(iii)    will not violate any Sanctions and Applicable Law or any Organization Documents of any Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any order of any Governmental Authority; 
(iv)    will not violate or result in a default under any Material Contract, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary; and

Section 6.    Counterparts.  This Amendment and Restatement Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

Section 7.    Headings.  The headings of this Amendment and Restatement Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 8.    Governing Law.  UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.
Section 9.    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law.

Section 10.    Effect of Amendment.  Except as expressly set forth herein, (i) this Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders and Agent, in each case under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Except as expressly set forth herein, each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Each of the Obligors hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges, grants of security interests and other obligations, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that such guarantees, pledges, grants of security interests and other obligations, and the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, are not impaired or affected in any manner whatsoever and shall continue to be in full force and effect.  Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its 

-6-

    

obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Agreement.  This Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document from and after the Effective Date, all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and Restatement Agreement.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Amendment and Restatement Agreement and confirms that all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
Section 11.    Release.  Effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Agent, for and on behalf of the Secured Parties, confirms that (i) any and all Liens and security interests in favor of the Agent and the Secured Parties and otherwise arising in connection with the Loan on each Property indicated on Schedule 1.1(C) to be released, are hereby automatically released, discharged and of no further effect and (ii) Agent, for and on behalf of the Secured Parties will (and hereby authorizes the Agent's counsel and the Borrower to), at the Borrower’s expense, promptly file customary releases of mortgages and deliver such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Borrower to effectuate such releases (including, without limitation, appropriate UCC termination statements).

	interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, an eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate; and

		
	(4)
	interest on any Debt under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during the applicable period.

Any pro forma calculation may include, without limitation, adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act; provided that any such adjustments that consist of reductions in costs and other 

-44-

operating improvements or synergies (whether added pursuant to this definition, the definition “Pro Forma Cost Savings” or otherwise added to Consolidated Net Income or EBITDA) shall be calculated in accordance with, and satisfy the requirements specified in, the definition of “Pro Forma Cost Savings.”

1.6    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

SECTION 2.  CREDIT FACILITY

2.1    Loans. 
2.1.1    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, each Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have made a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to the 2020 Amended Term Loan amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.1.  The 2020 Amended Term Loans are deemed to be issued on the Effective Date, together with the Specified Equity Interests, for the release and discharge of the Initial Loans of such Consenting Lender outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of such date, and a pro rata portion of the Initial Loans outstanding as of such date shall be fully converted into (and re-evidenced and refinanced by) the 2020 Amended Term Loans and the remaining portion of the Initial Loans shall be deemed satisfied and exchanged for the Specified Equity Interests, pursuant to the RSA, the Amendment and Restatement Agreement and the Exchange Agreement.  Amounts deemed borrowed under this Section ‎2.1.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 2020 Amended Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as further provided herein. As of the Effective Date, the 2020 Amended Term Loans will be LIBOR Loans with an interest period of six months.
2.1.2    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, each Consenting Lender agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to the 2020 New Term Loan amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.1.  Amounts borrowed under this Section ‎2.1.2 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 2020 New Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as further provided herein. As of the Effective Date, the 2020 New Term Loans will be LIBOR Loans with an interest period of six months. The 2020 New Term Loans and the 2020 Amended Term Loans shall constitute one class of Loans for all purposes under this Agreement. 
2.1.3    On the Closing Date, the Non-Consenting Lender was deemed to have made a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.1 (the “Specified Initial Loans”).  The Specified Initial Loans may be repaid or prepaid but may not be reborrowed. The Specified Initial Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as further provided herein. As of the Effective Date, the 

-45-

Specified Initial Loans are LIBOR Loans with a three month interest period ending on May 31, 2020. 

2.2    Notes. Loans and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and the applicable Lender in accordance with Section 14.3.5. At the request of a Lender, Borrower shall deliver a Note to such Lender, evidencing its Loan(s), registered in the name of such Lender.

2.3    [Reserved]. 

2.4    [Reserved]. 

2.5    Extension of Maturity Date.
2.5.1    The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section ‎2.5, without the consent of Agent or the Required Lenders, agree with one or more Lenders to extend the Maturity Date then applicable to such Lender’s Loan or any portion thereof, and, provided written notice thereof is given to Agent, otherwise modify the economic terms of any such Loans or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by modifying the interest rate or fees payable and/or the amortization schedule in respect of such Loans or any portion thereof) (each such modification an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders whose Loans have the same Maturity Date that is proposed to be extended under this Section ‎2.5, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each such Lender holding such Loans) and on the same terms to each such Lender, which Extension Offer may be conditioned as determined by the Borrower and set forth in such offer. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to Agent (for distribution to the applicable Lenders), no later than 30 days (or such shorter period as Agent may agree) prior to the maturity of the applicable Loans to be extended of the requested new maturity date for the proposed Extension Loans (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses. The Borrower and Agent shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section ‎2.5. In connection with any Extension, each applicable Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide Agent with a written notice thereof. Any such Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.
2.5.2    Each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(a)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Extension or would result from the consummation of the applicable Extension;
(b)    except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization, optional prepayment terms, premium, required prepayment dates, final maturity date (which shall, subject to clause (c) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and covenants and other provisions applicable to periods after the Maturity Date of any non-Extension Loans, the Extension Loans of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall 

-46-

have terms that are no more favorable to the Lenders thereof in any material respect, taken as a whole, than the applicable Loans prior to the related Extension Offer;
(c)    the final maturity date of the Extension Loans shall be later than the final Maturity Date of the Loans that are not being so extended, and the weighted average life to maturity of the Extension Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the applicable Loans subject to an Extension Offer that are not so extended;
(d)    if the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Loans shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts thereof (not to exceed any Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders accepted such Extension Offer;
(e)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable class of Extension Loans in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing;
(f)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied;
(g)    no more than four Maturity Dates and four tranches of pricing with respect to the Loans may be effectuated hereunder; and
(h)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the representations and warranties contained herein are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable date of such Extension to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date.
2.5.3    The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) that a minimum amount (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $5,000,000, unless another lesser amount is agreed to by Agent) of Loans be tendered.
2.5.4    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches of Loans created pursuant to an Extension (including without limitation amending the definition of “Applicable Margin” to effectuate the payment of different rates and fees to be made to those Lenders who have agreed to extend the maturity date of their Loans), in each case on terms consistent with this Section ‎2.5, and any such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. The term of any Extension Amendment shall be binding upon only the Lenders 

-47-

agreeing to participate in the Extension Offer and then, only with respect to the Extension Loans of such Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment shall modify in any respect any Loans of a Lender without the written consent of such Lender. All Extension Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.  INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1    Interest.
3.1.1    Rates and Payment of Interest.
(a)    The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation not paid when due (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(b)    Upon notice from Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, during an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). The Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.
(c)    Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is not paid when due, until paid in full by the Borrower. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Maturity Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.
(d)    Solely with respect to any Interest Payment Date occurring prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, interest due on the 2020 Term Loans may, at the option of the Borrower (exercisable by the Borrower in its sole discretion), be paid-in-kind with interest paid-in-kind being added to the unpaid principal amount of the relevant Loans on the applicable Interest Payment Date for such Loans; provided that, in the event the Borrower elects to pay a portion of interest in-kind, the Borrower shall have delivered a written notice to Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date stating the amount of interest on such Interest Payment Date that will be paid-in-kind; provided, however, that in the case of any prepayment or repayment of the principal amount of any Loans, including on the Maturity Date (or that has become payable pursuant to Section ‎12.2), all accrued and unpaid 

-48-

interest on the principal amount prepaid or repaid shall be payable in cash. On each applicable Interest Payment Date Agent shall update the Loan register to reflect the payment of interest in-kind.
(e)    Up to 100 basis points of the per annum interest due on the Specified Initial Loans may, at the option of the Borrower, be paid-in-kind with interest paid-in-kind being added to the unpaid principal amount of the relevant Loans on the applicable Interest Payment Date for such Specified Initial Loans; provided that, in the event the Borrower elects to pay a portion of interest in-kind, the Borrower shall have delivered a written notice to Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date stating the amount of interest on such Interest Payment Date that will be paid-in-kind; provided, however, that in the case of any prepayment or repayment of the principal amount of any Loans, including on the applicable Maturity Date (or that has become payable pursuant to Section 12.2), all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid or repaid shall be payable in cash.  On each applicable Interest Payment Date Agent shall update the Loan register to reflect the payment of interest in-kind.
3.1.2    Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.
(a)    The Borrower may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.
(b)    Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall give Agent a written Notice of Conversion/Continuation (which may be submitted by e-mail), no later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 1 month if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate described in the definition of LIBOR.
3.1.3    Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any Base Rate Loans that are 2020 Term Loans, the interest period shall be six months.  In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans that (x) are 2020 Term Loans, the interest period shall be six months or (y) that are Specified Initial Loans, the Borrower shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be one month, two months, three months, or six months (or, with the consent of all Lenders, such longer period not to exceed 12 months); provided, however, that:

-49-

(a)    the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;
(b)    if any Interest Period begins on the last day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end) or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of the calendar month at its end; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
(c)    no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans; and
(d)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any 2020 Term Loans are outstanding after five calendar years, the last Interest Period shall begin on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date that is the fifth anniversary of the date the 2020 Term Loans are made and shall last until the Maturity Date of the relevant 2020 Term Loans. 

