The Revolving Credit Loans comprising any Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments) and the

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank may in its discretion make swing line loans (the “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time until the Termination Date or until the Swing Line Commitment is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof in the aggregate up to the amount of the Swing Line Commitment for periods requested by the Borrower and agreed to by the Swing Line Bank; provided, that, no Swing Line Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to the making of such Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, the Total Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment.

Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, on such Swing Line Repayment Date that the Borrower intends to repay such Swing Line Loan with funds other than the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given notice to the Agent requesting the Banks to make a Revolving Credit Loan which shall be a Base Rate Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.1 on the Swing Line Repayment Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan plus interest thereon, and (A) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.2, the Banks shall, on the Swing Line Repayment Date, make a Revolving Credit Loan which shall be a Base Rate Borrowing, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan plus interest thereon, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Agent to repay the Swing Line Bank for such Swing Line Loan plus accrued interest thereon; and provided, further, that if for any reason the proceeds of such Base Rate Borrowing are not received by the Swing Line Bank on the Swing Line Repayment Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan plus accrued interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Swing Line Bank on the day immediately following the Swing Line Repayment Date, in same day funds, in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of such Swing Line Loan over the aggregate amount of such Base Rate Borrowing, if any, received plus accrued interest thereon.

(f)In the event that the Borrower shall fail to repay the Swing Line Bank as provided in Section 2.2(e) in an amount equal to the amount required under Section 2.2(e), the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan and of such Bank’s respective participation therein in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan.

In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such unpaid amount as provided herein, the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for each day during the period between the Swing Line Repayment Date and the date on which such Bank makes available its participation in such unpaid amount. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Agent its pro rata

DMEAST #27397236 v4

share of such unpaid amount on the Swing Line Repayment Date. The Agent shall distribute to each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.2(f) with respect to the unpaid amount of any Swing Line Loan, such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of all payments received by the Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such Swing Line Loan when such payments are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.2(f) shall have a direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrower subject to the procedures for repaying Banks set forth in this Section 2.2.

(g)In the event the Commitments are terminated in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof, the Swing Line Commitment shall also be terminated automatically. In the event the Borrower reduces the Total Commitment to less than the Swing Line Commitment, the Swing Line Commitment shall immediately be reduced to an amount equal to the Total Commitment. In the event the Borrower reduces the Total Commitment to less than the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount by which the outstanding Swing Line Loans exceed the Swing Line Commitment as so reduced plus accrued interest thereon.

(h)At no time shall there be more than two outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(i)Each Swing Line Loan shall be in an original principal amount of $100,000 or multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof.

(j)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swing Line Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon prior written, telecopy or telephonic notice to the Swing Line Bank given no later than 1:00 p.m., Philadelphia time, on the date of any proposed prepayment.

Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)The Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing with any other Borrowing, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement. Any Borrowing or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.5 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing, to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being refinanced, shall not be paid by the Banks to the Agent or by the Agent to the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) if the principal amount extended by a Bank in a refinancing is greater than the principal amount extended by such Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced, then such Bank shall pay such difference to the Agent for distribution to the Banks described in (ii) below, (ii) if the principal amount extended by a Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater than the principal amount agreed to be extended by such Bank in the refinancing, the Agent shall return the difference to such Bank out of amounts received pursuant to (i) above, and (iii) to the extent any Bank fails to pay the Agent amounts due from it pursuant to (i) above, any Revolving Credit Loan or portion thereof being refinanced with such amounts shall not be deemed repaid in accordance with Section 2.5 and shall be payable by the Borrower without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights against any such Bank.

(c)Each Bank may at its option fulfill its commitment hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided, however, that (A) any exercise of such

DMEAST #27397236 v4

option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the applicable Note and (B) the Borrower shall not be liable for increased costs under Sections 2.11 or 2.12 to the extent that (x) such costs could be avoided by the use of a different branch or Affiliate to make Eurodollar Loans and (y) such use would not, in the judgment of such Bank, entail any significant additional expense for which such Bank shall not be indemnified hereunder or otherwise be disadvantageous to it; and

(d)All Borrowings, conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections that, after giving effect thereto, (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising each Tranche of Eurodollar Loans shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (B) the Borrower shall not have outstanding at any one time more than in the aggregate five (5) separate Tranches of Eurodollar Loans.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date.

