THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01.  Commitments to Make Syndicated Loans.  Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Syndicated Loans to the Borrower from time to time before the
Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each such Syndicated Loan is made, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Syndicated Loans by such Bank (together with, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, the aggregate principal amount of all Swing
Line Loans) shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment, provided further that the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans and Swing Line Loans, at any one time
outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Banks at such time.  Each Syndicated Borrowing under this Section that is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of
$1,000,000 and each Syndicated Borrowing under this Section that is a Base Rate Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000 (except that any such Syndicated Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the
Unused Commitments) and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10, prepay Syndicated
Loans and reborrow under this Section at any time before the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.02.  Method of Borrowing Syndicated Loans.  (a)  The Borrower shall give the Agent notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (a “Notice of Borrowing”) prior to
11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Domestic Business Day of each Base Rate Borrowing and at least 3 Euro-Dollar Business Days before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:

(i)         the date of such Syndicated Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar
Borrowing,

(ii)        the aggregate amount of such Syndicated Borrowing,

(iii)       whether the Syndicated Loans comprising such Syndicated Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and

(iv)       in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(b)        Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such Syndicated Borrowing and
such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(c)        Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of each Syndicated Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section) make
available its ratable share of such Syndicated Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the Agent at its address referred to in or specified pursuant to Section 9.01.  Unless the Agent determines that any
applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address.  Unless the Agent receives notice from a Bank, at the Agent’s
address referred to in Section 9.01, no later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at such address) on the Domestic Business Day before the date of a Syndicated Borrowing stating that such Bank will not make a Syndicated Loan in connection with such Syndicated
Borrowing, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Bank will make a Syndicated Loan in connection with such Syndicated Borrowing and, in reliance on such assumption, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make available such Bank’s ratable share
of such Syndicated Borrowing to the Borrower for the account of such Bank.  If the Agent makes such Bank’s ratable share available to the Borrower and such Bank does not in fact make its ratable share of such Syndicated Borrowing available on such date,
the Agent shall be entitled to recover such Bank’s ratable share from such Bank or the Borrower (and for such purpose shall be entitled to charge such amount to any account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent), together with interest thereon for each day
during the period from the date of such Syndicated Borrowing until such sum shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the rate at which the Agent determines that it obtained (or could have obtained) overnight Federal funds to cover such amount for each such
day during such period, provided that any such payment by the Borrower of such Bank’s ratable share and interest thereon shall be without prejudice to any rights that the Borrower may have against such Bank.  If such Bank shall repay to the Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Syndicated Loan included in such Syndicated Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)        If any Bank makes a new Syndicated Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Syndicated Loan from such Bank, such Bank shall apply
the proceeds of its new Syndicated Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in subsection (c) of this
Section, or remitted by the Borrower to the Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Euro-Dollar Borrowing may be made if there shall have occurred a Default or an Event of Default, which
Default or Event of Default shall not have been cured or waived in writing.

(f)         In the event that a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be made
as Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower is otherwise entitled under this Agreement to repay any Loans maturing at the end of an Interest Period applicable thereto with the proceeds of a new Borrowing, and the Borrower fails to repay such Loans using its own moneys
and fails to give a Notice of Borrowing in connection with such new corresponding Borrowing, a new Borrowing shall be deemed to be made on the date such Loans mature in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loans so maturing, and the Loans comprising such
new Borrowing shall be Base Rate Loans.

(g)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) there shall not be more than 8 different Interest Periods for both Euro-Dollar Loans and Money Market Loans
outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in different numbered clauses of the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous) and (ii) the proceeds
of any Base Rate Borrowing shall be applied first to repay the unpaid principal amount of all Base Rate Loans (if any) outstanding immediately before such Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03.  Money Market Loans.  (a) In addition to making Syndicated Borrowings, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the Banks to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the
Borrower.  The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section, provided that:

(i)         there may be no more than 8 different Interest Periods for both Euro-Dollar Loans and Money Market Loans outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods
described in different numbered clauses of the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous);

(ii)        the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans and Swing Line Loans, at any one time outstanding
shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Banks at such time; and

(iii)       No Money Market Loan made by any Bank shall reduce such Bank’s obligation hereunder to make Loans to the Borrower equal to its pro rata share of then remaining Unused
Commitments.

(b)        When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans, it shall give the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) notice substantially in the form of
Exhibit E hereto (a “Money Market Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) two Domestic Business Days prior to the date of the Money Market Borrowing proposed therein (or such other time and
date as the Borrower and the Agent, with the consent of the Required Banks, may agree), specifying:

(i)         the proposed date of such Money Market Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day (the “Quotation Date”);

(ii)        the aggregate amount of such Money Market Borrowing, which shall be at least $5,000,000 (and in larger multiples of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section
2.03(a) to be violated; and

(iii)       the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall be 7 to 180 days.

The Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for up to three different Interest Periods in a single Money Market Quote Request; provided that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a
separate Money Market Quote Request for a separate Money Market Borrowing.  Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall not deliver a Money Market Quote Request more frequently than once every 5 Domestic Business
Days.

(c)        (i)         Each Bank may, but shall have no obligation to, submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer to make a Money Market Loan in
response to any Money Market Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section 2.03(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Bank may, but shall have no obligation to, make a single submission containing a separate offer for each
such Interest Period and each such separate offer shall be deemed to be a separate Money Market Quote.  Each Money Market Quote must be submitted to the Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Quotation Date (or such other time
and date as the Borrower and the Agent, with the consent of the Required Banks, may agree); provided that any Money Market Quote submitted by Wachovia may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if Wachovia notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer
contained therein not later than 9:45 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Quotation Date.  Subject to Section 6.01, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the
Borrower.

(ii)        Each Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto and shall specify:

(A)       the proposed date of the Money Market Borrowing and the duration of the Interest Period therefor, which shall be 7 to 180 days;

(B)       the maximum principal amount of the Money Market Loan which the quoting Bank is willing to make for the applicable Interest Period, which principal amount (x) may be greater than or less
than the Commitment of the quoting Bank, (y) shall be at least $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for which offers were requested;

(C)       the rate of interest per annum (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) (the “Money Market Rate”) offered for each such Money Market Loan; and

(D)       the identity of the quoting Bank.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Borrower, no Money Market Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Money
Market Quote Request (other than setting forth the maximum principal amount of the Money Market Loan which the quoting Bank is willing to make for the applicable Interest Period).

(d)        The Agent shall as promptly as practicable after the Money Market Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 10:30 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) notify the
Borrower of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with Section 2.03(c) and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with
respect to the same Money Market Quote Request.  Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote.  The
Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the maximum principal amount and Money Market Rates so offered by each Bank (identifying the Bank
that made each Money Market Quote).

(e)        Not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Quotation Date (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Agent, with the consent of the Required Banks,
may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank that has submitted a Money Market Quote.  In the case of acceptance, such
notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted.  The Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part (provided that any Money Market Quote accepted in part from any Bank shall not be less
than the amount set forth in the Money Market Quote of such Bank as the minimum principal amount of the Money Market Loan such Bank was willing to make for the applicable Interest Period); provided that:

(i)         the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request;

(ii)        the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing shall be at least $5,000,000 (and in larger multiples of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in
Section 2.03(a) to be violated;

(iii)       acceptance of offers may only be made in ascending order of Money Market Rates; and

(iv)       the Borrower may not accept any offer where the Agent has advised the Borrower that such offer fails to comply with Section 2.03(c)(ii) or otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.03(a)).

If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of
Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Borrower among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $100,000) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers.  Determinations by the Borrower
of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)         Any Bank whose offer to make any Money Market Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 12:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Quotation Date, make the amount
of such Loan available to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01 in immediately available funds.  The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower on such date by
depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of such Borrower maintained with Wachovia.

(g)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) the
option to fund all or any part of any Money Market Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Money Market Loan, and (ii)
if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Money Market Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Money Market Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The funding of a Money Market Loan by an SPC
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Money Market Loan were funded by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for
which a Bank would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its funding of Money Market Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC.  This Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all
or any part of whose Money Market Loan is being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment.

SECTION 2.04.  Notes.  (a)  The Syndicated Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Syndicated Note payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Lending Office in an amount
equal to the original principal amount of such Bank’s Commitment.

(b)        The Money Market Loans made by any Bank to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single Money Market Note payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Lending
Office.

(c)        The Swing Line Loans made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single Swing Line Note payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender.

(d)        Upon receipt of each Bank’s Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, the Agent shall deliver such Notes to such Bank.  Each Bank shall record, and prior to any transfer of its
Notes shall endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence, the date, amount and maturity of, and effective interest rate for, each Loan made by it, the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect
thereto and whether, in the case of such Bank’s Syndicated Note, such Syndicated Loan is a Base Rate Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan, and such schedule shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Bank’s
Notes; provided that the failure of any Bank to make, or any error in making, any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the ability of any Bank to assign its Notes.  Each Bank is
hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

SECTION 2.05.  Maturity of Loans.  Each Loan included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Borrowing.

