(iii)    Debt Issuances. Subject to the Prepayment Premium, upon the receipt after the Closing Date by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance not permitted under Section 7.05 the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event, on or prior to the date which is three (3) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds), prepay the Loans as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iv)    [Reserved].

(v)    Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 2.03(b) not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such written notice shall specify the date of such prepayment, the sub-clause of this Section 2.03(b) such prepayment is being made under and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower.

If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans.

2.04.    Repayment of Loans.

(a)    The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis an aggregate principal amount of Loans per month equal to $5,700,000 on the last Business Day of each of the months ending March 31, 2024, April 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024.

(b)    The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any outstanding fees, if any, in each case, payable in accordance with the Loan Documents.

2.05.    Interest.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05(b) and, (c) and (f) and Section 2.14, the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) Term SOFR plus (y) the Applicable Rate.

(b)    

(i)    If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or there shall occur and be continuing any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest in cash upon demand of the Required Lenders on the outstanding Obligations hereunder at the Default Rate (which, for the avoidance of

doubt, will be instead of the interest rate otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.05(a)) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable in cash upon demand of the Required Lenders.

(c)    AccruedSubject to Section 2.05(f), accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that (i) accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable upon demand in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.05, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of any Loan, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or pre-payment, (iii) any portion of any accrued and unpaid interest that is not PIK Interest shall be payable in cash, and (iv) except to the extent paid in cash pursuant to clause (d) below, PIK Interest shall accrue and be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on each Interest Payment Date and, from and after each applicable Interest Payment Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall without further action by any party hereto be deemed to be increased by the aggregate amount of interest so capitalized and added to the Loans, whereupon such amount of interest so capitalized and added shall also accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d)    If the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. seven (7) Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, elects to pay all or a portion of any interest accrued under the Applicable PIK Rate in cash, (i) such interest (or the portion thereof) will be paid in cash and (ii) the remainder of such interest (if any) will be paid in kind, and capitalized and added to outstanding principal balance of the Loans in the amount of such PIK Interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date in accordance with clause (c) above.

(e)    In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(f)    For any month in which the Asset Coverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such month, beginning July 31, 2024, during the immediately following month the Loans shall bear additional interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to 3.00% (the “Additional Margin”). The accrued and unpaid Additional Margin Amount shall be due and payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the delivery of the Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b); provided that (i) accrued and unpaid Additional Margin Amount shall be payable upon demand in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.05 and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loans, accrued and unpaid Additional Margin Amount on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment. The Additional Margin Amount hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Margin Amount shall not be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans.

2.06.    Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest and fees for the Loans shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366 days in a leap year) and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.07.    Evidence of Debt.

The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records (including the Register maintained pursuant to Section 10.06(c)) maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. Such accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in the accounts or records shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount actually owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement is being executed as a “noteless” credit agreement. However, at the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Required Lenders (a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment permitted hereunder) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

2.08.    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. may, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

(b)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.08(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e)    Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f)    Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as provided in Section 8.03.

2.09.    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

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 the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i)    if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)    the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall apply).

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.10.    Fees.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time as set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

2.11.    Defaulting Lenders.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.11 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)    Amounts received in respect of principal of Loans shall be applied to reduce such Loans of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the Applicable Percentages of such Lender; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may hold the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(c)    A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to the Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders,” a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender or to have any outstanding Loans; 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 described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 10.01(a).

(d)    Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.11, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to (i) release a Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) alter the obligations of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) operate as a waiver of any default by a Defaulting Lender hereunder, or (iv) prejudice any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)    If the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) determines that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto.

2.12.    Tax Considerations.

For U.S. federal income tax purpose, the Borrower and the Lenders agree that the applicable Loans and the Warrants issued concurrently therewith (including the rights granted thereunder) shall be treated as an investment unit, and the purchase price of the investment unit shall equal the total purchase price paid by the applicable Class of Lenders for the applicable Class of Loans, of which a portion of the purchase price

equal to the fair market value of the common shares of the Borrower on the date such Warrants are issued shall be allocated to the Warrants. The Borrower and the Lenders agree to file tax returns consistent with the allocation set forth in this paragraph, unless otherwise required by any applicable Laws.