2.4Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the fees at the times and in the amounts as are set forth in the Fee Letter (collectively, the “Fees”).

(b)All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

2.5Revolving Credit Notes; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Credit Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower, dated the Closing Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to such Bank in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Bank. Each Revolving Credit Note shall bear interest from the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.6. Each Bank shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the schedule attached to the relevant Revolving Credit Note held by such Bank (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to each such Revolving Credit Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Bank’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Bank, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Credit Loan, and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make such a notation or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Bank in accordance with the terms of the relevant Revolving Credit Note. The outstanding principal balance of each Revolving Credit Loan, as evidenced by the relevant Revolving Credit Note, shall be payable on the Termination Date.

DMEAST #27397236 v4

2.6Interest on Revolving Credit Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.

(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus sixty-five (65) basis points (0.65%).

(c)Interest on each Revolving Credit Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan; provided that, interest accruing on overdue amounts pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be payable on demand as provided in the Revolving Credit Notes. The Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent error.

2.7Default Rate; Additional Interest; Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) To the extent not contrary to any Requirement of Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any principal, past due interest, fee or other amount outstanding hereunder shall, at the option of the Required Banks, bear interest for each day thereafter until paid in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to two percent (2%) above the Base Rate (but in no event shall any such rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by any Requirement of Law). The Borrower acknowledges that such increased interest rate reflects, among other things, the fact that such loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk.

(b)In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Agent shall have determined (which determination absent manifest error shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that dollar deposits in the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank Market, or that the rate at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, telegraphic or telephonic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Banks, and any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Loan or for conversion to or maintenance of a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan. After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request for a Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.8Termination, Reduction, Extension of Commitments; Additional Banks. (a) The Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Termination Date.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at

DMEAST #27397236 v4

any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Total Commitment. Each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or in whole multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and no such termination or reduction shall be made which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

(c) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In connection with any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall make any prepayment required under subsection 2.9(b).

(d) During the period beginning ninety days prior to the Termination Date then in effect and ending sixty days prior to such Termination Date, the Borrower may deliver to the Agent (which shall promptly transmit to each Bank) a notice requesting that the Commitments be extended for a 364 day period beyond the Termination Date then in effect. Within thirty days after its receipt of any such notice, each Bank shall notify the Agent of its willingness or unwillingness so to extend its Commitment. Any Bank that shall fail so to notify the Agent within such period shall be deemed to have declined to extend its Commitment. If each (but only if each) Bank agrees to extend its Commitment, the Agent shall so notify the Company and each Bank, whereupon (i) the respective Commitments of the Banks shall without further act by any party hereto, be extended for a 364 day period beyond the Termination Date then in effect and (ii) the term “Termination Date” shall thereafter mean the last day of such period. Any such extension shall be evidenced by a written agreement among the Agent, the Banks and the Borrower, such agreement to be in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, the Banks and the Borrower. In the event that one or more Banks (each a “Non‑Electing Bank”) shall have declined or been deemed to have declined to extend its or their Commitment and Banks holding a majority in amount of the Commitments shall have notified the Agent of their desire to extend their Commitments, the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to each such Non‑Electing Bank and the Agent, to replace all (but not less than all) such Non‑Electing Banks (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6) at any time before the twentieth (20th) day prior to the Termination Date with one or more assignees (each a “Replacement Bank”) willing to purchase the Non‑Electing Banks’ interests hereunder and to agree to extend its or their Commitment in accordance with the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (d). In such event, each Non‑Electing Bank shall promptly upon request transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to the applicable Replacement Bank; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the applicable Replacement Bank shall pay to the applicable Non‑Electing Bank in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Non-Electing Bank hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Non-Electing Bank’s account or owed to it hereunder (including any unpaid costs or expenses), and (iii) a Non‑Electing Bank shall not be required to sell its interests hereunder unless the Borrower has arranged for one or more Replacement Banks to acquire the interests of all other Non‑Electing Banks. If, as a result of the foregoing, each Bank (including Replacement Banks, but excluding Non‑Electing Banks whose interests have been purchased as provided above) has agreed to extend its Commitment, the

DMEAST #27397236 v4

Commitments shall be extended as provided in clause (i) of the fourth sentence of this paragraph and the term Termination Date shall have the meaning set forth in clause (ii) in such fourth sentence of this clause (d).

