	SECTION 1    The Credit
	1

	Section 1.1    The Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders agree to extend a revolving credit (the “Revolving Credit”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitments and (B) the Available Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, which may be availed of by the Borrower in its discretion from time to time, be repaid and used again, to but not including the Termination Date.  The Revolving Credit, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, may be utilized by the Borrower in the form of Loans, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.  The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit that a Lender agrees to extend to the Borrower shall be the aggregate amount of its Commitment (subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof).  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall under any circumstances be obligated to extend credit hereunder in excess of its Commitment.  Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments.  Administrative Agent has the right at any time, and from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion (but without any obligation), to set aside reasonable reserves against the Available Borrowing Base in such amounts as it may deem appropriate in its Permitted Discretion, including, without limitation, reserves with respect to Regulatory Events or any increased operational, legal or regulatory risk of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

	21

-vi-

						
	Section 5.2    Interpretation.  The foregoing definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.   The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of like import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  All references to times of day herein shall be references to Des Moines, Iowa time unless otherwise specifically provided.  Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be done in accordance with GAAP.
	39

	Section 5.3    Change in Accounting Principles.  If, after the date of this Agreement, there shall occur any change in GAAP from those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 6.6 hereof and such change shall result in a change in the method of calculation of any financial covenant, pricing grid, standard or term found in this Agreement, either the Borrower or the Required Lenders may by notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, respectively, require that the Lenders and the Borrower negotiate in good faith to amend such covenants, pricing grid, standards, and terms so as equitably to reflect such change in accounting principles, with the desired result being that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be the same as if such change had not been made.  No delay by the Borrower or the Required Lenders in requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a negotiation at any time after such a change in accounting principles.  Until any such covenant, pricing grid, standard, or term is amended in accordance with this Section 5.3, financial covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof.  The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Accounting Standards Codification 825 or account for assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition on a fair value basis pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 805, all determinations of compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Accounting Standards Codification 825 or Accounting Standards Codification 805.

Each Restricted Subsidiary has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents entered into by it, to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Liens described in the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to perform all of its obligations thereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower, and by each Restricted Subsidiary, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and constitute valid and binding obligations of such Person enforceable in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings may be brought; and the Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of the matters or things herein or therein provided for, contravene any provision of law or any Governing Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or a substantial portion of their respective Properties.

	42

	Section 6.7    No Material Adverse Change.  Since March 31, 2019, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or business prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries except changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate have been materially adverse.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.8 attached hereto, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary which if adversely determined would (a) impair the validity or enforceability of, or impair the ability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (b) result in any material adverse change in the financial condition or Property, business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (including any such litigation or proceeding with an amount in controversy in excess of $1,000,000).

Schedule 6.11 attached hereto correctly describes all Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the date hereof.

The Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, to the extent applicable to them and have received no notice to the contrary from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or any other governmental entity or agency.  As of March 31, 2019, the liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to PBGC in respect of Unfunded Vested Liabilities would not have been in excess of $0 if all employee pension benefit plans maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries had been terminated as of such date.  No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any material liability, fine or penalty.

	42

	Section 6.13    Material Agreements.

	46

	Section 8.3    Taxes, Claims for Labor and Materials.

	Section 12.21    Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
	72

	Section 12.22    Construction.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents.

From and after the Effective Date all references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement.  This Agreement amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Original Credit Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower evidenced or provided for thereunder.  The Borrower heretofore executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent the Company Security Agreement and certain other Collateral Documents.

Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Collateral Documents as to the indebtedness which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the “Credit Agreement” and the “Notes” referred to in the Company Security Agreement and any of the other Collateral Documents shall from and after the date hereof be deemed a reference to this Agreement and the Notes (if any) issued hereunder.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, on the Effective Date, all loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial Borrowing of Loans under this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid all outstanding Loans on the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, the Lenders each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the outstanding Loans between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its relevant pro rata share of outstanding Loans based on their Commitments as in effect after giving effect hereto.  Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.

Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement
This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement is entered into as of June 7, 2019, by and among World Acceptance Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement as Lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent.  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.  
Preliminary Statements
    A.    The Borrower is currently a party to that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as September 17, 2010, as amended, among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent for the lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”).  
    B.    The Borrower has requested that certain terms and conditions of the Original Credit Agreement be amended and, for the sake of clarity and convenience, that the Original Credit Agreement be restated in its entirety as so amended.  This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement amends and replaces in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement, and from and after the Effective Date all references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement.  This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement shall become effective as of June 7, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and supersedes all provisions of the Original Credit Agreement as of such date, upon the execution of this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement by each of the parties hereto and the fulfillment of the conditions precedent contained in Section 7.1 hereof.  This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Original Credit Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower evidenced or provided for thereunder.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1THE CREDIT
Section 1.1The Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders agree to extend a revolving credit (the “Revolving Credit”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitments and (B) the Available Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, which may be availed of by the Borrower in its discretion from time to time, be repaid and used again, to but not including the Termination Date.  The Revolving Credit, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, may be utilized by the Borrower in the form of Loans, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.  The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit that a Lender agrees to extend to the Borrower shall be the aggregate amount of its Commitment (subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof).  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall under any circumstances be obligated to extend credit hereunder in excess of its Commitment.  Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments.  Administrative Agent has the right at any time, and from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion (but without any obligation), to set aside reasonable reserves against the Available Borrowing Base in such amounts as it may deem appropriate in its 

-9-

Permitted Discretion, including, without limitation, reserves with respect to Regulatory Events or any increased operational, legal or regulatory risk of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  
SECTION 2GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS.
Section 2.1Applicable Interest Rates.   In the absence of an Event of Default or Default hereunder, and prior to maturity, the outstanding balance of the Loans will bear interest at an annual rate at all times equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month commencing on the first such date after the first Borrowing hereunder and continuing until the Commitments are terminated and the Obligations are paid in full.  Unless otherwise required by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time or the Borrower has otherwise paid or informed Administrative Agent that the Borrower will pay such amount in immediately available funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest and any other accrued but unpaid fees due and owing hereunder and such amount shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations. Interest as provided hereunder will be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  The rate of interest provided for hereunder is subject to increase or decrease as the Term SOFR increases or decreases in an amount corresponding to the change in the Term SOFR, with such benchmark rate being determined on the Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day, and any such change will become effective on the first (1st) day of the immediately following month.
(c)Payments of interest and fees not received within ten (10) days of the date due, are subject to a late charge equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500), which late charge shall be in addition to any charge, fee or interest otherwise payable hereunder.
Section 2.2Minimum Borrowing Amounts.  Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an amount not less than $50,000.00 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000.00. 
Section 2.3Borrowing Procedures.
(a)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing not later than 12:00 Noon (Central time) on the date of each requested Borrowing, specifying the date and amount of the Borrowing.  Such notice shall be submitted via the Administrative Agent’s online automatic request system or in the form of the Request for Advance and shall be certified by the President or Treasurer (or such other authorized Person as the Borrower directs from time to time) of the Borrower.  Each request for a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the obligation of the Borrower to send written confirmation of a Request for Advance, in the event that the Administrative Agent agrees to accept a Request for Advance made by telephone, such telephonic request shall be binding on the Borrower whether or not written confirmation is sent by the Borrower or requested by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may act prior to the receipt of any requested written confirmation, without any liability whatsoever, based upon telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower or its agents.  The Administrative Agent’s records of the terms of any telephonic requests for Advances shall be conclusive on the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice (but in no event later than 1:00 P.M. (Central time) on the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of notice from Borrower) of each Request for Advance by facsimile, telephone, e-mail or other form of transmission.  No later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the date on which a Borrowing 
-10-