2.13.    Additional Incremental Indebtedness.

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

Within 30 days of the written request of the Required Lenders, (i) the Borrower agrees to borrow additional Loans, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in an amount sufficient to refinance or prepay in full the outstanding Indebtedness under the Residual Financing Facility solely for the purpose of causing the issuer thereunder to refinance or prepay in full the outstanding Indebtedness under the Residual Financing Facility and (ii) the Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of such Borrowing to pay the outstanding Indebtedness under the Residual Financing Facility in full; provided that (A) the Borrower shall be required to borrow under this Section 2.13 only if the Asset Coverage Ratio will be greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 (or such other ratio as mutually agreed in writing between the Lenders and the Borrower) on a pro forma basis for the relevant period ended immediately prior to the date of such Borrowing after giving effect to such Borrowing, (B) the additional Loans under this Section 2.13 shall be on the same terms as the Initial Loans borrowed on the Closing Date, with original issue discount equal to [***] per annum on the remaining life to maturity of such Loans (based on the number of years and days until the Maturity Date), and (C) the Borrower shall not be required to borrow under this Section 2.13 to the extent that any conditions to such Borrowing imposed by the Lenders would not be satisfied at the time such conditions are required by the Lenders to be satisfied.

2.14.    Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that if the Administrative Agent and Borrower each determine in good faith that the Benchmark Replacement is the prevailing market standard for USD-denominated syndicated of loans of a similar type, no Required Lender consent shall be required.

(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. If any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Term SOFR, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.14, any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan convert to, and shall constitute, a Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, from time to time if the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably determine in good faith that a comparable successor rate to Term SOFR (or a successor to such successor rate) becomes available for USD-denominated syndicated similar types of loans, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of any Lender to replace Term SOFR or any successor rate with the applicable successor rate to it pursuant to generally accepted then prevailing market convention as determined by the Borrower in good faith and to make such other conforming changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in connection therewith, including any necessary spread adjustment that is generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention determined by the Borrower in good faith. In addition, from time to time, if the Borrower and the Required Lenders determine that the circumstances described above arise, then, the Borrower and the Required Lenders may enter into an amendment to this

Agreement to implement the changes described above and to make such other conforming changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in connection therewith, in each case, so long as such rate is reasonably practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01.    Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

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

(c)    Tax Indemnification.

(i)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten

(10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participation Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this

Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)    Status of Lenders.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(e)(ii)(A), 3.01(e)(ii)(B) and 3.01(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

4162-5889-97814159-1327-7006

---

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 3.01 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 Section 3.01(f) (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 Section 3.01(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.01(f) 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.

(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 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.

(h)    Tax Status of Borrower. The Borrower is currently treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(i)    Tax Reporting Assistance. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist any Lender with information reasonably necessary in the computation of accruals with respect to any “original issue discount” with respect to the Loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

3.02.    Increased Costs.

---

(a)    If any Change in Law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such

additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine after consultation with the Borrower) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto).

(b)    If any Lender determines that after the date of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in any applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 3.02(b) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change after the date of this Agreement in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 3.02).

(d)    With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under this Section 3.02, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.03.    Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, subject to the limitations contained in this Article III.

Upon an acceleration of the Loans as a result of an Event of Default (including an acceleration upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other Debtor Relief Law or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(g) with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor), the amount of principal of, and premium on (if any), the Loans that becomes due and payable shall include the Prepayment Premium (if any), determined as of such date, shall become immediately due and payable by the Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the Obligations as if the Loans were being voluntarily prepaid or repaid as of such date, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment

Premium payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early repayment or prepayment of the Loans and each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the

Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment or redemption is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay or guarantee the payment of the Prepayment Premium, to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to make (or be deemed to make) the Loans.

