The Total Credit Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit up to the Availability, as described in Section 2.2.

2.2 Revolving Loans.

(a) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section Six and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon Xxxxxxxxx’ request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof to the Maturity Date, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrowers, in amounts not to exceed (except for Xxxxx Fargo with respect to Non-Ratable Loans and except for the Agent with respect to Agent Advances) such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Availability. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make Revolving Loans in excess of the Availability on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Total Credit Facility or the Availability or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion, subject to the Agent’s authority, in its discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(i).

(c) Reliance upon Authority. Prior to any change with respect to any of the information contained in the following clauses (i) and (ii), Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a writing setting forth (i) the account of Borrowers to which Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested pursuant to this Section 2.2, and (ii) the names of the Persons authorized to request Revolving Loans on behalf of Borrowers, and shall provide Agent with a specimen signature of each such Person.

(e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable and Borrowers shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

(f) Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) to request Xxxxx Fargo to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(h) in the amount of the requested Borrowing; provided, however, that if Xxxxx Fargo declines in its discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(h), Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing.

Each Lender shall make the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Revolving Loans received by Agent to the account of Borrowers designated in writing by Borrowers; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall in no event exceed the Excess Availability on such date.

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice by Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 2.23.

(h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans.

(i) In the event Agent shall elect to have the terms of this Section 2.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.2(f), Xxxxx Fargo as Lender shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan made solely by Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to this Section 2.2(h) being referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan” and such Revolving Loans being referred to collectively as “Non-Ratable Loans”) available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring same day funds to an account of Borrowers, designated in writing by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent. Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Xxxxx Fargo solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Revolving Loan). Agent shall not request Xxxxx Fargo to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (A) Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Excess Availability on such Funding Date. Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the Excess Availability on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its discretion, a request that Xxxxx Fargo fund any Non-Ratable Loan.

- 40 -

(ii) The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans from time to time.

(i) Agent Advances.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos contained in this Section 2.2(i)(i) and the limitation set forth in the penultimate paragraph of Section 11.1, Agent is hereby authorized by Xxxxxxxxx and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s discretion, (A) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have not been satisfied, to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Revolving Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 13.1 (any of the advances described in this Section 2.2(i)(i) being hereinafter referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, however, that Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 2.2(i) to make Agent Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof; provided further, however, that (a) if the Pro Rata Share of the Required Lenders revoking such authorization does not exceed fifty-one percent (51%), such revocation shall become effective 120 days after Agent’s receipt thereof, or (b) if the Default or Event of Default would require consent of all Lenders to waive or amend, such authorization may be revoked by any Lender effective 120 days after Agent’s receipt thereof; and provided further, however, that no such Agent Advance shall cause the Credit Facility Exposure (including such Agent Advance) to exceed the Total Credit Facility.

(ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans from time to time. Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each such Agent Advance.

- 41 -

(j) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by Lenders to be equal at all times to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, Agent, Xxxxx Fargo and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (A) on behalf of Xxxxx Fargo, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 12:00 p.m., noon (New York, New York time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than Xxxxx Fargo in the case of Non-Ratable Loans, and Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall make the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing Xxxxx Fargo’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, Agent shall (A) on behalf of Xxxxx Fargo, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from Xxxxx Fargo or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Xxxxx Fargo or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to Xxxxx Fargo or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by any Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Revolving Loans.

- 42 -

(iii) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (ii) preceding, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance.

(iv) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to Xxxxx Fargo any payments received by Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to Xxxxx Fargo’s Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Xxxxx Fargo’s Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to Section 2.2(j)(ii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, Xxxxx Fargo shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, Xxxxx Fargo with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by Wells Fargo, Agent and the other Lenders.

(k) Notation. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the Non-Ratable Loans owing to Xxxxx Fargo, and the Agent Advances owing to Agent, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Loans in its books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

(l) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by Xxxxxxx simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

(m) Revolving Loans under Original Loan Agreement. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (i) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans under the Original Loan Agreement equaled $384,064,872.99 and that such Revolving Loans are continued as Revolving Loans hereunder, and (ii) there are no Letters of Credit outstanding under the Original Loan Agreement. All Commitments (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) under the Original Loan Agreement shall hereinafter be assigned or re-allocated among the Commitments hereunder, and after giving effect hereto, the percentages of the Commitments are as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in order to effect the continuation of the outstanding Revolving Loans contemplated by the preceding sentence, the amount to be funded on the Closing Date by each Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitments shall be reduced by the principal amount of such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Loans under the Original Loan Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date.

- 43 -

2.3 Books and Records; Monthly Statements. Each Borrower agrees that Agent’s and each Xxxxxx’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. Agent will provide to Borrowers a monthly statement of the Letters of Credit and Revolving Loans, and interest and fees accruing hereunder, and payments and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Loans. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on Borrowers and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 2.4 and corrections of errors discovered by Agent), unless Borrowers notify Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by Borrowers, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by Borrowers.

2.4 Apportionment Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the full amount thereof to Agent for application pursuant to this Agreement and it shall provide a written statement to Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall set off against a deposit account of a Borrower or Guarantor without Agent’s prior written consent. All payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments received by Agent after acceleration of the Obligations prior to the Maturity Date or the failure of the Borrowers to Pay in Full the Obligations on the Maturity Date, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in each case shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements (excluding, however, any such amounts relating to Bank Products) then due and payable under the Loan Documents to Agent from Borrowers (and all Non-Ratable Loans, Agent Advances, and other Revolving Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund); second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due and payable under the Loan Documents to Lenders from the Borrowers; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Revolving Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; and sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation (including any amounts relating to Bank Products) due and payable under the Loan Documents to Agent or any Lender by Borrowers. Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided for in Section 2.2(j). Agent and Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

- 44 -

2.5 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations and undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (to the extent not prohibited by law) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to LIBOR or Term SOFR, as applicable, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate described in Section 2.7. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations and undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin through and including September 30, 2022 and (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin at all times thereafter. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest accrued on all Revolving Loans will be payable in arrears on the first day of each month for the previous calendar month and on the Maturity Date and each Borrower expressly authorizes Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying such interest as provided in Section 2.10(d). The rate of interest provided for hereunder is subject to increase or decrease as Term SOFR increases or decreases in an amount corresponding to the change in Term SOFR, with such benchmark rate being determined on the Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day, and any such change will become effective on the first (1^st) day of the immediately following month.

