“Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate (which may be a SOFR-Based Rate) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the LIBO Rate for U.S. dollar- denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than 1.00% per annum, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 1.00% per annum for the purposes of this Agreement; provided further that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the LIBO Rate with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the LIBO Rate with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar- denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time (for the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall not be in the form of a reduction to the Applicable Rate).

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “CB Floating Rate,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

(2)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBO Screen Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBO Screen Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the LIBO Screen Rate, in each case which states that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the LIBO Screen Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBO Screen Rate; and/or

SECTION 1.05 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 2.14(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.14(c) of this Agreement, such Section 2.14(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(c), 

29

will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

SECTION 1.06 Pro Forma Adjustments for Acquisitions and Dispositions. To the extent the Borrower or any Subsidiary makes any acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 6.04 or disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business permitted by Section 6.05 during the period of four fiscal quarters of the Borrower most recently ended, the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including pro forma adjustments in the nature of cost savings and synergies arising out of events which are directly attributable to the acquisition or the disposition of assets, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case as determined on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as interpreted by the SEC, and as certified by a Financial Officer), as if such acquisition or such disposition (and any related incurrence, repayment or assumption of Indebtedness) had occurred in the first day of such four-quarter period.

SECTION 1.07 Status of Obligations.In the event that the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall at any time issue or have outstanding any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Borrower shall take or cause such other Loan Party to take all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Secured Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect of such Subordinated Indebtedness and to enable the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” and words of similar import under and in respect of any indenture or other agreement or instrument under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.08 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be 

31

an CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 [Section Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period, the Swingline Lender may agree, but shall have no obligation, to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding its Revolving Commitment, or (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by fax) or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, not later than noon, New York time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower, to the extent the Swingline Lender elects to make such Swingline Loan by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(b)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day no later than 4:00 p.m., New York time on such Business Day and if received after 11:00 a.m., New York time, “on a Business Day” shall mean no later than 9:00 a.m. New York time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the 

32

Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the support of any Subsidiary’s obligations as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (iii) if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(b)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower 

33

also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $2,500,000, (ii) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and the Issuing Bank agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by the Issuing Bank in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the Issuing Bank Sublimit of any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate LC Exposure set forth in clause (i) of this Section 2.06(b).

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination or non- renewal by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, including, without limitation, any automatic renewal provision, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than noon, New York time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received after 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof, and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), 

34

and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement 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 or herein, (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) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not 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. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders or the Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any 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 the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive 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 the Issuing 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 the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing 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, the Issuing 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.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by fax or through Electronic Systems) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is due; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing 

35

Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. (i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i) above.

(j)Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and all moneys or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent.

(k)LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

(l)Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued 

36

or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.

(a)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Term Loans shall be made as provided in Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent to the Funding Account(s); provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower 

37

were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, Electronic System or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request (including requests submitted through Electronic System) shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

		
	(iii)
	whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar

Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an CBFR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09 Termination, Reduction, and Increase of Commitments.

(a)Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term A Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Effective Date and (ii) all the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

(c)The Borrower  may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(d)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the 

38

Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(e)The Borrower shall have the right request increases in the Term A Loan or additional term loan facilities and/or increases in the Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution, provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two such requests, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the additional Commitments does not exceed $5,000,000 during the term of this Agreement, (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (vi) the procedures described in Section 2.09(g) below have been satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

(f)Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase or addition would cause the Revolving Commitments to exceed $5,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (2) no Default exists and (3) the Borrower is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 6.12 and (ii) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

(g)With respect to increases in the Revolving Commitment, on the effective date of any such increase or addition, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase or addition 

39

and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement.

(h)Any additional term loan facilities made pursuant thereto shall be in the form of and constitute a Loan that shall be made subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02) applicable to, and shall constitute and comprise a portion of, the Loans and Obligations and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.09(h), shall be on terms substantially consistent with, and no more favorable than, or to the extent not consistent (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.09(h)), on terms reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, those applicable to the Term A Loans. Any additional term loan facilities (A) subject to Section 2.10, shall be repaid as agreed to by Borrower and the Lenders providing such additional term loans, provided that the neither the maturity nor the weighted average life to maturity of the payments with respect thereto shall be shorter than any existing Term Loans; (B) shall for all purposes be Loans and Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents; and (C) shall rank pari passu with the other Term A Loans for purposes of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 hereof. Any additional term loans shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, the Applicable Margin with respect thereto) agreed upon by Borrower the Lenders providing such additional term loans therefor. With respect to additional term loan facilities and the Lenders providing the same, to the extent that the pricing (calculated based on the interest rate margins, upfront fees paid to such Lenders, original issue discount (calculated based on an assumed four year life to maturity), and any interest rate floor) applicable to any such additional term loan facilities is greater than the pricing (calculated based on the interest rate margin, upfront fees paid to the then existing Lenders, original issue discount (calculated based on an assumed four year life to maturity), and the interest rate floor) then applicable to the outstanding Term A Loans by more than 0.50%, then the interest rate margin and, if applicable, any interest rate floor for then outstanding Term A Loans shall be automatically increased to an amount which is 0.50% less than the pricing (calculated based on the interest rate margins, upfront fees paid to such Lenders providing additional term loans, original issue discount (calculated based on an assumed four year life to maturity), and any interest rate floor) for such additional term loans. In calculating the pricing for any series of Term A Loans, arrangement fees, underwriting fees, and similar fees that are not paid to all Lenders or all applicable Lenders shall be disregarded.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Revolving Loan shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

(b)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term A Lender on each date set forth below the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.11(d) or 2.18(b)):

(g)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

(d)All prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay the Term Loans (and in the event Term Loans of more than one Class shall be outstanding at the time, shall be allocated among the Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of each such Class) as so allocated, and shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Loans of each Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments and third to repay the outstanding LC Exposure (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding deposit cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess in accordance with Section 2.06(j)).

