Borrowers are interdependent for their operational and financial needs, and they, Lenders, and Collateral Agent intend that each Borrower be jointly and severally liable for each monetary obligation, warranty, and covenant obligation arising under this Agreement. This Agreement is fair to all Borrowers, and the delivery of funds to a Borrower under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers for the purpose of jointly and severally binding them and their assets to secure the Obligations. Lenders and Collateral Agent may enforce this Agreement against a Borrower without first making demand upon or instituting collection proceedings against any other Borrower.

3.2    Funding Requests and Administration. A Borrower may act on behalf of all Borrowers for the purpose of giving and receiving notices and otherwise acting in the administration of this Agreement. Any dealing of a Borrower with Lenders or Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed for the benefit of, and on behalf of, all Borrowers.

3.3    Unconditional Obligation. The unconditional liability of each Borrower for the entire amount of the Obligations shall not be impaired by any event whatsoever (other than the discharge of such Borrower by indefeasible payment in cash), including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation, dissolution, cessation of business, or liquidation of any other Borrower; the financial decline or bankruptcy of any other Borrower; the failure of any other party to guarantee the Obligations or to provide collateral therefor; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s compromise or settlement with or without release of any other Borrower, with or without reservation of rights; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s release of any collateral for the Obligations, with or without notice to a Borrower; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s forbearance in the exercise of any available remedies, including the failure to file suit against any other Borrower; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to give a Borrower notice of default; the unenforceability of the Obligations against any other Borrower due to bankruptcy discharge, affirmative defense, counterclaim, or for any other reason; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s acceleration of the Obligations; the extension, modification, or renewal of the Obligations; Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to undertake or exercise diligence in collection efforts against any party or Property; the termination of any relationship of a Borrower with any other Borrower, including, without limitation, any relationship of commerce or ownership; a Borrower’s change of name or use of any name other than the name used to identify such Borrower in this Agreement; or a Borrower’s use of the credit extended by Lenders for any purpose whatsoever.

- 26 -

3.4    Subrogation Rights. Borrowers’ respective Subrogation Rights with respect to the Obligations are not impaired by this Agreement and are appropriately taken into account in determining that each Borrower is Solvent. Settlement responsibilities for the Obligations among Borrowers shall be allocated in the application of Subrogation Rights as to best uphold the validity of this Agreement and to give effect to Section 3.5; provided, however, each Borrower agrees not to make any claim against or seek any payment directly or indirectly from another Borrower with respect to any Subrogation Right until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

3.5    Savings Provision. If, notwithstanding the contrary agreement and intention of the parties hereto, the liability of a Borrower hereunder for the entire amount of the Obligations shall be subject to avoidance, reduction, or limitation under any state or federal fraudulent conveyance law or other Law that may be determined to be applicable, the liability of such Borrower shall be limited to the maximum amount for which such Borrower may be liable without legal impairment.

3.6    Independent Existence. The joint and several liability of Borrowers for the Obligations does not impair their separate legal existence, and Borrowers warrant and represent that they do, and agree that they shall continue to, conduct their affairs so as to maintain their separate legal existence.

After the retiring or removed Collateral Agent’sAgent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article and the indemnity provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Collateral Agent, its sub-agents, and their respective employees and agents respecting any actions taken or omitted

If (i) CCSD I or CCSD II assigns or sells a participation interest (except to the other) in any of the Term Loan held by it as of the Closing Date, and (ii) Xxxxxxx has not, as of the time of such assignment or sale, assigned or sold a participation interest in the Term Loan held by it as of the Closing Date, then Xxxxxxx may within thirty (30) days by notice to CCSD I and CCSD II and Borrowers remove CCSD I as Collateral Agent and substitute Xxxxxxx as Collateral Agent. As the former Collateral Agent, CCSD I would continue to have the residual rights of indemnity that it would have had if it had resigned.

10.8    Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates 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 Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates 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.

10.9    Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, 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 Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Collateral Agent and, in the event that Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Collateral

- 61 -

Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.10    Exercise of Remedies. Collateral Agent shall proceed as set forth in this Section regarding the exercise of remedies upon an Event of Default.

(a)    Unanimous Approval Absent Change. If, at the time of determination, Xxxxxxx and CCSD I/CCSD II are equal owners of the entire legal and beneficial interests in the Term Loans, Collateral Agent shall exercise no remedy under any Loan Document without the prior approval of the Required Lenders.

(b)    Collateral Agent Judgment if Change. If, at the time of determination, Xxxxxxx and CCSD I/CCSD II are not equal owners of the entire legal and beneficial interests in the Term Loans, Collateral Agent shall exercise such remedies and refrain from the exercise of such remedies as it may deem appropriate, and may seek the approval of Lenders on such matters as Collateral Agent may determine.