3.2    Fees. The Borrower shall pay all fees set forth in the Agency Letter.

3.3    Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to LIBOR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section ‎3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by the Borrower under Section ‎3.4, ‎3.6, ‎3.7, ‎3.9 or ‎5.10, submitted to the Borrower by Agent or the affected Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4    Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request. The Borrower shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or 

-50-

maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section ‎10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party; provided that legal fees shall be limited to one firm of counsel and an additional local law firm in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected party, one additional firm of counsel to such affected party and one additional firm of local counsel to such affected party in each applicable jurisdiction. All reasonable and documented legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to the Borrower by Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any alternative fee arrangements that Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals that otherwise might apply to this or any other transaction. The Borrower acknowledges that counsel may provide Agent with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based on counsel’s overall relationship with Agent, including fees paid hereunder. All amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section ‎3.4 shall be due on demand.

3.5    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6    Inability to Determine Rates. Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and Lenders if, in connection with any Loan or request for a Loan, (a) Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable Loan amount or Interest Period, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the Interest Period; or (b) Agent or Required Lenders determine for any reason that LIBOR for the Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding the Loan (each of clause (a) and (b), a “Market Disruption Event”). Thereafter, Lenders’ obligations to make or maintain affected LIBOR Loans and utilization of the LIBOR component (if affected) in determining Base Rate shall be suspended and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as such LIBOR Loans until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) withdraws the notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan. During any period in which a Market Disruption Event is in effect, the Borrower may request that the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event continue to be in effect; provided that (A) the Borrower shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any 30-day period and (B) nothing contained in this Section ‎3.6 or the 

-51-

failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Event shall in any way affect the Agent’s or Required Lenders’ right to provide any additional notices of a Market Disruption Event as provided in this Section ‎3.6. If the Agent or Required Lenders, as applicable, have not confirmed within 10 Business Days after request of such confirmation from the Borrower that a Market Disruption Event continues to be in effect, then such Market Disruption Event shall be deemed to be no longer existing.
3.6.1    Benchmark Replacement. 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 Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR 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 Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
3.6.2    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the 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 Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
3.6.3    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent or Required Lenders, as applicable, will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders or Agent, as applicable, of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (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 Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” 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 titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.”
3.6.4    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBOR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be 

-52-

deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

3.7    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
3.7.1    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(a)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in calculating LIBOR);
(b)    subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(c)    impose on any Lender or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting any Loan or Loan Document;
and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to it such additional amount(s) as will compensate it for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
3.7.2    Capital Requirements. If a Lender determines that a Change in Law affecting such Lender or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s Loans or participations in Loans, to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered; provided, that such Lender is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.
3.7.3    LIBOR Loan Reserves. If any Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, the Borrower shall pay additional interest to such Lender on each LIBOR Loan equal to the costs of such reserves allocated to the Loan by the Lender (as determined by it in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive). The additional interest shall be due and payable on each interest payment date for the Loan; provided, however, that if the Lender notifies the Borrower (with a copy 

-53-

to Agent) of the additional interest less than 10 days prior to the interest payment date, then such interest shall be payable 10 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the notice.
3.7.4    Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section ‎3.7.4 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the applicable Change in Law and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.8    Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section ‎3.5 or requests compensation under Section ‎3.7, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section ‎5.10, then at the request of the Borrower, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9    Funding Losses. If for any reason (a) any conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) the Borrower fails to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section ‎14.4, then the Borrower shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses, expenses and fees arising from redeployment of funds or termination of match funding. For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section ‎3.9, a Lender shall be deemed to have funded a LIBOR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and period, whether or not the Loan was in fact so funded.

3.10    Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“Maximum Rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4.  LOAN ADMINISTRATION

-54-

4.1    [Reserved].  

4.2    Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
4.2.1    Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans, Agent may in its discretion reallocate Pro Rata shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Loans from the calculation of shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section ‎15.1.1(b).
4.2.2    Fees. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender.
4.2.3    Status; Cure. Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. The Borrower and Agent may agree in writing that a Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s Loans. Unless expressly agreed by the Borrower and Agent, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan or otherwise to perform obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document. No Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3    Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus an increment of $500,000 in excess thereof. No more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose.
Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by the Borrower, Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (which may be by e-mail).

Any payment after such time may in Agent’s discretion be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section ‎3.9.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the Loans to be prepaid are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans and if LIBOR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata share). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of 2020 Term Loans under this Section ‎5.3.1 shall be accompanied by any Applicable Premium and all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section ‎3.9.  Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section ‎5.3.1 (i) shall be applied to any class of Loans as directed by the Borrower (or in the absence of such direction, such prepayment shall be applied to the 2020 Term Loans), (ii) if applied to the Specified Initial Loans, each such prepayment shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof in direct order of maturity and (iii) subject to Section ‎4.2, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata shares of the applicable class. 
5.3.2    Mandatory.

(a)    The Borrower shall deliver to Agent, no later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of each prepayment required under this Section ‎5.3.2, a certificate signed by a Senior Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  Each such certificate shall specify the Loans being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest.  All prepayments of Loans under this Section ‎5.3.2 shall be accompanied by any Applicable Premium and all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section ‎3.9.  Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section ‎5.3.2 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Borrower (in the case of the Specified Initial Loans), and subject to Section ‎4.2, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

5.4    Offers to Repurchase Loans.

-57-

the Lenders at least ten Business Days prior to the date of prepayment specified in such offer (the “Asset Disposition Prepayment Date”), an offer to prepay the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans that may be prepaid out of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) as of the date of such purchase (each such offer, an “Asset Disposition Offer”).
(b)    Each Lender may accept all or a portion of its Pro Rata share of any Asset Disposition Offer (any amounts not accepted, together with any other amounts not accepted from prepayments offered under Sections ‎5.4.1.2, ‎5.4.1.3 and ‎5.4.1.4, the “Declined Amounts”) by providing written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the Asset Disposition Prepayment Date. Each Acceptance Notice delivered by a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be purchased from such Lender; provided that (i) such amount shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Asset Disposition Offer and (ii) if such Lender fails to specify any such amount, it shall be deemed to have requested its full Pro Rata share of such Asset Disposition Offer. If a Lender fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice to Agent within the time frame specified above, such failure will be deemed a full rejection of such Asset Disposition Offer. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section ‎5.4 and may be used by the Borrower in any way not prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section ‎5.4.1.1(b), Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the Borrower to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans.

(b)    Each Lender may accept all or a portion of its Pro Rata share of any ECF Offer by providing an Acceptance Notice to Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the ECF Prepayment Date. Each Acceptance Notice delivered by a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be purchased from such Lender; provided that (i) such amount shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the ECF Amount and (ii) if such Lender fails to specify any such amount, it shall be deemed to have requested its full Pro Rata share of such ECF Amount. If a Lender fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice to Agent within the time frame specified above, such failure will be deemed a full rejection of such 

-58-

ECF Offer. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section‎ ‎5.4 and may be used by the Borrower in any way not prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section ‎5.4.1.2(b), Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the Borrower to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans.
5.4.1.3    Change of Control.
(a)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent who, in turn, shall furnish such offer to all of the Lenders, an offer (each such offer, a “Change of Control Offer”) at least ten Business Days prior to the date of prepayment specified in such offer (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”) to prepay all Loans then outstanding at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to, the greater of (A) 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans repurchased and (B) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans repurchased plus, solely in the case of 2020 Term Loans, the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of such repurchase, in each case, together with all accrued and unpaid interest (if any) as of the date of such purchase.
(b)    Each Lender may accept all or a portion of its Pro Rata share of any Change of Control Offer by providing an Acceptance Notice to Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Prepayment Date. Each Acceptance Notice delivered by a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be purchased from such Lender; provided that if such Lender fails to specify any such amount, it shall be deemed to have requested that the Borrower purchase the full amount of its Loans. If a Lender fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice to Agent within the time frame specified above, such failure will be deemed a full rejection of such Change of Control Offer. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section ‎‎5.4 and may be used by the Borrower in any way not prohibited by this Agreement.
(c)    If the aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section ‎5.4.1.3(b), Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the Borrower to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans.
(d)    Provided that the Borrower complies in all respects with subsections (a) and (b) of this Section ‎5.4.1.3, all Loans subject to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date
5.4.1.4    Extraordinary Receipts.
(a)    Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Extraordinary Receipt in excess of $5,000,000, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent who, in turn, shall furnish such offer to all Lenders (other than the Non-Consenting Lender), an offer (each such offer, an “Extraordinary Receipts Offer”) at least ten Business Days prior to the date of prepayment specified in such offer (the “Extraordinary Receipts 

-59-

Prepayment Date”) to prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans (other than the Specified Initial Loans) equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds received with respect to such Extraordinary Receipt, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) as of the date of such prepayment.
(b)    Each Lender may accept all or a portion of its Pro Rata share of any Extraordinary Receipts Offer by providing an Acceptance Notice to Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the Extraordinary Receipts Prepayment Date. Each Acceptance Notice delivered by a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be purchased from such Lender; provided that if such Lender fails to specify any such amount, it shall be deemed to have requested that the Borrower purchase the full amount of its Loans. If a Lender fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice to Agent within the time frame specified above, such failure will be deemed a full rejection of such Extraordinary Receipts Offer. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section ‎‎5.4 and may be used by the Borrower in any way not prohibited by this Agreement.  If the aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section ‎5.4.1.4, Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the Borrower to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans
5.4.1.5    Application. 
(a)    All prepayments of 2020 Term Loans under this Section 5.4 shall be accompanied by any Applicable Premium and all prepayments of any Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.9.