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing or Term Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing of any Class shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a)The Loans comprising each CBFR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans and Letter of Credit fees shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans and Letter of Credit fees as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or Section 2.12(b) or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to CBFR Borrowings.

43

(d)Accrued interest on each Loan (for CBFR Loans, accrued through the last day of the current calendar quarter) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an CBFR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

		
	(a)
	If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders through Electronic System as provided in Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an CBFR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark 

44

Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(e)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an CBFR Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; orimpose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; orsubject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such 

45

certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) or (d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(d), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a)Withholding Taxes; Gross-Up; Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c)Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the 

46

Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

		
	(ii)
	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is

a U.S. Person,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

47

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W- 8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C- 2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

g.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with 

48

respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

h.Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document (including the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations).

i.Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds, without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.    Any  amounts  received  after  such  time  on  any  date  may,  in  the  discretion  of  the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for  purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Floor L2, Suite IL1-0480, Chicago, IL, 60603-2300, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise provided for herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)Any proceeds of Collateral or any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and to pay any amounts owing in respect of Swap Agreement Obligations and Banking Services Obligations up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ratably (with amounts allocated to the Term Loans of any Class applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments), fifth, to pay an amount to the 

49

Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate LC Exposure, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and sixth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (ii) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding CBFR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative 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 Secured Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above and paid in clause sixth if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested from the applicable provider of such Banking Services or Swap Agreements.

(c)At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees, costs and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.05 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans), and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(d)If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the 

50

Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder. Application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

(g)The Administrative Agent may from time to time provide the Borrower with account statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations (the “Statements”). The Administrative Agent is under no duty or obligation to provide Statements, which, if provided, will be solely for the Borrower’s convenience. Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower pays the full amount indicated on a Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Statement, the Borrower shall not be in default of payment with respect to the billing period indicated on such Statement; provided, that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the total amount actually due at that time (including but not limited to any past due amounts) shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to receive payment in full at another time.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender) pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 

51

2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b)any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

52

(c)such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the Commitment and Revolving Exposure and, if applicable, Term Commitment and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(d)if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

i.all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;

ii.if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

iii.if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

		
	iv.
	if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause 

(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

v.if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(e)  so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(d), and Swingline Exposure related to any such newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to the Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline 

53

Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.21 Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Administrative 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 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion), 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22 Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that (and where applicable, agrees):

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational actions and, if required, actions by equity holders. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in 

54

equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the assets of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, except to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

(a)The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 reported on by BDO USA LLP, independent public accountants.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Authorization and Action.

(a)Each Lender, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b)As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner 

76

satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Bank with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c)In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank, any other Secured Party or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

(d)The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non- appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e)Any Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f)In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent 

77

(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.

(a)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or 

78

genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

SECTION 8.03 Posting of Communications.

(a)The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other Electronic System chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Bank and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR  STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, 

79

ANY ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d)Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Bank and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 8.04 The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans (including Swingline Loans) and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Bank”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.05 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor 

80

Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Collateral Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

SECTION 8.06 Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Bank.

(a)Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non- public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the 

81

Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date or the effective date of any such Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall have become a Lender hereunder.

(c)Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Administrative Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a 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 extension of credit 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; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

SECTION 8.07 Collateral Matters.

(a)Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute Secured Obligations and no Swap Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Banking Services or Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(b). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any  representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain 

82

any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 8.08 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(c)The Administrative Agent and each Arranger, Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agent hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Subject to Section 2.14(b), Section 2.14(c) and Section 9.02(c) below, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (unless otherwise expressly provided) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders (unless otherwise expressly provided); provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (subject to Section 2.13(c)), or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder (subject to Section 2.13(c)), without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby (except that any amendment or modification of the financial covenants in this Agreement (or defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (B)), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, 

86

The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.

(c)The Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the Payment in Full of all Secured Obligations, and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty or Obligation Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $500,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on one or more certificates of the Borrower as to the value of any Collateral to be so released, without further inquiry). Any 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 Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

(d)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each 

87

Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but has not been obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non- Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non- Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

89

be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in its capacity as such; provided further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this paragraph (d) shall relieve any Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Parent, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Person (other than a Lender) shall be an Ineligible Institution if after giving effect to any proposed assignment to such Person, such Person would hold more than 25% of the then outstanding Aggregate Credit Exposure or Commitments, as the case may be or (d) a Loan Party or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan Party.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and 

91

obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.17(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 2.17(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under  Sections 2.15 or  2.17 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender  would  have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

92

Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) increases or reductions of the Issuing Bank Sublimit of the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 

93

or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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, and other obligations at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Secured Obligations owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Loan Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff or application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board) for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.

Each Lender hereby appoints each other  Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control.

SECTION 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with 

96

all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.18 No Fiduciary Duty, etc. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 9.19 Marketing Consent. The Borrower hereby authorizes JPM and its affiliates (collectively, the “JPM Parties”), at their respective sole expense, but without any prior approval by the Borrower, to publish such tombstones and give such other publicity to this Agreement as each may from time to time determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing authorization shall remain in effect unless the Borrower notifies JPM in writing that such authorization is revoked.

SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; 

97

and

		
	(b)
	the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

		
	(i)
	a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.21 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

ARTICLE X

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01    Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Loan Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Loan Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor for purposes of 

98

determining any obligations of any Loan Guarantor). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02    Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor of, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03    No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a)Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b)The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c)Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04    Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of 

99

the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05    Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06    Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.07    Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08    Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrower based on this Loan Guaranty until five (5) days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of Default that shall exist under clause (o) of Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination.

SECTION 10.09    Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

SECTION 10.10    Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any 

100

applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transaction Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

SECTION 10.11    Contribution.

(a)To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s  “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

(c)This Section 10.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.11 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty.

(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12    Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION 10.13    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 each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.13 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified 

101

ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant’s purchase price, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated
portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares
of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled

consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders
of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting regular, periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair
Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject
to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, the Award limits set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and in the exercise or purchase
price per share under any outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the
Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares
that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership
Change Event) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may unilaterally amend the outstanding
Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and
the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined
by the Committee, in its discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole number and the exercise or purchase price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. In
no event may the exercise or purchase price, if any, under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any,
of the stock subject to such Award. The Committee in its discretion, may also make such adjustments in the terms of any Award
to reflect, or related to, such changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate, including
modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award Formulas and Performance Periods. The adjustments determined by the Committee
pursuant to this Section shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 

4.4 Assumption
or Substitution of Awards. The Committee may, without affecting the number of shares of Stock reserved or available hereunder,
authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of
property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with Section
409A and any other applicable provisions of the Code.

year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion of such options which
exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive
Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be
determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation
different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the
date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive
Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant
may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant
shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, shares
issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.

 

5.4 Nonemployee
Director Award Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value
(computed as of the date of grant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) of all Awards
granted to any Nonemployee Director during any fiscal year of the Company, taken together with any cash compensation paid to such
Nonemployee Director for services rendered for such fiscal year, shall not exceed $300,000; provided, however, that the limitation
described in this Section shall be determined without regard to amounts paid to a Nonemployee Director during any period in which
such individual was an employee or consultant (other than payments for service in their capacity as a Nonemployee Director), and
any severance and other payments such as consulting fees paid to a Nonemployee Director for such director’s prior or current
service to the Company or any Subsidiary other than serving as a director shall not be taken into account in applying the limit
provided above. For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation that is deferred shall be counted toward this limit for the year
in which it was first earned, and not when paid or settled if later.

 

6. Stock
Options.

 

Options
shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Committee
shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with
and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

6.1 Exercise
Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that
(a) the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant
of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price
less than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another
option in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A or Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

    10

     

    

 

6.2 Exercisability
and Term of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms,
conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement
evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after
the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be exercisable
after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (c) no Option granted to an Employee
who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until
at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such Option (except in the event of such Employee’s death, disability
or retirement, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing,
unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, each Option shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective
date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

 

6.3 Payment
of Exercise Price.

 

(a) Forms
of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent; (ii) if permitted by
the Committee and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.3(b), by means of (1) a Cashless Exercise, (2) a Stock Tender
Exercise or (3) a Net Exercise; (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the
extent permitted by applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant
Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise
restrict one or more forms of consideration.

 

(b) Limitations
on Forms of Consideration.

 

(i) Cashless
Exercise. A “Cashless Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect
to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise
complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish,
decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including
with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available
to other Participants.

 

(ii) Stock
Tender Exercise. A “Stock Tender Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
accompanied by a Participant’s tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, in a form acceptable to the Company
of whole shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price
for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. A Stock Tender Exercise shall not be permitted if it would constitute
a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock. If
required by the Company, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of
Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for a period of time required by the Company (and not used
for another option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

 

(iii) Net
Exercise. A “Net Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice followed by
a procedure pursuant to which (1) the Company will reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise
of an Option by the largest whole number of shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price
for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (2) the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining
balance of such aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued.

 

    11

     

    

 

6.4 Effect
of Termination of Service.

 

(a) Option
Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless otherwise provided
by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination
of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service
to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter
shall terminate.

 

(i) Disability.
If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised
and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant
(or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such
longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated,
but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing
such Option (the “Option Expiration Date”).

 

(ii) Death.
If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s
legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death
at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after
the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant’s
Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (3) months (or such longer
or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the Participant’s termination of Service.

 

(iii) Termination
for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated
for Cause or if, following the Participant’s termination of Service and during any period in which the Option otherwise
would remain exercisable, the Participant engages in any act that would constitute Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety
and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service or act.

 

(iv) Other
Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the
Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated,
may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period
provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later
than the Option Expiration Date.

 

(b) Extension
if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise
of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.4(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 14 below,
the Option shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer
be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Section 6.4(a), but in any event no later
than the Option Expiration Date.

 

6.5 Transferability
of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s
guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except
transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee,
in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, an Option shall be assignable or transferable
subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act or,
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, only as permitted by applicable regulations under Section 421 of the Code in a manner
that does not disqualify such Option as an Incentive Stock Option; provided however than an Option shall never be transferrable
to a third party financial institution for value.

 

    12

     

    

 

6.6 Deemed
Exercise of Options. If, on the date on which an Option would otherwise expire at the end of its maximum term, the Option
by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior to such expiration and the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Option
is greater than the exercise price, then any portion of such Option which has not previously been exercised shall automatically
be deemed to be exercised as of such expiration date with respect to such portion.

 

7. Stock
Appreciation Rights.

 

Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such
form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference
and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

7.1 Types
of SARs Authorized. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option (a “Tandem SAR”)
or may be granted independently of any Option (a “Freestanding SAR”). A Tandem SAR may only be granted
concurrently with the grant of the related Option.