SECTION 2.06.  Interest Rates.  (a)  ”Applicable Margin” shall be determined quarterly based upon the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal
Quarter) to EBITDAR (calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter for the Fiscal Quarter then ended and the immediately preceding three Fiscal Quarters), as follows:

Ratio of Consolidated                              Base Rate Loans

Total Debt to EBITDAR                          and Swing Line
Loans                Euro-Dollar Loans

Greater than
2.5                                              
0%                                          
..90%

Greater than 2.0 but

equal to or less than
2.5                                   
0%                                          
..65%

Less than or equal to
2.0                                  
0%                                          
..50%

The Applicable Margin shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the “Rate Determination Date”) which is 60 days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter as of the end of which the foregoing ratio is
being determined, based on the quarterly financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter, and the Applicable Margin so determined shall remain effective from such Rate Determination Date until the date which is 60 days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which
such Rate Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Rate Determination Date); provided that (i) for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Rate Determination Date next following the Closing Date, the Applicable
Margin shall be (A) 0% for Base Rate Loans, and (B) .50% for Euro-Dollar Loans, (ii) in the case of any Applicable Margin determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a Fiscal Year, the Rate Determination Date shall be the date which is 120 days
after the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable Margin shall be determined based upon the annual audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended on the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter,  and (iii) if on any Rate Determination Date
the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Banks the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) with respect to the Fiscal Year or Fiscal Quarter, as the case may be, most recently ended prior to such Rate
Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Rate Determination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Banks the financial statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b) with respect to such
Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Quarter, or (B) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Banks annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year which includes such Fiscal Quarter
or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAR was more than 2.5 at all times during such period.  Any change in the Applicable Margin on any Rate Determination Date shall result in
a corresponding change, effective on and as of such Rate Determination Date, in the interest rate applicable to each Syndicated Loan outstanding on such Rate Determination Date; provided, that:  (i) for Euro-Dollar Loans, changes in Applicable Margin shall only
be effective for Interest Periods commencing on or after the Rate Determination Date; and (ii) no Applicable Margin shall be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.06 if a Default is in existence on the Rate Determination Date.

(b)        Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.  Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof.  Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan
(excluding a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(c)        Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of: (1) the
Applicable Margin, plus (2) the Usage Margin, plus (3) the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period; provided that if any Euro-Dollar Loan shall, as a result of clause (1)(c) of the definition of Interest Period, have an
Interest Period of less than one month, such Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest during such Interest Period at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period.  Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if
such Interest Period is longer than 3 months, at intervals of 3 months after the first day thereof.  Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for
each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) by dividing
(i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Euro-Dollar Loan means for the Interest Period of such Euro-Dollar Loan the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars of
amounts equal or comparable to the principal amount of such Euro-Dollar Loan offered for a term comparable to such Interest Period, which rate appears on the display designated as Page “3750” of the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page

Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period.

“Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage” means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor)
for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents).  The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and
as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

(d)        Each Money Market Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market
Rate for such Loan quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03.  Such interest shall be payable for such Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than 90 days, at intervals of 90 days after the first
day thereof.  Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Money Market Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(e)        The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder.  The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks by telecopy of each rate of
interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)         After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the principal amount of the Loans (excluding any Swing Line Loans) (and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of the Required Banks, bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, that automatically whether or not the Required Banks elect to do so, any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest on any Loan (excluding any Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the principal amount of the
Swing Line Loans (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of the Swing Line Lender, bear interest at the Default Rate.

(g)        Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for
such day plus the Applicable Margin.  Such interest shall be payable for such Interest Period on the last day thereof.  Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on the Swing Line Loans may, at the election of
the Swing Line Lender, bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

SECTION 2.07.  Fees.  (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of each Bank a facility fee equal to the product of:  (i) the aggregate of the daily average amounts of
such Bank’s Commitment, times (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate.  Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to and including the Termination Date.  Facility fees shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first Facility Fee Payment Date following each Facility Fee Determination Date and on the Termination Date; provided that should the Commitments be terminated at any time prior to the Termination Date for any reason, the entire accrued and
unpaid facility fee shall be paid on the date of such termination.  The “Applicable Facility Fee Rate” shall be determined quarterly based upon the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter) to EBITDAR
(calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter for the Fiscal Quarter then ended and the immediately preceding three Fiscal Quarters) as follows:

Ratio of
Consolidated                                                  
      Applicable

Total Debt to
EBITDAR                                              
   Facility Fee Rate

Greater than
2.5                                                                      
..225%

Greater than 2.0          

but equal to or less than
2.5                                                     
..175%

Less than or equal to

..15%

The Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the “Facility Fee Determination Date”) which is 60 days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter as of the end of which the
foregoing ratio is being determined, based on the quarterly financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter, and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate so determined shall remain effective from such Facility Fee Determination Date until the date which is 60 days after the
last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Facility Fee Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Facility Fee Determination Date); provided that (i) for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Facility Fee
Determination Date next following the Closing Date, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be .15%; (ii) in the case of any Applicable Facility Fee Rate determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a Fiscal Year, the Facility Fee Determination Date shall be
the date which is 120 days after the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based upon the annual audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended on the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter, and (iii)
if on any Facility Fee Determination Date the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Banks the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) with respect to the Fiscal Year or Fiscal Quarter, as the case may be,
most recently ended prior to such Facility Fee Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Facility Fee Determination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Banks the financial statements to be
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Quarter, and (B) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Banks annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect
to the Fiscal Year which includes such Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined as if the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAR was more than 2.5 at all times during such period.