(e) Any bank or financial institution becoming a party to this Agreement in compliance with the provisions of subsection 2.8(d) hereof shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Banks and the Borrower a joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such joinder such additional bank or financial institution shall be a party hereto and one of the Banks hereunder for all purposes, all as of the date of such joinder. Simultaneously therewith the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such additional Bank an additional Note to the order of such additional Bank in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by such additional Bank.

2.9Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but in any event subject to Section 2.13), upon prior written, telecopy or telephonic notice to the Agent given no later than 11:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, one Business Day before any proposed prepayment; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in the principal amount of at least $500,000 or in whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and each such partial prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing shall be in the principal amount of at least $250,000 or in whole multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof.

(b)On the date of any termination or reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 2.8, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding will not exceed the Total Commitment after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(c)Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein. All prepayments under this Section on other than Base Rate Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

2.10Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert or refinance Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

DMEAST #27397236 v4

2.11Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Change in Law shall:

(i)subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.12 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by any Bank);

(ii)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, any Bank (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or

(iii)impose on any Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by such Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Bank, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Bank, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for any such amounts incurred or suffered by such Bank more than 180 days prior to the date of such Bank’s notification to the Borrower. If any Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall as promptly as practicable notify the Borrower, through the Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate explaining and detailing any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. If any such amount paid by the Borrower to such Bank is subsequently determined not to have been due and is refunded to such Bank, such Bank will reimburse the Borrower for amounts paid in respect of such refunded amount. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)If any Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or any lending office of such Bank or such Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Swing Loans held by, such Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or such Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Bank, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. If any Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall as promptly as practicable notify the Borrower, through the Agent, of the

DMEAST #27397236 v4

event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate explaining and detailing any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c)Each Bank agrees that it will use reasonable efforts in order to avoid or to minimize, as the case may be, the payment by the Borrower of any additional amount under subsections 2.11(a) and (b); provided, however, that no Bank shall be obligated to incur any expense, cost or other amount in connection with utilizing such reasonable efforts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11, no Bank shall apply the provisions of subsections 2.11(a) or (b) hereof with respect to the Borrower if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Bank exercising its rights hereunder to apply the provisions similar to those of this Section 2.11 to other borrowers in substantially similar circumstances under substantially comparable provisions of other credit agreements.”

2.12Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (other than Excluded Taxes) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent and each Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law. As used herein, the term “Excluded Taxes” shall mean, with respect to the Agent, any Bank or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Bank, in which its applicable lending office is located, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located and (iii) in the case of a Foreign Bank, any withholding tax (including under FATCA) that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Bank at the time such Foreign Bank becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Bank (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(b)In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document or from

DMEAST #27397236 v4

the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Bank for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this subsection) paid by the Agent or any Bank and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Agent or a Bank makes written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate explaining and detailing any such Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent or such Bank which shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(d)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower, if available, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent and each Bank, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e)If as a result of a payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to subsections 2.12(a), (b) or (c) the Agent or a Bank receives a tax benefit or tax savings such as by receiving a credit against, refund of, or reduction in Taxes or Other Taxes which the Agent or such Bank would not have received but for the payment by the Borrower of such Taxes or Other Taxes, then the Agent or such Bank shall promptly pay to the Borrower the amount of such credit, refund, reduction or any other similar item. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in subsections 2.12(a) through (d) shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

(f)Each Foreign Bank agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each initial Bank and on or prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank and on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection (f), and from time to time, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable; (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms, certifications and supporting statements) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Borrower and the Agent. Such Bank shall certify, in the case of a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable or W-8IMY, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. If a payment made to a Foreign Bank would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by

DMEAST #27397236 v4

FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including any notice described in Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. If any form provided by a Foreign Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in subsection 2.12(a). Each Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, with respect to Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority other than the United States of America, similar forms, if available (or the information that would be contained in similar forms if such forms were available), to the forms which are required to be provided under this subsection with respect to Taxes of the United States of America.