 

7.2 Exercise
Price. The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a)
the exercise price per share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option and (b) the
exercise price per share subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
effective date of grant of the SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an SAR may be granted with an exercise price lower than the
minimum exercise price set forth above if such SAR is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock appreciation
right in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

 

7.3 Exercisability
and Term of SARs.

 

(a) Tandem
SARs. Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option
is exercisable, subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the Tandem SAR is granted with respect to less than
the full number of shares of Stock subject to the related Option. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement
evidencing a Tandem SAR that such SAR may not be exercised without the advance approval of the Company and, if such approval is
not given, then the Option shall nevertheless remain exercisable in accordance with its terms. A Tandem SAR shall terminate and
cease to be exercisable no later than the date on which the related Option expires or is terminated or canceled. Upon the exercise
of a Tandem SAR with respect to some or all of the shares subject to such SAR, the related Option shall be canceled automatically
as to the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR was exercised. Upon the exercise of an Option related to a Tandem
SAR as to some or all of the shares subject to such Option, the related Tandem SAR shall be canceled automatically as to the number
of shares with respect to which the related Option was exercised.

 

(b) Freestanding
SARs. Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such
terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement
evidencing such SAR; provided, however, that (i) no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
after the effective date of grant of such SAR and (ii) no Freestanding SAR granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee
for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following
the date of grant of such SAR (except in the event of such Employee’s death, disability or retirement, upon a Change in
Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified
by the Committee in the grant of a Freestanding SAR, each Freestanding SAR shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective
date of grant of the SAR, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

 

    13

     

    

 

7.4 Exercise
of SARs. Upon the exercise (or deemed exercise pursuant to Section 7.5) of an SAR, the Participant (or the Participant’s
legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the SAR by reason of the Participant’s death) shall
be entitled to receive payment of an amount for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised equal to the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price. Payment of such
amount shall be made (a) in the case of a Tandem SAR, solely in shares of Stock in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the
SAR and (b) in the case of a Freestanding SAR, in cash, shares of Stock, or any combination thereof as determined by the Committee,
in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the SAR. When payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be
issued shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR. For purposes
of Section 7, an SAR shall be deemed exercised on the date on which the Company receives notice of exercise from the Participant
or as otherwise provided in Section 7.5.

 

7.5 Deemed
Exercise of SARs. If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise terminate or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable
immediately prior to such termination or expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR,
then any portion of such SAR which has not previously been exercised shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such
date with respect to such portion.

 

7.6 Effect
of Termination of Service. Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided
by the Committee, an SAR shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only to the extent and during
the applicable time period determined in accordance with Section 6.4 (treating the SAR as if it were an Option) and thereafter
shall terminate.

 

7.7 Transferability
of SARs. During the lifetime of the Participant, an SAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s
guardian or legal representative. An SAR shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except
transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee,
in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award, a Tandem SAR related to a Nonstatutory Stock Option
or a Freestanding SAR shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General
Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act; provided, however, than an SAR shall never be transferrable to a third party
financial institution for value.

 

8. Restricted
Stock Awards.

 

Restricted
Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying whether the Award is a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock
Purchase Right and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award
Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

 

8.1 Types
of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted in the form of either a Restricted Stock Bonus
or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine,
including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant
of or satisfaction of Vesting Conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one
or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3
through 10.5(a).

 

8.2 Purchase
Price. The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be established by
the Committee in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition
of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered
to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the
Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit
having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

 

    14

     

    

 

8.3 Purchase
Period. A Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be exercisable within a period established by the Committee, which shall in
no event exceed thirty (30) days from the effective date of the grant of the Restricted Stock Purchase Right.

 

8.4 Payment
of Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the purchase price for the number of shares of Stock being
purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such
other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by
any combination thereof.

 

8.5 Vesting
and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting
Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including,
without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in
the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain
subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of
other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event or as provided in Section 8.8. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide
in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any
shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the
provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on
the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy. Upon request by the Company,
each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder
and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement
on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

 

8.6 Voting
Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section, Section 8.5 and any Award Agreement, during any period
in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall have
all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive
all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares; provided, however, that such dividends and distributions
shall be accumulated/accrued and shall be subject to the same Vesting Conditions and risks of forfeiture as the shares subject
to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid. In the event of a dividend or distribution
paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as
described in Section 4.3, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic
cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately
subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends
or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

 

8.7 Effect
of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock
Award or otherwise, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the
Participant’s death or disability), then (a) the Company shall have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid
by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Right which remain subject to
Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and (b) the Participant shall forfeit to the
Company any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus which remain subject to Vesting Conditions
as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase
right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

 

    15

     

    

 

8.8 Nontransferability
of Restricted Stock Award Rights. Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be subject
in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors
of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All
rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime
only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

 

9. Restricted
Stock Units.

 

Restricted
Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award,
in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference
and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

9.1 Grant
of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine,
including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant
of a Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be contingent upon the attainment
of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections
10.3 through 10.5(a).

 

9.2 Purchase
Price. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving a
Restricted Stock Unit Award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for
its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration
in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par
value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

 

9.3 Vesting.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service
requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described
in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.

 

9.4 Voting
Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock
represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent
Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and
ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which
it is terminated. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with a cash amount or with additional
whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock, as determined by the Committee. The number
of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number), if any, to be credited shall be determined by dividing
(a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by
the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date.
Such cash amount or additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions and same risks
of forfeiture, and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to
the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other
adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall
be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any
and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the
Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted
or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the
Award.

