SECTION 1.05 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on a Loan  denominated in dollarsDollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate  benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have  signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate  benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable  laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are  calculated may change.  The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent  the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the  London interbank market.  In July 2017,On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority  (“FCA”) publicly announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel  contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with  any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting  the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London  interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate  reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this  eventuality, public: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR  settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1- week and 2-month Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30,  2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease;    744627140 -52-     (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Dollar LIBOR settings  will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a  synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they  are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance  that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or  regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or  characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each  party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments.   Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative  reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.LIBOR.  Upon the  occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in  Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 2.142.13(b) providesand (c) provide a  mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly  notify the BorrowersBorrower, pursuant to Section 2.14(dSections 2.13(e), of any change to the  reference rate upon which the interest rate on EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans denominated  in dollars is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any  responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission,  performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rateDaily Simple RFR,  LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”) or with respect to  any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation,  (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section  2.142.13(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term  SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii)  the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section  2.14(c2.13(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any  such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, will be similar to, or produce the same  value or economic equivalence of, the Daily Simple RFR, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate)  or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank  offered rate) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its  affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any  Daily Simple RFR, any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark  Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the  Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable  discretion to ascertain SONIA, Daily Simple RFR or the Term Benchmark, any component  thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity  for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential  damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in  equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such  information source or service.

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Calculation Date, or on the date of  each Borrowing hereunder or the issuance or increase of any Letter of Credit hereunder, the  Administrative Agent shall determine the Alternative Currency Exposure.

  744627140 -61-     or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such  Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters  of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank  with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such  Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall  impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on  the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or  (c) Expiration Date.

Unless otherwise  directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a  specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension  Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not  require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to  an expiry date not later than the date referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this clause (c);  provided that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable  Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such  time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof or (B)  it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five  Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the  Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent,  any Lender or Lippert that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is  not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable Issuing Bank not to permit such  extension.  (d) Participations.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby  absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the  applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by    744627140 -62-     the applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in  paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the  Borrowers for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire  participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and  unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any  amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a  Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made  without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  (e) Reimbursement.  If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement  in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by  paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to  such LC Disbursement (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, if relevant) in the relevant currency not  later than 12:00 noon, Local Time1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date that such LC  Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior  to 1011:00 a.m., Local Time (New York City time), on such date, or, if such notice has not been  received by the Borrowers prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Local  Time1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately following the day that the  applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the  day of receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is denominated in dollarsDollars and is in  an amount not less than $100,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to  borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed  with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the  applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the  resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when  due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement (or its  Dollar Equivalent, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), the  payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage  thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative  Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the  same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section  2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the  Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received  by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment  from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such  payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant  to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable  Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this  paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the  funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not  relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.  The  Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations under this Section are several and not joint  (notwithstanding and without affecting the Guarantee by Lippert of each Foreign Borrower’s  Obligations under the Guarantee Agreement).  (f) Obligations Absolute.  The Borrowers’ several obligations to reimburse LC  Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and  

 

  744627140 -63-     irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under  any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability  of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision  therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,  fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any  respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation  of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv)  any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that  might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide  a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder or (v) any adverse change in the  relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to such Borrower  or in the relevant currency markets generally.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor  any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or  responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or  any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances  referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in  transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter  of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in  interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the  applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing  Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special,  indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the  Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by  the applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other  documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto  expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the  applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing  Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the  foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to  documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of  a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make  payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any  notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents  if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.    (g) Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt  thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of  Credit.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the  applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for  payment and whether the applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement  thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the  applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders  with respect to any such LC Disbursement.  (h) Interim Interest.  If anthe Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC  Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full  in the applicable currency on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof    744627140 -64-     shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but  excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable  to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such  reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC  Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.   Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank,  except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph  (e) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender  to the extent of such payment.  (i) Replacement and Resignation of  an Issuing Bank.  (i) An Issuing Bank may be  replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the  replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the  Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall  become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the  replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  From and after the effective date of any such  replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of Issuing  Banks under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y)  references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any  previous Issuing Banks, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall  require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall  remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank  under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but  shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend and existing  Letter of Credit.  (ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any  Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written  notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders, in which case, such  resigning  Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i) above.  (j) Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on  the Business Day that Lippert receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required  Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure  representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral  pursuant to this paragraph, Lippert shall deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, in the  name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders the “Collateral Account”), an  amount in cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the LC Exposure in the applicable  currencies as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the  obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit  shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the  occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company or any Borrower described in  Section 7.01(h) or (i).  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the  payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement.   The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right  of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such  deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative  

 

  744627140 -65-     Agent and at Lippert’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits,  if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be  applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC  Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs or customary  expenses, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement  obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the  Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure  representing  greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations.  If Lippert is  required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event  of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable  Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  In  addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure  remains outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (c), the Borrowers shall  immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of such LC  Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter  of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a  Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing  party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the  applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such  Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and  compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to  reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for  the account of the Borrowers and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise  be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in  respect of such Letter of Credit.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion  exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been  indemnified pursuant to this Section  (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to  this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to  the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to  such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and  without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect  to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay  to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties,  interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such  indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified  party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the  

