If at any time the aggregate Revolving Line Usage exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay within one (1) Business Day after the receipt of a written request by the Administrative Agent therefor, in cash in the amount of such excess of the Advances and cash collateral of the Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii). The Borrower may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.

(ii)Whenever the Borrower desires an Advance, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, three (3) Business Days prior to the date that the Advance is to be made.

The Administrative Agent is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions and on behalf of the Lenders if in the Administrative Agent’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid.

a)Subject to the Issuing Bank’s approval, each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term designated by the Borrower or its authorized applicant acceptable to the Issuing Bank. To the extent that any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding after any termination of this Agreement or any Event of Default thereunder, the Borrower agrees to promptly pledge sufficient cash security in an amount equal to 110% of the aggregate amount of such Letter of Credit to the Issuing Bank’s satisfaction.

b)Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit Agreement, application and related documents as may be required by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

c)If the Borrower does not reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing made under a Letter of Credit as required by this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Advance in the amount of such drawing.

d)Until any drawing made under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full by the Borrower or refinanced in full as an Advance, the amount of any unreimbursed or refinanced drawing shall accrue interest under Section 2.3 as if such drawing were an Advance.

Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

(d)Computation. In the event the LIBOR Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, on the dates set forth in the definition thereof. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4Crediting Payments.

(a)Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as the Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by any Lender of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by any Lender after 12:00 noon Eastern Time shall be deemed to have been received by any Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to any Lender under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

(b)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to automatically deduct from any deposit account(s) of the Borrower held with the Administrative Agent, including without limitation deposit account number 9140, the amount of any loan payment.

If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Borrower on such date in accordance with Section 2.

(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the proposed date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith.

(f)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to (i) make Credit Extensions, or (ii) to make payments pursuant to Section 10.7, as applicable, are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 10.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.7.

(g)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Credit Extensions in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Credit Extensions in any particular place or manner.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(h)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to any Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay the Administrative Agent Expenses, (ii) second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower, (iii) third, toward payment of interest and fees, Overadvances then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with their Revolving Percentages, the amounts of interest and fees, Overadvances then due to such parties, (iv) fourth, toward payment of principal then due with respect to Advances and Letter of Credit Disbursements hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with their Revolving Percentages, (v) fifth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay an amount to the Issuing Bank equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of outstanding amounts under the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (vi) sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower.

(i)If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any Credit Extension made by it or other obligations hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its Revolving Percentage of such payment on account of the Credit Extension or participations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and (b) within five (5) Business Days of such receipt, purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the Revolving Line made by them, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages; provided, however, that if 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. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section shall be required to implement the terms of this Section. The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Credit Extension to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). The Borrower consents on behalf of itself 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 Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 would not be satisfied, make one or more Advances in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest and fees from time to time due and payable to itself, or any Lender, and apply the proceeds of any such Advances to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such Advances, the aggregate outstanding Advances will not exceed the Revolving Line then in effect.

(b)If any Lender determines that any change in any Requirement of Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Credit Extension made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change in such Requirement of 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 Borrower 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.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(c)For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case (i) and (ii) be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d)A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

2.9Taxes. For purposes of this Section the term “applicable Laws” includes FATCA.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes. The Borrower shall, timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes applicable to the Borrower.

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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. A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower 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.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) 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.

(f)Status of the Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.9(f)(ii)(a), 2.9(f)(ii)(b), and 2.9(f)(ii)(d) below) shall not be required in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about 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 Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

ii.

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

iii.

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D‑1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

iv.

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY,

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-3 or Exhibit D-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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 IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower 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 clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

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 Section (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 Section, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 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.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the Discharge of Obligations.

2.10Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.8 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.9, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts, as applicable to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Credit Extension hereunder or issuing Letters of Credit 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 Sections 2.8 or 2.9, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment made at the request of the Borrower.