(b) Default Rate. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then upon the election of the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders), while any such Event of Default is outstanding, (i) all of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations and undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto and (ii) the Letter of Credit Fee shall increase to the Default Rate.

(c) Bank Product Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Bank Product Obligations shall bear interest, if any, at the applicable rate(s) set forth in such Hedge Agreements or such other agreements and documents governing the Bank Products.

2.6 Intentionally Omitted.

2.7 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under applicable law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited in prior months by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon Payment in Full of the Obligations under this Agreement, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 2.7, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay Agent, for the account of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court determines that Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to Borrowers such excess.

- 45 -

2.8 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers agree to pay, on the 1st day of each month and on the Maturity Date, to Agent, for the account of Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) at the rate of the applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage based on the result of (i) the Total Credit Facility minus (ii) the average daily Credit Facility Exposure during the immediately preceding month. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments received by Agent shall be deemed to be credited to Borrowers’ Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 2.8.

2.9 Payment of Revolving Loans. Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date. Borrowers may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans, together with outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, exceeds the Availability with any such amount to be payable immediately without notice or demand.

2.10 Payments by Borrowers.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent for the account of Lenders, at Agent’s address and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

- 46 -

(b) Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers have not made such payment in full to Agent, each Lender shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(d) All payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and any related credit support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including all reimbursement for expenses pursuant to Section 13.1, may, at the option of Agent, subject only to the terms of this Section 2.10(d), be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder, whether made following a request by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 2.10(d). Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and any related credit support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 13.1, and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans (including, if charged as such to the Loan Account, Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances) and that all such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.11 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrowers to Agent and each Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. In addition, Borrowers shall timely pay, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, all Other Taxes.

(b) SUBJECT TO SECTION 12.9, XXXXXXXXX AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT AND EACH LENDER FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF INDEMNIFIED TAXES (INCLUDING ANY INDEMNIFIED TAXES ON AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS SECTION) AND ANY INTEREST, PENALTIES OR ADDITIONS TO TAX PAID BY AGENT OR ANY LENDER AND ANY REASONABLE EXPENSES ARISING THEREFROM OR WITH RESPECT THERETO, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED TAXES WERE CORRECTLY OR LEGALLY ASSERTED. PAYMENT UNDER THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE MADE WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER THE DATE AGENT OR SUCH XXXXXX MAKES WRITTEN DEMAND THEREFOR. A CERTIFICATE AS TO THE AMOUNT OF SUCH PAYMENT OR LIABILITY DELIVERED TO THE BORROWER AGENT BY A LENDER (WITH A COPY TO AGENT), OR BY AGENT ON ITS OWN BEHALF OR ON BEHALF OF A LENDER, SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR.

- 47 -

(c) If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then:

(i) If such Taxes or Other Taxes are Indemnified Taxes and subject to Section 12.9, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this section) Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions and withholdings;

(iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

(iv) Borrowers shall also pay to each Lender or Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by Borrowers of Indemnified Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(e) If Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c), if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by Borrowers which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.12 Intentionally Omitted.

2.13 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, 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 Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting any Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit, participation in Letter of Credit Obligations, Commitment or Loan Document;

(iv) and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining any Revolving Loan or Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Revolving Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, Borrowers will pay to it such additional amount(s) as will compensate it for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that a Change in Law affecting such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its 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, Letter of Credit Issuer’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s Commitments, Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or Revolving Loans, to a level below that which such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered.

- 49 -

(c) If any Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, Borrowers shall pay additional interest to such Lender on Revolving Loans equal to the costs of such reserves allocated to the Revolving Loan by the Lender (as determined by it in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive). The additional interest shall be due and payable on each interest payment date for the Revolving Loan; provided, that if the Lender notifies Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) of the additional interest less than 10 days prior to the interest payment date, then such interest shall be payable 10 days after Borrowers’ receipt of the notice.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer for any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13 if the event giving rise to such compensation obligations was suffered more than nine months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that the Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer notifies Borrower Agent of the applicable Change in Law and of such Xxxxxx’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

2.14 Intentionally Omitted.

2.15 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, if for any reason (i) Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period on or prior to the first day of a calendar month, (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Loans, or (iii) upon the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, then, in each case, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrowers. Upon notice thereof by Agent to Borrowers, until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to clause (c) below, Agent may select a replacement index rate and spread adjustment in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that any comparable or successor rate shall be applied by Agent, if administratively feasible, in a manner consistent with market practice.

(b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or regulation or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or any of their respective lending offices) to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Agent and Agent shall promptly give notice to Borrowers and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist or until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to clause (c) below, Agent may select a replacement index rate and spread adjustment in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that any comparable or successor rate shall be applied by Agent, if administratively feasible, in a manner consistent with market practice.

(i) Benchmark Replacement.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Agent and Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and Borrowers so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.15(c)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(B) No Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.15(c).

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers and Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15(c).

- 51 -

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

2.16 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender, when claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Section Two, shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

2.17 Survival. The agreements and obligations of Borrowers in this Section Two shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

2.18 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, upon the Borrowers’ request from time to time, cause stand-by letters of credit to be issued for the Borrowers’ account (the “Letters of Credit”). The Letter of Credit Issuer will not cause to be opened any Letter of Credit if: (i) the stated face amount of the requested Letter of Credit would exceed the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) the stated face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, would cause the Borrowers’ remaining Excess Availability to be less than zero at such time or would exceed the Total Credit Facility at such time; (iii) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit would exceed the Maturity Date or be greater than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance or (iv) a Defaulting Lender exists, unless such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. All payments made and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to or in connection with the Letters of Credit may, at the Agent’s Permitted Discretion, be charged to the Borrowers’ Loan Account as Revolving Loans.