 

    16

     

    

 

9.5 Effect
of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted
Stock Unit Award or otherwise, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including
the Participant’s death or disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant
to the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

 

9.6 Settlement
of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units subject
to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee in compliance with
Section 409A, if applicable, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or any other new, substituted or
additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 9.4) for each Restricted Stock Unit then
becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes, if any. The Committee,
in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award that if the settlement date with
respect to any shares issuable upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such
shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then the settlement date shall be deferred until the next
trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy but in any event no later than the
15th day of the third calendar month following the year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest. If permitted by
the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion
of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred issuance
date(s) and amount(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in a deferral agreement as provided by the Company or in the
Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for settlement of any Restricted
Stock Unit Award by payment to the Participant in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the payment date of the
shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section.

 

9.7 Nontransferability
of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The right to receive shares pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be subject
in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors
of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or
her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

 

10. Performance
Awards.

 

Performance
Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate
all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

10.1 Types
of Performance Awards Authorized. Performance Awards may be granted in the form of either Performance Shares or Performance
Units. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units
subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the
other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

 

10.2 Initial
Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award,
each Performance Share shall have an initial monetary value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, on the effective date of grant of the Performance Share, and each Performance Unit shall
have an initial monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant. The final value payable to the Participant in
settlement of a Performance Award determined on the basis of the applicable Performance Award Formula will depend on the extent
to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the
Committee.

 

    17

     

    

 

10.3 Establishment
of Performance Period, Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula. In granting each Performance Award, the Committee
shall establish in writing the applicable Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance Goals which,
when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on the basis of the Performance Award Formula the final value
of the Performance Award to be paid to the Participant. The Company shall notify each Participant granted a Performance Award
of the terms of such Award, including the Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula.

 

10.4 Measurement
of Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained (“Performance
Targets”) with respect to one or more measures of business, financial or individual performance (each, a “Performance
Measure”), subject to the following:

 

(a) Performance
Measures. Performance Measures shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, or, if
such measures are not reported in the Company’s financial statements, they shall be calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a method used generally in the Company’s industry, or in accordance with a methodology established
by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award. As specified by the Committee, Performance Measures may be calculated
with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Corporation consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes, one or more
Subsidiary Corporations or such division or other business unit of any of them selected by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award, the Performance Measures applicable to the Performance Award shall
be calculated prior to the accrual of expense for any Performance Award for the same Performance Period. The Committee may provide
for exclusion of the impact of an event or occurrence which the Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including
any change in accounting standards or any unusual or infrequently occurring event or transaction, as determined by the Committee,
occurring after the establishment of the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Award. Performance Measures may be based
upon one or more of the following, as determined by the Committee:

 

(i) revenue;

 

(ii) sales;

 

(iii) expenses;

 

(iv) operating
income;

 

(v) gross
margin;

 

(vi) operating
margin;

 

(vii) earnings
before any one or more of: stock-based compensation expense, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization;

 

(viii) pre-tax
profit;

 

(ix) net
operating income;

 

(x) net
income;

 

(xi) economic
value added;

 

    18

     

    

 

(xii) free
cash flow;

 

(xiii) operating
cash flow;

 

(xiv) balance
of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities;

 

(xv) stock
price;

 

(xvi) earnings
per share;

 

(xvii) return
on stockholder equity;

 

(xviii) return
on capital;

 

(xix) return
on assets;

 

(xx) return
on investment;

 

(xxi) total
stockholder return;

 

(xxii) employee
satisfaction;

 

(xxiii) employee
retention;

 

(xxiv) market
share;

 

(xxv) customer
satisfaction;

 

(xxvi) product
development;

 

(xxvii) research
and development expenses;

 

(xxviii) completion
of an identified special project;

 

(xxix) completion
of a joint venture or other corporate transaction; and

 

(xxx) any
other metric as determined by the Committee.

 

(b) Performance
Targets. Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum, target level and intermediate levels of performance, with
the final value of a Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance Award Formula by the Performance Target level
attained during the applicable Performance Period. A Performance Target may be stated as an absolute value, an increase or
decrease in a value, or as a value determined relative to an index, budget or other standard selected by the Committee.

 

10.5 Settlement
of Performance Awards.

 

(a) Determination
of Final Value. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance
Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the
resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance with the applicable
Performance Award Formula.

 

    19

     

    

 

(b) Discretionary
Adjustment of Award Formula. In its discretion, the Committee may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or
at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award Formula applicable to a Performance
Award granted to any Participant to reflect such Participant’s individual performance in his or her position with the Company
or such other factors as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall have the discretion, on the basis of such criteria as
may be established by the Committee, to increase or reduce some or all of the value of the Performance Award that would otherwise
be paid to the Participant upon its settlement notwithstanding the attainment of any Performance Goal and the resulting value
of the Performance Award determined in accordance with the Performance Award Formula.

 

(c) Effect
of Leaves of Absence. Unless otherwise required by law or a Participant’s Award Agreement, payment of the final
value, if any, of a Performance Award held by a Participant who has taken in excess of thirty (30) days in unpaid leaves of absence
during a Performance Period shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days of the Participant’s Service during the
Performance Period during which the Participant was not on an unpaid leave of absence.

 

(d) Notice
to Participants. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance
with Sections 10.5(a) and (b), the Company shall notify each Participant of the determination of the Committee.