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections 2.12(a) through (e), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Bank in respect of United States withholding or backup withholding tax pursuant to such subsections if (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with the requirements of subsection 2.12(f) (other than by reason of a change in Law) or (ii) such Bank shall not have furnished the Borrower with such forms and documentation described in subsection 2.12(f) and shall not have taken such other steps as reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws and any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such United States withholding tax.

2.13Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (d) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Bank under this Section, each Bank shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan or Swing Line Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate or the applicable rate on such Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period or applicable period for such Eurodollar Loan or Swing Line Loan; provided, however, that each Bank may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans and the Swing Line

DMEAST #27397236 v4

Bank may fund its Swing Line Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section.

2.14Pro Rata Treatment, etc. Except as required under Sections 2.2 and 2.10, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Commitments, each refinancing of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type and each conversion of Loans, shall be made pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Bank agrees that in computing such Bank’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Bank’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

2.15Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder not later than 12:00 (noon), Philadelphia time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Agent at its offices at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, or at such other place as may be designated by the Agent, in immediately available funds.

(b)Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

2.16Conversion and Continuation Options. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Agent (i) not later than 11:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, on the Business Day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, (y) to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or (z) to continue any Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan for any additional Interest Period, and (iii) not later than 11:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(a)a Eurodollar Loan may not be converted at a time other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(b)any portion of a Revolving Credit Loan maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan;

(c)no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such and no Base Rate Loan may be converted to a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(d)any portion of a Eurodollar Loan that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan by reason of paragraph 2.16(b) or 2.16(c) automatically shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Revolving Credit Loan to a Base Rate Loan;

DMEAST #27397236 v4

(e)if by the third Business Day prior to the last day of any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to give notice of conversion or continuation as described in this subsection, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks and such Revolving Credit Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period; and

(f)each request by the Borrower to convert or continue a Revolving Credit Loan shall constitute a representation and warranty that each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein is true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date.

Accrued interest on a Revolving Credit Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion.

2.17Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a)such Defaulting Bank, or the Exposure and Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Bank, as applicable, shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank;

(b)if any outstanding Swing Line Loans exist at the time a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:

(i)such Defaulting Bank’s pro rata portion of such Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Adjusted Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans of all Non-Defaulting Banks plus (B) all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Adjusted Commitment Percentages of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans then outstanding does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Banks and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at such time;

(ii)to the extent that all or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s pro rata portion of Swing Line Loans cannot be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(b)(i), then the Borrower (A) shall, within 15 days following notice from the Agent until such Defaulting Bank ceases to be a Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, establish and, thereafter, maintain a special collateral account (the “Swing Line Collateral Account”) at the Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Section 9.2, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, (B) grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, solely as security for repayment of the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swing Line Loans, a security interest in and to the Swing Line Collateral Account and any funds that may thereafter be deposited therein and (C) shall maintain

DMEAST #27397236 v4

in the Swing Line Collateral Account an amount equal to the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swing Line Loans; and

(iii)the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to, but in its sole discretion may from time to time elect to, fund any Swing Line Loan, unless it is satisfied in its sole discretion that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(b)(ii).

(iv)any amount payable to a Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Swing Line Bank hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Revolving Credit Loan or the funding of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any payments that would be made to the Borrower shall be applied by the Agent to the Obligations in such order as the Agent shall elect and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans for which a Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied, the remaining portion of such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loans of, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Bank.

(v)In the event that the Borrower, the Agent and the Swing Line Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Swing Line Loans of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Banks (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.

The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though it was not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the Banks and the Borrower. If such Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks, which appointment shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of an Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

8.10Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 8 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing their functions and

DMEAST #27397236 v4

duties under this Agreement the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.

8.11USA Patriot Act. (a) Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Bank is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

(b) Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Bank’s, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower, its Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Laws.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof of thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. With the written consent of the Required Banks, the Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the Notes and the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Notes or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the Notes or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall directly or indirectly (a) reduce the amount or extend the maturity of any Note or any installment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any Fees payable to any Bank hereunder, or change the duration or amount of any Bank’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of the Bank affected thereby or (b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definition of Required Banks or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written

consent of all the Banks, (c) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.2 without the written consent of the then Swing Line Bank or (d) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Agent.