(b)        The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account and sole benefit of the Agent, such fees and other amounts at such times as set forth in the Agent’s Letter
Agreement.

SECTION 2.08.  Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower may, upon at least 3 Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Agent, terminate at any time, or proportionately reduce
from time to time by an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, the Commitments; provided, however, no such termination or reduction shall be in an amount greater than the Total Unused Commitments on the date of such termination
or reduction.  If the Commitments are terminated in their entirety, all accrued fees (as provided under Section 2.07) shall be payable on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.09.  Mandatory Reduction and Termination of Commitments.  The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date and any Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall
be due and payable on such date.

SECTION 2.10.  Optional Prepayments.  (a)  The Borrower may, upon at least 1 Domestic Business Day’s notice to the Agent, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing in whole at any time, or from time to
time in part in amounts aggregating at least $1,000,000, or any larger multiple of $500,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.  Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay
ratably the Base Rate Loans of the several Banks included in such Base Rate Borrowing.

(b)        Except as provided in Section 8.02, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Money Market Loan prior to the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless such prepayment is accompanied by the amount due with respect thereto under Section 8.05(a).

(c)        The Borrower may prepay any Swing Line Loan in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof by paying the
principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(d)        Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such
prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11.  Mandatory Prepayments.  On each date on which the Commitments are reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.08 or Section 2.09, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal
amount of the outstanding Loans, if any (together with interest accrued thereon and any amounts due under Section 8.05(a)), as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans does not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments as then reduced.  Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied to repay or prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks; provided that such prepayment shall be applied, first, to Syndicated Loans outstanding on the date of such prepayment
(in direct order of maturity) and then, to the extent necessary, to Money Market Loans outstanding on the date of such prepayment (in direct order of maturity).

SECTION 2.12.  General Provisions as to Payments. (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of commitment fees hereunder, not later than 11:00 A.M.
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01.  The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of
each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks.

(b)        Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or the Money Market Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date
for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day.  If the date for any payment of
principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(c)        All payments of principal, interest and fees and all other amounts to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Loan or fee relating thereto shall be
paid without deduction for, and free from, any tax, imposts, levies, duties, deductions, or withholdings of any nature now or at anytime hereafter imposed by any governmental authority or by any taxing authority thereof or therein excluding in the case of each Bank,
taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, imposts, levies, duties, deductions or withholdings of any nature being “Taxes”).  In the event that
the Borrower is required by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction of Taxes with respect to any Loan or fee or other amount, the Borrower shall pay such deduction or withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall promptly furnish to any Bank
in respect of which such deduction or withholding is made all receipts and other documents evidencing such payment and shall pay to such Bank additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount received by such Bank after the required withholding or other
payment shall equal the amount such Bank would have received had no such withholding or other payment been made.  If no withholding or deduction of Taxes are payable in respect of any Loan or fee relating thereto, the Borrower shall furnish any Bank, at such
Bank’s request, a certificate from each applicable taxing authority or an opinion of counsel acceptable to such Bank, in either case stating that such payments are exempt from or not subject to withholding or deduction of Taxes.  If the Borrower fails to
provide such original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of Taxes or certificate(s) or opinion of counsel of exemption, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate such Bank for, and indemnify them with respect to, the tax consequences of the
Borrower’s failure to provide evidence of tax payments or tax exemption.

In the event any Bank receives a refund of any Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12, it will pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided, however, if
at any time thereafter it is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay to it the amount of such refund.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.12 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant, Assignee or
other Transferee, and any calculations required by such provisions (i) shall be made based upon the circumstances of such Participant, Assignee or other Transferee, and (ii) constitute a continuing agreement and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment in full or cancellation of the Notes.

SECTION 2.13.  Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  Interest on Euro-Dollar Loans and interest on Money Market Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period from and including the first day
thereof to but excluding the last day thereof.  Facility fees and any other fees payable  hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.14.  Swing Line Loans.  (a) The Borrower may prior to the Termination Date, as set forth in this Section, request the Swing Line Lender to make, and the Swing Line Lender prior to the Termination
Date will make, Swing Line Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding, not exceeding $5,000,000, provided that:

(i)         the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Loans, at any one time outstanding shall
not at any one time exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Banks at such time; and

(ii)        the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans, together with all outstanding Loans made by the Swing Line Lender, at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the
Commitment of the Swing Line Lender.

(b)        When the Borrower wishes to request a Swing Line Loan, it shall give the Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (a “Swing Line Loan Request”)
so as to be received no later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on or before the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing proposed therein (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may agree), specifying:

(i)         the proposed date of such Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day (the “Borrowing Date”); and

(ii)        the aggregate amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be at least $500,000 (or in larger multiples of $100,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section
2.14(a) to be violated.