8.03.    Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Agents in each of their capacities as such in accordance with the Loan Documents;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and amounts payable under Article III) payable in accordance with the Loan Documents to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

4144-3070-7525

---

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no underlying claim has been asserted), to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

8.04.    Equity Cure.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, in the event the Loan Parties fail to comply with the requirements of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01 (b) on the last day of any month (a “Test Date”), the Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) to cure such default during the ten (10) Business Days following the date the Compliance Certificate for such Test Date was required to be delivered (the “Cure Deadline”) by issuing Equity Interests or incurring Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations on terms acceptable to the Required Lenders and that is otherwise permitted hereunder, in each case, for cash proceeds in an aggregate amount that shall be sufficient to cure such default and be in compliance with Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), as applicable, as if the cash proceeds from such issuance were in the Borrower’s possession as of such Test Date. Upon receipt by the Borrower of such cash proceeds from such Equity Interests or subordinated Indebtedness (the “Cure Amount”), the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent documentation to effect such recalculation and the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i)    solely for such month (and any twelve-month period that includes such month) and solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the applicable covenant in Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b), Cash shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

(ii)    other than as described in this Section 8.04, no Cure Amount shall be used when determining any ratio test or other purpose under this Agreement; and

(iii)    if, after giving effect to the foregoing calculations, the Loan Parties shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(b), the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(b) as of the relevant Test Date with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the applicable financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement as of the applicable Test Date and shall be deemed to have never existed.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) the Cure Right may not be exercised more than twice in any in consecutive four Fiscal Quarters, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right may be exercised no more than five (5) times, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of causing the Loan Parties to comply with the applicable financial covenant as of the relevant Test Date, and (iv) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for calculating financial covenants for all other purposes of this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts other than as provided in this Section 8.04.

(c)    During the period from the applicable Test Date in which the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) are not in compliance through the Cure Deadline, neither the Lenders nor the Agent shall exercise any remedies arising due to failure of the Loan Parties to comply with the requirements of the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01(a) and/or Section

4144-3070-7525

7.01(b) on the applicable Test Date (including imposition of the Default Rate, acceleration of the Obligations or termination of any Commitments).

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

9.01.    Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders hereby (i) irrevocably appoints Wilmington Trust to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs each Agent to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party on the date hereof on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Collateral Agent shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the Collateral Documents to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent set forth in this Article IX.

Any corporation or association into which any Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which such Agent is a party, will be and become the successor Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative

relationship between independent contracting parties.

The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights (including the right to request that the Borrower take an action or deliver a document and the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default) granted to any Agent herein shall not be construed as duties. No Agent shall have any responsibility for interest or income on any funds held by it hereunder and any funds so held shall be held un-invested pending distribution thereof. Whether or not explicitly set forth therein, the rights, powers,

4144-3070-7525

---

protections, immunities and indemnities granted to each Agent herein shall apply to any document entered into by such Agent in connection with its role as Agent under the Loan Documents. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, the Required Lenders shall have the right to direct the Agents in all matters concerning the Loan Documents.

9.02.    Rights as a Lender.

Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall, if it is a Lender, have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, and to the extent applicable, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03.    Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and their duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative and ministerial in nature. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents:

(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such

Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 10.01) or (ii) 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). No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice, conspicuously marked as a “notice of default” describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any action taken (or not taken) by an Agent or its Related Parties at the direction or instruction of the Required Lenders shall not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent or its Related Parties. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require any Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if such Agent has reason to believe the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against or security for such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii)

4144-3070-7525

---

the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the calculation of the Applicable Premium or the Prepayment Premium or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent shall be obligated to calculate or confirm the calculations of any financial covenants set forth herein or the other Loan Documents or in any of the financial statements of the Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable to the Lenders for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it to such Lenders in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover pro rata from the other Lenders any payment equal to the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

No Agent shall be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral.