 

  744627140 -85-     payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than  the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to  such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification  payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph  shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any  other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any  other Person.  (h) VAT.  (i) All amounts expressed in any Loan Document to be payable by any party  to the Credit Agreement (for the purposes of this provision, a “Party”) to any Recipient  which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes  are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and  accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any  supply made by any Recipient to any Party under any Loan Document and such Recipient  is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such  Indemnified PersonRecipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other  consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such  Indemnified PersonRecipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that  Party).  (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (for  the purposes of this provision, the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (for the purposes of  this provision, the “VAT Recipient”) under any Loan Document, and any Party other than  the VAT Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document  to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than  being required to reimburse the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration):  (A) to the extent the Supplier is the person required to account to the  relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall also pay to the Supplier  (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the  amount of such VAT.  The VAT Recipient will, where this paragraph (ii)(A)  applies, promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or  repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the  VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on the supply;  and  (B) to the extent the VAT Recipient is the person required to account to  the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall promptly, following  demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount equal to the  VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient  reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant  tax authority in respect of that VAT.  (iii) Where any Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a  Recipient for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may    744627140 -86-     be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof  as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is  entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.  (iv) Any reference in this Section to any Party shall, at any time when such Party  is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include  (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who  is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under  the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as  implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar  provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a  reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or  unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant  time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity)  at the relevant time (as the case may be).  (v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any Party under any Loan  Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that Party must promptly provide  details of its VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in  connection with such Recipient'’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.  (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation  or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of,  a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all  obligations under any Loan Document.  (j) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any  Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.  SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.   (a)  Each(i) Except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in  an Alternative Currency, each Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be  made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements,  or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 121:00 noon,  Chicagop.m. (New York City time), on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment  hereunder and (ii) all payments with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an  Alternative Currency shall be made in such Alternative Currency not later than the Local Time  specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein, in each case, in immediately  available funds, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such  time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been  received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All  such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 S. Dearborn St.,  Chicago, Illinois, except payments to be made directly to Issuing Banks as expressly provided  herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made  directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such  payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly  

 

  744627140 -87-     following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business  Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case  of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.   All payments hereunder shall be made in dollarsWithout limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the  United States.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any required  payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars  in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative  Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees  then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then  due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest  and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed  LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance  with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.  (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,  obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or  participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater  proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and  accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender under such Class, then  the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations  in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class to the extent  necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders under such Class  ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their  respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements under such Class; provided that (i) if any  such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is  recovered,  such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of  such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to  apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms  of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or  sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or  participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the  provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to  the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation  pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of setoff and  counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of  any Borrower in the amount of such participation.  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, prior to any date on which  any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks  pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for  prepayment by notice from the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to  Section 2.11(b)), notice from such Borrower that such Borrower will not make such payment or  prepayment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment  on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the    744627140 -88-     Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the applicable  Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the  case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the  amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and  including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the  Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank  compensationapplicable Overnight Rate.  SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.    (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is  required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental  Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use  reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans  hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or  affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate  or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and  (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise  be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Lippert hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses  incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is  required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental  Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a  Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement,  modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document  that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long  as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), then Lippert may, at its sole expense  and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign  and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in  Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections  2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee  that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts  such assignment); provided that (i) Lippert shall have received the prior written consent of the  Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks),  which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment  of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC  Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it  hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and  fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment  resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made  pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or  payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior  thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Lippert to  require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Each party hereto agrees that (i) an  assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and  

 

  744627140 -89-     Assumption executed by Lippert, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent  applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to  an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are  participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in  order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound  by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other  parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such  assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided that any such documents  shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.  SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes  a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a  Defaulting Lender:  (a)  fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment  of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);  (b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the  Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory,  at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from  a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be  determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing  by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a  pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder;  third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender  in accordance with this Section; fourth, as Lippert may request (so long as no Default or Event of  Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed  to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative  Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Lippert, to be held in a deposit  account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future  funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the  Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future  Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the  payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a  court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting  Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or  under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the  payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent  jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such  Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan  Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent  jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans  or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its  appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a  time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be    744627140 -90-     applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on  a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed  to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in  the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by  the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d)  below.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that  are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral  pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and  each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  (c) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be  included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action  hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to  Section 9.02); provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the  case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each  Lender affected thereby;  (d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender  then:  (i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be  reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders having Revolving Commitments in  accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Aggregatetotal Revolving  Commitments but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non- Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure to  exceed its Revolving Commitment;  (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,  be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the  Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the  Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after  giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the  procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;  (iii) if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s  LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any  fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting  Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash  collateralized;  (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to  clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and  Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’  Applicable Percentages; and  (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither  reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without  