- 52 -

(b) Other Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent contained in Section Six, the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to the Agent:

(i) The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(ii) As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

(i) Request for Issuance. The Borrowers shall give the Agent two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Borrowers’ request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the effective date (which date shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit that the Agent is requested to cause to be issued.

(ii) Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance.

If (i) the undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit is not greater than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from Borrowers in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed the Excess Availability, Agent shall, so long as the other conditions hereof and of Section Six are met, cause the requested Letter of Credit to be issued on such requested effective date of issuance.

- 53 -

(iii) Notice of Issuance. On each Settlement Date, Agent shall give notice to each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit issued since the last Settlement Date.

(iv) No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be extended or amended unless (A) the requirements of this Section 2.18 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued, and (B) the Agent consents to such extension or amendment, which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit.

The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit promptly upon demand, and to pay the issuer of the Letter of Credit (or the Agent, for the account of such issuer) the amount of all other obligations and other amounts payable to such issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against such issuer or any other Person.

(ii) Revolving Loans to Satisfy Reimbursement Obligations. In the event that the issuer of any Letter of Credit honors a draw under such Letter of Credit and the Borrowers shall not have repaid such amount to the issuer of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(d)(i), such drawing shall constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Agent for a Borrowing of a Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing.

Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.18(c), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto).

(ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever Agent receives a payment from Borrowers on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit as to which the Agent has previously received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(d)(ii), Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of such payment from Borrowers in Dollars. Each such payment shall be made by Agent on the Business Day on which Agent receives immediately available funds paid to such Person pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, if received prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on such Business Day and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.

(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(2) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between Borrowers or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

In the event any payment by or on behalf of Xxxxxxxxx received by Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit and distributed by Agent to Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, Lenders shall, upon demand by Agent, pay to Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

(g) Compensation for Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Fee specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 2.19.

- 55 -

(i) INDEMNIFICATION. IN ADDITION TO AMOUNTS PAYABLE AS ELSEWHERE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.18, THE BORROWERS HEREBY AGREE TO PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY AND SAVE THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ANY REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WHICH ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT MAY INCUR OR BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE PROVISION OF ANY CREDIT SUPPORT OR ENHANCEMENT IN CONNECTION XXXXXXXXX UNLESS RESULTING FROM SUCH XXXXXX’S OR THE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(ii) Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, the Borrowers assume all risks (except the risk of gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Lender or the Agent) of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent, when acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Public Authority. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or power of the Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.18.

(iii) Exoneration. In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation, of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Lender under or in connection with any of the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put the Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or relieve the Borrowers of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

- 56 -

(iv) Indemnification by Xxxxxxx. Lenders agree to indemnify each Letter of Credit Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by Borrowers to such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that such Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers. The agreement contained in this section shall survive Payment in Full of all Obligations.

(v) Account Party. The Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the Borrower as the “Account Party” therein and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(i) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.18 and any other provision of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the Borrowers shall deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding, as the Majority Lenders, in their discretion, shall specify, either (A) a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory to the Agent in an amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments made by the Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or under any credit support or enhancement provided through the Agent with respect thereto and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or credit support, or (B) cash in amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments made by the Agent or the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or under any credit support or enhancement provided through the Agent and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or credit support. Such Supporting Letter of Credit or deposit of cash shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such credit support remaining outstanding. At Agent’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s request, Borrowers shall cash collateralize in a manner satisfactory to Agent the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender.

- 57 -

2.19 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin per annum of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit issued for the Borrowers’ account at the Borrowers’ request, plus all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit, which costs, fees and expenses shall include a “fronting fee” payable to such issuer. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the 1st day of each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit was issued and/or in which a Letter of Credit remains outstanding and on the Maturity Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable when a Letter of Credit is issued, renewed, extended, or amended, as appropriate for the period of time during which the Letter of Credit will be outstanding. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased to the Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.5(b).

2.20 Bank Products. Borrowers may request and Xxxxx Fargo may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for Borrowers to obtain, from Xxxxx Fargo, Xxxxx Fargo’s Affiliates or the other Lenders, Bank Products although Borrowers are not required to do so. To the extent Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of Xxxxx Fargo or an Affiliate of a Lender, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Xxxxx Fargo and the Lenders harmless from any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by Xxxxx Fargo or any of the Lenders which arise from the indemnity given by Xxxxx Fargo to its Affiliates or a Lender to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products except for costs or obligations resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxx Fargo or any of the Lenders. The agreement contained in this section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from Xxxxx Fargo, Xxxxx Fargo’s Affiliates or any other Lender (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Xxxxx Fargo, Xxxxx Fargo’s Affiliates, or other Lender, as applicable and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of Xxxxx Fargo, Xxxxx Fargo’s Affiliates or such other Lender, as applicable.

2.21 Loan Administration.

(a) Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Agent as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications with Agent, Bank or any Lender, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent, Agent and the Lenders hereby accept such appointment. Agent and Lenders 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. Agent and Xxxxxxx may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Xxxxxxx may give any notice or communication, with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any and all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower 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.

- 58 -

(b) One Obligation. The Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

2.22 Requested Increases to Commitments. Provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, at any time prior to ninety (90) days before the Maturity Date, Borrower Agent may request from time to time in writing to the Agent that the Commitments be increased, by an amount not less than $5,000,000 or higher integral multiple of $5,000,000, but in any event not to exceed $500,000,000 (total commitments), or an aggregate amount that is equal to an amount which would increase the Commitments to $500,000,000 (total commitments), according to the following procedures:

(a) The Borrowers shall offer the existing Lenders the opportunity to participate in any such increased amount of the Commitments (such increased amount being referred to as the “Commitment Increase Amount”) in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share (each participating Lender being referred to as an “Increasing Lender”). The existing Lenders shall be under no obligation to participate in any such Commitment Increase Amount and any agreement by any Lender to so participate will be in the sole discretion of such Lender.