 

(e) Payment
in Settlement of Performance Awards. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and certification
in accordance with Sections 10.5(a) and (b), but in any event within the Short-Term Deferral Period described in Section 15.1
(except as otherwise provided below or consistent with the requirements of Section 409A), payment shall be made to each eligible
Participant (or such Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to receive such payment by
reason of the Participant’s death) of the final value of the Participant’s Performance Award. Payment of such amount
shall be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in
the Award Agreement (or applicable deferral election agreement) evidencing a Performance Award, payment shall be made in a lump
sum. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt
of all or any portion of the payment to be made to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred payment date(s)
elected by the Participant shall be set forth in a deferral agreement provided by the Company or the Award Agreement. If any payment
is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for the payment during the deferral
period of Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest.

 

(f) Provisions
Applicable to Payment in Shares. If payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of such shares shall be determined
by dividing the final value of the Performance Award by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock determined by the method specified
in the Award Agreement. Shares of Stock issued in payment of any Performance Award may be fully vested and freely transferable
shares or may be shares of Stock subject to Vesting Conditions as provided in Section 8.5. Any shares subject to Vesting Conditions
shall be evidenced by an appropriate Award Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.5 through 8.8 above.

 

10.6 Voting
Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock
represented by Performance Share Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion,
may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent
Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date the Award is granted and
ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date on which the Performance Shares are settled
or the date on which they are forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be credited to the Participant either
in cash or in the form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock, as determined
by the Committee. The number of additional Performance Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number), if any, to be so credited
shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number
of shares of Stock represented by the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per
share of Stock on such date. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be accumulated and paid to the extent that the related
Performance Shares become nonforfeitable. Settlement of Dividend Equivalent Rights may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a
combination thereof as determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance
Share as provided in Section 10.5. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be paid with respect to Performance Units. In the
event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the
capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s
Performance Share Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason
of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities
or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Performance Goals as are applicable to the Award.

 

    20

     

    

 

10.7 Effect
of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance
Award or otherwise, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as follows:

 

(a) Death
or Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death or Disability of the Participant before
the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the final value of the Participant’s Performance
Award shall be determined by the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with respect to the entire
Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the Participant’s Service during the Performance
Period. Payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 10.5.

 

(b) Other
Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason except death or Disability before
the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, such Award shall be forfeited in its entirety; provided,
however, that in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s Service, the Committee, in its discretion,
may waive the automatic forfeiture of all or any portion of any such Award and determine the final value of the Performance Award.
Payment of any amount pursuant to this Section shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted
by Section 10.5.

 

10.8 Nontransferability
of Performance Awards. Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject
in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors
of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
All rights with respect to a Performance Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime
only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

 

11. Cash-Based
Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.

 

Cash-Based
Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such
Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

 

11.1 Grant
of Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Cash-Based
Awards to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions, including the achievement of performance criteria,
as the Committee may determine.

 

11.2 Grant
of Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described
by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted securities, stock-equivalent units, stock appreciation
units, securities or debentures convertible into common stock or other forms determined by the Committee) in such amounts and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Other Stock-Based Awards may be made available as a form
of payment in the settlement of other Awards or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled.
Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Stock to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of
amounts based on the value of Stock and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the
applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

 

    21

     

    

 

11.3 Value
of Cash-Based and Other Stock-Based Awards. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a monetary payment amount or payment range
as determined by the Committee. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of shares of Stock or units based on
such shares of Stock, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may require the satisfaction of such Service requirements,
conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4,
as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. If the Committee exercises
its discretion to establish performance criteria, the final value of Cash-Based Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards that will be
paid to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance criteria are met. The establishment of performance
criteria with respect to the grant or vesting of any Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based
Compensation shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 10.

 

11.4 Payment
or Settlement of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Payment or settlement, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based
Award or an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash, shares of Stock or other
securities or any combination thereof as the Committee determines. The determination and certification of the final value with
respect to any Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation shall comply with
the requirements applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 10. To the extent applicable, payment or settlement with
respect to each Cash-Based Award and Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.

 

11.5 Voting
Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock
represented by Other Stock-Based Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares of Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), if any, in settlement of such Award.
However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Other Stock-Based Award that the
Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the
period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier
of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid
in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.4. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be granted with respect to Cash-Based
Awards. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon
a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s
Other Stock-Based Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason
of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of such Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other
property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions and performance criteria, if any, as are applicable to the
Award.

 

11.6 Effect
of Termination of Service. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award shall set forth the
extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain such Award following termination of the Participant’s Service.
Such provisions shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Cash-Based Awards or Other
Stock-Based Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination, subject to the requirements of Section
409A, if applicable.

 

11.7 Nontransferability
of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Prior to the payment or settlement of a Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based
Award, the Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any shares of Stock issued in
settlement of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, minimum
holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange
or market upon which such shares of Stock are then listed and/or traded, or under any state securities laws or foreign law applicable
to such shares of Stock.

 

    22

     

    

 

12. Standard
Forms of Award Agreement.

 

12.1 Award
Agreements. Each Award shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Award
Agreement approved by the Committee and as amended from time to time. No Award or purported Award shall be a valid and binding
obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, which execution may be evidenced by electronic
means.

 

12.2 Authority
to Vary Terms. The Committee shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement
either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in connection with the authorization of a new standard
form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of
Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

 

13. Change
in Control.

 

13.1 Effect
of Change in Control on Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the definitive
agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the Change in Control. Subject to the requirements and limitations of
Section 409A, if applicable, the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

 

(a) Accelerated
Vesting. In its discretion, the Committee may provide in the grant of any Award or at any other time may take such action
as it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability, vesting and/or settlement in connection with a Change
in Control of each or any outstanding Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including
termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following the Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee
determines.