 

  744627140 -91-     prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all  letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s  LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC  Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and  (e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to  issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the  Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of  the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance  with Section 2.20(d), LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall  be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and  such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).  If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur  following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has  a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one  or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Bank shall  be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Banks, as the case  may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Lender,  satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such  Lender hereunder.  In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Issuing Bank  agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be  a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the  inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such  of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary  in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  SECTION 2.21  Extension of Maturity Date.    (a) Lippert may, by delivering an Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (who  shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), not less than 60 days in advance of the  Maturity Date in effect at such time for any Class (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the  Lenders extend the Existing Maturity Date for such Class to the first anniversary of such Existing  Maturity Date. Each Lender under such Class, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by written notice  to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is the 20th day after the date of the  Extension Request, or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day  (the “Response Date”), advise the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender  agrees to the requested extension.  Each Lender that advises the Administrative Agent that it will  not extend the Existing Maturity Date is referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”;  provided, that any Lender under the applicable Class that does not advise the Administrative Agent  of its consent to such requested extension by the Response Date and any Lender under the  applicable Class that is a Defaulting Lender on the Response Date shall be deemed to be a Non- Extending Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify Lippert, in writing, of the Lenders’  elections promptly following the Response Date. The election of any Lender to agree to such an    744627140 -92-     extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.  The Maturity Date may be extended no  more than two times pursuant to this Section 2.21.  (b) (i) If, by the Response Date, Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate 50% or  more of the total Commitments shall constitute Non-Extending Lenders, then the Existing Maturity  Date shall not be extended for such Class and the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and  other amounts payable hereunder in respect of such Class shall be payable, and in the case of the  Revolving Commitments such Commitments shall terminate, on the Existing Maturity Date in  effect prior to such extension.  (ii) If (and only if), by the Response Date, Lenders holding Commitments and  Loans that aggregate more than 50% of the total Commitments and Loans under any  applicable Class shall have agreed to extend the Existing Maturity Date (each such  consenting Lender, an “Extending Lender”), then effective as of the Existing Maturity  Date, the Maturity Date for such Extending Lenders under such Class shall be extended to  the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date for such Class (subject to satisfaction of  the conditions set forth in Section 2.21(d)).  In the event of such extension, (x) solely in the  case of an extension of Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Non- Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date in effect for such Non- Extending Lender prior to such extension, (y) the outstanding principal balance of all Loans  and other amounts payable hereunder in respect of the applicable Class to such Non- Extending Lender shall become due and payable on such Existing Maturity Date and (z)  subject to Section 2.21(c) below, in the case of the Revolving Commitments, the total  Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be reduced by the Revolving Commitments of  the Non-Extending Lenders so terminated on such Existing Maturity Date.  (c) In the event of any extension of the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to Section  2.21(b)(ii), Lippert shall have the right on or before the Existing Maturity Date, at its own expense,  to require any Non-Extending Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with  and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all its interests, rights (other than its rights  to payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 9.03 arising prior to  the effectiveness of such assignment) and obligations in respect of any Class under this Agreement  to one or more banks or other financial institutions identified to the Non-Extending Lender by  Lippert which may include any existing Lender (each a “Replacement Lender”); provided that (i)  such Replacement Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of  the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (such approvals to not be unreasonably withheld)  to the extent the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks would be required to  effect an assignment under Section 9.04(b), (ii) such assignment shall become effective as of a  date specified by Lippert (which shall not be later than the Existing Maturity Date in effect for  such Non-Extending Lender prior to the effective date of the requested extension) and (iii) the  Replacement Lender shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender in immediately available funds on  the effective date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment  on the outstanding principal amount Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued  and unpaid for its account or otherwise owed to it hereunder, in each case under such Class on  such date.  

 

  744627140 -93-     (d) As a condition precedent to each such extension of the Existing Maturity Date  pursuant to Section 2.21(b)(ii), Lippert shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of  Lippert dated as of the Existing Maturity Date signed by a Responsible Officer of Lippert  certifying that, as of such date, both before and immediately after giving effect to such extension,  (A) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in this Agreement shall be true  and correct and (B) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) in the case of an  extension of the Revolving Commitments, first make such prepayments of the outstanding Loans  and second provide such cash collateral (or make such other arrangements satisfactory to the  applicable Issuing Bank) with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit as shall be required such  that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders  pursuant to Section 2.21(b) and any assignment pursuant to Section 2.21(c), the aggregate  Revolving Credit Exposure less the face amount of any Letter of Credit supported by any such  cash collateral (or other satisfactory arrangements) so provided does not exceed the aggregate  amount of Revolving Commitments being extended.  (e) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no consent of any Lender (other than the existing  Lenders participating in the extension of the Existing Maturity Date) shall be required for any  extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 and (ii) the operation of this Section  2.21 in accordance with its terms is not an amendment subject to Section 9.02.  SECTION 2.22 Refinancing Amendments.  (a) On one or more occasions after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the  applicable Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any other bank, financial institution or other  institutional lender or investor (other than an Ineligible Institution) that agrees to provide any  portion of any Refinancing Term Loan or Refinancing Revolving Commitment, in each case  consisting of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment  in accordance with this Section 2.22 (each, an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) (provided that  the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (not to be unreasonably  withheld) to such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender making such Refinancing Term Loans  or providing such Refinancing Revolving Commitments, to the extent such consent, if any, would  be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to  such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender), in respect of all or any portion of any  facilityFacility of termTerm Loans or Revolving Loans (and corresponding Commitments) then  outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving  Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment;  provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or otherwise:  (i) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders  with Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments in accordance  with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving  Commitments;  (ii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially  concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all Revolving Commitments then in effect shall  be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with all interest  thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be    744627140 -94-     repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that any Letters of Credit may continue to be  outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving  Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so  terminated; and  (iii) assignments and participations of Refinancing Revolving Commitments  and Refinancing Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and  participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