2.11Replacement of the Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of any of the following (or in the case of clause (a) below, if the Borrower is required to pay any such amount to a Lender or a Governmental Authority), with respect to any Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (a) and (b) below being referred to as an “Affected Lender” hereunder):

(a)a request from a Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 2.9 or of increased costs pursuant to Section 2.8 (and, in any such case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10 or is a Non-Consenting Lender); or

(b) a notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender; then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender: (i) request that one or more of the other the Lenders acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Advances and Revolving Commitments and all other Obligations owing to such Affected Lender; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Advances and Revolving Commitments and all other Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (the replacing Lender or lender in (i) or (ii) being a “Replacement Lender”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be liable for the payment upon demand of all costs and other amounts arising as a result of the acquisition of any Affected Lender’s Advances and/or Revolving Commitment (or any portion thereof) by a Lender or Replacement Lender, as the case may be. The Affected Lender replaced pursuant to this Section shall be required to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.1), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.8 and 2.9) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more Replacement the Lenders that shall assume such obligations (which Replacement Lender may be another Lender, if Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13 (if any); (ii) all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Advances and Revolving Commitments and all other Obligations owing to such Affected Lender upon payment to such Affected Lender of an amount (in the aggregate for all the Replacement Lenders) equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Affected Lender’s Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Replacement Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Any such designation of a Replacement Lender shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions contained in Section 13 (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance), and, if such Replacement Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this Section, (a) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.8 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.9, such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (b) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.12Defaulting the Lenders.

(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.5 and in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise or received by the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

to Section 13.2), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.5 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other the Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.12(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

2.13Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 13) (promptly after the Borrower’ receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Advances.

3.CONDITIONS OF CREDIT EXTENSIONS.

3.1Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.

The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

4.CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower grants and pledges to the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by the Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule and subject to the terms herein, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority, perfected security interest in the presently existing Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, and will, subject to the terms herein, constitute a valid, first priority, perfected security interest in Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, acquired after the date hereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation as to the grant of a security interest, pledge or hypothecation or perfection thereof (or foreign equivalent thereof) is made herein or in any other Loan Document with respect to the laws of any foreign jurisdiction.

4.2Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Administrative Agent, all Negotiable Collateral with face value in excess of (i) One Million

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

Dollars ($1,000,000), individually, or (ii) such lesser amount required by Bank in the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all financing statements and other documents that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to perfect and continue the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. The Borrower from time to time may deposit with the Administrative Agent specific time deposit accounts to secure specific Obligations. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by the Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances until Discharge of Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to execute any security agreement, collateral agreement, pledge and security agreements or any other similar security document or instrument governed by the laws other than the United States.

4.3Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements, without notice to the Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the Administrative Agent’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person (except in accordance with this Agreement), shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Administrative Agent under the Code.

4.4Right to Inspect. Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.4, the Administrative Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during the Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify the Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

4.5Release of Liens. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees that any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent and any Lender by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on any Collateral shall be automatically released upon a Transfer permitted by this Agreement and upon the Discharge of Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall take such actions, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such release.

5.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1Due Organization and Qualification. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation duly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation; the Borrower and each Subsidiary is qualified and licensed to do business in any other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower’s business.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

5.2Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within the Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower is bound, nor will they contravene, conflict with or violate any material applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s property or assets may be bound or affected. The Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3No Prior Encumbrances. The Borrower has good and marketable title to its property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

5.4Merchantable Inventory. To the extent the Borrower has Inventory, all such Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.

5.5Intellectual Property Collateral. The Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Collateral material to Borrower’s business, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by the Borrower to its customers and licenses for the use of the property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business that could not result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property but that may be exclusive in respects other than territory and that may be exclusive as to territory only as to discreet geographical areas outside of the United States in the ordinary course of business. Each of the Patents owned by the Borrower is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to Borrower’s business violates the rights of any third party. Except as set forth in the Schedule, the Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service. Except as set forth in the Schedule, the Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement (i) that restricts the grant by the Borrower of a security interest in the Borrower’s rights under such agreement or any other property or (ii) for which a default under or termination of could interfere with the Administrative Agent’s right to sell any Collateral. On the following fiscal quarter with delivery of the applicable Compliance Certificate, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or becoming bound by any material license or agreement with respect to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is the licensee (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public); provided that the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or becoming bound by any material license or agreement in connection with a Permitted Acquisition.