(b) If any Lender declines to commit to its Pro Rata Share of any such Commitment Increase Amount (such declined portion of the Commitment Increase Amount being referred to as a “Declined Share”), then the Borrower may join a new Lender (or Lenders) to this Agreement (each such Lender, an “Augmenting Lender”), who shall be (i) a commercial bank, commercial finance company or other asset based lender, having total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, (ii) an Affiliate of an existing Lender; or (iii) another Person acceptable to Agent in its discretion, or permit an existing Lender which has already agreed to commit to its Pro Rata Share of any such Commitment Increase Amount, to commit to the Declined Share. If an Augmenting Lender (or Lenders) commits to the Declined Share, it (or they) shall join (if not already a party hereto) this Agreement pursuant to a bank joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrowers, setting forth the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender (or Lenders), pursuant to which such Augmenting Lender (or Lenders) will become party hereto as of the effective date thereof.

(c) On the effective date of any increase in the Commitment(s) as contemplated by this Section 2.22, (i) each Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Agent, for the benefit of the other Lenders, such amounts in immediately available funds as the Agent shall determine as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans (after giving effect to the increase in the Commitment(s) occasioned by the addition of the Increasing Lender(s) or Augmenting Lender(s), or both, as the case may be) and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitment(s) (with such reborrowing to consist of Revolving Loans subject to the same interest rate options provided herein specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement). Upon the request of the Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders any and all Notes and other documents, instruments, and agreements necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Agent to evidence or document the increase in the Commitment(s), including any amendments hereto, and each of the Lenders hereby provides its consent hereto and thereto and each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to execute any such documents, instruments, and agreements consistent with the terms of this Section 2.22 on its behalf without the necessity of any further consent of any Lender. In consideration of each increase in the Commitments according to this Section 2.22 and as a condition thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders providing the Commitment Increase Amount, an upfront commitment increase fee in an amount to be mutually agreed among Borrowers and the Augmenting Lenders providing the Commitment Increase Amount, payable on the effective date of each increase in the Commitment(s). Such fee shall be fully due and non-refundable when paid.

- 59 -

(d) As a condition to any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.22, Borrowers shall have complied with the following conditions: (i) upon the request of any Lender made prior to the date of the proposed Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.22, Borrowers shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. PATRIOT Act, in each case at least 3 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.22; and (ii) at least 10 days prior to the date of the proposed Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.22, any Borrower (including any entity to be joined as a Borrower) that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall deliver, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(a) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Non-Ratable Loans, Agent Advances, and Letter of Credit Obligations), Agent shall reallocate Pro Rata Shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Revolving Loans from the calculation of shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 11.1.

(b) Payments; Fees. Agent shall receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Lenders have been Paid in Full. Agent may use such amounts to cover the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, to cash collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to readvance the amounts to Borrowers or to repay Obligations. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender and its unfunded Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 2.8. If any Letter of Credit Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 2.19 shall be paid to such Lenders. Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to Letter of Credit Obligations that are not reallocated.

- 60 -

(c) Status; Cure. Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in writing that a Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata Shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Xxxxxx’s Commitments and Revolving Loans, and the exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata Shares. Unless expressly agreed by Xxxxxxxxx, Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reallocation of Commitments and Revolving Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders or reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Revolving Loan, to make a payment in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations or otherwise to perform obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document. No Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

SECTION THREE—TERM

3.1 Term of Agreement and Revolving Loan Repayment. This Agreement shall have a term commencing on the date this Agreement becomes effective, and ending on the Maturity Date. The outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations which the applicable Bank Product Provider has agreed to continue) shall be Paid in Full on the Maturity Date without notice or demand and shall be repaid to Agent, for the account of Lenders, by a wire transfer of immediately available funds. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement prior to the Maturity Date by: (a) giving Agent and Lenders at least 15 Business Days prior notice of intention to terminate this Agreement; (b) making Payment in Full of all Obligations on or prior to the effective date of termination; and (c) subject to Section 13.24(a), paying to Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an early termination fee equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Total Credit Facility in the event the effective date of termination occurs at any time prior to September 20, 2023 (it being understood and agreed that no early termination fee shall be due and payable in the event the effective date of termination occurs after September 20, 2023). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may (and shall, at the direction of Majority Lenders) immediately accelerate the Maturity Date and terminate further performance under this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.2; it being agreed that the prepayment penalties in the preceding sentence shall apply if the Agent accelerates the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement shall not constitute a termination of the Original Loan Agreement for purposes of Section 3.1 thereof.

3.2 Termination of Security Interests. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations have been Paid in Full, Agent, for the account of Lenders, shall retain a security interest in all Collateral existing and thereafter arising and Borrowers shall continue to collaterally assign to Agent, for the account of Lenders, all Contracts and security therefor and shall continue to turn over to Agent, in kind, all collections received respecting the Contracts as and to the extent required by the Loan Documents. After termination, and when Agent has received Payment in Full of all Obligations, for the account of the Lenders, the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all right to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrowers and Agent shall promptly execute such evidence of termination of all security agreements and release of the security interests given by Borrowers to Agent as Borrower may reasonably request.

SECTION FOUR—SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL

4.1 Creation of Security Interest in Collateral. Without limiting any Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement (which are hereby continued and renewed and shall remain in full force and effect in order to secure prompt payment and performance by each Borrower of all its Obligations (other than subsection (c) of the definition of Collateral which granting shall be governed by such other applicable security document)), each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants, transfers, pledges, collaterally assigns, hypothecates, sets over and conveys to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a first-priority continuing Lien and security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under all of the Collateral (except with respect to subsection (c) of the definition of Collateral to the extent that granting occurs pursuant to another security agreement or similar document), whether presently existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in order to secure prompt payment and performance by each Borrower of all its Obligations (other than subsection (c) of the definition of Collateral which granting shall be governed by such other applicable security document).

The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Agent, each Permitted Facility Agent party thereto, and any additional Permitted Facility Agents shall be governed by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting obligor.