5.5    Payment of Applicable Premium. In the event of (i) any repayment or prepayment of 2020 Term Loans under Sections ‎5.3 and ‎5.4, (ii) any acceleration of the Loans and other Obligations pursuant to Section ‎12.2 or (iii) assignment of the Loans of any Lender under Section ‎14.4‎(a), whether voluntary or mandatory, the Borrower shall be required to pay with respect to the amount of the Loans repaid, prepaid or assigned in each case of clauses (i)-(iii) above, concurrently with such repayment, prepayment, assignment or other event the following amount (the “Applicable Premium”):
(a)    if made prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, a cash amount equal to the product of the principal amount of the applicable 2020 Term Loans times 3.00%;
(b)    if made on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, a cash amount equal to the product of the principal amount of the applicable 2020 Term Loans times 2.00%;

-60-

(c)    if made on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date and before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, a cash amount equal to the product of the principal amount of the 2020 Term Loans prepaid times 1.00%; and
(d)    if made on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, $0.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IF THE 2020 TERM LOANS ARE ACCELERATED OR OTHERWISE BECOME DUE PRIOR TO THEIR MATURITY DATE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION AS A RESULT OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION ‎12.1(h), THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY BE DUE AND PAYABLE AS THOUGH THE 2020 TERM LOANS WERE BEING PREPAID OR ASSIGNED (OR AMENDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED PURSUANT TO SUCH AMENDMENT) AND SHALL CONSTITUTE PART OF THE OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOANS.

5.6    Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by the Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.7    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to Agent or any Lender, or if Agent or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or a Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.

5.8    Application and Allocation of Payments.
5.8.1    Application. Except as expressly set forth herein, payments made by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied:
(a)    first, to Obligations (other than in respect of the Specified Initial Loans) then due and owing;
(b)    second, to other Obligations (other than in respect of the Specified Initial Loans) specified by the Borrower;
(c)    third, to Obligations in respect of the Specified Initial Loans; and
(d)    fourth, as determined by the Required Lenders in their discretion.
5.8.2    Post-Default Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement):

-61-

(a)    first, to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;
(b)    second, to all amounts owing to Agent on Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund;
(c)    third, to all Obligations constituting fees, indemnification, costs or expenses owing to the Lenders;
(d)    fourth, to all Obligations constituting interest;
(e)    fifth, to all Loans; and
(f)    last, to all remaining Obligations.
Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in this Section ‎5.8 are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor. This Section ‎5.8 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and the Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section ‎5.8.
5.8.3    Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by a Secured Party, the Secured Party agrees to return it).

5.9    Account Stated. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of the Borrower hereunder. Any failure of Agent to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.10    Taxes.
5.10.1    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.
(a)    All payments of Obligations by or on behalf of Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined by Agent in its discretion) requires the deduction or withholding 

-62-

of any Tax from any such payment by Agent or an Obligor, then Agent or such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding.
(b)    If Agent or any Obligor is required by any Applicable Law to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) Agent or such Obligor, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall apply such withholding or deduction and timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
5.10.2    Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at Agent’s option, timely reimburse Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.
5.10.3    Tax Indemnification.
(a)    The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section ‎5.10) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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. The Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section ‎5.10. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)    Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent Borrower has not already paid or reimbursed Agent therefor and without limiting Borrower’s obligation to do so), (ii) Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, 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. Each Lender shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section ‎5.10. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
5.10.4    Evidence of Payments. If Agent or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section ‎5.10, then upon request, Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or the Borrower shall deliver to Agent, respectively, a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent or the Borrower, as applicable.

-63-

5.10.5    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, nor have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender. If a Recipient determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section ‎5.10, it shall pay the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower agrees, upon request by the Recipient, to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to the Borrower if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall Agent or any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.
5.10.6    Survival. Each party’s obligations under Sections ‎5.10 and ‎5.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

5.11    Lender Tax Information.
5.11.1    Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documentation (other than documentation described in Sections ‎5.11.2(a), ‎(b) and ‎(d)) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.
5.11.2    Documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(a)    Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

-64-

(b)    Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 other payments under the Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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;

(iii)    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 in form satisfactory to Agent 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 (“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(iv)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form satisfactory to Agent, 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 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 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agent), executed originals 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 Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(a)    all Accounts;

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest attach to, or the term “Collateral” be deemed to include, any of the Property set forth in Section ‎7.7.

7.2    Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.
7.2.1    Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of its Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Agent a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account or Securities Account of such Obligor, including sums in any blocked, lockbox, sweep or collection account; provided that, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, any security interest in any Deposit Account or Securities Account other than the TL Proceeds and Priority Collateral Account shall have second priority to the security interests of the ABL Agent (and subject to Permitted Liens (x) in favor of the account bank and (y) that have priority by operation of law). Each Obligor hereby authorizes and directs each bank, other depository or securities intermediary to deliver to Agent, upon request of Agent, all balances in any Deposit Account or Securities Account maintained for such Obligor, without inquiry into the authority or right of Agent to make such request. Agent hereby agrees that it will not issue any such request unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

-67-

7.2.2    Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral may be invested, at Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of the Borrower, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Obligor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. As security for its Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Agent a security interest in and Lien upon all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of such Obligations as they become due, in such order as Agent may elect. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and no Obligor or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.

7.3    Real Estate Collateral and Vehicles.
7.3.1    Lien on Real Estate. %5. If, after the Effective Date, any Obligor acquires (x) any Restricted Subsidiary that owns Material Real Property or (y) any Material Real Property, other than, in each case, Real Estate constituting Excluded Property, or if any Real Estate ceases to be Excluded Property, the Obligors shall, within 90 days (as may be extended by Agent in its sole discretion), with respect to such Material Real Property, %6. execute, deliver and record a Mortgage sufficient to create a perfected Lien in favor of Agent, %6. deliver a customary opinion of local counsel in the state in which such Material Real Property is located as to such Mortgage, %6. to the extent required by applicable law, acknowledge receipt of any life-of-loan flood hazard determination procured by Agent or any Lender; %6. deliver to Agent such existing documents, instruments or agreements as Agent may reasonably request with respect to any environmental risks regarding such Real Estate; %6. upon request, deliver to Agent any existing survey of such Material Real Property; and %6. %7. upon the reasonable request of Agent, deliver to Agent a title report for all Real Estate referred to in clause ‎‎(i) of this Section ‎‎7.3.1(a)with a net book value between $250,000 and $500,000, and %7. deliver a mortgagee title policy (or “marked” title commitment therefor) for all Real Estate referred to in this Section ‎‎7.3.1(a) with a net book value in excess of $500,000, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, having a value not in excess of the fair market value of such Real Estate covering Agent’s interest under the Mortgage, by an insurer reasonably acceptable to Agent (which must be fully paid on such effective date); provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver any mortgage title policies to the extent doing so would require the Borrower to obtain new surveys, zoning letters, appraisals, or environmental assessments of such Real Estate, and %5. within 90 days or such longer period as Agent may agree (such extensions not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Obligors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to %6. transfer all leased Real Estate and all owned Real Estate, in each case acquired after the Effective Date and not constituting Excluded Property, if not required to be secured by a Mortgage pursuant to clause ‎(a) above, to the SPV and, upon request of Agent, provide evidence of same; provided that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the Obligors to %7. pay consent or similar fees to counterparties to leases or other contracts in order to effect such transfers or %7. transfer any lease to the extent that a grant of a perfected security interest in the equity interests in the SPV would violate or invalidate such lease or create a right of 

-68-

termination in favor of any other party thereto, and %6. grant to Agent a perfected security interest in the equity interests in the SPV (to the extent not then in place).
7.3.2    Vehicles. If any Obligor acquires a Vehicle that does not constitute Excluded Property or a Vehicle that is a Specified Vehicle (or if any Vehicle ceases to be Excluded Property), Obligors shall, within 90 days (as may be extended by Agent in its sole discretion), execute and deliver such documents and take such actions (including notation on the certificate of title) as Agent may reasonably request to create a perfected Lien in favor of Agent on such Vehicle.
7.3.3    [Reserved]

7.4    Other Collateral.
7.4.1    Commercial Tort Claims. Except as shown on Schedule ‎7.4.1, as of the Effective Date, no Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $5,000,000). Obligors shall promptly notify Agent in writing if any Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $5,000,000), shall promptly amend Schedule ‎7.4.1 to include such claim, and shall take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority (or subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, second priority) Lien in favor of Agent.