(c)        The Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of
such Borrower maintained with the Swing Line Lender.

(d)        Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.14, prepay and reborrow under this Section 2.14 at any time before the
Termination Date. Each Swing Line Loan included in any Swing Line Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the first to occur of:  (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swing Line Borrowing; or
(ii) the Termination Date;

(e)        At any time, upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, each Bank other than the Swing Line Lender shall, on the third Domestic Business Day after such request is made, purchase a
participating interest in Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its ratable share (based upon its respective Commitment) of such Swing Line Loans.  On such third Domestic Business Day, each Bank will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately
available funds, the amount of its participation.  Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any such Bank its participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Agent will distribute to
such Bank its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in
the event that such payment received by the Agent is required to be returned, such Bank will return to the  Agent any portion thereof previously distributed by the Agent to it.  Each Bank’s obligation to purchase such participating interests shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation:  (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Lender requesting such
purchase or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;  (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Commitments, provided that no Bank shall be required to purchase a participating interest in any Swing Line
Loan first advanced after the Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person;  (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other
Bank, provided that no Bank shall be required to purchase a participating interest in any Swing Line Loan, if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans exceeds $5,000,000;  or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

                        (f)         In furtherance and not in
limitation of the rights set forth in Section 2.14(e), the Swing Line Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Agent, demand repayment of its Swing Line Loans by way of a Syndicated Loan borrowing, in which case the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Syndicated Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swing Line Loans; provided, however, that, in the following circumstances, any such demand shall also be deemed to have been given one
Domestic Business Day prior to each of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h), (iii) upon acceleration of the Notes or any other amount payable hereunder or under the Credit Documents,
whether on account of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) or any other Event of Default, and (iv) the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof (each such Syndicated Loan borrowing made on account of
any such deemed request therefor as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as a “Swing Line Mandatory Borrowing”).  Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Syndicated Loans promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account
of each Swing Line Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (A) the amount of Swing Line Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Syndicated
Loans otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.02 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (D) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time
otherwise required in Section 2.02, (E) the date of such Swing Line Mandatory Borrowing, or (F) any reduction in the Commitments or termination of the Commitments immediately prior to such Swing Line Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith.

(g)        Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Swing Line Loan facility contained in this Section 2.14 shall terminate immediately upon:  (i)
Wachovia’s removal or resignation as Agent; or (ii) termination of the Commitments (whether at maturity or otherwise).

Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings
hereunder or under any other Loan Document except to the extent requested by the Required Banks, and then only on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Agent, and (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.  The duties of the Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank.

SECTION 7.02.  Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telefax, telegram or cable) believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants or other experts selected by the Agent.  As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the
Required Banks in any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

SECTION 7.03.  Defaults.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans)
unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or
an Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks.  The Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of each non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans, whether or not it has received any notice of the occurrence of such
non-payment.  The Agent shall (subject to Section 9.05) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks.

SECTION 7.04.  Rights of Agent and its Affiliates as a Bank.  With respect to any Loan made by Wachovia or an Affiliate of Wachovia, such Affiliate and Wachovia in their capacity as a Bank hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Affiliate of Wachovia (or in Wachovia’s case, acting as the Agent), and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include such Affiliate of Wachovia or Wachovia in its individual capacity.  Such Affiliate and Wachovia may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if they were not an Affiliate of the Agent or the Agent, respectively; and such Affiliate and Wachovia may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower (in addition to any
agency fees and arrangement fees heretofore agreed to between the Borrower and Wachovia) for services in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

SECTION 7.05.  Indemnification.  Each Bank severally agrees to indemnify the Agent, to the extent the Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, for
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (excluding, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or any such other documents; provided, however,
that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent.  If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

SECTION 7.06.  CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  THE AGENT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY BANK, THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY
BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

SECTION 7.07.  Payee of Note Treated as Owner.  The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent and the provisions of Section 9.07(c) have been satisfied.  Any requests, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of that Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor or replacement thereof.   Each Bank acknowledges that each Person designated as an “Arranger,”
a “Documentation Agent” or a “Syndication Agent” shall have no right, duty or responsibility, and shall incur no liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in its capacity as an “Arranger,” a “Documentation
Agent” or a “Syndication Agent.”

SECTION 7.08.  Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks.  Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Agent shall not be required to keep itself (or any Bank) informed as to the performance or
observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or any other Person.  Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrower or any other Person (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent.

SECTION 7.09.  Failure to Act.  Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to
act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Banks of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.05 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by the Agent by reason of taking,
continuing to take, or failing to take any such action.