4.2 Borrower’s Representations and Warranties Regarding Collateral. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that so long as such Borrower is obligated to Agent and Lenders, that:

(a) the Collateral shall be owned solely by such Xxxxxxxx, and no other Person, other than Agent and Lenders (and Collateral Agent as to the Master Collection Accounts (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), has or will have any right, title, interest, claim or Lien therein except for Permitted Liens;

(c) Such Borrower shall pay and discharge, when due, all taxes, levies, assessments and other charges upon the Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the enforcement of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment thereof; and

4.3 Financing Statements. Each Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to take such action, including delivery, as may be required to perfect or maintain Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, and to execute and record an assignment of any deed of trust or mortgage naming such Borrower as the beneficiary and a Contract Debtor (or any Guarantor) as trustor. Each Borrower hereby (i) authorizes Agent and Agent’s designee to execute and file or record, or file or record without signature as the case may be where permitted by law, at any time any such financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments and amendments thereto on such Borrower’s behalf and (ii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Agent has filed any such financing statements, continuation statements and assignments and amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof.

Each Borrower covenants and agrees that, except for Collateral in the possession of Agent, or over which Agent has Control, is in-transit, or is maintained on an electronic system, it will not maintain the Collateral at any location other than those listed in Schedule 4.4 (other than any new locations which are not required to have been updated on Schedule 4.4 pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(v)), and will not otherwise change or add to those locations, unless such Borrower promptly executes and delivers to Agent any and all financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by Agent in such circumstance and, not less frequently than when required by Section 9.1(d)(v), such Borrower delivers to Agent an update to Schedule 4.4. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall upon Agent’s request immediately deliver to Agent all Contracts and related Security Documents then existing and thereafter arising. With respect to Contracts in electronic form, such Collateral shall be stored on an electronic system, which system must be at all times accessible by, and acceptable to, Agent (unless the Electronic Contract Conditions are satisfied with respect to such Contracts that are Electronic Contracts).

All sums so paid or incurred by Agent for any of the foregoing and any and all sums for which Borrowers may become liable under this Agreement and all reasonable costs and expenses (including Agent’s Expenses) which Agent may incur in enforcing or protecting its Lien or rights and interest in the Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereto or in respect of any of the transactions occurring thereunder until paid by Borrowers to Agent with interest at the rate of interest then in effect under the Notes, shall be considered as additional indebtedness owing by Borrowers to Agent under this Agreement and, as such, shall be secured by all the Collateral. Except for Agent or Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

(b) Releases and Xxxxxxxx. Borrowers may, from time to time, request a Release Request to Agent in order to effectuate a transfer of Collateral in connection with a Permitted Facility permitted by Section 8.18(a). Agent agrees to approve and effectuate such Release Request within three (3) Business Days after Agent’s receipt thereof and authorize the filing of the UCC-3 Termination Statement with respect to the specific Collateral being transferred so long as such transfer is consummated pursuant to a Permitted Facility entered into in accordance with Section 8.18(a). Each Release Request delivered by Borrowers shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Borrowers to Agent that the transfer contemplated thereby is a Permitted Transfer relating to a Permitted Facility permitted under Section 8.18(a). Agent agrees to cooperate with Borrowers in providing any joinders, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to the Intercreditor Agreement and Security Agreement contemplated thereby in connection with a Permitted Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent and the Lenders agree and acknowledge that once Collateral has been released pursuant to a Release Request in connection with a Permitted Facility, such Collateral is effectively released (but without limiting Agent’s Lien in any Reconveyed Contracts that are not Permitted Facility Reconveyed Contracts or related Collateral) and the Borrowers do not need to request and obtain a separate Release Request from the Agent in connection with a subsequent transfer of such Collateral to another Permitted Facility. Upon such release, Agent shall, within a reasonable period of time, return the original Contract(s) and original Security Documents in its possession, if any, being released.

(c) Ongoing Covenants. Any net proceeds of a Permitted Transfer of Contracts into a Permitted Facility received by Borrowers from time to time shall (i) in the case of a Warehouse Facility, first be promptly applied to reduce the existing indebtedness under this Agreement, or (ii) in the case of a Securitization, first be promptly applied to reduce the existing indebtedness under any related Warehouse Facility, to the extent such net proceeds were received as a result of assets being transferred from a Warehouse Facility substantially concurrently with the receipt of such net proceeds, and second any remaining net proceeds shall be promptly applied to reduce the existing indebtedness under this Agreement. Borrowers shall not amend or modify any Permitted Facility in a manner that would contravene any terms, covenants or provisions of this Agreement or in any manner which would cause such Securitization or Warehouse Facility to no longer be permitted under Section 8.18(a), unless acceptable to Agent in its sole but reasonable discretion.

- 85 -

8.19 Mergers, Consolidations or Acquisitions. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) consummate any transaction of merger, statutory division, reorganization, or consolidation without Agent’s written approval, provided that any Borrower or Guarantor may merge with and into any other Borrower or a Guarantor so long as, if a Borrower is a party to any such transaction, a Borrower is the surviving entity, or (ii) transfer, sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its Property (other than to a Borrower), or (iii) wind up, liquidate or dissolve, or agree to do any of the foregoing (other than with respect to Special Purpose Subsidiaries (including through the filing of a certificate of cancellation with respect to any Special Purpose Subsidiary)). Any proposed Acquisition (other than a Permitted Acquisition or a transaction permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) requires Required Lenders’ approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers may, with the consent of the Agent, (i) effect the dissolution of Upstate Motor Company or any other immaterial Subsidiary and (ii) subject to Section 8.13, make Bulk Purchases.

8.20 Use of Loan Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans advanced hereunder on or after the Closing Date, first, to pay all fees and other expenses of the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the closing of this Agreement, and in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Fee Letters, and, second, for working capital and general corporate purposes (including consummating Permitted Acquisitions). Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan proceeds, or use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available any Letter of Credit or Loan proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any Designated Jurisdiction that, at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit or funding of the Loan, is the target of any Sanction; or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of a Sanction by any Person (including any Lender or other individual or entity participating in any transaction).