Obligors shall promptly notify Agent in writing if, after the Effective Date, the Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of (a) Deposit Accounts (other than an Excluded Account), (b) Intellectual Property that is material to such Obligor’s business or (c) Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments or Investment Property, in each case with an individual value of or face amount in excess of $1,000,000 and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority (or subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, second priority) Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, Obligors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

7.5    Limitations. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Obligors relating to any Collateral.

7.6    Further Assurances. All Liens granted to Agent under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties.  Promptly upon request, Obligors shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral. Each Obligor authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Obligor, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Agent before the Effective Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

7.7    Certain Limited Exclusions.

(v)    (1) Property subject to a purchase money security agreement or capital lease agreement evidencing or governing purchase money and capital lease obligations that are permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Loan Documents to the extent the granting of a security interest therein is validly prohibited thereby or otherwise requires consent (but only so long as such prohibition or consent requirement was not created in contemplation or anticipation of the Collateral requirements under the Loan Documents) and/or (2) any lease, license, permit or agreement or any property subject to such agreement, in each case in existence on the Effective Date or upon acquisition of the relevant Obligor party thereto, to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license, permit or agreement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto or otherwise require consent thereunder (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other Applicable Law, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other applicable law notwithstanding such prohibition), but only so long as such restriction or consent requirement was not created in contemplation or anticipation of the Collateral requirements under the Loan Documents;
(vi)    any intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law;
(vii)    Equity Interests in captive insurance Subsidiaries;

With respect to the Obligors’ obligations in connection with the operation of their business, the Equipment is in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary replacements and repairs have been made so that the value and operating efficiency of such Equipment is preserved at all times, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

If the Borrower fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge the Borrower therefor. While no Event of Default exists, the Borrower may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default exists, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.
8.4.3    Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Obligors. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrower’s sole risk.

Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or an Obligor’s name, but at the cost and expense of Obligors and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a)    endorse an Obligor’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and

SECTION 11.  GUARANTY

11.1    Guaranty. For value received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to the Borrower by the Secured Parties, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined) and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by the Borrower in favor of one or more Secured Parties in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means any and all existing and 

-102-

future Obligations of the Borrower to any Secured Party, whether associated with any credit or other financial accommodation made to or for the benefit of the Borrower by any Secured Party or otherwise and whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

11.2    No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section ‎5.10) now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to Taxes) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the applicable Secured Party, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Secured Party to receive the same net amount which such Secured Party would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to such Secured Party certificates or other valid vouchers for all charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section ‎11.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Guaranty.

11.3    Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend (including increase), modify, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting 

-103-

the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

11.4    Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Secured Party to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; (f) any defense relating to the failure of any Secured Party to comply with the applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) any amendment or waiver of the term of any Guaranteed Obligation; (h) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation; (i) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty and (j) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any Collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

11.5    Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

11.6    Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this 

-104-

Guaranty until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Agent (for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11.7    Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Secured Party is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section ‎11.7 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

11.8    Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of any Secured Party or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations. If Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for Agent and the proceeds thereof, as well as any other amounts received by such Guarantor in violation of this Section ‎11.8, shall be paid over to Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

11.9    Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by any Guarantor immediately upon demand by Agent.

11.10    Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the any Secured Party’s rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section ‎11.10 shall survive the Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

-105-

11.11    Miscellaneous. Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties or any term or provision thereof.

11.12    Condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that the Secured Parties have no duty, and each Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

11.13    Additional Guarantors. Each Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section ‎10.1.13 shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Guaranty upon execution and delivery by such Person of a supplement in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(a)    declare any Obligations immediately due and payable (an “acceleration”) which amount shall include, if such acceleration occurs prior to third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration, as if such acceleration were an optional or mandatory prepayment on the principal amount of Loans accelerated, whereupon they shall be due and payable without diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law;
(b)    if an Event of Default described in clause (h) of Section ‎12.1 occurs and is continuing, any Obligations will become immediately due and payable without any further action or notice on the part of Agent or any Lenders;

Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents. Any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting 

-109-

the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver, as Agent, each Loan Document, including the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at Agent’s option and discretion, to enter into, or amend, the Intercreditor Agreement (or similar agreements with the same or similar purpose) and any other subordination or intercreditor agreement to effect the subordination of Liens securing Obligations under the Loan Documents contemplated by Sections ‎10.2.1(h) and ‎10.2.1(i) as agent for and on its behalf in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement. Any such Intercreditor Agreement or subordination or intercreditor agreement entered into by Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be binding upon each Secured Party. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section ‎14.3) hereby authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination and intercreditor agreement on behalf of such Lender and agrees that Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement. Agent shall notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement when executed and shall provide a copy of the executed Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement to the Lenders as and when effective.
13.1.2    Duties. The title of “Agent” is used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of Agent are administrative in nature only. Agent has no duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or relationship with any Lender or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.
13.1.3    Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
13.1.4    Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section ‎6, Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender before Agent takes the action. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, 

-110-

and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by Agent. Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section ‎15.1.1. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to liability.

13.2    Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.
13.2.1    Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. The Lenders authorize Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrower certifies in writing is permitted pursuant to this Agreement or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) subject to Section ‎15.1, with the consent of Required Lenders. The Lenders authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
13.2.2    Possession of Collateral. Agent and the Lenders appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
13.2.3    Reports. Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit or appraisal report prepared for Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrower’s books, records and representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person 

-111-

preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.

13.3    Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

13.4    Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section ‎6, unless it has received written notice from the Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations or assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

13.5    Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section ‎5.8, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the full amount thereof to Agent for application under Section ‎4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall set off against a Dominion Account (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) without Agent’s prior consent.

13.6    Indemnification; Waiver.
(a)    EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT). In Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses 

-112-

(including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.
(b)    The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if payment of the Obligations are accelerated or the Loans and other Obligation otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Applicable Premium with respect to an optional or mandatory redemption of the Loans will also be due and payable as though the Loans were redeemed and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each holder as the result of the early redemption and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Loans are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between holders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to purchase the Loans.

13.7    Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor or Lender of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to the Lenders with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance 

-113-

by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

13.8    Successor Agent and Co-Agents.
13.8.1    Resignation; Successor Agent. Either Cortland Corp. or Cortland LLC may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. If Cortland Corp. or Cortland LLC is a Defaulting Lender, Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, remove such Agent by written notice to Borrower and Agent. Required Lenders may appoint a successor to replace the resigning or removed Agent, which successor shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of Agent’s resignation or removal, then Cortland Corp. or Cortland LLC, as applicable, may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it (which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall on such date assume all rights and duties of Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance by any successor Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act. On the effective date of its resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections under the Loan Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent, including the indemnification set forth in Sections ‎13.6 and ‎15.2, and all rights and protections under this Section ‎13. Any successor to Cortland Corp. or Cortland LLC by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Lender or Obligor.
13.8.2    Co-Collateral Agent. If appropriate under Applicable Law, Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Agent may request to effect such appointment. If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.

13.9    Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans hereunder. Each Lender has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and 

-114-

rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates.

13.10    Remittance of Payments and Collections.
13.10.1    Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 1:00 p.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.
13.10.2    Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate. In no event shall Borrower be entitled to credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section ‎4.2.
13.10.3    Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays an amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from the Lender. If Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to Obligations held by a Lender are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, its share of the amounts required to be returned.

13.11    Individual Capacities. Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Agent or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.

13.12    Titles. Each Lender that is designated in connection with this credit facility as an “Agent” of any kind shall have no right or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party.

-115-

13.13    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section ‎13 is an agreement solely among Lenders and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Except as set forth in Section ‎13.8 with respect to the Borrower, this Section ‎13 does not confer any rights or benefits upon the Borrower or any other Person. As between the Borrower and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Lenders.

