On each Interest Date, the then outstanding principal on the Existing Term Loan shall be increased by an amount (the “PIK Amount”) equal to the PIK Interest Rate.

(ii) On each such Interest Date, Borrowers shall, with respect to interest at the PIK Interest Rate, as set forth below, accrue and capitalize the Priority PIK Amounts to the outstanding principal of the Priority Term Loan A. On each Interest Date, the then outstanding principal on the Priority Term Loan A shall be increased by an amount (the “Priority PIK Amount”) equal to the Priority PIK Interest Rate.

(iii) 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.

(iv) Notwithstanding subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof, no earlier than five (5) Business Days following the date on which Borrower’s financial statements have been delivered in accordance with Section 7.01(b), commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2016, Borrowers shall pay from Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Quarter a quarterly interest payment in cash, to the extent permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement, in the amount not exceeding the lesser of (x) the amount of quarterly accrued interest in arrears at the PIK Interest Rate on the Term Loans for such prior Fiscal Quarter computed in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(i) and (ii) hereof, or (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Quarter.

(v) Concurrently, and only to the extent not duplicative of any certificate provided under Section 2.05(b)(v)(B), with any payment of cash interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(iv), the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer thereof demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the Excess Cash Flow and interest computed in accordance with Sections 2.07(a)(i) and (ii) hereof. In the event the amount of Excess Cash Flow is less than the amount of interest computed in accordance with Sections 2.07(a)(i) and (ii) hereof and Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount of such Excess Cash Flow exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly make an additional payment out of such excess to satisfy any deficiency of interest due and payable under Section 2.07(b)(iv) to the extent permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer thereof demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(vi) In the event any cash payments made pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) are less than the amount of quarterly accrued interest at the PIK Interest Rate on the Term Loans for such prior quarterly period computed pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) and (ii) hereof, such cash payments shall be applied to (a) first, accrued interest for such period on the Priority Term Loan A until such amount is paid in full, and (b) second, accrued interest for such period on the Existing Term Loan.

(vii) The Second Lien Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to recharacterize all or any portion of any cash payment of interest in accordance with subclauses (iv) and (vi) hereof as a repayment of principal on the Term Loans, in which case, any such cash payments of interest so recharacterized shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vii).

(c) (i) If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter (from the time not paid or, if applicable, following the expiration of any applicable grace period) at the discretion of the Agent, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, and be paid in kind, compounded, capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans on each Interest Date (pro rata as among the applicable Lenders) to the Loan type selected by Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws (including the SBIC Regulations). All amounts of fees and expenses (including any amendment, forbearance, or closing fees) that are or may become due and owing under the Loan Documents, or for which the due date has been or may in the future be otherwise deferred, may at any time, at the election of Agent, be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans.

(ii) If any other Event of Default exists, then the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require (and notify the Borrowers thereof) that all outstanding Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, which shall be paid in kind, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws (including the SBIC Regulations).

2.08 Fees.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Closing Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(d) Maintenance Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account, a monthly maintenance fee, due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month, commencing with the first Business Day of August, 2016, in the amount of $2,500, which fee shall be non-refundable.

(e) Generally. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.09 [Reserved].

2.10 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by the Lenders shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Agent (the “Loan Account”) in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Agent may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.11 Payments Generally. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders at the Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall 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 Borrowers 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 on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

2.12 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until the Termination Date, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Borrower is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by the Agent with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Agent in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (iv) the insolvency of any Borrower; (v) any election by the Agent in proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of the Agent against any Borrower for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except full payment in cash of all Obligations on the Termination Date.

(b) Waivers.

(i) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Credit Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Borrower, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than full payment of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Borrower, the Credit Parties that the provisions of this Section 2.12 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Credit Parties would decline to make Loans. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section 2.12 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(ii) The Credit Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 2.12. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Credit Parties shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that such Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of the Credit Parties to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. The Credit Parties may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Credit Parties but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether the Credit Parties or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 2.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Credit Parties might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.12 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(ii) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 2.12 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.12 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(d) Direct Liability. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(e) Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that the Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. The Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. The Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. The Borrowers acknowledge that the Lender’s willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

(f) Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the full payment in cash of all Obligations on the Termination Date.

(g) Borrower Agent.

(i) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and designates CCP (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Credit Extensions, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Agent.

(ii) Each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Borrower Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to receive statements on account and all other notices from the Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iii) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any Loan Party by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party.

(iv) The Borrower Agent hereby accepts the appointment by each Loan Party hereunder to act as its agent and attorney-in-fact.