8.21 Forms of Contracts. Upon Agent’s request from time to time in its Permitted Discretion, Borrowers shall engage outside legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Agent (at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense) to undertake a review of Contract documentation of Borrowers and provide Agent within sixty (60) days after each such request (or such longer period as Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) with an opinion that is reasonably acceptable to Agent in all material respects from such outside legal counsel with respect to the compliance with applicable law of such Contract documentation.

provided, however, that (x) Borrowers may elect to deliver Borrowing Base Certificates (together with the other information required by this Section 9.1(d)) more frequently than monthly, so long as (I) Borrowers provide Agent with at least 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as Agent may agree) prior written notice of such election; and (II) if requested by Agent, Borrowers continue the frequency of reporting that was elected by Borrowers in such notice for not less than 90 consecutive days after the date such reporting commenced (and a failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.1(d)) (or such shorter time period as agreed to by Agent in its Permitted Discretion); and (y) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may require that Borrowers provide daily or weekly Borrowing Base Certificates.

- 91 -

10.2 Default Remedies.

(a) Acceleration of Obligations; Right to Dispose of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as provided in Section 10.1 above, all of the Obligations (except Bank Product Obligations as to which all applicable notice and cure periods shall have to have elapsed) due from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders, at the option of Agent (or at the direction of the Majority Lenders), and upon written notice thereof to Borrowers by Agent or any Lender, shall accelerate and become at once due and payable and the Commitments shall immediately terminate; Borrowers shall forthwith pay to Agent, in addition to any and all sums and charges due, the entire principal of and accrued interest on the Notes and all other Obligations; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e), the Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind. Agent thereupon shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code and all other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, and Agent may and shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, take such action as is required under Section 12.5 hereof. If not previously delivered to Agent, Agent shall also have the right to require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral, at Borrowers’ expense, and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent, and Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral and may enter any of the premises of Borrowers or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold and if said premises are the property of Borrowers, Borrowers agree not to charge Agent for storage thereof for a period of at least ninety (90) days after the sale or disposition of the Collateral. Borrowers waive the right to require the filing of any undertaking or bond to obtain any such process of law. Ten (10) days’ notice to Borrowers of any public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof and such sale shall be at such location(s) as Agent shall designate in said notice. The Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Majority Lenders deem advisable, in their discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Agent and each Lender shall have the right to bid at such sale on its own behalf. Out of proceeds arising from any such sale, Agent shall retain all costs and charges, including attorneys’ fees for pursuing, reclaiming, taking, keeping, storing, and advertising such Collateral for sale, selling and any and all other charges and expenses in connection therewith. Any balance shall be applied upon the Obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders; and in the event of deficiency, Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to the party entitled by law to same. In no event shall proceeds obtained from one or more Borrowers or Guarantors be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, upon prior notice to Borrowers, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement restricting the bidder and prospective purchasers. In so doing, Agent may solicit offers to buy the Collateral, or any part of it, for cash, from a limited number of purchasers deemed by Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Agent solicits such offers from not less than three such purchasers then the acceptance by Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.

- 92 -

(b) Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may (and shall, at the direction of Majority Lenders) also, with or without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment of the Obligations, without notice, terminate further performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, without further liability or obligation by Agent or any Lender, and may also, at any time, appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all Collateral in the possession of Agent or any Lender, and any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness, or other monies due or owing to Borrowers or held by Agent or any Lender hereunder or otherwise, whether accrued or not; and Agent and Lenders shall not, in any manner, be liable to Borrowers for any failure to make or continue to make any Revolving Loans or Advances under this Agreement. Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of notice, or otherwise shall absolve, release, or otherwise affect the liability of Borrowers in respect of transactions had prior to such termination, nor affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies of Agent or any Lender, but they shall, in all events, continue until all Obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders have been Paid in Full.

(c) Remedies Cumulative. All undertakings of Borrowers contained in this Agreement, or in any documents referred to herein concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to exercise or enforce any rights or remedies under this Agreement or under any of the aforesaid agreements or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such rights and remedies, but all such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Payment in Full of all Revolving Loans and Advances and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders, and all rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none are exclusive.

(d) Collection Account Access. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and subject to Section 5.2(a) hereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Dominion Period (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or on any date when Hypothetical Availability is less than or equal to 5% of the Credit Facility Exposure, Agent may (and shall, at the direction of Majority Lenders) notify the bank identified in any Collection Account Agreement to terminate Borrowers’ right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Accounts identified therein.

(e) Level Two Regulatory Event. So long as a Level Two Regulatory Event is continuing, Agent shall have the right to immediately substitute a third party acceptable to Agent as servicer or asset manager of the Borrowers’ respective or collective portfolios of Contracts, and upon and after such substitution, such replacement servicer shall be entitled to receive a commercially reasonable fee for such services; provided that upon the satisfactory cure, in the Required Lenders’ discretion, of such Event of Default, Regional shall be reinstated as such servicer or asset manager as promptly as practicable.

It is understood and agreed that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if following the Closing Date, the Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

11.2 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx, assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of Agent or any Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender and no consent of any Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to another Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Revolving Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Revolving Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000); provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrowers and Agent by such Xxxxxx and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrowers and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit B (“Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,000.

- 95 -

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit and related credit support have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and 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 Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender 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 execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with 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; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, 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; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (vii) such Assignee is an Eligible Assignee and not a Person to whom Obligations may not be assigned pursuant to clause (i) below.

(d) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding 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.

- 96 -

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing fee referred to in subsection (a) of this section and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (a) of this section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this section.

(f) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(g) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (other than a natural person) not Affiliates of any Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Revolving Loans, the Commitment of that Xxxxxx and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the rights described in Section 11.1 as being rights that are voted on by all Lenders), and all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Xxxxxx had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance 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 to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person. Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignment is permitted under the Loan Documents. Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender must be accompanied by satisfaction of its outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents in a manner satisfactory to Agent, including payment by the Defaulting Lender or Eligible Assignee of an amount sufficient upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Agent in its discretion) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender. If any assignment by a Defaulting Lender (by operation of law or otherwise) does not comply with the foregoing, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.