  744627140 -123-     (b) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in  which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be  due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,  together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued  hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become due and payable immediately,  without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived  by the Borrowers;  (c) require that the Borrowers provide cash collateral as required in Section 2.06(j);  and  (d) exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks all rights and  remedies available to it, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under the Loan Documents and  Applicable Law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent,  without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of  any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any  other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby  waived by each Borrower on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries), may in such circumstances  forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or  consent to the use by any Loan Party of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on  such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign  give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid  on behalf of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing),  in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office  of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may  deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery,  all without assumption of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the  right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private  sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity  of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released by each  Borrower on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries.  Each Borrower further agrees on behalf of itself  and its Subsidiaries, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it  available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably    744627140 -124-     select, whether at the premises of the Company, another Loan Party or elsewhere.  The  Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article  VII, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection  therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way  relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder,  including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the  obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in such order as the Administrative  Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative  Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the  New York Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if  any, to any Loan Party.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower on behalf of  itself and its Subsidiaries waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the  Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.   If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such  notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other  disposition.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the  contrary, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notice  thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Company or the Required Lenders:  (a) all payments received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to Section 2.20,  be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:  (i) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,  indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including  fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable  under Section 9.03 and amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(c) payable to the Administrative  Agent in its capacity as such);  (ii) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,  expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement obligations  in respect of LC Disbursements, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders  and the Issuing Banks (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to  the Lenders and the Issuing Banks payable under Section 9.03) arising under the Loan  Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this  clause (ii) payable to them;  (iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and  unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed LC  Disbursements, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the  respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;  (iv) fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid  principal of the Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, Banking Services Obligations  and amounts owing under IR/FX Hedging Agreements and (B) to cash collateralize that  portion of LC Exposure comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent  

 

  744627140 -125-     not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.20, ratably  among the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the IR/FX Protection Merchants and the other  Persons holding Banking Services Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts  described in this clause (iv) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied  pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable  account of the applicable Issuing Banks to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of  Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.06 or 2.20, amounts used to cash collateralize the  aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy  drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any  Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of cash collateral shall  be distributed to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 7.03;  (v) fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably  among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks based upon the  respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the  respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and  (vi) finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid  in full, to the applicable Borrower or as otherwise required by law; and  (b) if any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have  either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall  be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banking Services Obligations and Obligations arising  under IR/FX Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the  Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting  documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable IR/FX Protection  Merchant or Lender providing (or whose Affiliate is providing) such Banking Services, as the case  may be.  Each IR/FX Protection Merchant or Lender providing (or whose Affiliate is providing)  such Banking Services which in each case is not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given  the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have  acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of  Article VIII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.  ARTICLE VIII.    The Administrative Agent  SECTION 8.01 Authorization and Action.  (a)  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank  hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this  Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent  under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative  Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement  and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements  and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In addition, to the extent required  under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and each Issuing    744627140 -126-     Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and  enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or  such Issuing Bank’s behalf.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank  hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations  under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise  all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan  Documents.  (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan  Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required  to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting  (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions  of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary,  pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such  instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the  Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in  good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an  indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing  Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document  or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any  requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that  may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation  of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors;  provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the  Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting  until such clarification or direction has been provided.  Except as expressly set forth in the Loan  Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable  for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any  Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the  Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Nothing in this  Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise  incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of  any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such  funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.  (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan  Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing  Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance  of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (i) the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have  assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee  of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other Obligation other than as expressly  set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an  Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the  use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with  

 

  744627140 -127-     reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other  implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and  that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only  an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender  agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged  breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement  and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;  (ii) where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in  respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan  Document expressed to be governed by the laws of United States of America, or is required  or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and  liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall  be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and  (iii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the  Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any  sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;  (d) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and  powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents  appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may  perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their  respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub- agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall  apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall not  be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court  of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative  Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.  (e) None of any Documentation Agent nor any Arranger shall have obligations or  duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall  incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the  benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.  (f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under  any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter  in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any  reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein  expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent  shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not  obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest  owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that  are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable  in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent    744627140 -128-     (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such  judicial proceeding; and  (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable  on any such claims and to distribute the same;  and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in  any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other  Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the  Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the  Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to  it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section  9.03).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to  authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of  reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of  any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim  of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.  (g) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have  any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof  relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any  Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have  any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure  of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.  (h) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,  the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to  consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Company or  any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party  beneficiary under any such provisions.  Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be  deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations  provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.  SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.  (a) Neither  the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or  omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or  in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the  request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be  necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the  circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross  negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a  court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any  manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by  any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or  in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received  by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan  