SECTION 14.  BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS

14.1    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section ‎14.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section ‎14.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

14.2    Participations.
14.2.1    Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section ‎14.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section ‎5.10 unless Borrower agrees otherwise in writing.
14.2.2    Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Maturity Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan, or releases the Borrower, any Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.
14.2.3    Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the Participant’s name, address and interest in Loans (including principal and stated interest). Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such register 

-116-

except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code.
14.2.4    Benefit of Setoff. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section ‎13.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

14.3    Assignments.
14.3.1    Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) the prior written consent of Agent shall have been obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, that, the consent of Agent shall not be required in connection with an assignment to another Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, any Approved Fund, an Affiliated Lender or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Agent for acceptance and recording. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
14.3.2    Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of a fully executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed or waived by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the Assignment, if it complies with this Section ‎14.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section ‎5.11 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.
14.3.3    Certain Assignees. 
(a)    No assignment or participation may be made to any Defaulting Lender or natural person. Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignee is permitted under the Loan Documents. Assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only if there is concurrent satisfaction of all outstanding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents in a manner satisfactory to Agent, including payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient upon distribution 

-117-

(through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Agent) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender. If assignment by a Defaulting Lender occurs (by operation of law or otherwise) without compliance with the foregoing sentence, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.
(b)    (i) Any Lender who, together with its Affiliates, owns more than 20% of the Equity Interests of any Person identified in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Disqualified Institution” will not be entitled to receive any private-side information and (ii) the consent of any Lender who, together with its Affiliates, owns more than 50% of the Equity Interests of any Person identified in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Disqualified Institution” will be excluded from any vote hereunder that requires the consent of such Lender other than any vote in connection with any waiver, modification or amendment of the Loan Documents which would (x) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section ‎4.2); (y) extend the Maturity Date; or (z) require the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender and which by its terms affects such Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing limitations shall be apply to the Lenders as of the Effective Date (or any of their Affiliates).
14.3.4    Assignments to Borrower. 
(a)    Loans may be purchased by and assigned to Affiliates of the Borrower (each, an “Affiliated Lender”, which shall be deemed to exclude the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any natural person) on a non-pro rata basis through (a) open market purchases (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, through privately negotiated transactions) and/or (b) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures, in each case, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred; provided that (i) Affiliated Lenders (x) shall not receive information provided solely to Lenders or be permitted to attend or participate in Lender-only conference calls or meetings (in each case in their capacity as a Lender), (y) shall not have access to any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of Agent or Lenders and (z) shall not be permitted to receive the advice of counsel to Agent or the Lenders and shall not, solely acting in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender, have the right to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege, (ii) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the Loan Documents that does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender and adversely affects such Affiliated Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders, Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated Lenders voting on such matter, (iii) in connection with a plan of reorganization under any insolvency proceeding unless the plan of reorganization affects the Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender in a disproportionally adverse manner than its effect on the other Lenders Agent shall vote on behalf of the Affiliated Lenders, (iv) such Loans owned or held by an Affiliated Lender shall not, in the aggregate, exceed 25% of Loans outstanding at any time and (v) the applicable assignee Affiliated Lender shall make a representation to the assigning Lender that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than Lenders that have elected not to receive such information). 

-118-

For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of the preceding clauses (i) through (v) in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to Debt Fund Affiliates; provided that in any vote requiring the consent of the Required Lenders, Debt Fund Affiliates cannot, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether such consent or waiver has been obtained. 
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14.3, the Affiliated Lenders, may, at their option, contribute Loans to the Borrower solely for the purpose of cancelling such Loans. Such contribution may include contributions made to the Borrower (whether through any of its direct or indirect parent entities or otherwise) in exchange for Debt or Equity Interests of such parent entity or the Borrower that are otherwise permitted to be issued hereunder by such entity at such time; provided that, immediately upon the effectiveness of the contribution of any Loan by an Affiliated Lender to the Borrower, such contributed Loan shall be automatically and permanently cancelled and shall thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.
(c)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Loans may be purchased by and assigned to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (a) open-market purchases (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, through privately negotiated transactions) and/or (b) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures; provided that (1) immediately upon purchasing any Loan, such Loan shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such purchase and shall thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder, and (2) in connection with such purchase the Borrower shall make a representation to the assigning Lender that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than Lenders that have elected not to receive such information).
14.3.5    Register. Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each Assignment delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses of, and the Loans, principal and interest owing to, each Lender. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

14.4    Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) within the last 120 days failed to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) within the last 120 days gave a notice under Section ‎3.5 or requested payment or compensation under Section ‎3.7 or ‎5.10 (and has not designated a different Lending Office pursuant to Section ‎3.8), then Agent or the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s), within 20 days after 

-119-

such notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.

SECTION 15.  MISCELLANEOUS

15.1    Consents, Amendments and Waivers.
15.1.1    Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that
(a)    without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall alter any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Agent;

-120-

capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.
15.1.3    Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

15.2    Indemnity. THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON AND, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim (a) that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (b) arises out of or is in connection with any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against Agent in its capacity as such); and Claims consisting of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitees will be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole and one firm of local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected Indemnitee, one additional counsel to such affected Indemnitee.

15.3    Notices and Communications
15.3.1    Notice Address. All notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section ‎15.3. Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section ‎3.1.2 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party.

-121-

15.3.2    Communications. Electronic communications (including e-mail, messaging and websites) may be used only in a manner acceptable to Agent and only for routine communications, such as delivery of Borrower Materials, administrative matters and distribution of Loan Documents. Secured Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic communications. E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.
15.3.3    Platform. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Agent to an electronic system maintained by Agent (“Platform”). Borrower shall notify Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. 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 AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrower, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail, or any other electronic platform or messaging system.
15.3.4    Public Information. Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information may not be segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include Obligors’ material non-public information, and should not be made available to personnel who do not wish to receive such information or may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to an Obligor’s securities.
15.3.5    Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.

15.4    Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or, upon notice to Borrower unless an Event of Default exists, do any act required of the Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, 

-122-

warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All reasonable and documented payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section ‎15.4 shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrower, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section ‎15.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

15.5    Credit Inquiries. Agent and the Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

15.6    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

15.7    Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), the provision herein shall govern and control.

15.8    Counterparts; Execution. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any signature, contract formation or record-keeping through electronic means, which shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as manual or paper-based methods, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

15.9    Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

15.10    Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

-123-

15.11    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a)(i) this credit facility and any arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on one hand, and Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower, its Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

15.12    Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; provided that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, each of Agent and each Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrower (without any liability for a failure to so notify the Borrower) of any request made to such Lender or Agent, as applicable, by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such Information prior to disclosure of such Information; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section ‎15.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section ‎15.12 or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender, or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower; (h) on a confidential basis to a provider of a Platform; or (i) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Borrower’s logos, trademarks or product photographs approved by Borrower in advertising materials; provided, however that (x) Agent and Lenders provide Borrower with a copy for its review prior to publishing or disseminating such information and (y) such general information does not include any Information required to be kept confidential by this Section ‎15.12. As used herein, 

-124-

“Information” means information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. A Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section ‎15.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information. Each of Agent and Lenders acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.

15.13    GOVERNING LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

15.14    Consent to Forum.
15.14.1    Forum. THE BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING ANY SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION ‎15.3.1. A final judgment in any proceeding of any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by Applicable Law.
15.14.2    Other Jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

15.15    Waivers by Borrower. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which the Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any 

-125-

Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto (which Agent and each Lender hereby also waives); and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. The Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with the Borrower. The Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

15.16    PATRIOT Act Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrower that pursuant to the PATRIOT Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrower’s management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Borrower shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as Agent or any Lender may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under any “know your customer,” anti-money laundering or other requirements of Applicable Law.

15.17    NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

15.18    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, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted 

-126-

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.

Under the Loan Documents and the Borrower Materials (except as otherwise specified therein), all accounting terms not specifically defined therein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP or the application thereof would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document or Borrower Material, and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided , that , until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or the application thereof prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP or the application thereof. All terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (A) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification having a similar result or effect) to value any Debt or other liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (B) any treatment of Debt in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.2 or in the definition of “Capital Lease” to the contrary, in the event of an accounting change requiring all 

 44

leases to be capitalized, only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that such leases were in existence on the Closing Date) that would constitute Capital Leases in conformity with GAAP on the Closing Date shall be considered Capital Leases, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith (provided that together with all financial statements delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of any such accounting change, the Company shall deliver a schedule showing the adjustments necessary to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change).

Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, "from" means "from and including," and "to" and "until" each mean "to but excluding." The terms "including" and "include" shall mean "including, without limitation" and, for purposes of each Loan Document and the Borrower Materials, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document and the Borrower Materials. All references to (a) laws include all related regulations, interpretations, supplements, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document, instrument or agreement include any amendments, waivers and other modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents); (c) any section mean, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person include such Person’s successors and assigns; (f) time of day mean time of day at Administrative Agent’s notice address under Section 15.3.1; or (g) except as expressly provided, discretion of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender mean the sole and absolute discretion of such Person. All calculations of Value, Borrowing Base components, Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations and other amounts herein shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise, and all determinations (including calculations of Borrowing Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise satisfactory to Collateral Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Reference to a Borrower’s "knowledge" or similar concept means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter.

1.5.    Pro Forma Calculations: With respect to the calculation of any test, financial ratio, basket or covenant under this Agreement, including the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, of any Person and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, as of any date, pro forma effect will be given to the Transactions on the Closing Date, any acquisition, merger, consolidation, Investment, any issuance, incurrence, assumption or repayment or redemption of Debt (including Debt issued, incurred or assumed or repaid or redeemed as a result of, or 

 45

to finance, any relevant transaction and for which any such test, financial ratio, basket or covenant is being calculated) (but excluding the identifiable proceeds of any Debt being incurred substantially simultaneously therewith or as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions for purposes of netting cash to calculate the applicable ratio), any issuance or redemption of preferred stock, all sales, transfers and other dispositions or discontinuance of any Subsidiary, line of business, division, segment or operating unit, any operational change (including the entry into any material contract or arrangement) or any designation of a Consolidated Subsidiary to an Unrestricted Subsidiary or of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to a Consolidated Subsidiary, in each case that have occurred during the four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Company being used to calculate such test, financial ratio, basket or covenant (the “Reference Period”), or subsequent to the end of the Reference Period but prior to such date or prior to or simultaneously with the event for which a determination under this definition is made (including any such event occurring at a Person who became a Consolidated Subsidiary of the subject Person or was merged or consolidated with or into the subject Person or any other Consolidated Subsidiary of the subject Person after the commencement of the Reference Period), as if each such event occurred on the first day of the Reference Period.