(v) The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Party. The Agent may give any notice to or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or Loan Party. The Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a)

Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Loan Parties to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (d) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party shall be required by the Code or other applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Borrowers shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (d) below, (B) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code or other applicable Laws, as the case may be, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions 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 withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Tax Indemnification by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent ,and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) withheld or deducted by the Loan Parties or the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) or paid by the Agent (or the applicable Recipient), as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower Agent or the Agent (or the applicable Recipient), as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent or the Agent (or the applicable Recipient), as the case may be.

(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 Borrowers and the Borrower Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower 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 Borrowers or the Borrower Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Borrower 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 Section 3.01(e) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Agent’s (or the applicable Recipient’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 any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E‑1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E‑2 or Exhibit E‑3, IRS Form W‑9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E‑4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) any such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Borrower Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrower Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent (or the applicable Recipient), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent (or the applicable Recipient), agrees to repay the amount paid over to any Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) in the event the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent (or the applicable Recipient) to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

3.02 [Reserved].

3.03 [Reserved].

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR (One Month) Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Agent or any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

(ii) subject the Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR (One Month) Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Agent or any Lender); or

(iii) impose on the Agent or any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR (One Month) Rate Loans made by the Agent or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Agent or any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR (One Month) Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to the Agent or any Lender of participating in, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Agent or any Lender, the Loan Parties will pay to the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time pursuant to subsection (c) below the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of each Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay the Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Agent to demand, on behalf of the Lenders, compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of the Agent’s or any Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, notifies the Loan Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Agent’s or any Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on LIBOR (One Month) Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as long as the Agent or any Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency Liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR (One Month) Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by the Agent (as determined by the Agent in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Agent shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such additional interest from the Agent. If the Agent fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 [Reserved].

3.06 [Reserved].

3.07 Certificate of Lender. If any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article III, the Agent, on behalf of the Agent, shall deliver to the Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to each Lender hereunder and the basis therefor.

3.08 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive the occurrence of the Termination Date.

7.06 Maintenance of Properties. (a) Maintain, preserve and protect all of its properties (other than insignificant properties) and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) use the standard of care typical in the industry in the operation and maintenance of its facilities.

7.07 Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) Except as provided in clause (b) below, maintain with (i) companies having an A.M. Best Rating of at least “A-” or (ii) financially sound and reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Agent and not Affiliates of the Loan Parties, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business and operating in the same or similar locations or as is required by applicable Law (including, without limitation, workmen’s compensation, public liability, business interruption and property damage insurance), of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

(b) Maintain insurance against Casualty to the Real Estate under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, and malicious mischief. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Agent, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Real Estate on a replacement cost basis, with a deductible amount, if any, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Real Estate, including tenant improvements (excluding excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).

(c) Cause all Casualty policies, including fire and extended coverage policies, maintained with respect to any Collateral (including the Real Estate) to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include (i) a non-contributing mortgagee clause (regarding improvements to real property) and lenders’ loss payable clause (regarding personal property), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, which endorsements or amendments shall provide that the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly to the Agent, (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, Credit Parties or any other Person shall be a co-insurer and (iii) such other provisions as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Credit Parties.

(d) Cause commercial general liability policies to be endorsed to name the Agent as an additional insured; and cause business interruption policies to name the Agent as a loss payee and to be endorsed or amended to include (i) a provision that, from and after the Closing Date, the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly to the Agent, (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, the Agent or any other party shall be a co‑insurer and (iii) such other provisions as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Credit Parties.

(e) Cause each such policy referred to in this Section 7.07 to also provide that it shall not be canceled, or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent (giving the Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent.

(f) Deliver to the Agent, prior to the cancellation, or non‑renewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy or insurance certificate (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Agent, including an insurance binder) together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of payment of the premium then due therefor.

(g) Permit any representatives that are designated by the Agent to inspect the insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and to inspect books and records related thereto and any properties covered thereby. The Loan Parties shall pay the reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any representatives retained by the Agent to conduct any such inspection; provide that the Borrowers shall only be obligated to pay such fees and expenses for one (1) such inspection during any twelve (12) month period (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).