SECTION TWELVE—THE AGENT

12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Xxxxx Fargo as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section Twelve. The provisions of this Section Twelve are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to Lenders, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Availability, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 2.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders. Without limiting Section 11.1, Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Loan Documents and to enter into amendments, restatements, modifications and supplements to the Loan Documents entered into between Agent and one or more Borrowers or Guarantors from time to time to take any action contemplated or permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes each of Collateral Agent and Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Agreement (together with any joinders thereto and any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto to make conforming changes to the Loan Documents, resolve any ambiguities in Agent’s discretion and make corrective amendments thereto), and to take all actions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Agreement.

- 98 -

12.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrowers or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any of Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

12.4 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by all Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby ratifies each action taken by Agent prior to the date hereof. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower and Guarantor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Revolving Loans and participate in Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder. Each Lender has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral, Borrowers and Guarantors. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders and Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Borrower, any Guarantor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Revolving Loans and participating in Letter of Credit Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender or which are expressly described herein as being delivered to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Borrower or Guarantor, or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or properties of any Borrower or Guarantor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates.

- 99 -

12.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Upon the written request of any Lender, Agent shall send notice of such Default or Event of Default under this Agreement to the Borrowers within ten (10) Business Days, with a copy provided to each of the Lenders, unless such Default is cured within the applicable cure period or such Event of Default is waived. Otherwise, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Majority Lenders in accordance with Section 10.2; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. Agent and each of the Lenders agree to use reasonable good faith efforts to disclose to each other, as soon as practicable after discovery by a senior officer with direct responsibility for the management of the transactions with Borrowers, any information or communication (believed to be reliable and substantially accurate) which the disclosing Lender has reason to believe (a) is not known by Agent or the other Lenders (as applicable) and (b) may have a material and adverse effect upon the business or operations of the Borrowers and/or upon the collateral security for the Obligations, and as a result, may impair the repayment of the Obligations as and when due; provided, however, that neither the Agent nor the other Lenders shall have any liability as a result of its or their failure to disclose any information pursuant to this section, nor shall any Lender assert any such failure by Agent or another Lender as a defense to any claim asserted against a Lender under the provisions of this Agreement.

12.6 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.14 and from and against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 12.6 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

- 100 -

12.7 Agent in Individual Capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower and its subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Xxxxx Fargo were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent and Xxxxx Fargo shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Revolving Loans, Xxxxx Fargo shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Xxxxx Fargo in its individual capacity.

12.8 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Xxxxxxx and Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event Xxxxx Fargo sells all of its Commitment and Obligations as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by Xxxxx Fargo of substantially all of its loan portfolio, Xxxxx Fargo shall resign as Agent. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Majority Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Xxxxxxx with, in the absence of Specified Event of Default, the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Xxxxxxx with, in the absence of a Specified Event of Default, the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), a successor agent from among Xxxxxxx. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent xxxxxxxxx, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section Twelve shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

12.9 Withholding Tax. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent that will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. On or before the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), the Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), together with any attachments or exhibits required by such forms, certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender and Agent 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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. During any period that a Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by a change in treaty or law that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Section 12.9 or Section 2.11 as a result of such withholding.

- 101 -

If payment of an Obligation to a Lender would be subject to 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 IRS Code), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRS Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 12.9, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

12.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Agent’s Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with this Agreement and so long as Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) as contemplated by Section 4.6 and Section 8.18; (iv) constituting property in which Xxxxxxxxx owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (v) constituting property leased to Borrowers under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above or in Section 13.21, Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, Xxxxxxx will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10; it being understood that such confirmation is not a condition to any Lien release otherwise permitted by this clause (a).

(b) If a Lien release is authorized by the foregoing clause (a), upon prior written request by Xxxxxxxxx, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) promptly thereafter execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral (each to be in form and substance acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion); provided, however, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

- 102 -

(c) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

12.11 Restrictions on Actions by Xxxxxxx; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against Borrowers, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

- 103 -

12.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

12.13 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to Agent on or prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans or otherwise.

12.14 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of Agent and Lenders.

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers and Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH AN EXERCISE OF RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY LENDERS.

13.17 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable to Agent and Lenders for Payment in Full of the Obligations, except its Excluded Swap Obligations, and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations, and liabilities of the other Borrowers. Agent or any Lender may bring a separate action or actions on each, any, or all of the Obligations against any Borrower, whether action is brought against the other Borrower(s).

- 113 -

(b) Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any guarantor or endorser of any of the Obligations shall not release such other Borrowers from their obligations hereunder.

(c) Each Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Agent or any Lender any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims which any Borrower individually may now or any time hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other party liable to Agent or any Lender in any manner or way whatsoever.

(d) Any and all present and future indebtedness of a Borrower to the other Borrowers is hereby subordinated to the Full Payment of the Obligations.

(e) Each Borrower is presently informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that it will keep itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers, the status of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Absent a written request from any Borrower to Agent or any Lender for information, each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have to require Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information which Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning the condition or circumstances of the other Borrower.

(f) Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default, existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and all other notices of formalities to which such Borrower may, as joint and several Borrower hereunder, be entitled.

(g) At the request of Borrowers to facilitate and expedite the administration and accounting processes and procedures of their borrowings hereunder, Agent and Xxxxxxx have agreed, in lieu of maintaining separate loan accounts, that Agent shall maintain a single loan account under the name of Borrowers (“Loan Account”). The Revolving Loans shall be made jointly and severally to the Borrowers and shall be charged to their Loan Account, together with all interest and other charges as permitted under and pursuant to this Agreement. The Revolving Loans shall be credited with all repayments of Obligations received by Agent, on behalf of Xxxxxxx, from any Borrower as paid into a Collection Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Requests for borrowings may be made by any Borrower, pursuant to the terms of Section Two hereof. Each Borrower expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility to inquire into the correctness of the apportionment or allocation of or any disposition by any of the Borrowers of (i) any Obligations, or (ii) any of the expenses and other items charged to the Loan Account pursuant to this Agreement. All Obligations and such expenses and other items shall be made for the collective, joint, and several account of the Borrowers and shall be charged to their Loan Account.