SECTION 7.10.  Resignation or Removal of Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks
and the Borrower and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation or the Required Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Agent.  Any successor Agent shall be a bank which has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION

SECTION 8.01.  Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a)        the Agent determines that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b)        the Required Banks advise the Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding the
relevant type of Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks
to make the type of Euro-Dollar Loans specified in such notice shall be suspended.  Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least 2 Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given
that it elects not to borrow on such date, such borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 8.02.  Illegality.  If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (any such authority, bank or agency being referred to as an “Authority” and any such event
being referred to as a “Change of Law”), or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Lending Office) to
make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise
to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended.  Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall
so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount due such Bank pursuant to Section 8.05(a).  Concurrently
with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank
shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.03.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return.  (a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any Authority:

(i)         shall subject any Bank (or its Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans,
or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Euro-Dollar Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar
Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

(ii)        shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Lending
Office); or

(iii)       shall impose on any Bank (or its Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar
Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its
Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)        If any Bank shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any existing or
future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Bank for such reduction.

(c)        Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation
pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  A certificate
of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

(d)        The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant, Assignee or other Transferee, and any calculations required by such provisions shall be
made based upon the circumstances of such Participant, Assignee or other Transferee.

SECTION 8.04.  Base Rate Loans Substituted for Euro-Dollar Loans.  If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any
Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03, and the Borrower shall, by at least 5 Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until
such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

(a)        all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (in all cases interest and principal on such Loans shall be
payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

(b)        after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base
Rate Loans instead.

In the event that the Borrower shall elect that the provisions of this Section shall apply to any Bank, the Borrower shall remain liable for, and shall pay to such Bank as provided herein, all amounts due such Bank under
Section 8.03 in respect of the period preceding the date of conversion of such Bank’s Loans resulting from the Borrower’s election.

SECTION 8.05.  Compensation.  Upon the request of any Bank, delivered to the Borrower and the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Bank for any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of:

(a)        any payment or prepayment (pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 8.02 or otherwise) of a Euro-Dollar Loan or a Money Market Loan on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market Loan, as the case may be;

(b)        any failure by the Borrower to prepay a Euro-Dollar Loan  or a Money Market Loan on the date for such prepayment specified in the relevant notice of prepayment
hereunder;

(c)        any failure by the Borrower to borrow a Euro-Dollar Loan on the date for the Euro-Dollar Borrowing of which such Euro-Dollar Loan is a part specified in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 2.02; or

(d)        any failure by the Borrower to borrow a Money Market Loan (with respect to which the Borrower has accepted a Money Market Quote) on the date for the Money Market Borrowing of which
such Money Market Loan is a part specified in the applicable Money Market Quote Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03;

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid or prepaid or not prepaid or borrowed for the period from
the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to prepay or borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan (or, in the case of a failure to prepay or borrow, the Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan which would have
commenced on the date of such failure to prepay or borrow) at the applicable rate of interest for such Euro-Dollar Loan provided for herein over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) such Bank would have paid on (i) deposits in Dollars of
comparable amounts having terms comparable to such period placed with it by leading banks in the London interbank market.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.01.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party
at its address or telecopy number set forth on the signature pages hereof or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to each other party.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be
effective (i) if given by telecopier, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in this Section and the telecopy machine used by the sender provides a written confirmation that such telecopy has been so transmitted or receipt of such telecopy
transmission is otherwise confirmed, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, and (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in
this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 9.02.  No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof
nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.

SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification.  (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent,
in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any waiver or consent hereunder or thereunder or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder or thereunder and (ii) if a Default occurs, all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom, including out-of-pocket expenses incurred in enforcing this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(b)        The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arranger and each Bank against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Authority by reason of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c)        The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arranger, the Banks and each Affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of
them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any
extension of credit by any Bank hereunder or breach by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from investigation, litigation (including, without limitation, any actions taken by the Agent or any of the Banks to enforce this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents) or other proceeding (including, without limitation, any threatened investigation or proceeding) relating to the foregoing, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent, the Arranger and each Bank, and each Affiliate thereof and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees) incurred in connection with any such investigation or proceeding; but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified.

SECTION 9.04.  Setoffs; Sharing of Set-Offs.  (a) The Borrower hereby grants to each Bank, as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement, a continuing lien on and security interest in all deposits and other sums credited by or due from such Bank to the Borrower or subject to withdrawal by the Borrower; and regardless of the adequacy of any collateral or other means of obtaining repayment of
such obligations, each Bank may at any time upon or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and without notice to the Borrower, set off the whole or any portion or portions of any or all such deposits and other sums against such obligations, whether or not any
other Person or Persons could also withdraw money therefrom.