(h) None of the Credit Parties, or their agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 7.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Credit Parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Credit Party or its agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Credit Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the any Credit Party under this Section 7.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

(i) The Agent is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or any Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Event of Loss, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. In such case, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any and all of its expenses incurred at any time incurred in connection therewith. However, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrowers are diligently pursuing their rights and remedies with respect to any claim arising from such Event of Loss, the Agent will obtain the Borrower Agent’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such claim. Each Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each such claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each such claim subject to the Agent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by the Agent of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, any Real Estate shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of a Mortgage, the Agent shall have the right to receive such funds. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to a Borrower, that Borrower shall receive the same in trust for the Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, within five (5) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, such Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to the Agent in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to the Agent. Each Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of the Agent, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by the Agent to confirm the grant and assignment to Agent of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

7.08 Utilization of Net Proceeds.

(a) Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Event of Loss with respect to any Real Estate must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of such Real Estate. Net Cash Proceeds may be utilized for the restoration of such Real Estate only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of the Agent (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the improvements on such Real Estate, (ii) the Net Cash Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with the Agent for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved by the Agent, (iii) the restoration can be completed prior to the Maturity Date and prior to the date required by any purchase and sale agreement or by any Lease, and (iv) following restoration, such Real Estate will have a fair market value at least equal to its fair market value immediately prior to the Event of Loss. Otherwise, Net Cash Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations in such order and in such proportions as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.

(b) If Net Cash Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of such Real Estate, (i) the Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, promptly commence and diligently and continuously perform to completion the restoration in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Laws and the requirements of the Permitted Liens, whether or not the Borrowers shall have satisfied the requirements of this Section 7.08 in order to cause the Net Cash Proceeds to be made available for such restoration and whether or not such insurance proceeds on account of the Casualty shall be sufficient for such purpose, and (ii) the Net Cash Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with the Agent for that purpose, must be deposited in an account maintained by the First Lien Agent that is subject to a Control Agreement or, upon Payment in Full of First Lien Priority Debt, in an account maintained by the Agent that is subject to a Control Agreement, solely for the purposes described in this Section 7.08 (“Borrower’s Deposit Account”), which shall be a non-interest-bearing account. Subject to the terms of Section 4.08 and this Section 7.08, the Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but the Agent shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Prior to the advance by the Agent of any funds so deposited and the commencement of such restoration, the Borrowers shall take all steps necessary to avoid the imposition of any mechanics’ liens on the Real Estate or the improvements thereon. Thereafter, the Agent will advance the deposited funds from time to time to the Borrowers for the payment of costs of restoration of the Real Estate upon presentation of evidence by the Borrowers acceptable to the Agent that such portion of the restoration has been completed satisfactorily and Lien-free. If at any time the Agent reasonably determines that there is a deficiency in the funds available in the Borrower’s Deposit Account to complete the restoration as contemplated, then the Borrowers shall promptly deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account additional funds equal to the amount of the deficiency. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account.

(c) Each Borrower grants to Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties, a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the UCC, and the Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as the Agent shall deem appropriate, including in the name of the Agent. Each Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent of the Agent its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section 7.08; provided, however, the Agent shall not exercise such power (other than the power to open the Borrower’s Deposit Account) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. To the extent permitted by Law, each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

7.09 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws (including without limitation all applicable Environmental Laws) and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being Properly Contested; or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.10 Books and Records. (a) Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments consistent with historical practices) consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (b) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over any Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

7.11 Inspection Rights and Appraisals; Meetings with the Agent and Lenders.

(a) Permit the Agent, at its expense except as provided in Sections 7.11(b), 7.11(c) or 7.11(d), on behalf of each of the Lenders, or its designees or representatives from time to time, subject to reasonable notice and normal business hours (except, in each case, when a Default exists), to conduct Field Exams, not to exceed two (2) Field Exams during any twelve (12) month period, excluding those initiated when a Default exists, and/or appraisals of Inventory (limited to one such appraisal during any twelve (12) month period, excluding those initiated when a Default exists) and to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and Auditors; provided that representatives of the Borrower Agent shall be given the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Auditors. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any duty to any Loan Party to share any results of any Field Exam with any Loan Party. Appraisals may be shared with the Borrower Agent upon request. The Loan Parties acknowledge that all Field Exams, appraisals and reports are prepared by or for the Agent and/or the Lenders for their purposes, and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to rely upon them.

(b) If a Field Exam is initiated during a Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by the Loan Parties.

(c) If an Inventory appraisal is initiated during a Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by the Loan Parties.

(d) If a Real Estate and Equipment appraisal is initiated by the Agent during a Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by the Loan Parties.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties will participate and will cause their key management personnel to participate in meetings with the Agent and each Lender periodically during each year, which meetings shall be held at such times and such places as may be reasonably requested by the Agent.