(c)    Reasonable Advice to Lenders. Collateral Agent shall in all cases keep Lenders reasonably apprised of Collateral Agent’sAgent’s actions in the enforcement of remedies and, to the extent circumstances reasonably permit, shall consult with Lenders regarding such enforcement.

10.11    Administrative Collateral Matters.

(a)    Authority to Release. Lenders irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Encumbrance on any Property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to subordinate any Encumbrance on any Property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Encumbrance on such Property that is permitted by this Agreement; and

(iii) to release a Borrower from its liability for the Obligations if such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of the remaining Borrower(s) as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

(b)    Confirmations. Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’sAgent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property.

- 62 -

10.12    No Duty to Monitor Collateral. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value, or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority, or perfection of Collateral Agent’sAgent’s Encumbrance thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan PartyBorrower in connection therewith, nor shall Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

10.13    Sharing Among Lenders.

(a)    Settling Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify Collateral Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations 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 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 are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrowers 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, other than to Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

(b)    Borrowers’’ Agreement. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 11.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1    Usury Savings Provision. It is the intention of the parties that all consideration under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Obligations, however denominated, and including (without limitation) all interest; commitment, transaction, or

- 63 -

processing fees; late charges; loan charges; and other such charges shall be limited to the maximum lawful amount permitted under applicable state law or, if higher, applicable federal law (the “Maximum Lawful Amount”). Such consideration shall be characterized and all provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to uphold the validity of charges provided for therein and any rates shall be calculated based upon the scheduled maturity of the Obligations and not based upon any prepayment or early maturity by acceleration. If for any reason, any interest and/or other charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the Term Loans shall exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay such interest and/or other charges shall be reduced to the Maximum Lawful Amount in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Lenders that exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Term Loans and/or refunded to Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the Term Loans exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. This provision shall control every other provision herein and in any and all other agreements and instruments now existing or hereafter arising between Borrowers and Lender with respect to the Term Loan.

11.2    Publicity. Borrowers shall not issue any press release, notice, disclosure, or other such publicity regarding the Term Loans or their relationship with Lenders without the prior written consent of Lenders.

11.3    No Reliance on Lender’s Analysis. Borrowers acknowledge and represent that, in connection with the Obligations, they have not relied upon any financial projection, budget, assessment, or other analysis by Lenders or upon any representation by Lenders as to the risks, benefits, or prospects of their business activities or present or future capital needs incidental thereto, all such considerations having been examined fully and independently by Borrowers.

11.4    No Marshaling of Assets. Lenders may proceed against any collateral securing the Obligations or other obligations to Lenders and against parties liable therefor in such order as it may elect, and neither a Borrower nor any surety or guarantor for a Borrower nor any creditor of a Borrower shall be entitled to require Lenders to marshal assets. Borrowers hereby expressly waive the benefit of any rule of law or equity to the contrary.

11.5    Business Days. If any payment date under the Obligations falls on a day that is not a Business Day, or if the last day of any notice period falls on such a day, the payment shall be due and the notice period shall end on the next following Business Day.

11.6    Limitations of Damages. In no event shall Lenders ever be liable to Borrowers for (i) special, consequential, incidental, or other such damages arising from or related to the Term Loans or any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) punitive, exemplary, or other such damages arising from or related to the Term Loans or any of the Loan Documents.

11.7    Notices. All notices and communications relating to this Agreement shall be effective only when made in writing and actually delivered by mail, overnight courier, special courier, telecopier, email or otherwise to the addresses set forth below (or to such other address as a party may direct by a notice that complies with this Section), provided that (i) facsimile transmissions shall be effective only when confirmation of is received from the intended recipient’s facsimile

- 64 -

11.8    Not Fiduciary; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither Lenders nor Collateral Agent is a fiduciary of a Borrower under any agreement or for any purpose. This Agreement has been executed for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and no third party is authorized to rely upon Lenders’ or Collateral Agent’ rights or duties hereunder.

11.9    Incorporation of Schedules. All Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

11.10    Indulgence Not Waiver. Any party’s indulgence in a departure from the terms of this Agreement shall not prejudice the party’s right to demand strict compliance with this Agreement, absent a written waiver or amendment that would be binding under the terms of this Agreement.

11.11    Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties, except that (i) Borrowers may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations arising hereunder without the prior written consent of Lenders, and (ii) Lenders may assign their rights only as permitted in this Section. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Borrowers without the required prior written consent shall be void. Lenders may freely assign the Term Loans or grant participation interests in the Term Loans, in each case in whole or in part; provided, however, (i) no such assignment or participation interest in a Term Loan shall be effective unless and until notice thereof is given to Lenders, Borrowers, and Collateral Agent; (ii) absent the consent of Lenders, Borrowers, and Collateral Agent, no assignment or participation interest may be transferred to a Person whose foreign status would impose any duty of withholding or other burden or restriction upon any of Lenders, Borrowers, or Collateral Agent; and (iii) absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders may not, without the written consent of Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), assign a Term Loan or grant a participation interest therein to any Person except to (A) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (B) an investment fund or other institutional investor that acquires a major part of a Lender’s investment portfolio and which is not (either directly or through an Affiliate) engaged in Borrowers’ Line of Business. To avoid doubt, upon and during the

- 66 -

continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders may freely assign the Term Loans or grant participation interests in the Term Loans without Borrowers’ consent.