is requested to be made pursuant to the applicable Request for Advance, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, its Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing requested to be made.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent as required above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available the amount of the Borrowing to be provided by such Lender. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and 7.2 of this Agreement for such Borrowing, and as soon as practicable after receipt of funds from the Lenders (but in any event not later than 2:00 P.M. (Central time)) the Administrative Agent will make such funds as have been received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in the Designated Disbursement Account agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
(c)To administer the Loan in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Lenders hereby instruct the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion, without any obligation) (i) make available, on behalf of the Lenders, the full amount of all Borrowings requested by the Borrower, without giving each Lender prior notice of the proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof and the other matters covered by the Request for Advance and (ii) if the Administrative Agent has made any such amounts available as provided in clause (i), upon repayment of the Loans by the Borrower, first apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts made available by the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (i) and not yet settled as described below. If the Administrative Agent advances a Borrowing on behalf of the Lenders, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of outstanding Loans and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof shall be computed weekly rather than daily and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (Central time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each computation; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the afore- described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders at the end of each week, or such lesser period or periods as the Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”).  If the summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by the Lenders prior to 12:00 Noon (Central time) on any Business Day each Lender shall make the transfers described in the next succeeding sentence no later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the day such summary statement was sent; and if such summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by the Lenders after 12:00 Noon (Central time) on any Business Day, each Lender shall make such transfers no later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) the next succeeding Business Day after such summary statement was sent. If in any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans is in excess of the amount of Loans actually funded by such Lender, such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the next preceding sentence) transfer to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such excess; and, on the other hand, if the amount of a Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of Loans actually funded by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such difference. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional, without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent and made without setoff or deduction of any kind.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective Commitment Percentages of the outstanding Loans.  Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when the Lenders 
-11-

will actually advance and/or be repaid Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) during each Settlement Period and shall accrue from and including the date such Borrowing is advanced by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date such Loans are repaid by the Borrower or actually settled by the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.3(c). All such Borrowings advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable hereunder for Loans.  Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement, on outstanding Loans which it has funded to the Administrative Agent from the date such Lender funded such Loans to, but excluding, the date on which such Lender is repaid with respect to such Loans.
(d)If the amounts described in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.3 are not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent has made such amount available to Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender.  If such Defaulting Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand) pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Defaulting Lender and the Borrower, (i) interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to either (A) if paid by such Defaulting Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (B) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement, plus (ii) in each case, an amount equal to any costs (including reasonable legal expenses) and losses incurred as a result of the failure of such Defaulting Lender to provide such amount as provided in this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Borrower to seek reimbursement from any Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by the Borrower under clause (ii) above on account of such Defaulting Lender’s default.
(e)The failure of any Lender to make its portion of the Borrowing to be made by it as part of any advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to advance its portion of the Borrowing on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the portion of a Borrowing to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.  The amounts payable by each Lender shall be a separate and independent obligation.
Section 2.4[RESERVED].  
Section 2.5Maturity of Loans.  Each Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date.
Section 2.6Prepayments.
(a)Voluntary.  The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount not less than $50,000.00 or any greater amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000.00) the Loans at any time on any Business Day upon prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each 
-12-

Lender thereof promptly thereafter) by no later than 12:00 noon (Central time) on the date of each prepayment of a Loan, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment is accompanied by a termination of the Commitments, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment; provided that in the event the Borrower repays the Loans in full any time prior to the Termination Date, (x) the Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice and (y) in the event the Borrower repays the Loan in full or the Obligations are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay a sum equal to 0.50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments as a prepayment fee, it being acknowledged by the Borrower that such prepayment fee is an estimate of Lenders’ damages in the event of early termination and is not a penalty.
(b)Mandatory.   Concurrently with each reduction of the Commitments (whether voluntarily pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by the amount, if any, necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall not exceed the Commitments as so reduced, each such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment.
(ii)The Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall at any time and for any reason exceed the Available Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, the Borrower shall immediately upon the demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pay over the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on the Loans.