7.12 Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of (i) the Credit Extensions (a) to finance a portion of the acquisition under the Centrex Acquisition Documents, (b) to pay costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions, and (c) for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document, it being agreed and understood that all proceeds of the Existing Term Loan received by the Company, if any, shall be contributed to CCP (including for purposes of consummating the Centrex Acquisition Documents on the Closing Date) and the excess, if any, to other Subsidiaries of the Company that are Borrowers (provided, further, that any such proceeds received by FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, shall be contributed to Fort Xxxxx Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation), (ii) the Third Amendment Priority Term Loan A for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document, and (iii) the Fourth Amendment Priority Term Loan A (a) to reduce outstandings under the revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement to provide the Borrowers with sufficient liquidity, (b) to make payments for certain past-due vendor payables in amounts and (c) any costs, expenses, and all other payment amounts related to the Fourth Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c) require that the Borrowers cash collateralize any Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable in amount determined by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement; and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or the equivalent under any other Debtor Relief Law, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Agent or any Lender.

No remedy herein is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of Law.

9.03 License. The Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non‑exclusive license or other right to use, license of sub‑license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of Loan Parties, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other property or asset, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral provided that the Agent shall not exercise any such right unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Loan Party’s rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties.

9.04 Limitation of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any enforceable term of any promissory note, contract, agreement, permit, lease, license (including any licenses of any Intellectual Property) or other General Intangible included as a part of the Collateral, other than Accounts, requires the consent of the Person obligated on such promissory note or any Person (other than the applicable obligor) obligated on such lease, contract or agreement, or which has issued such permit or license or other General Intangible, other than Accounts, for the assignment or transfer thereof or the enforcement of such Lien not to give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination or other material remedy thereunder, then the receipt of any such necessary consent shall be a condition to any exercise of remedies against such Collateral under this Section 9.04 (but not to the creation, attachment or perfection of the Lien of the Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties as provided herein).

9.05 Joint and Several. Each obligation and liability of each Borrower to the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the Obligations, are the joint and several obligations of each Borrower, and the Credit Parties may proceed directly against any Borrower, or all Borrowers, or any Guarantor, or any Collateral, or all of the foregoing, or any one of the foregoing or any combination of the foregoing, without first proceeding against Borrower or any Collateral, or without joining all Persons liable or potentially liable for any portion of the Obligations in one action. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable as primary obligor and not merely as surety for repayment of all Obligations arising under the Loan Documents. Such joint and several liability shall apply to each Borrower regardless of whether any Loan was only requested by or on behalf of or made to any other Borrower or the proceeds of any Loan were used only by or on behalf of any other Borrower or any indemnification obligation or any other obligation arose only as a result of the action of any other Borrower. If any Borrower makes a payment in respect of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, it shall have the rights of contribution described in this Section below and under applicable common law against the other Borrower or Borrowers; provided that such Borrower shall not exercise its right of contribution until all of the Obligations are Paid in Full; provided, however, that Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, is hereby granted a Lien in such right of contribution and may enforce such right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of Event of Default. It is the intent of each Borrower and Lender that each Borrower’s maximum obligation to repay the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (the “Loan Obligation Limit”) shall not exceed the greater of (i) the amount actually borrowed or received directly or indirectly by such Borrower with respect thereto and (ii) the amount which is $1.00 less than the amount which, if recorded by such Borrower as a liability, would render such Borrower not Solvent. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment on any of the Obligations (a “Loan Obligation Payment”), such Borrower (the “Entitled Borrower”) is entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and reimbursement by, each other Borrower (a “Contributing Borrower”) in the amount of the Contribution Obligation of such Contributing Borrower hereunder. The “Contribution Obligation” of a Contributing Borrower with respect to the Loan Obligation Payment of an Entitled Borrower is an amount equal to the greater of (1) the lesser of (x) such Contributing Borrower’s Loan Obligation Limit at the time the Loan Obligation Payment is made and (y) such Contributing Borrower’s Allocable Share of the Loan Obligation Payment, and (2) the amount of all proceeds from the Obligations actually received by such Contributing Borrower or applied by the recipient thereof directly or indirectly for the benefit of such Contributing Borrower, less the sum of any repayments thereof and any Loan Obligation Payments made by such Contributing Borrower prior to the time the applicable Loan Obligation Payment is made. The “Allocable Share” of a Contributing Borrower is a fraction, the numerator of which is such Contributing Borrower’s Loan Obligation Limit at the time the applicable Loan Obligation Payment is made and the denominator of which is the sum of the Loan Obligation Limits of all of the Contributing Borrowers (plus a similarly computed amount for any Guarantor which has a similar obligation to make a contribution) as of such time.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints VPM to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including the Intercreditor Agreement) and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof (including, without limitation, acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations), together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the terms “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties

10.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 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 the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of 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 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 the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief 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 the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Agent shall not 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 the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Loan Parties or a Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders. Unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that the Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) 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 or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created hereunder, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

10.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, 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 authenticated by the proper Person. The 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 the Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Term Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), 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.