11.12    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other written agreements executed by the parties represent the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and all oral discussions and prior agreements are merged herein; provided, however, if there is a conflict between this Agreement and any other document executed contemporaneously herewith with respect to the Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

11.13    Construction. This Agreement has been actively negotiated by the parties with full benefit of counsel and shall not be construed against either party as author. This Agreement shall not be deemed as amended, modified, or waived or construed to vary from its express terms by any course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade.

11.14    Requirements of Writing. When this Agreement requires that information be delivered in writing, or when it requires the delivery of information but is silent on the form of a delivery, it means that the required information must be delivered either in written language on paper or delivered as an electronic record in a generally accepted means of storage (e.g., a .pdf file, email text in format accepted by Microsoft Outlook, or faxed image). Oral statements shall not in any event suffice as writings, even if recorded, and regardless of their content.

11.15    Amendments, Waivers, and Consents.

(a)    Procedural Requirements. No provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be amended, modified, or waived, and no related consent, approval, or additional agreement shall be binding, except as evidenced by a written document signed in hand by the party against whom such undertaking is to be enforced. Without limiting the foregoing, oral discussions (even if recorded), voice mail messages, and the text of ordinary electronic mail correspondence (that is, email correspondence that lacks a representation of a handwritten signature) shall not be binding, regardless of their content, its being the agreement of the parties that absent a handwritten signature all such communications should be conclusively regarded as nonbinding. A document signed in hand may be effectively evidenced by an electronic record that qualifies as a writing under this Agreement.

(b)    Approval of Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended, and provisions thereof waived, only upon the written agreement of Borrowers and Collateral Agent (except that the agreement of Borrowers shall not be required as to Article 10Article 10, except for Section 10.13(b)); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) increase the commitment of a Lender to extend any credit to any Borrower, without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any of the Term Loans or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce fees payable thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any of the Term Loans, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected

- 67 -

thereby, (iv) change Section 2.11, any provision of Article 10Article 10, or this Section 11.15(b), without the written consent of all Lenders.

(c)    Lender Consent in Other Capacities. To avoid doubt, no action taken by a Lender designee on the Governing Body of a Borrower shall constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Loan Documents. To the extent that any such action requires a waiver, consent, or amendment under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall be responsible to raise the issue and propose or request a formal written waiver, consent, or amendment.

11.16    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, and all dates and time periods specified herein shall be strictly observed.

11.17    Gender and Number. Words used herein indicating gender or number shall be read as context may require.

11.18    Captions Not Controlling. Captions and headings have been included in this Agreement for the convenience of the parties, and shall not be construed as affecting the content of the respective Sections.

11.19    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with all signatures or by counterpart signature pages, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties be contained on any one document. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.20    Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws. Borrowers, each holder of equity of Borrower, and all Beneficial Owners and Affiliates of Borrowers and each such owner of equity are and shall at all times remain in compliance with (i) the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-65; and (ii) other Laws as may be enacted now or in the future relating to anti-terrorism measures.

11.21    Applicable Law. The laws of the State of Tennessee (without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles) and applicable federal law shall govern all matters arising from or related to this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including the validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement thereof; provided, however, pursuant to TCA §00-00-000, the substantive laws of the State of Alabama shall govern this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regarding interest, loan charges, commitment fees, brokerage commissions, and other consideration charged by Xxxxxxx, except to the extent that federal law upholding such charges may otherwise apply. The parties acknowledge that Xxxxxxx’x principal office is located in Alabama and that such contacts are sufficient to support the election of Alabama law to the extent stated above.

11.22    Consent to Jurisdiction; Exclusive Venue. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle

- 68 -

District of Tennessee and of all Tennessee state courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, for the purpose of any litigation to which any Lender may be a party and which arises from or is related to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document that does not expressly provide to the contrary. It is further agreed that venue for any such action shall lie exclusively with such courts, unless (i) Lenders and Collateral Agent agree to the contrary in writing, or (ii) Lenders or Collateral Agent initiate litigation in another court that has personal jurisdiction over the parties to that action or has in rem jurisdiction over Property relevant to the action. The parties waive any right to assert that the elected forum is not convenient and any right to raise any other objection to this election of exclusive venue.