 

  744627140 -129-     Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of  this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its  obligations hereunder or thereunder.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default  unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the  Administrative Agent by the Company, any Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the  Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)  any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii)  the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection  therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms  or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency,  validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other  agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV  or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face  purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or  satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable  or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on  the Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall  not be liable for, or be responsible for any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense suffered by any  Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the  Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each  Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Exchange Rate or Dollar Equivalent.  (c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of  any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with  Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may  consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants  and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken  in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes  no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any  Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of  any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining  compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of  Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may  presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the  Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank  sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and  (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement  or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument  or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting  or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be  genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or  not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker  thereof).    744627140 -130-     SECTION 8.03 Posting of Communications.  (a)  Each Borrower agrees that the  Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to  the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain,  SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its  electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).  (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured  with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the  Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date,  a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through  a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform  only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Company and  each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic  medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving  or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic  Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.   Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Company hereby approves distribution of  the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the  risks of such distribution.  (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE  COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  THE  APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY  OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE  APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR  ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE  COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR  STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR  A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR  FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE  APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE  APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR  RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE  ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY  OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR  INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR  EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY  LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF  COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC  PLATFORM.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information,  document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan  Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative  Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this  Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.  

 

  744627140 -131-     (d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next  sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform  shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan  Documents.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing  (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or  Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by  electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.  (e) Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and each of the Company and the  Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable  law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in  accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures  and policies.  (f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or  any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in  any other manner specified in such Loan Document.  SECTION 8.04 The Administrative Agent Individually.  With respect to its  Commitments, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as  the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and  is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other  Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required  Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the  Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required  Lenders, as applicable.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may  accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other  advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with,  any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not  acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the  Issuing Banks.  SECTION 8.05 Successor Administrative Agent.  (a)  The Administrative Agent  may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing  Banks and the Borrowers, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed.   Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor  Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the  Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring  Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent  may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,  which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank.  In  either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which  approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default  has occurred and is continuing).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent  by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and  become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative  Agent.  Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor    744627140 -132-     Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring  Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative  Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor  Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor  Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment  within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the  retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders,  the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation  stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of  maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security  Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue  to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,  and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document,  and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to  hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed  and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that  the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under  any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such  security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the  rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all  payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative  Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to  such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or  made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing  Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as  such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement  and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for  the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related  Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring  Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to  in the proviso under clause (i) above.  SECTION 8.06 Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks.    (a) Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding  commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without  reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Documentation Agent or any other  Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and  information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into  this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Lender also  acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any  Arranger, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of  the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non- 

 

  744627140 -133-     public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning each  Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its  own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan  Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective  Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan  Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have  acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other  document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative  Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.  (c) (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such  Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received  by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment,  prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a  “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender),  and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in  no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of  any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds,  together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or  portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the  Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from  time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not  assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or  right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the  Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any  defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative  Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.06(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  (ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the  Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a  different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent  (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was  not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case,  that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender agrees that, in  each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have  been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such  occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no  event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount  of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day  funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date  such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is  repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined  by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank  compensation from time to time in effect.    744627140 -134-     (iii) Each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event  an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has  received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall  be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an  erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any  Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party except to the extent such  erroneous Payment was comprised (and solely with respect to the amount of such payment  that was comprised) of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or  any other Loan Party under or in connection with this Agreement.   (iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.06(c) shall survive the resignation  or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or  the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment,  satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.g  SECTION 8.07 Collateral and Guarantee Matters.    (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08  or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no  Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce  any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and  remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on  behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.  (b) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in  respect of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute Obligations and no IR/FX  Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Obligations, will create (or be deemed  to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the  management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan  Document.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any  such arrangement in respect of Banking Services or IR/FX Hedging Agreement, as applicable,  shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and  collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a  Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.  (c) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option  and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the  Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that  is permitted by Section 6.02(a).  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a  duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or  collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s  Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the  Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any  failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.  (d) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) release  all liens on all Collateral upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) any Letters of  

 