10.05 Delegation of Duties. The 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-agent appointed by the Agent. The 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 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

10.06 Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed), (2) the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Register to the Borrower Agent and (3) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the 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 10.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring 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 10.06). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agent and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent hereunder.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other 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 the 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. Except as provided in Section 10.06, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agent.

10.08 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, 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 Term Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Agent and the other Credit Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Agent and such Credit Parties under Sections 2.08 and11.04) 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 Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.08 and11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the 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 the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Agent, as set forth above, the Agent is hereby authorized to act as collateral agent for each Credit Party pursuant to each of the Loan Documents. In such capacity, the Agent has the right to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall include, in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any portion of the Collateral, whether pursuant to a public or private sale, the right of the Agent, as agent for all Credit Parties, to be, or form an acquisition entity to be, the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale. The Agent, as agent for all Credit Parties, shall be entitled, at any such sale to offset any of the Obligations against the purchase price payable by the Agent (or such acquisition entity) at such sale or to otherwise consent to a reduction of the Obligations as consideration to the applicable Loan Party in connection with such sale. The Agent shall have the authority to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or desirable to consummate a sale of the type described in the immediately preceding sentences. The Agent shall have the authority to accept non-cash consideration in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, whether the purchaser is the Agent, an entity formed by the Agent as described above or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Agent, as set forth above, in the context of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any Loan Party, the Agent is hereby authorized to: (i) file proofs of claim and other documents on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with this paragraph, (ii) object or consent to the use of cash collateral, (iii) object or consent to any proposed debtor-in-possession financing, whether provided by one or more of the Credit Parties or any other Person and whether secured by Liens with priority over the Liens securing the Obligations or otherwise, (iv) object or consent to any sale of Collateral, including sales for non-cash consideration in satisfaction of a portion of the Obligations, (v) to be, or form an acquisition entity to be, the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale under clause (iv) and to offset any of the Obligations against the purchase price payable by the Agent (or such acquisition entity) at such sale or to otherwise consent to a reduction of the Obligations as consideration to the applicable Loan Party in connection with such sale, and (vi) seek, object or consent to any Loan Party's provision of adequate protection of the interests of the Lenders in the Collateral.

10.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) is required under the Intercreditor Agreement or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to (i) the Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent securing First Lien Priority Debt pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 8.02(a)(i) and (e) hereof; and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the 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 a Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.09. In each case as specified in this Section 10.09, the Agent will, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the security interest granted hereunder or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.09.

10.10 Notice of Transfer. The Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Assumption shall have become effective as set forth in Section 11.06.

10.11 Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all information, reports, financial statements, and other materials required to be delivered by the Borrowers hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agent (collectively, the “Reports”);

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information, reports, financial statements or other materials, and shall not be liable for any information contained in any such materials (including any Report);

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other materials confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07 hereof; and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with the Term Loan that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a portion of the Term Loan; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

10.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.

10.13 Indemnification of Agent. Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, the Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agent and any Related Party, as the case may be, ratably according to each Lender’s portion of the Term Loan, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent and its Related Parties in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s and its Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