11.23    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and with full benefit of counsel, irrevocably waives any right to obtain a trial by jury in any litigation arising from or related to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document and confirms that the effect of this waiver is that all issues of fact and law in any such litigation shall be determined by a judge acting without a jury. This waiver is a material inducement to the execution of this Agreement and is intended to apply whether such litigation is based upon contract, tort, statute, or any other authority.

11.24    Amended and Restated Agreement. This Agreement is an amendment to and restatement of, and not an extinguishment of, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Borrowers Loan Agreement. All guaranty agreements, liens, assignments and security interests securing the Obligations and the Loan Documents are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed, extended and brought forward as security for the Obligations described in this Agreement, in addition to and cumulative of all other security.

11.25    Joinder of i3 Management and i3-RS. i3 Management and i3-RS each hereby joins in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the other Existing Borrowers are a party, including joining in (ii) the Term Loan Notes as a “Maker,” and (iii) the Security Agreement as a “Debtor,” and all such documents are hereby amended to include each of i3 Management and i3-RS as a party thereto. i3 Management and i3-RS each further (i) agrees to make all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is joined as of the date hereof; (ii) grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, a valid and enforceable security interest in and to all of its assets constituting Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), free and clear of all Encumbrances except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement; and (iii) agrees that it hereby assumes, and is a direct obligor primarily liable for, all of the Obligations, whether now or hereafter arising. Without limiting the foregoing, i3 Management and i3-RS each agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable with Existing Borrowers and any other Borrower for all liabilities and obligations of each such Borrower to Collateral Agent and Lenders irrespective of when such liabilities or obligations first arose under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, i3 Management and i3-RS each agrees to execute and/or deliver to Collateral Agent such additional loan documents, security instruments, UCC financing statements, and other documents, instruments, certificates or agreements as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to give effect to this joinder of i3 Management and i3-RS.

- 69 -

11.26    Affirmation; Collateral; Consent; Waivers regarding Warrants and Leases.

(a)    Affirmation of Loan Documents. Borrowers acknowledge, warrant, and represent that (i) pursuant to the Loan Documents, their obligations to repay the Obligations are absolute and unconditional, and there exists no right of deduction, setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or defense of any nature whatsoever to payment of the Obligations, (ii) the Loan Documents are valid and enforceable against Borrowers in accordance with their terms (subject to principles of equity and laws applicable to the rights of creditors generally, including bankruptcy laws) and grant valid and perfected security interests and liens in the collateral described therein with the priority required by the Loan Documents, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default presently exists under the Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby release Lenders and Collateral Agent from any claim, defense, or right of setoff, known or unknown, that any Borrower may have against any of them as of the execution of this Agreement; provided, however, to avoid doubt, Lenders and Collateral Agent are not released from their future obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b)    Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it previously has granted, or contemporaneously herewith is granting, to Collateral Agent a continuing security interest in substantially all of its Property pursuant to the Security Agreement. Each Borrower hereby (i) affirms its grant of a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) to secure the Obligations, and (ii) acknowledges that Secured Party shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party provided by the UCC.

(c)    Approval of Increase to Senior Debt. Lenders (i) consent to Borrowers’ incurring of Debt pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement, (ii) agree that such Debt shall be treated as a Senior Loan under this Agreement, and (iii) agree that First Bank of America, N.A. shall be treated as the Administrative Agent under the Senior Loan Agreement.

(d)    Waiver of Certain Matters Regarding Issuance of Equity.

(1)    Lenders agree that i3 Verticals may issue 120,000 Class P non-voting units of i3 Verticals to Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxx pursuant to that Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 31, 2014, between RentShare, Inc., certain “Owners” thereof, and i3-RS without making any adjustment to the Warrants pursuant to Section 8 thereof.

(e)    Certain Matters Regarding Leases.

(1)    Lenders hereby waive the requirements of Section 6.13 of this Agreement with respect to (i) the lease by i3-RS of office space located at 115 Xxxx 00xx Xx., Xxxx 000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, (xx) xxx lease by CP-USDC of office space located at 2761 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, xxd (iii) the lease by i3 Verticals of office space located at 40 Bxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, xx long as Borrowers vacate such space on or before April 1, 2015.

(2)    Lenders hereby agree that the time for delivering applicable landlord agreements pursuant to Section 6.13 of this Agreement is hereby extended to (i) on or before February

Collateral Agent and Lenders hereby consent to such security interest and waive any Defaults or Events of Default that exist or may arise on account of the granting or existence of such security interest. Borrowers obtained a landlord waiver from the landlord of the Xxx Premises, but such waiver is not in form acceptable to Collateral Agent and Lenders in all respects. Borrowers’ failure to obtain an acceptable landlord waiver shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that until Borrowers obtain a landlord waiver acceptable to Collateral Agent and Lenders in all respects, in their reasonable discretion, Borrowers covenant and agree that the value of all assets of Borrowers located on the Xxx Premises shall not at any time exceed $50,000.00.