(c)Reborrowings.  Any amount paid or prepaid on the Loans on or before the Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.
Section 2.7Default Rate.  From and after the Termination Date, or such earlier date as the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and other Obligations become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Administrative Agent’s option upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and other Obligations and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest with respect thereto, at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to the Loans.
Section 2.8Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the type thereof with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
-13-

(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d)Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms acceptable to Administrative Agent and such Lender (collectively the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”).  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of the relevant Commitment.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.10) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.10, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.
Section 2.9Commitment Terminations.
(a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Administrative Agent) to terminate without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, the Commitments, any partial termination to be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and to reduce ratably the respective Commitments of each Lender; provided that  the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding and the Borrower shall pay a sum equal to 0.50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitment reduction as a prepayment fee, it being acknowledged by the Borrower that such prepayment fee is an estimate of Lenders’ damages in the event of early termination and is not a penalty.
(b)Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(c) of the Company Security Agreement or Section 10.4(c) of the Subsidiary Security Agreement, the Commitments shall automatically and without notice be ratably reduced (based on the Commitment of each Lender) by the amount of such proceeds.  
(c)Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.9 may not be reinstated.
Section 2.10Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability.  Subject to clause (c) below, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period on or prior to the first day of a calendar month, (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Loans, or (iii) upon the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to clause (c) below, the Administrative Agent may select a replacement index rate and spread adjustment in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for 
-14-

determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that any comparable or successor rate shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, if administratively feasible, in a manner consistent with market practice.
(b)Laws Affecting SOFR Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law 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, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or any of their respective lending offices) to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to each other Lender.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist or until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to clause (c) below, the Administrative Agent may select a replacement index rate and spread adjustment in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that any comparable or successor rate shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, if administratively feasible, in a manner consistent with market practice. 
(c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. 
                (A)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10(c)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
                (B)    No interest rate, foreign currency, and/or commodity swap, exchange, cap, collar, floor, forward, future or option agreement, or any other similar interest rate, currency or commodity hedging arrangement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.10(c).
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
-15-

(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iv) or the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(c).
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 
(d)Certain Defined Terms.  As used in this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event”:  
    “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (a) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (b) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 2.10(d).
“Benchmark” means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to 
-16-

the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.10(a).
“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
    (a)    in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
        (b)    in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
    “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
-17-

        (c)    a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than ninety (90) days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.10(a) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.10(a).

“Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of “interest period”), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of 
-18-

borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of Section 2.10 and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the FRB or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the FRB or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

In the event (a) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 12.1 hereof, (b) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Person who has been deemed insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for any such Person, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested under Section 12.11 hereof at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at 
-19-

Section 2.12Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender at any time is a Defaulting Lender, then (a) during any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents and such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of determining “Required Lenders” (provided that the foregoing shall not permit an increase in such Lender’s Commitments or an extension of the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or other Obligations or a reduction of principal, interest, or fees due such Lender without such Lender’s consent); (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Defaulting Lender Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding; (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any commitment fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 3.1 in respect of any day during any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the utilization of Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.13Letters of Credit .  
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, Issuing Bank agrees to issue a requested Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower.  By Borrower submitting a request to Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Bank issue the requested Letter of Credit.  Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by the President or Treasurer (or such other authorized Person as Borrower directs from time to time) of Borrower and delivered to Issuing Bank via hand delivery, facsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension.  Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the stated Termination Date, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an 
-20-

amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may request or require.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries (1) in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract, or (2) at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender.  Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:
(i)the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Available Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of the Obligations, or
(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Commitments less the outstanding amount of the Obligations, or
(iii)the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.
Additionally, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (I) any order, judgment, or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or (II) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in U.S. dollars.  If Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Loan hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Loans.  If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Loan hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Loan.  Promptly following receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.13(b) of this Agreement to reimburse Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
(b)Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.13(a) of this Agreement, each Lender with a Commitment agrees to fund an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) of this Agreement on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower had requested the amount thereof as a Loan and Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of 
-21-