  744627140 -135-     Credit which have been cash collateralized or otherwise become subject to credit support  satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank, (y) obligations under IR/FX Hedging Agreements and  Banking Services Obligations and (z) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim  has been made) and the termination of all Commitments, (ii) release any Subsidiary from the  Guarantee Agreement, and release all Liens granted by such Subsidiary (and, in the case of clause  (x) below, release all Liens granted by other Loan Parties in the shares of such Subsidiary), in the  event that such Subsidiary (x) is sold to a Person that is not a Loan Party (other than a Non- Guarantor Foreign Borrower) pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder or (y) is or becomes  an Immaterial Subsidiary, provided that no such release shall be granted in the case of clause (y)  to the extent that such Subsidiary is a guarantor in respect of, or has granted liens on shares of its  subsidiaries to secure, the obligations under any Prudential Notes or other Prudential Debt, in each  case unless such guarantee or Lien in respect of the Prudential Notes or other Prudential Debt is  released substantially concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary from the Guarantee  Agreement or the release of such Liens, as applicable (and each Secured Party hereby authorizes  the Administrative Agent to consent to, and the Administrative Agent hereby does consent to, any  release by the Notes Collateral Agent (as defined in the Prudential Intercreditor Agreement) of any  such guarantee or Lien by any Immaterial Subsidiary in respect of the Prudential Notes and other  Prudential Debt).  (e) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release all  liens on all Collateral upon the occurrence of the Prudential Collateral Release Event so long as at  the time of such release no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  SECTION 8.08 Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize  the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion  of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or  all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner  purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the  Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including  under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other  jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of  collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative  Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.  In  connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties  shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the  Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated  claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon  the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent  claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or  for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in  connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent  shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit  bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the  Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this  Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the  Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the  acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect    744627140 -136-     to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests  thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide  for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of  this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as  the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the  limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv)  the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to  issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were  credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or  membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such  acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any  further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are  not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better,  because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of  Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall  automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such  Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on  account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured  Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion  of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles  as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such  information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will  receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative  Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the  formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated  by such credit bid.

(a)   Each Lender (x) represents and  warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the  date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party  hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective  Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other  Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:  (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset  Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of  Credit or the Commitments,  (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84- 14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified  professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions  involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain  transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class  exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96- 23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is  applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of  and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,  

 

  744627140 -137-     (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified  Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such  Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such  Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit,  the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in,  administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments  and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of  PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection  (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,  participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the  Commitments and this Agreement, or  (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in  writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.  (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true  with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and  covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender  further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to,  and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person  ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger  and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the  Company or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger or any  of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such Lender  (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent  under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).  (c) The Administrative Agent, and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each  such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary  capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a  financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof  (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the  Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it  extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount  being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender  or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated  hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees,  arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees,  administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit  fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term  out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar  to the foregoing.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.    (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender  in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single  or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to  enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any  other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and  the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they  would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure  by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by  paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific  instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,  regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had  notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  (b) Subject to Section 2.14(b) and Section 9.02(c) below, neither this Agreement nor  any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or  agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers  and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such  agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such  Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of  interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender  directly and adversely affected thereby (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders  shall be necessary (x) to amend Section 2.13(d) or to waive the obligation of the Borrowers to pay  interest at rates specified in such clause or (y) to amend any financial covenant (or any defined  term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce  the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder), (iii)  postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement,  or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse  any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the  written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.09(c)  or 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata  sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the  payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.20(b) or 7.03 without the written consent of each  Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”  or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or  percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any  determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or, in  the case of an amendment to the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” or that directly affects  only the Lenders under a particular Class, without the written consent of each Lender under such  Class) or (vii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee Agreement or all or  substantially all of the Collateral, in each case without the written consent of each Lender  (provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.02(b)(vii) shall require the consent of each    744627140 -140-     Lender for a release of Collateral or a release of Subsidiaries from the Guarantee Agreement  permitted by Section 8.07(d)); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or  otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks hereunder  without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, as the case may  be; provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.06  or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between any Borrower and an Issuing  Bank regarding such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment or the respective rights and  obligations between any Borrower and an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters  of Credit without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank,  respectively.  (c) If the Administrative Agent and Borrowers acting together identify any ambiguity,  omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any  other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to  amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake,  typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any  further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, any  Person seeking to be indemnified under this Section 9.03(b) shall, upon obtaining knowledge  thereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice to Lippert of the  commencement of any action or proceeding giving rise to such indemnification claim, provided  that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve Lippert of any indemnification obligation  hereunder.  This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that  represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.  (c) Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by any  Borrower under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03 to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing  Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to  the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan  Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date  on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the  date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in  full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), from  and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,  charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after  the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee  in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan  Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions  contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or  in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified  loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted  against such Agent Indemnitee in its capacity as such; provided further that no Lender shall be  liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,    744627140 -142-     actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and  nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent  Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive  the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable  hereunder.  (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) no Loan Party shall assert, and the  Company and each Borrower hereby waives (on behalf of itself and each of its subsidiaries), any  claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or  other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission  systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby  waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,  consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in  connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or  instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the  use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d)(ii) shall relieve any Loan Party  of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential  or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.  (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand  therefor.  SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.  (a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall  be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and  assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of  Credit), except that (i) neither the Company nor any Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer  any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and  any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company or any Borrower without such consent shall  be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations  hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible  Institution” have the following meanings:  “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in  making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the  ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate  of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.  “Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its  Lender  Parent, (c) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the  primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof or (d) a Loan Party or Subsidiary or  Affiliate of a Loan Party; provided that, with respect to clause (c), such holding company,  investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been  established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a  professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant  experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater  than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial  loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.  (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)  of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and  Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest  assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender  under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the  interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations  under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of  the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall  cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15,  2.16, 2.17 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under  this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this  Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in  accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.  (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent  of each respective Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment  and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses  of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the  Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from  time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each  