 

(b) Assumption,
Continuation or Substitution. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the
consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each or any Award or portion thereof
outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof
a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquiror’s stock, as applicable. For purposes of this Section, if so
determined by the Committee in its discretion, an Award denominated in shares of Stock shall be deemed assumed if, following the
Change in Control, the Award confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable
Award Agreement, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether
stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date
of the Change in Control was entitled (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely
common stock of the Acquiror, the Committee may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received
upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to consist solely of common stock
of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change
in Control. Any Award or portion thereof which is neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in
Control nor exercised or settled as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding
effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

 

    23

     

    

 

(c) Cash-Out
of Outstanding Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine
that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award denominated in shares of Stock or portion thereof outstanding
immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously exercised or settled shall be canceled in exchange for a payment
with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled
Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or
(iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value
of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase
price per share, if any, under such Award. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, an Award having an exercise
or purchase price per share equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock
in the Change in Control may be canceled without payment of consideration to the holder thereof. Payment pursuant to this Section
(reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be made to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled
Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled
Awards in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards.

 

13.2 Effect
of Change in Control on Nonemployee Director Awards. Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable,
including as provided by Section 15.4(f), in the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Nonemployee Director Award shall
become immediately exercisable and vested in full and, except to the extent assumed, continued or substituted for pursuant to
Section 13.1(b), shall be settled effective immediately prior to the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

 

13.3 Federal
Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

(a) Excess
Parachute Payment. If any acceleration of vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or benefit received or to
be received by a Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization
of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code,
then, provided such election would not subject the Participant to taxation under Section 409A, the Participant may elect to reduce
the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under the Award in order to avoid such characterization.

 

(b) Determination
by Tax Firm. To aid the Participant in making any election called for under Section 13.3(a), no later than the date of
the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in an “excess parachute payment” to the
Participant as described in Section 13.3(a), the Company shall request a determination in writing by the professional firm engaged
by the Company for general tax purposes, or, if the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for
the Acquiror, the Company will appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section (the
“Tax Firm”). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Tax Firm shall determine and report to the Company and
the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit
to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Tax Firm may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning
the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Tax Firm such information
and documents as the Tax Firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The Company shall bear all fees
and expenses the Tax Firm charges in connection with its services contemplated by this Section.

 

14. Compliance
with Securities Law.

 

The
grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements
of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system
upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a)
a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to
the shares issuable pursuant to the Award, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant
to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by
the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the
Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not
have been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications
that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation
or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

 

    24

     

    

 

15. Compliance
with Section 409A.

 

15.1 Awards
Subject to Section 409A. The Company intends that Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall either be exempt from or comply
with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be so construed. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to any Award or portion thereof
that constitutes or provides for payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation. Such Awards may include, without limitation:

 

(a) A
Nonstatutory Stock Option or SAR that includes any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition
of income until the later of (i) the exercise or disposition of the Award or (ii) the time the stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of the Award first becomes substantially vested.

 

(b) Any
Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Award, Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award that either (i) provides by its terms
for settlement of all or any portion of the Award at a time or upon an event that will or may occur later than the end of the
Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined below) or (ii) permits the Participant granted the Award to elect one or more dates or
events upon which the Award will be settled after the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period.

 

Subject
to the provisions of Section 409A, the term “Short-Term Deferral Period” means the 21⁄2 month period
ending on the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s taxable year
in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the right to
payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. For this purpose,
the term “substantial risk of forfeiture” shall have the meaning provided by Section 409A.

 

15.2 Deferral
and/or Distribution Elections. Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, the following rules shall apply
to any compensation deferral and/or payment elections (each, an “Election”) that may be permitted or required
by the Committee pursuant to an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation:

 

(a) Elections
must be in writing and specify the amount of the payment in settlement of an Award being deferred, as well as the time and form
of payment as permitted by this Plan.

 

(b) Elections
shall be made by the end of the Participant’s taxable year prior to the year in which services commence for which an Award
may be granted to the Participant.

 

(c) Elections
shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation
or change in Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the Election determined in accordance with
paragraph (b) above or as permitted by Section 15.3.

 

15.3 Subsequent
Elections. Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, any Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation
which permits a subsequent Election to delay the payment or change the form of payment in settlement of such Award shall comply
with the following requirements:

 

(a) No
subsequent Election may take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the subsequent Election is made.

 

    25

     

    

 

(b) Each
subsequent Election related to a payment in settlement of an Award not described in Section 15.4(a)(ii), 15.4(a)(iii) or
15.4(a)(vi) must result in a delay of the payment for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date on which such
payment would otherwise have been made.

 

(c) No
subsequent Election related to a payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(iv) shall be made less than twelve (12) months before the
date on which such payment would otherwise have been made.

 

(d) Subsequent
Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in the subsequent Election is received by the Company,
except that a written revocation or change in a subsequent Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for
making the subsequent Election determined in accordance the preceding paragraphs of this Section 15.3.

 

15.4 Payment
of Section 409A Deferred Compensation.

 

(a) Permissible
Payments. Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation
must provide for payment in settlement of the Award only upon one or more of the following:

 

(i) The
Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A);

 

(ii) The
Participant’s becoming “disabled” (as defined by Section 409A);

 

(iii) The
Participant’s death;

 

(iv) A
time or fixed schedule that is either (i) specified by the Committee upon the grant of an Award and set forth in the Award Agreement
evidencing such Award or (ii) specified by the Participant in an Election complying with the requirements of Section 15.2 or 15.3,
as applicable;

 

(v) A
change in the ownership or effective control or the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the
Company determined in accordance with Section 409A; or

 

(vi) The
occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined by Section 409A).