Credit, and each Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.13(a) of this Agreement, or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement.  If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amounts required pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement until paid in full.
(c)Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(d)Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.13(e) of this Agreement or for any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document, including in connection with the issuance or any amendment of any Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any Letter of Credit, the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any Letter of Credit, or the following of Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, and such action or neglect or omission will bind Borrower; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against Issuing Bank, and Issuing Bank may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to 
-22-

consequential, exemplary or punitive, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit; provided further, however, that any claim against Issuing Bank by Borrower for any loss suffered or incurred by Borrower shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) saved by Borrower as a result of the breach or other wrongful conduct that allegedly caused such loss, and (ii) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate such loss, including, without limitation, by enforcing their rights against any beneficiary and, in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to cure such dishonor.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or Issuing Bank may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and may disregard any requirement in a Letter of Credit that notice of dishonor be given in a particular manner and any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), and Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the wording of any Letter of Credit (including any drawing conditions or any terms or conditions that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy), notwithstanding any assistance Issuing Bank may provide to Borrower with drafting or recommending text for any letter of credit application or with the structuring of any transaction related to any Letter of Credit, and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such assistance will not constitute legal or other advice by Issuing Bank or any representation or warranty by Issuing Bank that any such wording or such Letter of Credit will be effective.  Without limiting the foregoing, Issuing Bank may, as it deems appropriate, modify or alter and use in any Letter of Credit the terminology contained on the letter of credit application for such Letter of Credit.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.

Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations.

Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the Collateral Documents or such other subordination and/or intercreditor agreements; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent set forth in Collateral Documents or any other subordination and/or intercreditor agreements by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral Documents or such other subordination and/or intercreditor agreements  for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates.
Section 11.13     Bank Product Obligations and Hedging Liability.  By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 12.10 hereof, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Bank Product Obligations or Hedging Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan 
-75-

Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement as more fully set forth in Section 3.4 hereof. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, or any request for the release of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Collateral Agent’s Liens in connection with the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to any Bank Product Obligations or Hedging Liability unless such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution or payment or release of Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and Liens.
SECTION 12MISCELLANEOUS.
Section 12.1     Withholding Taxes.   Payments Free of Withholding.  Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 12.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.  If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made.  If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Lender or Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.
(b)U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions.  Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date hereof or, if later, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender hereunder, two duly completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or (ii) solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).  Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) and 
-76-

such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations.  Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person.
(c)Inability of Lender to Submit Forms.  If any Lender determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such Lender is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.
Section 12.2     No Waiver of Rights.  No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any Obligations in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right.  The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.
Section 12.3     Non-Business Day.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable.  In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.
Section 12.4 Documentary Taxes.  The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.  
Section 12.5 Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.6 Survival of Indemnities.  All indemnities and all other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 12. 7 Sharing of Set-Off.  Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application 
-77-

of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-off”), on any of the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement in excess of its ratable share of payments on all Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Obligations held by each such other Lender (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest.  Each Lender’s ratable share of any such Set-off shall be determined by the proportion that the aggregate amount of Loans then due and payable to such Lender bears to the total aggregate amount of the Loans then due and payable to all the Lenders.
Section 12.8     Notices.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set forth below, or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Section 12.9     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 12.10     Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Lenders and the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any 
-78-

Obligations; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all of the Lenders.
Section 12.11     Participants.  Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and/or Commitments held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant.  Any agreement pursuant to which such participation  is granted shall provide that the granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest.    
Section 12.12     Assignments.   Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
(i)Minimum Amounts.  (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed);
(ii)Proportionate Amounts.    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and the Commitment assigned.
(iii)Required Consents.    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.12(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:
    (a)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
    (b)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the 
-79-

Revolving Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv)Assignment and Acceptance.    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to Borrower or Parent.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons.    No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.12(b) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.6 and 12.15 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof.
(b)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Des Moines, Iowa, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.  
Section 12.13     Amendments.  Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, (c) if the rights or duties of the 
-80-