 

  744627140 -145-     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 Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any  Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  (v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption  executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an  agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an  Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the  Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative  Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing  and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to  such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall  accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in  the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed  to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b),  2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such  Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and  until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.   No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded  in the Register as provided in this paragraph.  (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the  Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities  (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights  and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the  Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain  unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the  performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing  Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in  connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or  instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender  shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification  or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may  provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,  modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such  Participant.  Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections  2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements  under Sections 2.17(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section  2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation  required under 2.17(g) will be delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent)) to the  same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph  (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of  Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be  entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any  participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent  such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the    744627140 -146-     Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at  any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to  effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted  by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a  Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a  Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and  address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s  interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);  provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant  Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s  interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan  Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that  such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section  5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall  be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is  recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this  Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the  Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for  maintaining a Participant Register.  (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion  of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or  assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any  such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a  security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such  pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  (e) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment  or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the  “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign  all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the  Borrowers have consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in  which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such  assignment or participation).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that  becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the  delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the  definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified  from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption  with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered  a Disqualified Institution.  Any assignment in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but  the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.  (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution  without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any  Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers  may, at Lippert’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified  

 

  744627140 -147-     Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment  of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such  Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) repay  all obligations in respect of Term Loans owing to such Disqualified Institution and/or (C)  require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and  subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and  obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (at the lesser of (x) the principal  amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such  interests, rights and obligations).  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,  Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or  other materials provided to Lenders by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any  other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the  Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or  confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative  Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver  or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the  Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any  action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution  will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not  Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any  plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any debtor relief laws (a “Plan of  Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote  on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan  of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will  be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of  the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Lawsdebtor  relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class  has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c)  of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws) and (3)  not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or  other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).  (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and each Borrower hereby  expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified  Institutions provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time  (collectively, the “DQ List”) on any electronic communication, including that portion of  any electronic communication that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B)  provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.  SECTION 9.05 Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties  made by the Loan Parties and other Subsidiaries herein and in the other Loan Documents and in  the certificates or other instruments  delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or  any other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto  and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and  issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or    744627140 -148-     on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender  may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the  time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the  principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this  Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the  Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and  9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the  consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration  or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement  or any provision hereof.  SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.      (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto  on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken  together shall constitute a single contract.

This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i)  fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the reductions of the Letter of Credit  Commitment of any Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the  subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or  written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Each Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on  an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and  the transactions contemplated hereby.  Additionally, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that  no Credit Party is advising such Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory  or any other matters in any jurisdiction.  Each Borrower shall consult with its own advisors  concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation  and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the  Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to such Borrower with respect thereto.  (b) Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its  Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service  securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as  providing investment banking and other financial services.  In the ordinary course of business, any  Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold  or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and  financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrowers and other  companies with which the Borrowers may have commercial or other relationships.  With respect  to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers,  all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will  be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.  (c) In addition, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its  Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt  financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other  companies in respect of which such Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the  transactions described herein and otherwise.  No Credit Party will use confidential information  obtained from any Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or  its other relationships with such Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party  of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other  companies.  Each Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in    744627140 -154-     connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to such  Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.  SECTION 9.16 USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the  requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers  that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record  information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of  each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in  accordance with the Patriot Act.  SECTION 9.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial  Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other  agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges  that any liability of any EEAAffected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may  be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEAthe applicable Resolution  Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:  (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEAthe  applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable  to it by any party hereto that is an EEAAffected Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other  instruments of ownership in such EEAAffected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or  a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such  shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with  respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or  (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise  of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEAthe applicable Resolution  Authority.  SECTION 9.18 Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in  any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one  currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with  normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such  other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The  obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent,  the Collateral Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall,  notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which  such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the  “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following  receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to  be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such  Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the  

 