No Agent shall be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as such Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against any Loan Party or any other obligor outside of the United States.

No Agent shall be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Agent is a party, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to such Agent.

No Agent shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of any Loan Party, the Lenders, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employees,

nor shall they have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party; the Agents may assume performance by all such Persons of their respective obligations.

No Agent shall 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 and the Collateral Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) 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.

Phrases such as “satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent”, “approved by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent”, “acceptable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent”, “as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent”, “in the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent’s discretion”, “selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent”, and phrases of similar import authorize and permit the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion, it being understood that the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in exercising such discretion under the Loan Documents shall be acting on the instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or all Lenders to the extent required hereunder) and shall be fully protected in, and shall incur no liability in connection with, acting or failing to (or failing to act while awaiting such instruction) pursuant to such instructions. Upon request from the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent shall confirm that the Lenders executing any document or delivering any direction are, in fact, the Required Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agents to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or

4144-3070-7525

---

assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to any anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower or its respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under any anti-terrorism law.

9.04.    Reliance by and Direction to Agents.

(a)    Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, legal order, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise made by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein or in any of the Loan Documents, in each instance where the action or inaction of an Agent is required or permitted, or discretionary rights or powers conferred upon an Agent may be exercised or refrained from being exercised hereunder or under

any of the other Loan Documents, or whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by any Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by an Agent, it is understood that in all cases such Agent shall not be required to take any action in the absence of written direction from the Required Lenders, and shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to consult with, or seek the affirmative or negative vote from, the Required Lenders or, if otherwise applicable, the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents or in any agreement to which the Required Lenders and such Agent is a party), and it may do so pursuant to a negative notice or otherwise, and each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under the Loan Documents if it has not received such written instruction, advice or concurrence as such Agent deems appropriate from such Lenders. Upon receipt of such written direction from such Lenders, such Agent shall take such discretionary actions in accordance with such written instruction, advice or concurrence and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of each Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle any other party hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any other party hereto. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as may be expressly provided hereby or thereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The provisions of this paragraph are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other exculpatory provisions set forth herein.

9.05.    Delegation of Duties.

Each Agent may perform any and all 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 such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent. Any delegation by an Agent of its rights and powers shall not preclude the subsequent exercise of those rights and powers by such Agent, any revocation of such delegation or any subsequent delegation of any such rights or powers. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Agents may from time to

4144-3070-7525

---

time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to any Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. The Agents shall not be responsible for the supervision, negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

9.06.    Resignation or Removal of Agents.

Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower and at any time the Required Lenders may remove any Agent by giving written notice to such Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation by the Lenders (in the case of resignation) or notice of removal by the applicable Agent (in the case of removal), the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the

Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be required to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any such consent request within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request). Whether or not a successor has been appointed, the resignation of any Agent shall nonetheless become effective on the date that is 30 days following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation and, in the case of removal, such removal shall become effective upon the applicable date of removal set forth by the Required Lenders in the notice of removal (provided that such date is not later than 30 days following receipt of such notice by the Agent being removed) and (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring or removed Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06 and (3) in no event shall the retiring or removed Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender 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 the failure of a successor Agent to be appointed and to accept such appointment. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as such Agent.

9.07.    Non-Reliance on Agents and Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information 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.

9.08.    Agents May File Proofs of Claim.

4144-3070-7525

---

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the

Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)    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 judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender 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, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Section 10.04. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.09.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent:

(a)    to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no underlying claim has been asserted), (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or any Involuntary Disposition (provided that, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall certify in an officer’s certificate to the Collateral Agent and Lenders constituting Required Lenders that such Disposition or Involuntary Disposition is permitted under this Agreement (and each Lender agrees that the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry)) or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 10.01; and

(b)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (provided that, upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such transaction has been or was consummated in compliance with the Loan Documents (it being agreed and understood that the Agents may conclusively rely without further inquiry on such certificate)).

