• Issuance of Commitment Shares In consideration for (i) the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and (ii) an initial investment of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) by the Investor in the Company on the date hereof, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue, on the date of this Agreement, 242,529 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Commitment Shares”) and 113,636 shares of Common Stock, the Initial Purchase Shares, directly to the Investor and shall deliver to the Transfer Agent the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions with respect to the issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares and Initial Purchase Shares in the form as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Initial Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the date of this Agreement, whether or not the Commencement shall occur or any Purchase Shares are purchased by the Investor under this Agreement and irrespective of any termination of this Agreement. In connection with each Regular Purchase of Purchase Shares hereunder, the Company shall issue to the Investor a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Commitment Shares” and, together with the Initial Commitment Shares, the “Commitment Shares”) equal to the product of (x) 404,216 and (y) the Purchase Amount Fraction. The “Purchase Amount Fraction” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchase Amount purchased by the Investor with respect to such Regular Purchase of Purchase Shares and the denominator of which is Ten Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,100,000). The Additional Commitment Shares shall be issued to the Investor on the same Business Day as Purchase Shares are issued to the Investor in connection with the applicable Regular Purchase in accordance with Section 2(c). In no event shall the amount of the Additional Commitment Shares to be issued under this Agreement exceed 404,216 shares of Common Stock, provided that such Additional Commitment Shares shall be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 180 days from the date of this Agreement, than all of the Additional Commitment Shares shall, as of such date, be immediately fully earned irrespective of any termination of this Agreement and the Company shall immediately issue to the Investor all of the Additional Commitment Shares.

• Revolving Commitment Fee The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender under each Facility in accordance with its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees for such Facility times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments for such Facility exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans for such Facility plus (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations for such Facility; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee with respect to each Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the applicable conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date during the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee with respect to each Revolving Credit Facility shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

• Revolving Credit Commitment Fee The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

• Revolving Commitment Increase (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time, to cause an increase in the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional Eligible Assignees that are not already Revolving Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Revolving Lenders to increase their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) both before and immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such date, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), (ii) no such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than $10,000,000 (unless the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect is greater than $390,000,000), (iii) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $600,000,000, (iv) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased without such Revolving Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Revolving Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and (v) the only Revolving Commitment Increase that may occur on or after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date is a single Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate amount not exceeding $200,000,000 on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000.

• The Letter of Credit Commitment (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings properly drawn under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (y) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. The Borrower agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the designation of any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender as an L/C Issuer.

• Extension of Commitments The Commitments may be extended in the manner and amount set forth in this subsection (b), for a period of 364 days measured from the Termination Date then in effect. If the Company wishes to request an extension of each Bank's Commitment, it shall give notice to that effect to the Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify each of the Banks of such request. Each Bank will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its discretion, within 30 days of such notice to the Agent. If any Bank shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period, such Bank shall be deemed to have rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment, and only the Commitments of those Banks which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Company, the Agent and all of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Agent shall provide to the Company, no later than 10 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, a list of the Banks which have responded affirmatively. The Extension Agreement shall be executed and delivered no later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, and no extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered. The Company and the Borrower may decline to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement if any Bank has rejected the Company's proposal to extend its Commitment or has failed to execute and deliver such Extension Agreement, and will promptly notify the Agent and the Banks if it so declines.

• Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares) the Revolving Credit Commitments, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000, or to terminate completely the Revolving Credit Commitments, without penalty or premium except as hereinafter set forth; provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable.