For purposes of making any computation referred to above:

		
	(1)
	if any Debt bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Debt shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date for which a determination under this definition is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Agreements applicable to such Debt if such Hedging Agreements has a remaining term in excess of 12 months);

		
	(2)
	interest on a Capital Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer, in his or her capacity as such and not in his or her personal capacity, of the Borrower Agent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease in accordance with GAAP;

		
	(3)
	interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, an eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower Agent may designate; and

		
	(4)
	interest on any Debt under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during the applicable period.

Any pro forma calculation may include, without limitation, adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act; provided that any such adjustments that consist of reductions in costs and other operating improvements or synergies (whether added pursuant to this definition, the definition “Pro Forma Cost Savings” or otherwise added to Consolidated Net Income or EBITDA) shall be calculated in accordance with, and satisfy the requirements specified in, the definition of “Pro Forma Cost Savings”.

1.6. Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any LIBOR

 46

Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes.

SECTION 2.    CREDIT FACILITIES

		
	2.1.
	Revolver Commitment.

2.1.1.    Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Revolver Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if Revolver Usage at such time plus the requested Loan would exceed the Borrowing Base.

2.1.2.    Notes. Loans and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. At the request of a Lender, Borrowers shall deliver promissory note(s) to such Lender, evidencing its Loan(s).

2.1.3.    Use of Proceeds. No Borrowings (other than the issuance of any Existing Letters of Credit and other Letters of Credit) shall be made on the Closing Date. Thereafter, the proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (b) for ongoing working capital and for other lawful, general corporate, limited liability company or partnership purposes of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, including without limitation to finance permitted restricted payments, share repurchases, acquisitions, permitted Capital Expenditures and other Investments of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Letter of Credit or Loan proceeds, nor use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available any Letter of Credit or Loan proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any Designated Jurisdiction, that, at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit or funding of the Loan, is the subject of any Sanction; (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of a Sanction by any Person (including any Secured Party or other individual or entity participating in a transaction); or (iii) for any purpose that would violate Anti-Corruption Laws.

		
	2.1.4.
	Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Revolver Commitments.

(a)The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable; provided that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of an acquisition or investment, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b)Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolver Commitments, on a ratable basis for all Lenders, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or an increment of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

 47

2.1.5.    Overadvances. If Revolver Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by Administrative Agent to exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance is not increased by more than $2,500,000 and does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6.    Protective Advances. Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, to make Base Rate Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount of the greater of (i) $10,000,000 and (ii) 10.0% of the aggregate amount of Revolver Commitment outstanding at any time, less, in each case, the amount of Overadvance Loans outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1.5, if Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Lenders shall participate on a Pro Rata basis in Protective Advances outstanding from time to time. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.1.7.    Increase in Revolver Commitments. Borrowers may request an increase in Revolver Commitments from time to time upon notice to Administrative Agent by adding to this Agreement one or more Eligible Assignees that are not already Lenders hereunder to issue additional Revolver Commitments and become Lenders hereunder that are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and is offered on the same terms as existing Revolver Commitments, except for a closing fee specified by Borrowers, (b) increases under this Section do not exceed $50,000,00030,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than three (3) increases are made; (c) no reduction in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has occurred prior to the requested increase, and (d) the requested increase does not cause the Commitments to exceed 90% of any applicable cap under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any agreement evidencing or governing Permitted Junior Priority Secured/Unsecured Debt. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Revolver

 48

Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Revolver Commitments and become Lenders hereunder. Administrative Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased Revolver Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Total Revolver Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent, provided (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at such time, (y) Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and new and existing Lenders shall have executed and delivered such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Revolver Commitments and (z) flood hazard diligence and documentation has been completed as required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to all Collateral Agent. On the effective date of an increase, the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Administrative Agent if necessary, in accordance with Lenders' adjusted shares of such Commitments.

		
	2.2.
	[Reserved].

		
	2.3.
	Letter of Credit Facility.

2.3.1.    Issuance of Letters of Credit. From and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be a Letter of Credit used for the account of the Borrowers on the Closing Date. The Issuing Banks shall also issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 15 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a)Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Each LC Request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by an authorized Person and delivered to Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank receives written notice from Administrative Agent or Required Lenders that an LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing or until Required Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b)Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. Increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Issuing Bank may require a new LC Application in its discretion. Any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, an Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract.

 49

(c)Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or LC Document; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d)In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

(e)Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers. Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrowers will so notify Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

2.3.2.    Reimbursement; Participations.

(a)If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including: (i) any lack of validity, 

 50

enforceability, or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document which proves to be fraudulent, forged, or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; (iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; (iv) Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person; (vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.3.2(a), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or (vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b)Each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally purchases from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all LC Obligations outstanding from time to time.    Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon this participation. If Borrowers do not make a payment to Issuing Bank when due hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall within one Business Day after such notice pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall provide copies of Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c)The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, noncompliant, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; any waiver by Issuing Bank of a requirement that exists for its protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially prejudice a Borrower; any honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a draft is required; any payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s expiration date if authorized by the UCC or applicable customs or practices; or any setoff or defense that an Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. No Issuing Bank makes to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to any Letter of Credit, Collateral, LC Document or Obligor. No Issuing Bank shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d)No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Issuing Bank may (but is not obligated to) refrain from taking any action with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions (and in its discretion, appropriate assurances) from the Required Lenders.

2.3.3.    Cash Collateral. Subject to Section 2.1.5, if at any time (a) an Event of Default exists, (b) the Commitment Termination Date has occurred, or (c) the Revolver Termination Date is scheduled to occur within 5 Business Days, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize all the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and all other LC Obligations. Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request at any time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender. If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Administrative Agent) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.3.4.    Resignation of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers. From the effective date of such resignation, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers.

2.3.5.    Indemnification. In addition to (and not in any way in limitation of) any other terms r provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or LC Document providing for the indemnification of any Issuing Bank or otherwise, each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Issuing Bank Indemnitee (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Issuing Bank Indemnitee (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.9) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any LC Document, or any Drawing Document referred to in or related to any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration); in each case, including that resulting from the Issuing Bank Indemnitee’s own negligence; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Issuing Bank Indemnitee claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank Indemnitee claiming indemnity.    This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

 52

2.3.6.    Limitation of Liability. The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Indemnitee) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 3.    INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1.    Interest.

3.1.1.    Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a)The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation not paid when due (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolver Loans.

(b)During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.

(c)Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is not paid when due, until paid in full by Borrowers. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each quarter with respect to a Base Rate Revolver Loan, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Revolver Loan (except in the case of a LIBOR Revolver Loan with an Interest Period of more than 90 days’ duration, each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of 90 days’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period); (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2.    Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a)Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

 53

(b)Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate described in the definition of LIBOR.

3.1.3.    Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be 30, 60, 90 or 180 days (or, with the consent of all Lenders, such longer period not to exceed 360 days); provided, however, that:

(a)the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b)if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(c)no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolver Termination Date.

3.2.    Fees.

3.2.1.    Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Revolver Commitments exceed the average daily Revolver Usage during any quarter. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter and on the Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2.    LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Revolver Loans times the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter; (b) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each quarter; and (c) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum to the extent the Default Rate is applied pursuant to Section 3.1.1(b) hereof.

 54

3.2.3.    Fee Letters. Borrowers shall pay all fees set forth in any fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement (including the Agent Fee Letter and the Arranger Fee Letter) (collectively, the “Fee Letters” and each a “Fee Letter”).

3.3.    Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest (other than interest computed by reference to the Base Rate), as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days, and interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). Each determination by Administrative Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrower Agent by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4.    Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request. Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of- pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Administrative Agent’s personnel or a third party; provided that legal fees shall be limited to one firm of counsel and an additional local law firm in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected party, one additional firm of counsel to such affected party and one additional firm of local counsel to such affected party in each applicable jurisdiction. All reasonable and documented legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Administrative Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any alternative fee arrangements that Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals that otherwise might apply to this or any other transaction. Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide Administrative Agent with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based on counsel’s overall relationship with Administrative Agent, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting in any Borrower Materials), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.

3.5.    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise 

 55

to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

		
	3.6.
	Inability to Determine Rates.

3.6.1.    Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower Agent and Lenders if, in connection with any Loan or request for a Loan, (a) Administrative Agent determines that (i) any Interest Period is not available on the basis provided herein, (ii) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable Loan amount or Interest Period, or (iii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the Interest Period; or (b) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine for any reason that LIBOR for the Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding the Loan. Thereafter, Lenders’ obligations to make or maintain affected LIBOR Loans and utilization of the LIBOR component (if affected) in determining Base Rate shall be suspended and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as such LIBOR Loans until Administrative Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) withdraws the notice.