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, pursuant to this Section 9.09.

---

Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any assets of the Loan Parties in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable law a security interest can be perfected by possession or control, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights granted or available to any Agent in any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents or otherwise to the contrary, the Agents shall have no obligation or duty to (a) perfect, maintain, monitor, preserve or protect any security interest, right or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or take any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral; (b) file, record or continue any document, financing statement, continuation statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance, or other instrument in any public office at any time or times; or (c) provide, maintain, monitor or preserve insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any Collateral.

The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral and shall be relieved of all responsibility for any Collateral in its possession upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Loan Parties (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct). The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. The Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent, except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee.

9.10.    Force Majeure.

In no event shall any Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused by, directly or

indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, pandemics, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, government action or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility; it being understood such Agent shall use reasonable efforts to resume efforts as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

9.11.    Erroneous Payments.

(a)    Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) 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 were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an

4144-3070-7525

---

“Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous 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 Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives 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 Erroneous Payments received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), 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, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, 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 Erroneous Payments received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c)    The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment

(or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 9.11), 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(d)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 9.11 and which has not been returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Administrative Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(e)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

9.12.    Enforcement.

4144-3070-7525

---

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 and the Collateral Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 , or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Loan Parties under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and the Collateral Documents, as applicable.

9.13.    Survival.

The agreements in this Article IX shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations.

ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS

10.01.    Amendments.

writing signed by the Required Lenders (except as otherwise set forth in clauses (a) through (d) below) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that

(a)    no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i)    increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such

Lender;

(ii)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (i) of the final proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) waive a Default or Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.03(b);

(iii)    postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive a Default or Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.03(b);

(iv)    change Section 2.09 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

4144-3070-7525

(vi)    change any provision of this Section 10.01(a) or the definition of “Required Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(viii)    release the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Guarantors without the written consent of each Lender;

(b)    unless also signed by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(c)    the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein; and

(d)    the Agent Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the respective parties thereto;

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Further, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all of the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such notice, or such shorter periods as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (the “Loan Modification Accepting Lenders”), and only with respect to the Loans as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and each Loan Modification Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent giving effect to the Permitted Amendment (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby.

10.02.    Notices and Other Communications.

(a)    Notices Generally. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by email as follows:

(i)    if to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any Agent, to the address or electronic mail address specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02; and

4144-3070-7525

---

(ii)    if to any Lender, to the address, electronic mail address or telephone number set forth in the Administrative Questionnaire as amended from time to time in writing to the Administrative Agent.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received. Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent permitted by subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b)    Electronic Communications; Platform. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the

Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Any Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (in the form of electronic communications) specifying that any required deliverables have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of such deliverables to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may make any deliverables available to the Lenders by posting such deliverables on IntraLinks, Debtdomain, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that if it or any of its parent companies has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”. By marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower authorizes such Borrower Materials to be made available to a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” which is intended to contain only information that is publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws or is of a type that would be publicly available if the Borrower were a public reporting company (in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. The following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material nonpublic information: (1) the Loan Documents (excluding schedules, certificates, computations and any documents

4144-3070-7525

---

related to the foregoing, unless consented to by the Borrower in writing), and (2) the information delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b).

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents and their Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent or their Related Parties in connection with the Platform. In no event shall any Agent or their Related Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person 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 the Loan Parties’ or the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)    Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Agents may change its address or electronic mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each Lender may change its address or electronic mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and by amendment to its Administrative Questionnaire as to the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to update its Administrative Questionnaire from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

(d)    Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with any Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.03.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure by any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.04.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)    Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties (but limited to (x) one primary counsel each for (I) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which shall be Ballard Spahr LLP for any and all of the foregoing in connection herewith and other matters, to occur on or prior to or otherwise in connection with the Closing Date) and (II) the Lenders, and (y) one local counsel each for (I) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and (II) the Lenders, in each case, as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to each group of similarly situated affected Lenders)), and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and

expenses incurred by the Secured Parties (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Secured Parties) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.04, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to, indemnify or hold harmless such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be,

For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments (if any) at the time or, if such expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date on which the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, determined as of the day immediately prior to the date on which the Obligations were paid in full. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(d). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this clause (c).