Administrative Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and (d) if the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent are affected thereby, the Collateral Agent; provided that:
(i)no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any Lender in a manner disproportionate to the effect on the other Lenders without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for  any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.7, the waiver of which shall require the consent of only the Required Lenders) on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or other credit hereunder; and
(ii)no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall, unless signed by each Lender, extend the Termination Date, change the provisions of this Section or Sections 2.11 or 2.12, change the provisions of Section 12.7 or any other provision related to the pro-rata sharing of payments, the definition of Defaulting Lender, Defaulting Lender Excess, Defaulting Lender Period, Required Lenders, or the provisions of Section 9.4, release any material guarantor or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), affect the number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or the definition of Advance Rate, Borrowing Base or Eligible Finance Receivables in a manner to provide additional availability to Borrower.
Without regard to any other provision hereof, if any Lender (for such purpose, a “Dissenting Lender”) dissents to any action the Administrative Agent desires to take requiring either the unanimous consent of Lenders or the consent of the Required Lenders or fails to respond to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s request for a consent, either the Borrower (if no Event of Default or Default is outstanding and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion) or the Administrative Agent may compel such Dissenting Lender to assign its entire Commitment (either to one or more existing Lenders or other financial institution(s) who is to become a Lender pursuant to the terms hereof) so long as (i) such Dissenting Lender receives written notice of such intended assignment (and the proposed effective date thereof) within one hundred twenty (120) days of its providing its dissent to the Administrative Agent or such Dissenting Lender failing to respond to the Administrative Agent within the required five (5) Business Day period and the effective date of such intended assignment is not later than ten (10) days thereafter and (ii) the Dissenting Lender receives full payment on the effective date of such assignment of its entire portion of the outstanding Obligations, with accrued interest and unpaid fees to such date.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or other Loan Document, Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and Lenders, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 hereof are not satisfied, to make Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrower on behalf of Lenders that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (ii) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (“Protective Advances”).  Each Protective Advance shall be deemed to be a Loan hereunder.  The Protective Advances in the aggregate shall not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base and shall be repayable on demand, secured by Collateral Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at 2.5% per annum above the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans.  The provisions related to Protective Advances are for the exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way.
-81-

Section 12.14     Non-Reliance on Margin Stock.  Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and to each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.
Section 12.15     Fees and Indemnification.   The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related hereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated.
(b)The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and any security trustee or collateral agent therefore (including the Collateral Agent), and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, and consultants (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification, including, without limitation, in connection with the creation, generation, communication or storage of records by electronic means, the utilization by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the services provided by Electronic Collateral Custodian and its “Paper- In”, “Paper Out” and “Transfer of Control” processes for electronic records, the negligence, fraudulent or willful misconduct of the Electronic Collateral Custodian in connection with any Collateral which is currently, or was formerly, evidenced by an electronic record. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Lender for any legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.16 Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective affiliates, is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in 
-82-

whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to that Lender or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 
Section 12.17 Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and thereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
Section 12.18     Headings.  Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
Section 12.19     Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.
Section 12.20 Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.
Section 12.21 Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”).  If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate 
-83-

rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
Section 12.22 Construction.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents.   Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.
Section 12.23 Lender’s Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.  Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.
Section 12.24 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 12.25 USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
Section 12.26 Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or 
-84-

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries.
Section 12.27     Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall supersede all provisions of the Original Credit Agreement as of such date.  From and after the Effective Date all references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement.  This Agreement amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Original Credit Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower evidenced or provided for thereunder.  The Borrower heretofore executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent the Company Security Agreement and certain other Collateral Documents. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Liens created and provided for by the Collateral Documents continue to secure, among other things, the Obligations arising under this Agreement; and the Collateral Documents and the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders thereunder, the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and the Liens created and provided for thereunder remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby.  Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Collateral Documents as to the indebtedness which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the “Credit Agreement” and the “Notes” referred to in the Company Security Agreement and any of the other Collateral Documents shall from and after the date hereof be deemed a reference to this Agreement and the Notes (if any) issued hereunder. 
Section 12.28     Equalization of Loans and Commitments.  Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, on the Effective Date, all loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial Borrowing of Loans under this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid all outstanding Loans on the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, the Lenders each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the outstanding Loans between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its relevant pro rata share of outstanding Loans based on their Commitments as in effect after giving effect hereto.  Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. 
Section 12.29     Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a)In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Lender of this 
-85-

Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States of America or a state of the United States of America.
(b)In the event that any Lender that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Lender becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Lender are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States of America or a state of the United States of America.

remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify,
amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any
other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue
in full force and effect. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or serve
to effect a novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which
instruments shall remain and continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a precedent for purposes of