3.6.2.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower Agent) that the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b)the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(c)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with ansolely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 3.6.2 with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar

 56

U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a ““LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.(A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBOR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

		
	3.7.
	Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1.    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the 

 57

account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in calculating LIBOR) or any Issuing Bank;

(b)subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c)impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting any Loan, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, Commitment or Loan Document;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender or an Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, Borrowers will pay to it such additional amount(s) as will compensate it for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2.        Capital Requirements. If a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that a Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations or Loans, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered; provided, that such Lender or such Issuing Bank is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.

3.7.3.        LIBOR Loan Reserves. If any Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, Borrowers shall pay additional interest to such Lender on each LIBOR Loan equal to the costs of such reserves allocated to the Loan by the Lender (as determined by it in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive). The additional interest shall be due and payable on each interest payment date for the Loan; provided, however, that if the Lender notifies Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of the additional interest less than 10 days prior to the interest payment date, then such interest shall be payable 10 days after Borrowers’ receipt of the notice.

3.7.4.        Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that such Lender or 

 58

Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the applicable Change in Law and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.8.    Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then at the request of Borrower Agent, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9.    Funding Losses. If for any reason (a) any Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) Borrowers fail to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 14.4, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses, expenses and fees arising from redeployment of funds or termination of match funding. For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section, a Lender shall be deemed to have funded a LIBOR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and period, whether or not the Loan was in fact so funded.

3.10.    Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the Maximum Rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4.    LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1.    Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans.

4.1.1.    Notice of Borrowing.

(a)Whenever Borrowers desire funding of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).

 59

(b)Unless payment is otherwise made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligation (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan on the due date in the amount due and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed as direct payment of such Obligation. In addition, Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge such amount against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(c)If a Borrower maintains a disbursement account with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, then presentation for payment in the account of a Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan on the presentation date, in the amount of the Payment Item. Proceeds of the Loan may be disbursed directly to the account.

4.1.2.    Fundings by Lenders. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 1:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date for a Base Rate Loan or by 3:00 p.m. at least two Business Days before a proposed funding of a LIBOR Loan. Each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Administrative Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case Lender shall fund by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall disburse the Borrowing proceeds as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its share of a Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of a Borrowing or of a settlement under Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Administrative Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing. A Lender or an Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.

4.1.3.    Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a)To fulfill any request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan hereunder, Administrative Agent may in its discretion advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $15,000,000. Swingline Loans shall constitute Revolver Loans for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Administrative Agent for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below.

(b)Settlement of Loans, including Swingline Loans, among Lenders and Administrative Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (but at least weekly, unless the settlement amount is de minimis), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled. If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Lenders, whether due to an Obligor’s Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the 

 60

Loan to Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Administrative Agent’s request therefor. Lenders’ obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

4.1.4.    Notices. Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the records of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.

4.2.    Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

4.2.1.    Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC Obligations), Administrative Agent may in its discretion reallocate Pro Rata shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans from the calculation of shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 15.1.1(c).

4.2.2.    Payments; Fees. To the extent the Borrowers are required to pay any amounts to a Defaulting Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Administrative Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Administrative Agent may use such amounts to cover the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to readvance the amounts to Borrowers or to repay Obligations. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender and its unfunded Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay such unused line fee to such Defaulting Lender (or Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender). If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3.    Status; Cure. Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any breakage costs for reallocated LIBOR Loans) in accordance with the 

 61

readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Bank, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reallocation of Commitments and Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders or reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document. No Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3.    Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus an increment of $500,000 in excess thereof. No more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4.    Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the Company (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for and receipt of Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrower Materials, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Administrative Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, delivery, representation, agreement, action, omission or undertaking on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5.    One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6.    Effect of Termination. On the effective date of the termination of all Commitments, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and each Secured Bank Product Provider may terminate its Bank Products to the extent permitted by the agreements covering such Bank Products. Until Full Payment of the 

 62

Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 13, 15.2, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

SECTION 5.    PAYMENTS

5.1.    General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and subject to Section 5.9,                and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Borrowers agree that after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent deems advisable, but whenever possible, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

5.2.    Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. Subject to Section 2.1.5, if an Overadvance exists at any time, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Administrative Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce Revolver Usage to the Borrowing Base. If any Asset Disposition includes the disposition of Accounts, Borrowers shall apply Net Proceeds to repay Revolver Loans equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts, or (b) the reduction in Borrowing Base resulting from the disposition.

		
	5.3.
	[Reserved].

5.4.    Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5.    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or if Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.

		
	5.6.
	Application and Allocation of Payments.

5.6.1.    Application. Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required hereby; (b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (b) third, to other Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (c) fourth, as determined by Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 63

5.6.2.    Post-Default Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement):

(a)first, to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Administrative Agent;

(b)second, to all amounts owing to Administrative Agent on Swingline Loans, Protective Advances, and Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund;

(c)third, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank, ratably among each Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to it;

(d)fourth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees, indemnification, costs or expenses owing to Lenders;

(e)fifth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest;

(f)sixth, to Cash Collateralize all LC Obligations;

(g)seventh, to all Loans, and to Secured Bank Product Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements (including Cash Collateralization thereof) up to the amount of reserves existing therefor;

(h)eighth, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations; and

(i)last, to all remaining Obligations.

Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from a Secured Bank Product Provider. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section.

5.6.3.    Erroneous Application. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by a Secured Party, the Secured Party agrees to return it).

 64

5.7.    Dominion and Other Accounts. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account (and, at Administrative Agent option, any other Deposit Account or Securities Account over which Administrative Agent has a perfected Lien that Administrative Agent is able to sweep or otherwise direct the disposition of funds on deposit or credit therein) as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day, during any Sweep Trigger Period. If a credit balance results from such application, it shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists.

5.8.    Account Stated. Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder. Any failure of Administrative Agent to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

		
	5.9.
	Taxes.

5.9.1.    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.

(a)All payments of Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined by Administrative Agent in its discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or an Obligor, then Administrative Agent or such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, taking into account information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.10. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.9 overrides Section 5.1 with respect to deductions and withholding for any Taxes.

		
	(b)
	[Reserved].

(c)If Administrative Agent or any Obligor is required by any Applicable Law to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) Administrative Agent or such Obligor, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall apply such withholding or deduction and timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

5.9.2.    Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at Administrative Agent’s option, timely reimburse Administrative Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.

		
	5.9.3.
	Tax Indemnification.

(a)Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be

 65

withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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. Each Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, 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. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.9.4.    Evidence of Payments. If Administrative Agent or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower Agent or Borrower Agent shall deliver to Administrative Agent, respectively, a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or Borrower Agent, as applicable.

5.9.5.    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, nor have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or an Issuing Bank. If a Recipient determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers agree, upon request by the Recipient, to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrowers if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.

 66

5.9.6.    Survival. Each party’s obligations under Sections 5.9 and 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

		
	5.10.
	Lender Tax Information.

5.10.1.    Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding.    In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documentation (other than documentation described in Sections 5.10.2(a), (b) and (d)) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.

		
	5.10.2.
	Documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S.

Person,

(a)Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Borrowers and 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 other payments under the Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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;

		
	(ii)
	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)    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 in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section

 67

881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a 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 (“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W- 8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(iv)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, 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 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 Borrowers and 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 hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(d)if payment of an Obligation to a Recipient would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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), such Recipient shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with its 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 hereof.

5.10.3.    Administrative Agent Documentation On or before the date Bank of America becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent shall, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), deliver to the Borrower Agent two executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments), establishing that the Borrowers can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

5.10.4.    Redelivery of Documentation. If any form or certification previously delivered by a Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable shall promptly update the form or certification or notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

 68

		
	5.11.
	Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

5.11.1.    Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations, except its Excluded Swap Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
(a)    the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for any Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Administrative Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of the Obligations.

		
	5.11.2.
	Waivers.

(a)Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b)Administrative Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral or any Real Estate by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair

 69

any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Administrative Agent may bid Obligations, in whole or part, at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

		
	5.11.3.
	Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall not exceed the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described in clause (c) below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(b)If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, ratably based on their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c)Section 5.11.3(a) shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based on that calculation.

(d)Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.11 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations 

 70

of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.11.4.    Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.11.5.    Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of its Obligations.