10.14 Intercreditor Agreement; Subordination Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Obligations, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.14). Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Obligations. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to issue blockages notices in connection with any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Obligations.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Borrowers or the applicable Borrower, as the case may be. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Seller-Related Lender shall have any voting rights, rights to approve or disapprove any waiver, rights in respect of acceleration or any other consent rights or otherwise constitute a “Lender” or a holder or owner of a portion of any Loan (or be included in the calculation of holders of Loans holding a majority of, or all of, the Loans or determining “Required Lenders”) with respect to (A) any waiver, amendment, consent or other modification relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (B) the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or any other Loan Document; provided that no waiver, consent, amendment or modification shall be effective against any Seller-Related Lender without such Seller-Related Lender’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent it would (x) result in such Seller-Related Lender (in its capacity as a holder of a portion of a Loan) being treated adversely in a disproportionate and direct manner relative to the Lenders not constituting Seller-Related Lenders and/or (y) alter the pro rata treatment of principal and interest payments due to the Lenders; provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall continue to apply in the context of any insolvency proceeding. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any insolvency proceeding of any Credit Party, any vote or consent that any Seller-Related Lender may otherwise have been entitled to cast or give solely as a Lender, including but not limited to, any vote under 11 U.S.C. §1126, shall be deemed, and hereby is, assigned for all purposes to the Agent, who shall cast such vote in the same proportion as those cast by the Lenders not constituting Seller-Related Lenders and give, or refrain from giving, such consent at the direction of the Required Lenders (determined without reference to the Seller-Related Lenders or their portion of the Term Loan). Upon the request by the Agent, each Seller-Related Lender shall execute a power of attorney in favor of the Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, for purposes of authorizing the Agent to act in accordance with the foregoing. In addition: (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Seller-Related Lender shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Agent or any other Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited or (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Agent or any other Lender or any communication by or among the Agent and/or one or more other Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or any representative of any Loan Party; (ii) for purposes of effectuating the terms of this Section 11.01, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all such Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, each Seller-Related Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by the Lenders who are not Seller-Related Lenders; and (iii) each Seller-Related Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees that, if any Loan Party shall be subject to any insolvency proceeding, (A) such Seller-Related Lender shall not take any step or action in such insolvency proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Agent) in relation to such Seller-Related Lender’s claim with respect to its portion of the Term Loan or in its capacity as a Lender (including, without limitation, objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Seller-Related Lender is treated in connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the Lenders that do not constitute Seller-Related Lenders, (B) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of any such insolvency proceeding (including voting on any plan of reorganization pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §1126), the portion of the Term Loan owned or held by such Seller-Related Lender (and any claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed assigned for all purposes to the Agent, which shall cast such vote in accordance with this Section 11.01, and (C) such Seller-Related Lender shall otherwise give or refrain from giving any consent in any such insolvency proceeding at the direction of the Required Lenders or the Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders, the Agent and each Seller-Related Lender agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Section 11.01 in respect of such Seller-Related Lender constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Credit Party has filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Credit Parties 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.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lenders.

101

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) In any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.06, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan 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 Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment other than (x) the consent of the Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of the Term Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender and (y) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of the Borrowers shall be required if such assignment is to a Competitor.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06, 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, 3.04and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Term 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 in accordance with Section 11.06(d).

102

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts and interest of the Term Loan (and any Term Note) 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 Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any assignment or other transfer in whole or in part of interests in this Agreement or the Term Loan (or Term Note) shall be effective only by registration in the Register. The appointment of a Registrar and maintenance of a Register is intended to result in this Agreement and the Term Loan (and Term Note) being at all times in “registered form” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.871-14(c) and Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith. To avoid any doubt, the provisions of this Sections 11.06(c) and 11.06(d) shall apply to any Term Note (to the same extent applicable to a Term Loan) and to any transfer, assignment or participation of rights thereunder.

(d) Participations. The Lenders may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower sell participations to any Person (other than, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to a Competitor without the prior written consent of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lenders’ rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lenders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lenders shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) no Participant shall be granted any right to consent to any amendment, except to the extent any of the same pertain to (1) reducing the aggregate principal amount of, or interest rate on, or fees applicable to, any Loan or (2) extending the final stated maturity of any Loan or the stated maturity of any portion of any payment of principal of, or interest of fees applicable to, any of the Loans; provided that the rights described in this subclause (2) shall not be deemed to include the right to consent to any amendment with respect to or which has the effect of requiring any mandatory prepayment of any portion of any Loan or any amendment or waiver of any Default.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to subsection (c) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were such Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were such Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than a Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Agent’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Agent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(g) as though it were a Lender.

103

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors 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 instructed to keep such Information confidential), (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), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Agent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to a Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, any information not marked “PUBLIC” at the time of delivery will be deemed to be confidential; provided, that any information marked “PUBLIC may also be marked “Confidential”. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, 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 Federal and state securities Laws.

Each of the Loan Parties hereby authorize the Agent to publish the name of any Loan Party and the amount of the credit facility provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable advertisement which the Agent elects to publish. The Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

11.08 Right of Setoff. At any time during an Event of Default, with the consent of the Agent, each Credit Party and its Affiliates are authorized, 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, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Credit Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against any Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Credit Party or such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of such Credit Party and each such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.

104

11.09 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 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 Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any 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.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. 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.

11.11 Survival. 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 Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied shall remain outstanding.

Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Credit Parties may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked.

11.12 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.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY 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. 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.
