9. Representations, Warranties and Covenant of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lender, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, that on and as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment:

(a) Each Loan Party has the limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (and perform its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder). This Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly authorized by such Loan Party. This Amendment, the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, and the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) each constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditor’s rights generally and general principles of equity;

4

(b) Subject to the revised Schedules attached to this Agreement, each Loan Party’s representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly related solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations were true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date;

(c) All Obligations now due or payable by any Loan Party to Lenders or Administrative Agent are unconditionally owing by such Loan Party to Lenders and Administrative Agent, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever; and

(d) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no “Default” or “Event of Default” shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Documents, as of the date hereof or shall occur immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Lenders are specifically relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Amendment and that such representations, warranties and agreements constitute a material inducement to Administrative Agent and Lenders in entering into this Amendment.

10. Release by Loan Parties. In further consideration of the execution of this Amendment by Administrative Agent and Lenders, each Loan Party (on behalf of itself and its shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors and assigns) hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably forever remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges Administrative Agent and Lender and their respective successors, assigns, affiliates, parent entities, officers, employees, directors, shareholders, agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, disputes, damages, suits, controversies, penalties, fees, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action (whether at law or in equity) and obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent (all of the foregoing, “Claims”), that such Loan Party (or any of its respective shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors or assigns) occurring on or before the date hereof, from any or all of the Releasees, which arise from or relate to any actions, omissions, conditions, events, or any other circumstances whatsoever on or prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the Obligations, any Collateral, the Credit Agreement, the transactions relating thereto or hereto, and any other Loan Document, other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent as finally determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Reference to Credit Agreement; No Waiver.

(a) References. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The term “Loan Documents” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall include (in addition to the Loan Documents described in the Credit Agreement) this Amendment and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) No Waiver. The failure of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders), at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Loan Parties of any provision or term of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders) hereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of a breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall not, except as expressly set forth in a writing signed by Administrative Agent, suspend, waive or affect any other breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Loan Parties contained in this Amendment, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Administrative Agent or Lenders unless such suspension or waiver is (i) in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and (ii) delivered to the Loan Parties. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ execution and delivery of this Amendment establish a course of dealing among Administrative Agent, Lenders, Loan Parties or any other obligor, or in any other way obligate Administrative Agent or Lenders to hereafter provide any amendments or waivers with respect to the Credit Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (x) to be a consent to any amendment or modification of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents (except as expressly provided herein); or (y) to prejudice any right or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may now have under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the execution and delivery of this Amendment does not effectuate a novation of the liabilities and obligations of the Loan Parties to Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to the Loans, but merely serves as a modification of certain terms thereof.

5

(c) Full Force and Effect. The Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents, in each case as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(d) Reaffirmation of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms any and all grants of Liens to Administrative Agent in, to and on the Collateral as security for the Obligations, and the Company acknowledges and confirms that the grants of the Liens to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders in, to and on the Collateral: (i) represent continuing Liens on all of the Collateral, (ii) secure the indefeasible payment in full in cash all of the Obligations when due or declared due in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) represent valid and first priority perfected Liens on all of the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens).

12. Miscellaneous. Titles and headings herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and are without substantive legal meaning. This Amendment may only be amended or modified by a writing signed by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and the Loan Parties. Neither this Amendment nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Administrative Agent or Lenders, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, the Loan Parties may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

14. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Amendment.

15. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, admissible into evidence.

16. Facsimile. A signature hereto sent or delivered by facsimile or other electronic means shall be as legally binding and enforceable as a signed original for all purposes.

17. Governing Law. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

18. Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; OR, IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INITIATES SUCH ACTION, IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING COURTS, ANY COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL INITIATE OR TO WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL REMOVE SUCH ACTION, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT OTHERWISE HAS JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS IN ADVANCE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN OR REMOVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ANY OF SUCH COURTS, HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.3 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY COURT HAVING SITUS IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE. SHOULD ANY LOAN PARTY, AFTER BEING SO SERVED, FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THE PERIOD OF TIME PRESCRIBED BY LAW AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, SUCH LOAN PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGAINST SUCH LOAN PARTY AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. THE EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF FORUM FOR THE LOAN PARTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY OTHER FORUM OR THE TAKING, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION, AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR ACTION.