In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

9.3No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

9.4Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower shall be given notice of any claim for indemnified liabilities and shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement thereof. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.6Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Agent or the Banks that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Bank.

(b)Each Bank may, in accordance with applicable law, assign to all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment, and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to a Bank or Affiliate thereof, or, with the consent of the Agent and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to one or more banks or other financial institutions, (ii) so long as the Commitments are in effect, the amount of each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except in the case of an assignment by any Bank to one of its Affiliates), (iv) any assignment of the Swing Line Commitment may be made only to a Bank which holds a Commitment hereunder and must be of the entire Swing Line Commitment and (v) each such assignment of Revolving Credit Loans and all or any portion of a Bank’s Commitment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 9.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the

DMEAST #27397236 v4

interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.5 (to the extent that such Bank’s entitlement to such benefits arose out of such Bank’s position as a Bank prior to the applicable assignment)). Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 9.6, after the Commitments and the Swing Line Commitments have been terminated, any Bank may assign all or any portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person (whether or not an entity described in clause (i) above).

(c)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Bank warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby, free and clear of any adverse claim, and that its Commitment and/or the Swing Line Commitment, as the case may be, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(d)The Agent shall maintain at its offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment and/or the Swing Line Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of error and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be

DMEAST #27397236 v4

available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee together with the Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, the Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. Within five Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered original Note(s), (x) a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, a new Swing Line Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Swing Line Commitment and, (y) if the assigning Bank has retained a Commitment, a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of such assigning Bank in a principal amount equal to the applicable Commitment retained by it. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes; such new Notes shall be dated the date of the surrendered Notes which they replace and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 hereto, as appropriate. Canceled Notes shall be returned to the Borrower.

(f)Each Bank may without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or Swing Line Commitment and the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code such Bank shall be, to the extent permitted by law, the sole representative with respect to the obligations held in the name of such Bank whether for its own account or for the account of any Participant and (vi) such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Note or Notes held by such Bank other than any such amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest and which is described in subsection 9.1(a) hereof. Each Bank that sells a participation will, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Credit Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank has any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.l03 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register are conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank must treat each Person

DMEAST #27397236 v4

whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent has no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register for any other Bank.

(g)If amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or any Note, provided that in purchasing such participation such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Banks the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.8. The Borrower also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the Bank selling the participation would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(h)If any Participant is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the Bank selling the participation, concurrently with the sale of a participating interest to such Participant, shall cause such Participant (i) to represent to the Bank selling the participation (for the benefit of such Bank, the other Banks, the Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the Borrower or the Bank selling the participation with respect to any payments to be made to such Participant in respect of its participation in the Loans and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of such Bank, the other Banks, the Agent and Borrower) that it will deliver the tax forms and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.12 and comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with respect to withholding tax exemptions.

(i)Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Notes issued to it to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

9.7Confidentiality. The Banks agree that they will maintain all information and financial statements provided to them or otherwise obtained by them with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries confidential and that they will not disclose the same or use it for any purposes; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Bank from disclosing any such information (a) to the Agent or any other Bank, (b) to any prospective assignee or participant in connection with any assignment or participation of Loans permitted by this Agreement, (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisers, provided that any such person is advised by such Bank that such information is subject to the confidentiality limitations of this Section, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Bank, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, provided that the Borrower has (unless prohibited by the terms of any such order or requirement) been advised at least ten (10) days (or if such is not possible or practicable, such lesser number

DMEAST #27397236 v4

of days as is possible or practicable under the circumstances) prior to such disclosure of the existence of such order or requirement, (f) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, or (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under the Notes.

9.8Adjustments; Set‑off. (a) If any Bank (a “benefited Bank”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set‑off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 7(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect of such other Bank’s Loans, or interest thereon, being paid in respect of Loans being repaid simultaneously therewith or Loans required hereby to be paid proportionately such benefited Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks such portion of each such other Bank’s Loan, or shall provide such other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank’s Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set‑off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Bank were the direct holder of such portion.

(b)In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set‑off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set‑off and application made by such Bank, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‑off and application.

9.9Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and each of the Banks.

9.10Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

DMEAST #27397236 v4

9.11Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Agent or any Bank relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the Notes or the other Loan Documents.

(d)agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction.