(b)        Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and
interest owing with respect to the Syndicated Notes held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of all principal and interest owing with respect to the Syndicated Notes held by such other Bank, the
Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Syndicated Notes held by the other Banks owing to such other Banks, and/or such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal
and interest with respect to the Syndicated Notes held by the Banks owing to such other Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim
it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness (including, without limitation, Money Market Loans) of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Syndicated Notes, and (ii) if all or any portion of such payment
received by the purchasing Bank is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each other Bank shall be rescinded and such other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price of such participation to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such other Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such other Bank’s required repayment to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Syndicated Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.05.  Amendments and Waivers.  (a) Any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is
signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) change the Commitment of any Bank or subject any
Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) change the principal of or reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or any of the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) under the Guaranty, (iii) change the date fixed for any payment of principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or any of the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) under the Guaranty, (iv) change the amount of principal, or reduce the amount of interest or fees due on any date fixed for the payment thereof under this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Documents, (v) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the percentage of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any
other provision of this Agreement or modify the definition of Required Banks, (vi) change the manner of application of any payments made under this Agreement, the Guaranty or the Notes, or (vii) release, discharge or terminate any guaranty given to support
payment of the Loans (including without limitation the Guaranty); provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by the Swing Line Lender, change any provision of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.14) relating to the Swing
Line Loans.

(b)        The Borrower will not solicit, request or negotiate for or with respect to any proposed waiver or amendment of any of the provisions of this Agreement unless each Bank shall be
informed thereof by the Borrower and shall be afforded an opportunity of considering the same and shall be supplied by the Borrower with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect thereto.  Executed or true and correct copies
of any waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be delivered by the Borrower to each Bank forthwith following the date on which the same shall have been executed and delivered by the requisite percentage of Banks.  The
Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Bank (in its capacity as such) as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such
Bank of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to all such Banks.

SECTION 9.06.  Margin Stock Collateral.  Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise),
relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07.  Successors and Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement.

(b)        Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Bank, any Note held by such Bank, any
Commitment hereunder or any other interest of such Bank hereunder.  In the event of any such sale by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely
responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement.  In no event shall a Bank that sells a participation be obligated to the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder except that such Bank may agree that it will not (except as provided below), without the
consent of the Participant, agree to (i) the change of any date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans, (ii) the change of the amount of any principal, or the reduction of any interest or fees due on any date fixed for the
payment thereof with respect to the related Loan or Loans, (iii) the change of the principal of the related Loan or Loans, (iv) any reduction in the rate at which either interest is payable thereon or (if the Participant is entitled to any part thereof)
commitment fee is payable hereunder from the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive interest or commitment fee (as the case may be) in respect of such participation, (v) the release or substitution of all or any substantial part of any Collateral
held as security for the Loans, or (vi) the release of any guaranty given to support payment of the Loans.  Each Bank selling a participating interest in any Loan, Note, Commitment or other interest under this Agreement shall, within 10 Domestic Business Days of
such sale, provide the Borrower and the Agent with written notification stating that such sale has occurred and identifying the Participant and the interest purchased by such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participation in Loans outstanding from time to time.

(c)        Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or financial institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and such Assignee shall assume all such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, executed by such Assignee, such transferor Bank and
the Agent (and, in the case of:  (i) an Assignee that is not then a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank; and (ii) an assignment not made during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, by the Borrower); provided that (i) no interest may be sold by a
Bank pursuant to this paragraph (c) unless the Assignee shall agree to assume ratably equivalent portions of the transferor Bank’s Commitment, (ii) the amount of the Commitment being assigned pursuant to such assignment shall be equal to $10,000,000 (or
any larger multiple of $1,000,000) (except that any such assignment may be in the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the transferor Bank), (iii) no interest may be sold by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph (c) to any Assignee that is not then a Bank or an
Affiliate of a Bank without the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be necessary with respect to any assignment made during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default;
(iv) a Bank may not have more than two (2) Assignees that are not then Banks (or affiliates of a Bank) at any one time, and (v) no interest may be sold by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph (c) to any Assignee that is not then a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank,
without the consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, that although the Agent’s consent may not be necessary with respect to an Assignee that is then a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank, no such assignment shall be effective
until the conditions set forth in the following sentence are satisfied.  Upon (A) execution of the Assignment and Acceptance by such transferor Bank, such Assignee, the Agent and (if applicable) the Borrower, (B) delivery of an executed copy of the
Assignment and Acceptance to the Borrower and the Agent, (C) payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, and (D) payment to the Agent by the assigning Bank of a
processing and recordation fee of $1,000, if the assignee is then a Bank or affiliate of a Bank or $3,500 if the assignee is not then a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank, such Assignee shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the
rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights of a Bank under Section 2.03) to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the
transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Banks or the Agent shall be required.  Upon the consummation of any transfer to an Assignee pursuant to this
paragraph (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to each of such Assignee and such transferor Bank.

(d)        Subject to the provisions of Section 9.08, the Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant, Assignee or other transferee (each a “Transferee”) and
any prospective Transferee any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrower which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower in
connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement.