6

19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

20. Tax Treatment of the New Principal Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment and solely for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the parties hereby agree that the Lenders’ advance of the New Principal Amount shall be treated as a new loan rather than a modification of the existing Loans under the Credit Agreement, and, as a result, Treasury Regulation 1.1001-3 shall not apply to the incurrence of the New Principal Amount.  The Lenders and the Company hereby agree that they shall report the transaction consistent with this approach and shall not take any inconsistent position on any U.S. federal, state or local tax filing or with any governmental authority, in each case without the express written consent of the other party.

In addition to the Company satisfying the conditions to the making of a Delayed Draw Loan set forth in Section 12.2:

(i) The aggregate principal amount of each Delayed Draw Loan shall be for no less than $1,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); and

(ii) No more than one Delayed Draw Loan may be requested in any single calendar month.

As of the First Amendment Closing Date, the Delayed Draw Commitment has been fully funded.

(c) Each request for a Loan must be made by the Company in writing to the Administrative Agent, such Borrowing Request shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F setting forth, among other things, (A) the proposed Funding Date, (B) the aggregate principal amount of such requested Loans, and (C) the wire instructions for Company’s account where funds should be sent. With respect to the Delayed Draw Loan, such Borrowing Request shall be made to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days prior to the proposed Delayed Draw Date. Following receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of their pro rata share of such Funding;

(d) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to Company in immediately available funds and will remit such amounts, in immediately available funds and in Dollars to Company, by remitting the same to such Persons and such accounts as may be designated by Company to the Administrative Agent in writing. The failure of any Lender to make available the amounts it is to fund to Company hereunder or to make a payment required to be made by it under any credit document shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any credit document, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any payment required to be made by such other Lender under any credit document.

(e) General. The failure of any Lender to make its Loan on the Closing Date or a Delayed Draw Date (as applicable) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make its Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender. Any Loan which is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

2.2 Notes. If requested by a Lender, such Lender’s Loan shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in a face principal amount equal to the sum of such Lender’s Loan.

2.3 Recordkeeping. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in the Register, the date and amount of the Loan made by each Lender, each repayment thereof and the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder. The amounts so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon. In the event of any discrepancy between records kept by a Lender and the Register, the amounts recorded by the Administrative Agent in the Register shall control.

F. ARTICLE III

INTEREST

3.1 Interest. Subject to Section 3.2, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the rate described in the applicable Note.

3.2 Default Interest. Notwithstanding Section 3.1, if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, at the election of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, the unpaid Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate, retroactive to the date such Event of Default occurred or such later date as the Required Lenders may specify, provided that such increase may thereafter be rescinded by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4, such increase shall occur automatically.

3.3 Interest Payments; PIK. The Company promises to pay accrued interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, at the Company’s option and upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company may elect to defer until the Maturity Date payment of accrued and unpaid interest otherwise due and payable with respect to any Loan on the Interest Payment Election Date at a per annum rate of: (i) from the Closing Date through and including the first anniversary thereof, up to 5.0%, (ii) from the day after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, up to 4.0%, and (iii) from the day after the second anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the third anniversary of the Closing Date, up to 3.0%. All accrued and unpaid interest the payment of which is so deferred shall (a) be compounded and added to the unpaid principal balance of the applicable Loan on the applicable Interest Payment Date, (b) itself accrue interest at the rate then applicable under Section 3.1 and (c) be paid as otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Company promises to pay accrued interest on the applicable Loan on demand by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash interest paid by the Company in respect of Term Loan C prior to the date of any prepayment required by Section 6.2(b) of this Agreement shall reduce the final payment due on the Maturity Date of Term Loan C by such amount.

15

3.4 Computation of Interest. Interest and fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

3.5 Maximum Rate. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents are hereby limited by this Section 3.5. In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due hereunder or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid, or agreed to be paid to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would otherwise be payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable law, the interest and fees shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If from any circumstance, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall have received anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to such excess interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Loans, in such order and manner as may be determined by the Administrative Agent, and not to the payment of fees or interest, and if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the Loans, such excess shall be refunded to the Loan Parties.