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06.    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their

4144-3070-7525

---

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b) or (ii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(d) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Loans); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    Minimum Amounts.

(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the Loans at the time owing to the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)    in any case not described in Section 10.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the

Administrative Agent shall not be less than $1,000,000 (and integral multiples in excess thereof) unless the Administrative Agent consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent by the assignee with respect to such assignment (other than with respect to assignments pursuant to Section 10.13, in which case such fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower); provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, all requested “know your customer” documentation and the applicable tax forms under Section 3.01(e).

(iii)    Borrower’s Consent. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have provided its prior written consent to any such assignment (other than any assignment to any Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund), such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, and shall be deemed given if not affirmatively denied by the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor.

(iv)    No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(v)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural

person.

(vi)    No Assignment to Disqualified Institutions. No such assignment shall be made to a Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for or duty to ascertain or inquire into compliance by any Lender or other person with the restrictions and limitations relating to Disqualified Institutions.

(vii)    Taxes. Assignee shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 3.01 only if the Borrower is notified of the assignment and such assignee complies with the requirements of Section 3.01(e),

4144-3070-7525

---

and in no event shall an assignee be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01(a) than the assignor would be entitled to receive.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01), 3.02, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or

obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations.

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

(d)    Certain Pledges; Participations. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. If any Lender sells (or is deemed to have sold) a participation in all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents 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 Lender that sells (or is deemed to have sold) to any Person a participation in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (“Participation Register”) with respect to the ownership and transfer of each participation containing the information set forth in the Register described in Section 10.06(c); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participation Register (including the identity of any Person holding a participation interest or any information relating to a Person’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 U.S. Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). No transfer of a participation shall be effective unless recorded in such Participation Register. The entries in the Participation Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participation Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No transfer of a participation shall be effective if made to (i) a natural person or (ii) only if the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to each Lender, a Disqualified Institution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participation Register.

(e)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or

4144-3070-7525

---

enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Agent is obligated to agree to accept

electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

10.07.    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors and Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, sub-advisors, lenders, and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall agree to keep such Information confidential prior to any such disclosure), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or pursuant to legal process, in which case it shall notify the Borrower of the disclosure thereof unless such notification is prohibited by law, (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, in which case it shall notify the Borrower of the disclosure thereof unless such notification is prohibited by law (provided that, no notice shall be required for any disclosures made by a Lender (or its investors) to the extent required by ERISA), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party, (i) consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify any Loan Party or (j)(A) to an investor or prospective investor in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender that also agrees that Information shall be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender (except, in each case to the extent required by ERISA), (B) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by such Approved Fund, or (C) to a nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Loan Documents in connection with ratings issued in respect of securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender.

For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary and not due to a known breach of this Section 10.07. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08.    Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, Lender and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, Lender or any such Affiliate to

4144-3070-7525

---

or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Agent or Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Agent, Lender and their Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Agent, Lender or their Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09.    Interest Rate Limitation.

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

10.10.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Signature.

(a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b)    This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or as any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form shall be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the

avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in such party’s constitutive documents, including having the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system.

10.11.    Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the making of any Loan, and

4144-3070-7525

---

shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12.    Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13.    Replacement of Lenders.

If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (iii) any Lender does not consent to an amendment of the terms of this Agreement sought by the Borrower in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.01 or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14.    GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.

(a)    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

4144-3070-7525

---

ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c)    WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION 10.14. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d)    SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

10.15.    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.15.

10.16.    USA Patriot Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Secured Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.18.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