SECTION 11. GUARANTY

11.1.    Guaranty. For value received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to the Borrowers by the Secured Parties, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined) and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by one or more Borrowers in favor of one or more Secured Parties in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means any and all existing and future Obligations of any Borrower to any Secured Party, whether associated with any credit or other financial accommodation made to or for the benefit of any Borrower by any Secured Party or otherwise and whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other 

 112

modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof); provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such Debt, obligations, and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

11.2.    No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.9) now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to Taxes) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the applicable Secured Party, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Secured Party to receive the same net amount which such Secured Party would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to such Secured Party certificates or other valid vouchers for all charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

11.3.    Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend (including increase), modify, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

11.4.    Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Secured Party to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the 

 113

Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; (f) any defense relating to the failure of any Secured Party to comply with the applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) any amendment or waiver of the term of any Guaranteed Obligation; (h) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation; (i) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty and (j) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any Collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

11.5.    Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrowers or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

11.6.    Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11.7.    Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Secured Party is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 114

11.8.    Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Debt of any Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of any Secured Party or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or Debt of any Borrower to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof, as well as any other amounts received by such Guarantor in violation of this Section, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

11.9.    Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by any Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent.

11.10.    Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of- pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the any Secured Party’s rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

11.11.    Miscellaneous. Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties or any term or provision thereof.

11.12.    Condition of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that the Secured Parties have no duty, and each Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

11.13.    Additional Guarantors. Each Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section 10.1.13 shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Guaranty upon execution and delivery by such Person of a supplement in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 115

SECTION 13. AGENTS

13.1.    Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agents.

13.1.1.    Appointment and Authority. Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under all Loan Documents. Each Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes each Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which such Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents. Any action taken by any Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by such Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver, as Administrative Agent, each Loan Document, including the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. Agents alone shall be authorized to determine eligibility and applicable advance rates under the Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate each Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment. In addition to the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent (x) to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and (y) with the consent of Required Lenders, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (i) to amend the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) enter into, or amend, similar agreements with the same or similar purpose, as agent for and on its behalf in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement and (iii) to enter into, or amend, any other subordination or intercreditor agreement to effect the subordination of Liens securing Obligations under the Loan Documents contemplated by Sections 10.2.1(h) and 10.2.1(i) as agent for and on its behalf in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement. Any such Intercreditor Agreement or subordination or intercreditor agreement entered into by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be binding upon each Secured Party. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 14.3) and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination and intercreditor agreement on behalf of such Secured Party and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement. Administrative Agent shall notify the Secured Parties of the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement when executed and shall provide a copy of the executed Intercreditor Agreement and any such subordination or intercreditor agreement to the Secured Parties as and when effective.

13.1.2.    Duties. The title of “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” is used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of Agents are administrative in nature only. No Agent has any 

 119

duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does any Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or relationship with any Secured Party or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction. The conferral upon any Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

13.1.3.    Agent Professionals. Each Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Each Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

13.1.4.    Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agents under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, each Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless such Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before such Agent takes the action. Any Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by such Agent. Any Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 15.1.1. In no event shall any Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to liability.

13.2.    Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.

13.2.1.    Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrower Agent certifies in writing is an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.9 or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Administrative Agent’s Liens (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) subject to Section 15.1, with the consent of Required Lenders. Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Administrative Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

13.2.2.    Possession of Collateral. Administrative Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any 
Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, 

 120

promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

13.2.3.    Reports. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit or appraisal report prepared for Administrative Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Administrative Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Administrative Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.

13.3.    Reliance By Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

13.4.    Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) or assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

13.5.    Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Secured Parties participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.2, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the full amount thereof to Administrative Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Administrative Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall set off against a Dominion Account without Administrative Agent’s prior consent.

 121

		
	13.6.
	Indemnification. EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD

HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR
FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT). In Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or an Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each Secured Party to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

13.7.    Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor.    No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

		
	13.8.
	Successor Administrative Agent.

13.8.1.    Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Any such resignation shall also constitute a resignation of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent. If Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition thereof, Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, remove such Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers and Administrative Agent. Required Lenders may appoint a successor to replace the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, which successor shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, then Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it (which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall on such date assume all rights and duties of Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance by any successor Administrative Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act. On the effective date of its resignation or 

 122

removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections under the Loan Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Administrative Agent, including the indemnification set forth in Sections 13.6 and 15.2, and all rights and protections under this Section 13. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.

13.8.2.    Co-Agent. If appropriate under Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Administrative Agent may request to effect such appointment. If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

13.9.    Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.

		
	13.10.
	Remittance of Payments and Collections.

13.10.1.    Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 1:00 p.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

13.10.2.    Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base 

 123

Rate Revolver Loans. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Administrative Agent, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on amounts held by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

13.10.3.    Recovery of Payments. If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Administrative Agent may recover such amount from the Secured Party. If Administrative Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to Obligations held by a Secured Party are later required to be returned by Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, such Secured Party shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, its share of the amounts required to be returned.

13.11.    Individual Capacities. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Administrative Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.

13.12.    Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated in connection with this credit facility as an “Arranger,” “Bookrunner” or “Administrative Agent” of any kind shall have no right or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party.

13.13.    Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by the Loan Documents, including Sections 5.6, 15.3.3 and 13. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.

13.14.    [Reserved]

.

13.15.    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 13 is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Administrative Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 13.8 with respect to the Borrowers, this Section 13 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between Borrowers and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

13.16.    Certain ERISA Matters.

 124

13.16.1.

SECTION 14. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS

Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 14.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

 126

		
	14.2.
	Participations.

14.2.1.    Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 14.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in writing.

14.2.2.    Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.

14.2.3.    Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the Participant’s name, address and interest in Commitments, Loans (including principal and stated interest) and LC Obligations. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under the Code.

14.2.4.    Benefit of Setoff. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 13.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

		
	14.3.
	Assignments.

14.3.1.    Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of
$5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Administrative Agent for acceptance and recording. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such 

 127

pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

14.3.2.    Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Administrative Agent of a fully executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit A and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed or waived by Administrative Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 14.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.10 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

14.3.3.    Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignee is permitted under the Loan Documents. Assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only if there is concurrent satisfaction of all outstanding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, including payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Administrative Agent) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender. If assignment by a Defaulting Lender occurs (by operation of law or otherwise) without compliance with the foregoing sentence, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.

14.3.4.    Register. Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each Assignment delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the Loans, principal interest and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

14.4.    Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) within the last 120 days failed to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) within the last 120 days gave a notice under Section 3.5 or requested payment or compensation under Section 3.7 or 5.9 (and has not designated a different Lending Office pursuant to Section 3.8), then Administrative Agent or Borrower Agent may, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s), within 20 days after such notice. Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.

 128

 129

15.1.2.    Limitations. The agreement of Borrowers shall not be required for any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves but the parties to such shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers. Only the consent of the parties to any agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for modification of such agreement, and no Bank Product provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

15.1.3.    Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

15.2.    Indemnity. EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON AND, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim (a) that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (b) arises out of or is in connection with any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving an act or omission of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against any Agent in its capacity as such); and Claims consisting of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitees will be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole and one firm of local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected Indemnitee Party, one additional counsel to such affected Indemnitee.

		
	15.3.
	Notices and Communications.

15.3.1.    Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 15.3. Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.3, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Administrative Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

 130

15.3.2.    Communications. Electronic communications (including e-mail, messaging and websites) may be used only in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent and only for routine communications, such as delivery of Borrower Materials, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents and matters permitted under Section 4.1.4. Secured Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic communications. E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.

15.3.3.    Platform. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent (“Platform”). Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform.    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 AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail, or any other electronic platform or messaging system.

15.3.4.    Public Information.    Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information may not be segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include Obligors’ material non-public information, and should not be made available to personnel who do not wish to receive such information or may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to an Obligor’s securities.

15.3.5.    Non-Conforming Communications. Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

15.4.    Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or, upon notice to Borrower Agent unless an Event of Default exists, do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All reasonable and documented payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Administrative Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the 

 131

Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

15.5.    Credit Inquiries. Administrative Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

15.6.    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

15.7.    Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), the provision herein shall govern and control.

15.8.    Counterparts; Execution. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Administrative Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any signature, contract formation or record-keeping through electronic means shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as manual or paper-based methods, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

15.9.    Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

15.10.    Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Administrative Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

15.11.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any arranging or other services by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their Affiliates, on one hand, and Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and

 132

(iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not claim that Administrative Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates or any arranger has rendered advisory services of any nature or owes any agency or fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

15.12.    Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; provided that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, each of Administrative Agent and each Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrowers (without any liability for a failure to so notify the Borrower) of any request made to such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such Information prior to disclosure of such Information; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers; (h) on a confidential basis to a provider of a Platform; or (i) with the consent of Borrower Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs approved by Borrower Agent in advertising materials; provided, however that such general information does not include any Information required to be kept confidential pursuant to this Section 15.12. As used herein, “Information” means information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. A Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information. Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.
15.13. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other 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 

 133

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):

(a)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.

		
	(b)
	As used in this Section 5.13, the following terms have the following

meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
		
	1.
	[Reserved.].

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.
§ 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

15.14.    GOVERNING LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY 

 134

CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

15.15.    Consent to Forum; Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

15.15.1. Forum.

EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING ANY SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM.    EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 15.3.1. A final judgment in any proceeding of any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

15.15.2. Other Jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

15.15.3. 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 the parties, each party hereto (including each Secured Party) acknowledges that any liability arising under a Loan Document of any Secured Party that is an EEA Financial Institution, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority, and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising under any Loan Documents which may be payable to it by any Secured Party that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any 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.

 135

(c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Administrative Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any party hereto on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan

Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Administrative Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act.