G. ARTICLE IV

FEES; PREMIUM

4.1 Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Administrative Agent, including a $25,000 administrative fee on the Closing Date and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, which fee shall be fully earned when due and payable and shall be nonrefundable and non-proratable.

4.2 Original Issue Discount. The Company agrees that the Lenders are issuing each of the Loans at an original issue discount of 2.50% on the aggregate Commitments. Accordingly, the Company agrees that each original issue discount amount shall be net funded to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders.

4.3 Unused Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a commitment fee at an annual rate equal to the average daily amount of the unused aggregate Delayed Draw Commitments during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period multiplied by 0.5%. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the last day of the Delayed Draw Commitment Period based upon the average daily unused amount of the Delayed Draw Commitments during the prior month (or the portion of the current month in the case of the commitment fee payable on the last day of the Delayed Draw Commitment Period), which fee shall be fully earned when due and payable and shall be nonrefundable and non-proratable.

4.4 Premium. Concurrently with each prepayment of the Loans (other than Term Loan C (unless the Senior Net Leverage Ratio Recapitalization occurs in accordance with the Term Loan C Note) and regularly scheduled installments and mandatory prepayments under Section 6.2), whether such prepayment occurs prior to, on or after the Maturity Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a premium (“Premium”) equal to:

Prepayment Timing:		Applicable Premium:
On or before November 17, 2021		12.0% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid
From and after November 17, 2021 but on or before November 16, 2022		10.0% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid
From and after November 17, 2022 but on or before November 16, 2023		8.0% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid
From and after November 17, 2023		0.00% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Senior Net Leverage Ratio Recapitalization occurs in accordance with the Term Loan C Note, then any amount of Term Loan C that is added to Term Loan A shall thereafter be subject to the Premium set forth in this Section 4.4.

4.5 Servicing Fees. Pursuant to Section 14.5, the Administrative Agent has delegated to its Servicer certain of its obligations to monitor the Loans, to prepare and send invoices to the Company, to collect payments from the Company, to apportion among, and remit payments to, the Lenders, and to maintain the Register. The Company agrees to pay directly to Servicer, as and when invoiced, up to $20,000 per annum for these services, plus the Servicer’s one time fees associated with initial servicing and administration in an amount equal to $5,000. The Company shall continue these payments until the Obligations are Paid in Full or the Company is notified by the Administrative Agent that the Servicer is no longer performing these functions.

H. ARTICLE V

REPAYMENTS

5.1 Payment at Maturity. Unless sooner Paid in Full, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and all other unpaid Obligations, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the applicable Maturity Date.

I. ARTICLE VI

6.1 Voluntary Prepayments. The Company from time to time voluntarily may prepay the Loans in whole or in part; provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly advise each Lender) written notice thereof not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Any partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Each prepayment of the Loans shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid through the date of prepayment, any applicable Premium, and all other Obligations which then are due and payable.

16

6.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) The Company shall prepay the Loans until Paid in Full:

(b) Until Term Loan C shall have been Paid in Full, notwithstanding Section 6.2(a)(ii) above, the Company shall prepay Term Loan C in an amount not less than $3,500,000.00 plus any applicable MOIC concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from each issuance of Capital Stock of any Loan Party.

ARTICLE VII

J. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; TAXES.

7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal or interest on the Loans, and of all fees and expenses, shall be made by the Company to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour in the discretion of the Administrative Agent may be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the Company directly to the Lender entitled thereto without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments and (b) voluntary and mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 6.3. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Company, any Loan Party, or as proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral or their other assets shall be applied prior to an acceleration of the Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion, or, in the absence of a specific determination by the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset, counterclaim, or otherwise), on account of principal of or interest on any Loan, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.2 or 15.5, in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans then held by them, then such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such fact, and shall purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any Assignee or Participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

7.5 Setoff. All payments made by the Company hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. The Company, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of the Company and each other Loan Party hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company and each other Loan Party then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

7.6 Taxes.

7.6.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Company shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

7.6.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.6.1 above, the Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

7.6.3 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within five (5) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.6) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

7.6.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

18

7.6.5 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of W-8ECI; the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

7.6.6 Compliance with FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.6.6, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

7.6.7 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6.7.