 

(b) Installment
Payments. It is the intent of this Plan that any right of a Participant to receive installment payments (within the meaning
of Section 409A) shall, for all purposes of Section 409A, be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

 

(c) Required
Delay in Payment to Specified Employee Pursuant to Separation from Service. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
or an Award Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, no payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(i)
in settlement of an Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation may be made to a Participant who is a “specified
employee” (as defined by Section 409A) as of the date of the Participant’s separation from service before the date
(the “Delayed Payment Date”) that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation from
service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become
payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

 

(d) Payment
Upon Disability. All distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation payable pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(ii) by reason
of a Participant becoming disabled shall be paid in a lump sum or in periodic installments as established by the Participant’s
Election. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon becoming
disabled, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon the determination that the Participant has become disabled.

 

    26

     

    

 

(e) Payment
Upon Death. If a Participant dies before complete distribution of amounts payable upon settlement of an Award subject
to Section 409A, such undistributed amounts shall be distributed to his or her beneficiary under the distribution method for death
established by the Participant’s Election upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant’s
death. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon death,
all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the
Participant’s death.

 

(f) Payment
Upon Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent
that any amount constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation would become payable under this Plan by reason of a Change in
Control, such amount shall become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in
ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
within the meaning of Section 409A.

 

(g) Payment
Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee shall have the authority to provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any
Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation for payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(vi) in settlement of all or a portion
of such Award in the event that a Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Committee, the occurrence of an unforeseeable
emergency. In such event, the amount(s) distributed with respect to such unforeseeable emergency cannot exceed the amounts reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency need plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution(s),
after taking into account the extent to which such emergency need is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation
by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would
not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Award. All distributions with respect to an
unforeseeable emergency shall be made in a lump sum upon the Committee’s determination that an unforeseeable emergency has
occurred. The Committee’s decision with respect to whether an unforeseeable emergency has occurred and the manner in which,
if at all, the payment in settlement of an Award shall be altered or modified, shall be final, conclusive, and not subject to
approval or appeal.

 

(h) Prohibition
of Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, this Plan
does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation,
except as permitted by Section 409A.

 

(i) No
Representation Regarding Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company makes no
representation that Awards shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. No Participating Company shall be liable for any
tax, penalty or interest imposed on a Participant by Section 409A.

 

16. Tax
Withholding.

 

16.1 Tax
Withholding in General. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require
the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local
and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect
to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release
shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until
the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

 

16.2 Withholding
in or Directed Sale of Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock
issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number
of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding
obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such
tax withholding obligations shall not exceed an amount that would trigger adverse accounting consequences or costs, as determined
by the Committee and in accordance with Company policies; provided, however, that any shares of Stock withheld in excess of the
minimum statutory rate shall not be added back to the share reserve and shall not be available for new grants under the Plan as
otherwise contemplated by Section 4.2. The Company may require a Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting, exercise or
settlement of an Award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Award determined by the Company in its discretion to be
sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding
obligations to such Participating Company in cash.

 

    27

     

    

 

17. Amendment,
Suspension or Termination of Plan.

 

The
Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders,
there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by
operation of the provisions of Section 4) (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and
(c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation
or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted. No amendment,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Committee. Except
as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may have a materially adverse effect on
any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award
Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant,
amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose
of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including,
but not limited to, Section 409A.

 

18. Miscellaneous
Provisions.

 

18.1 Repurchase
Rights. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions
as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign
at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be
selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions
prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing
shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer
restrictions.

 

18.2 Forfeiture
Events.

 

(a) The
Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award
shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to
any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to,
termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute
Cause for termination of Service, or any accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial
reporting requirements of securities laws as a result of which, and to the extent that, such reduction, cancellation, forfeiture,
or recoupment is required by applicable securities laws.

 

(b) If
the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of
misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who knowingly or through gross
negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, or any Participant
who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse
the Company for (i) the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award received by such Participant during the twelve- (12-)
month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever
first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) any profits realized by such
Participant from the sale of securities of the Company during such twelve- (12-) month period.

 

    28

     

    

 

18.3 Provision
of Information. Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information
generally made available to the Company’s common stockholders.

 

18.4 Rights
as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected
as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted
under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit
in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an
Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood
or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with
the Company.

 

18.5 Rights
as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until
the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 or another provision of the Plan.

 

18.6 Delivery
of Title to Shares. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares
of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one
or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account
of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant
has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

 

18.7 Fractional
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

 

18.8 Retirement
and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included
as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company’s
retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such
compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.

 

18.9 Beneficiary
Designation. Subject to local laws and procedures, each Participant may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary
who is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in the event of such Participant’s death
before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant,
shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company
during the Participant’s lifetime. If a married Participant designates a beneficiary other than the Participant’s
spouse, the effectiveness of such designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant’s spouse. If a Participant
dies without an effective designation of a beneficiary who is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Company
will pay any remaining unpaid benefits to the Participant’s legal representative.

 

18.10 Severability.
If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

    29

     

    

 

18.11 No
Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s
or another Participating Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of
its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such
entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

 

18.12 Unfunded
Obligation. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants
pursuant to the Plan shall be considered unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title
I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from
its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall
retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill
its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall
not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a Participant,
or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of
any Participating Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value
of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

 

18.13 Choice
of Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance
of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of
law rules.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies that the foregoing sets forth The Lovesac Company Amended
and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan as duly adopted by the Board and effective on June 4, 2020.
