor consents to such action by Bank and waives any claim based upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that the Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action.   

Limit on Recovery.

  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Section 10 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10 void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

 Joint Enterprise.

  The Borrower and each Guarantor has requested that Bank make this credit facility available to the Borrower, in order to finance the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ business most efficiently and economically.  The Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the Borrower and the Guarantors believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of the Borrower and each Guarantor and ease the administration of their relationship with Bank, all to the mutual advantage of the Borrower and the Guarantors.  

Stay of Acceleration.

  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by Bank.

61

726721136.8 18564250

Guarantor Covenants.

  Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.

Subordination of Claims.

  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any claims it may have as a result of this Section 10, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have at any time against any other Guarantor, howsoever arising, to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

Subordination of Intercompany Obligations.

  

(a)Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that the payment of all indebtedness, principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy, or for the reorganization of any Guarantor), fees, charges, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other sum, obligation or liability owing by any other Guarantor to such Guarantor, including any intercompany trade payables or royalty or licensing fees (collectively, the “Intercompany Obligations”), is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 10.10, to the prior payment in full of all Obligations (herein, the “Senior Obligations”) and that the subordination is for the benefit of Bank, and Bank may enforce such provisions directly (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.10 shall prohibit any payment on any Intercompany Obligations so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 

(b)Each Guarantor hereby (i) authorizes Bank to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 10.10 whether or not any other Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when such Guarantor shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 10.10 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance. 

(c)Upon any distribution of assets of any Guarantor in any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) and subject to the provisions of Section 10.10: (i) Bank shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations before any Guarantor is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Obligations; (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any other Guarantor would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 10.10, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or Bank or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to Bank, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to Bank; or (iii) in the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.10 any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any other Guarantor on account of the Intercompany Obligations before all Senior Obligations are paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to Bank for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations until all  

62

726721136.8 18564250

of the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to Bank.

(d)No right of Bank or any other present or future holders of any Senior Obligations to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Guarantor with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 

Keepwell.

  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Borrower and each Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.11, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.11 shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.11 constitute, and this Section 10.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of the Borrower and each Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