7.6.8 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Company, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender or to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

19

K. ARTICLE VIII

INCREASED COSTS

8.1 Increased Costs.

8.1.1 Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 7.6 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

8.1.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in Section 8.1.1 or 8.1.2 and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

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

8.2 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

8.2.1 Mitigation of Circumstances. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.1, or requires the Company to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 7.6, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

8.2.2 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.1, or if the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.6 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 8.2.1, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.5), 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) the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 15.5;

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

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

20

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 Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

8.3 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Section 8.1, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Notes, and termination of this Agreement.

L. ARTICLE IX

The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may have. If practical, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

51

13.6 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

The Company for itself and each other Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company and each other Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company and each other Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 13.2, 13.3, and 15.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Company or a Lender.

53

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article XII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

14.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

14.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. Any such sub agent acts as a non-fiduciary agent of the Administrative Agent. The Company agrees to pay to the Servicer, if any, any fee agreed upon pursuant to Section 4.2. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XIV shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loans as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

14.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

54

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XIV and Sections 15.5 and 15.15 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

14.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

14.8 No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger,” if any, shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

55

14.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan then shall be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Article IV and Sections 15.5 and 15.15) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article IV and Sections 15.5 and 15.15.

14.10 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any sub agent. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under any of the Loan Documents, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

56

14.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (iii) subject to Section 15.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 11.2(d); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 14.11.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

R. ARTICLE XV
GENERAL

15.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Company and the Lenders having an aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Company and the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (b) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding voluntary or mandatory prepayments) of, or interest on, the Loans, or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (excluding voluntary or mandatory prepayments), the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or (d) release any party from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents, change the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of this Section 15.1 or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case set forth in this clause (d), the written consent of all Lenders. No provision of Section 6.2 with respect to the timing or application of mandatory prepayments of the Loans shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Required Lenders and the Company. No provision of Article XIV or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall receive copies of all amendments, modifications and waivers of, or consents with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

57

15.2 Confirmations. The Company and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note.

15.3 Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including e-mail and facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex B or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose.

Any notice properly given hereunder but the delivery thereof is refused by the recipient, shall be deemed to have been properly given and received.

15.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including Attorney Costs and, if required hereunder, any Taxes) and its Related Parties in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any of the Collateral and the costs of Firmex (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, and all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and, if required hereunder, any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and from an Event of Default which remains uncured, as further delineated in Article XIII, and in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof or any exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any fees of the Company’s auditors or examiners in connection with any reasonable exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights pursuant to Section 10.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

15.5 Successors and Assigns.

15.5.1 Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Company nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5.2, (ii) to a Participant by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.5.6 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.5.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

58

15.5.2 Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Loan) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) Minimum Amounts.

(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Loan) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(ii) in any case not described in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 15.5.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents.

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

(c) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 15.5.2 and, in addition, the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(d) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit E or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment and Assumption”), together with (i) an administrative questionnaire in the form prescribed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Servicer, (ii) such “know-your-customer” documents as may be required by the Administrative Agent and/or the Servicer and (iii) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fee shall be payable by the assigning Lender, except for in the case when the Company has requested to replace a Lender, then such fee shall be payable by the Company; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire containing such information and payment details with respect to the Assignee as the Administrative Agent reasonably may request.

(e) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(f) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.5.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.1, 15.5, 15.14, 15.15, 15.16, and 15.17 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15.5.4.

59

15.5.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in Stamford, Connecticut (or, in the event a Servicer is appointed by the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall maintain at one of its offices), a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

15.5.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 14.10 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the third sentence of Section 15.3 that affects such Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.5.2; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 as if it were an Assignee under Section 15.5.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.5 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 7.4 as though it were a Lender.

15.5.5 Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.6 and 8.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 7.6.5 as though it were a Lender.

15.5.6 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

60

15.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

15.7 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans; (h) with the consent of the Company; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to share any documents and information it receives from or concerning the Loan Parties with the Lenders and their Related Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

61

15.8 Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

15.9 Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Company and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

15.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 4.1) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Company of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Acceptance of or acquiescence in a course of performance or course of dealing rendered or taken under or with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will not be relevant to determine the meaning of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents even though the accepting or acquiescing party had knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection.

15.11 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Except as provided in Article XII, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.