(e)        No Transferee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 requiring such Bank to designate a different Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the
circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f)         Anything in this Section 9.07 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Loans and/or obligations owing to it to any Federal
Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans
and/or obligations made by the Borrower to the assigning and/or pledging Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Loans and/or obligations to the extent of such
payment.  No such assignment shall release the assigning and/or pledging Bank from its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.08.  Confidentiality.  Each Bank agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrower to it which is clearly indicated to be confidential
information, confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Bank who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent
any Bank from disclosing such information (i) to any other Bank, (ii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (iii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Bank, (iv) which has been publicly
disclosed, (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which the Agent, any Bank or their respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (vii) to
such Bank’s legal counsel, Affiliates and independent auditors and (viii) to any actual or proposed Participant, Assignee or other Transferee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section
9.08.

SECTION 9.09.  Representation by Banks.  Each Bank hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will
make its Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.07, the disposition of the Note or Notes held by that Bank shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

SECTION 9.10.  Obligations Several.  The obligations of each Bank hereunder are several, and no Bank shall be responsible for the obligations or commitment of any other Bank hereunder.  Nothing
contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Banks to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Bank shall
be a separate and independent debt, and each Bank shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and it shall not be necessary for any other Bank to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such purpose.

SECTION 9.11.  Survival of Certain Obligations.  Sections 8.03(a), 8.03(b), 8.05 and 9.03, and the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, shall survive, and shall continue to be enforceable
notwithstanding, the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans.

SECTION 9.12.  North Carolina.  This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of North Carolina.

SECTION 9.13.  Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 9.14.  Interest.  In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such
payment is inadvertently made to any Bank by the Borrower or inadvertently received by any Bank, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify such Bank in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned
forthwith.  It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Banks not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrower under applicable law.

SECTION 9.15.  Interpretation.  No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other
governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such provision.

SECTION 9.16.  Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Borrower (a) and each of the Banks and the Agent irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all right to trial
by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b)submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina, the courts thereof and the United States
District Courts sitting therein, for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, (c) waives any and all personal rights under the law of any jurisdiction to object on any basis (including, without limitation, inconvenience of forum) to
jurisdiction or venue within the State of North Carolina for the purpose of litigation to enforce this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, and (d) agrees that service of process may be made upon it in the manner prescribed in Section 9.01 for the giving
of notice to the Borrower.  Nothing herein contained, however, shall:  (i) prevent the Agent from bringing any action or exercising any rights against any security and against the Borrower personally, and against any assets of the Borrower, within any other
state or  jurisdiction; or (ii) affect the right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.17.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument.

SECTION 9.18.  Florida Taxes.  In connection with this transaction there may or may not be due certain documentary stamp taxes and/or intangible taxes imposed by the State of Florida (the “Florida
Taxes”).  In addition to (and not in limitation of) the indemnification with respect to tax liabilities set forth herein, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Arranger and each Bank, their directors, officers, agents and employees from and
against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, expense or reasonable attorney fees which may accrue to or be sustained by the Agent, the Arranger, a Bank or their directors, officers, agents or employees on account of or arising from any claim or action raised
by, filed or brought by or in the name of any Florida governmental or administrative department with respect to non-payment of the Florida Taxes against the Agent, a Bank, or any of their directors, officers, agents or employees.

            SECTION 9.19.  Arbitration; Preservation and Limitation of Remedies.  (a)  Upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or after
institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Disputes”) between or among the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Agent and the Banks, or any
of them, shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein.  Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that party to demand arbitration hereunder.  Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims,
counterclaims, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, or claims arising out of or connected with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.  Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as in effect from time to time, and
the Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 of the U.S. Code, as amended.  All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in the city in which the principal office of the Agent is located.  A hearing shall begin within ninety (90) days of demand for arbitration and
all hearings shall be concluded within 120 days of demand for arbitration.  These time limitations may not be extended unless a party shows cause for extension and then for no more than a total of sixty (60) days.  The expedited procedures set forth in Rule
51 et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000.  All applicable statutes of limitation shall apply to any Dispute.  A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The
panel from which all arbitrators are selected shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA.  The single arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest
court of general jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the hearing will be conducted.  The parties do not waive applicable federal or state substantive law except as provided herein.

                        (b)        Notwithstanding the preceding binding
arbitration provisions, the parties hereto agree to preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that any party hereto may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a Dispute.  Any party hereto shall have the right to proceed in
any court of proper jurisdiction or by self-help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable: (i) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies, including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of a receiver and filing
an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (ii) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Any claim or controversy with regard to any party’s entitlement to such remedies is a Dispute.  Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of
an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute. The parties hereto agree that no party shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party in any Dispute, and each party hereby waives any right or claim
to punitive or exemplary damages that it has now or that may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved by arbitration or judicially.  The parties acknowledge that by agreeing to binding arbitration they have irrevocably
waived any right they may have to a jury trial with regard to a Dispute.  The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent and the Banks in connection with any Dispute subject to arbitration as provided herein.