- 114 -

(i) Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the administration of the Obligations on a combined basis as set forth in this Section 13.17 is being done as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request, and that neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any of the Borrowers as a result thereof. TO INDUCE AGENT AND LENDERS TO DO SO, AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREOF, EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD AGENT AND EACH LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, EXPENSES, LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIM OF DAMAGE, OR INJURY, MADE AGAINST AGENT OR ANY LENDER BY ANY OF BORROWERS OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON, ARISING FROM OR INCURRED BY REASON OF SUCH ADMINISTRATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES, EXPENSES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS AND INJURIES (I) RESULT SOLELY FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR (II) ARE AWARDED AS DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES (AND NOT ANY DAMAGES CONSTITUTING SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE) TO ANY BORROWER OR GUARANTOR IN AN ACTION BROUGHT BY SUCH BORROWER OR GUARANTOR AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR BREACH OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IF SUCH BORROWER OR GUARANTOR HAS OBTAINED A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ITS FAVOR ON SUCH CLAIM AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

(j) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that the collective administration of the Obligations is being undertaken by Agent and each Lender pursuant to this Section 13.17, because Borrowers are integrated in their operation and administration and require financing on a basis permitting the availability of credit from time to time to each of the Borrowers. Each Borrower will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from such collective administration and credit availability because the successful operation of each Borrower is enhanced by the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

(k) Each Borrower hereby postpones and subordinates to the Payment in Full of the Obligations any right of subrogation it has or may have against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations or any other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, each Borrower hereby postpones any right to proceed against the other Borrowers, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, such Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against any other Borrower with respect to the Obligations or any other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement, until all Obligations have been finally Paid in Full. Each Borrower agrees that in light of the immediately foregoing agreements, the execution of this Agreement shall not be deemed to make such Borrower a “creditor” of any other Borrower, and that for purposes of §§547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§547, 550), such Borrower shall not be deemed a “creditor” of the other Borrower.

(l) Each Borrower or Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this section voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Borrower and Guarantor intends this section to constitute, and this section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Borrower for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

13.18 Counterparts; Execution. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement; provided, that, in any event, each party hereto shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement to Agent. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

13.19 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

13.20 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among Borrower and Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Agent or any Lender may have.

13.21 Other Security and Guarantees. Agent, may, without notice or demand and without affecting any Borrower’s obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations and exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligations and release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any Lien in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of the Obligations. The Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a guaranty and/or release any security interest in the Collateral owned by such Guarantor if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.21.

- 116 -

13.22 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS WRITTEN, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG AGENT, XXXXXXX AND BORROWERS AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND BORROWERS.

13.23 U.S. PATRIOT Act Notice. Agent and Xxxxxxx hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the U.S. PATRIOT Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the U.S. PATRIOT Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Borrowers shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under any “know your customer,” anti-money laundering or other requirements of Applicable Law.

13.24 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) only one Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 with respect to a particular event giving rise to such compensation, (b) if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to only one Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of one Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to a particular event giving rise to such payment, (c) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (d) if any Lender is acquired by or merges with any other Person and such Lender is not the surviving Person, or (e) if any Lender fails to approve an amendment, consent or waiver hereunder which is approved by the Majority Lenders, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, (1) notwithstanding clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) below, prepay all outstanding amounts owed to such Lender (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such payment may be made without the Borrowers being required to make pro rata payments in respect thereof to any other Lender hereunder), as more specifically described in clause (ii) below (excluding any prepayment penalty set forth in Section 3.1, it being acknowledged and agreed that such Lender shall not be entitled to payment of prepayment penalty) and permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments by the Commitment held by such Lender or (2) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) Borrowers or the assignee shall have paid Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.2(a).

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14 from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts));

- 117 -

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws; and

(iv) such assignment is completed within ninety (90) days after any request in (a) above, payment in (b) above, default in (c) above, merger in (d) above, or any failure to approve in (e) above .

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. The right to replace a Lender hereunder in subsections (a), (b) and (e) does not apply if more than one Lender is affected in each scenario.

13.25 Confidentiality. The Agent and each Xxxxxx agrees to keep confidential any information provided by the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, or their respective representatives, or agents, hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to maintain procedures with respect to such information substantially comparable to those applied by the Agent and each Lender in respect of other non-public information, and not to use such information for any purpose other than in connection with the Revolving Loans or in connection with other financial accommodations being provided or to be provided by the Agent and any Lender to any Borrower; provided that the Agent and each Lender may disclose such information (a) to the extent required by applicable law, (b) to any Agent-Related Persons or to counsel for the Agent or Lenders or to their respective accountants, (c) to bank examiners and auditors and appropriate government examining authorities, (d) to any actual or prospective participant in the Agent or Lenders’ interest in its Revolving Loans and other rights or obligations hereunder, provided that each such actual or prospective participant has agreed in writing, that it will comply with the restrictions contained in this Section 13.25 to the same extent as if it were the Agent or a Lender and that such written agreement provides that (i) it can be relied upon by the Borrowers and (ii) such information will be used by such prospective participant only in its evaluation of its participation in the credit facility, (e) in connection with the enforcement of any Borrower’s Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (f) in connection with any litigation relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

13.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto (including each Lender) acknowledges that, with respect to any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution, any unsecured liability of such Lender arising under a Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority, and each party hereto agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liability which may be payable to it by such Lender; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

- 118 -

13.27 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 13.28, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

- 119 -

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

13.28 Intentionally Omitted.

13.29 RELEASE OF CLAIMS. To induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Agent and Lenders, and all officers, directors, agents, employees, successors and assigns of any of them, from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature (if there be any), whether absolute or contingent, disputed or undisputed, at law or in equity, or known or unknown, that such Borrower now has or ever had against Agent or any Lender arising on or prior to the date hereof in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

13.30 Documentation Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, BMO Xxxxxx Financing, Inc., as the Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof, shall not have any liabilities, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in such capacity.