  744627140 -155-     Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so  purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or  any Lender from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, jointly and  severally, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the  Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.   If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to  the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such  Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any  other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).  (a) The obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of the Borrowers  to make payments in dollars (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by  any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment or otherwise, which is expressed in or  converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such  tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral  Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed  to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender  under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the applicable Borrower shall (and does  hereby) indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such  Lender, as applicable, for any shortfall.  (b) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrower in any  court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than  the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment  Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar  Equivalent of such amount, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which  the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency  Conversion Date”).  If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment  Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, such Borrower  covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event  not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency,  when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount  of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment  Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the  Judgment Currency Conversion Date.  SECTION 9.19 Intercreditor Agreements.  Each of the Lenders hereby  acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Prudential Intercreditor Agreement and agrees  to be bound by the terms thereof as if such Lender was a signatory thereto.  Each Lender (and each  person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.04) hereby (a) acknowledges that  the Administrative Agent is acting under the Prudential Intercreditor Agreement (and any other  intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby and executed after the date hereof) as both the  Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and (b) waives any conflict of interest, now  contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against the  Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any claims, cause of action, damages or liabilities of  whatever kind or nature relating thereto.  Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender  hereunder pursuant to Section 2.04) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to    744627140 -156-     enter into the Prudential Intercreditor Agreement (and any other intercreditor agreement  contemplated hereby and executed after the date hereof) on behalf of such Lender and agrees that  each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, in its various capacities thereunder,  may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Prudential Intercreditor  Agreement (and any such other intercreditor agreement).  SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent  that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements  or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each  such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the  resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in  respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable  notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be  governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of  the United States).  In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)  becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such  Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or  under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such  Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the  same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the  Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in  property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the  event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding  under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might  otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against  such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights  could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan  Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without  limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with  respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect  to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

following the approval by the Board. To earn any Target Bonus payment, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the last day of such Target Bonus period, except as set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Severance and Change in
Control Agreement between you and the Company dated as of December 6, 2021 (the “Severance and CIC Agreement”). 

You will receive a special one-time sign-on bonus in the
amount of $120,000.00, payable in two equal installments of $60,000.00 each, with the first installment payable on the first payroll date in 2022 (the “First Installment”), and the second installment payable on the
first payroll date following the first anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to your continued employment through each such date. In the event your employment with the Company terminates prior to the
one-year anniversary of the Effective Date for any reason other than a termination without “Cause,” you will be required to reimburse the Company as to the full amount of the

 
signing bonus (less taxes withheld by the Company). The Company shall have a right to offset any such reimbursement against any sums it might otherwise owe to you in the event of such
termination. For purposes of this offer letter, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Severance and CIC Agreement. 
 2.
Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits to the extent that you comply with the eligibility requirements of each such benefit plan. The Company, in
its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate its employee benefits at any time, with or without notice. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time.

 3. Equity. Subject to the approval of the Board or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted 150,000 restricted stock units
to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”). 1/3rd (50,000) of the RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and the remaining 2/3rds (100,000) of the RSUs will vest in eight equal installments of 12,500 each on each quarterly anniversary thereafter, in each case, subject to your continuing to provide services to the Company
through such dates. The RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to RSUs granted under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable restricted stock unit
agreement. Executive will also be eligible for an additional equity award in the amount of 287,000 performance share units to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock that will vest up to
1/3rd per year over a three-year period commencing January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024, upon the achievement of performance criteria to be mutually established by you and the
Compensation Committee (“PSUs”), with the specific terms of vesting of such PSUs, to be determined at the discretion and recommendation of the Compensation Committee and approval of the Board. Further, you will be eligible for an
additional award of up to 25,000 PSUs per calendar year, for 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, based on outperformance per calendar year, as determined by the Compensation Committee and approval of the Board. 

In addition to the RSUs and PSUs, you will be granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Option”). The exercise price of the Option shall be the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and shall vest 50% (150,000) on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, 25% (75,000) on the
third anniversary of the Effective Date and 25% (75,000) on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, respectively, in each case, subject to your continuing to provide services to the Company through such dates. 

4. Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. You hereby acknowledge that you will continue to be bound by the
Company Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement between you and the Company. 
 5. No Conflicting Obligations.
You represent and warrant to the Company that you are under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with your obligations under this offer letter. You shall not use or disclose, in connection with your
employment, any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which you or any other person has any right, title or interest and you confirm that your employment with the Company does not infringe or violate the rights

 6. At Will Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific
period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause or notice. Any contrary representations that may
have been made to you are superseded by this offer letter. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of
your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Board. Notwithstanding the forgoing, you may become entitled to certain benefits under termination of your employment under certain circumstances under that
certain Severance and CIC Agreement. 
 7. Tax Matters. 

(a) Withholding. All forms of compensation referred to in this offer letter are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding
and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. 
 (b) Tax Advice. You are encouraged to obtain your own tax advice regarding
your compensation from the Company. You agree that the Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors
related to tax liabilities arising from your compensation. 
 8. Complete Agreement, Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement. 

(a) This offer letter, the Severance and CIC Agreement, and the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement constitute the
complete agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and
the Company. At all times during your employment, you agree to abide by the Company’s employment policies and procedures, as such policies and procedures are in effect. 

(b) This offer letter may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized member
of the Board. The terms of this offer letter and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this offer letter or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this offer letter, your employment
with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by California law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law. You and the Company agree that any and all
Disputes, will be resolved solely and exclusively by final, binding, and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Santa Clara County, and conducted by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”)
under its then-existing employment rules and procedures. Nothing in this section, however, is intended to prevent either party from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent

irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Each party to an arbitration or litigation hereunder shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees. You and
the Company submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, in connection with any Dispute or any claim related to any Dispute.