(a)Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by the Administrative Agent);

(b)Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

(c)Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order the Administrative Agent reasonably considers advisable;

(d)Make such payments and do such acts as the Administrative Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. The Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if the Administrative Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in the Administrative Agent’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of the Borrower’s owned premises, the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(e)Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of the Borrower held by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower held by the Administrative Agent;

(g)Dispose of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including the Borrower’s premises) as the Administrative Agent determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order the Administrative Agent deems appropriate;

(h)The Administrative Agent may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

(i)Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by the Borrower.

9.2Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as the Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse the Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into the Administrative Agent’s possession; (c) sign the Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to the Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which the Administrative Agent determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral.

9.3Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence of and during an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may notify any Person owing funds to the Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. The Borrower shall collect for the Administrative Agent all amounts owing to the Borrower, receive in trust all such payments as the Administrative Agent’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

9.4Administrative Agent Expenses. If the Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to the Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the a loan facility in Section 2.1 as the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as the Administrative Agent deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by the Administrative Agent shall constitute the Administrative Agent Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute an agreement by the Administrative Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.5The Administrative Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as the Administrative Agent complies with reasonable banking practices, the Administrative Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.

The Administrative Agent for itself and on behalf of the Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default on the Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

9.7Demand; Protest. The Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Administrative Agent on which the Borrower may in any way be liable.

10.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

10.1Appointment and Authority.

(a)Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b)The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to any Lender or any other Person, except those expressly set forth herein, or 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 the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each of the other Lenders (in their respective capacities as a Lender) hereby irrevocably (i) authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into all other Loan Documents, and (ii) appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of the Lenders for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Borrower to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section and Section 13 (including Section 10.7, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action, or permit any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent to take any action, with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Loan Document.

10.2Delegation 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. 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 Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 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 Revolving Line provided for herein as well as activities as the 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 nonappealable

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

10.3Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:

(a)be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)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), as applicable; 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 Laws or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Laws; and

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

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 9 and 13.5), 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 not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

10.4Reliance by the 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 Credit Extension, or the issuance, amendment, reinstatement, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, 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 Credit Extension or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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. The Administrative 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 the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Credit Extensions.

10.5Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the lenders, or, if so specified by this Agreement, as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all the Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative 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 in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other the Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

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 appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision to make its Credit Extensions hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees 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 deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

10.7Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) according to its Revolving Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Credit Extensions) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “the Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.9Successor to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring 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 meeting the qualifications set forth above and be an Eligible Assignee. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(a)If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, 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 (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (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 such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, 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 in this Section. 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 (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to 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 (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Sections 10 and Sections 13.2, 13.8, 13.10, 13.10, 13.11, and 13.12 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

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

10.10Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(ii)to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral or other 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 clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Liens; and to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents;

(b)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 any guaranty; and

(c)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 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.

10.11Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Credit Extensions shall then 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 Borrower) 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 Credit Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

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 Sections 2.5, 13.2, 13.8, 13.10, 13.10, 13.11, and 13.12) 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 Sections 2.5, 13.2, 13.8, 13.10, 13.10, 13.11, and 13.12.

10.12No Other Duties, Etc.

13.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

13.1Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void), 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 paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section . 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 paragraph (d) of this Section 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.

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

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)

in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitments and/or the Advances at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 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

(B)

in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances 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

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment by a Lender except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)

the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the Primary Syndication Period of the facility evidenced by this Agreement; and

(B)

the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Revolving Line if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00); 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 any such administrative questionnaire as the Administrative Agent may request.

(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust established for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, 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 2.8, 2.9, 13.2, 13.8, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12, and 13.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 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 paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the applicable the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the applicable Advances owing to, each applicable 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 Borrower, 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust established for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and/or the Advances 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other 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 indemnities under Sections 2.9(e) and 10.7 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 which affects such Participant and for which the consent of such Lender is required (as described in Section 13.5). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8 and 2.9 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.9(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.9(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.1(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.8 and 2.9, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.11 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.13 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.7 and Section 13.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)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.

(f)Notes. The Borrower, upon receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 13.1.

(g)Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Revolving Commitments or Advances, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments, loans or investments such as the Revolving Commitments and Advances; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Revolving Commitments and Advances for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Commitments and Advances within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments and Advances or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

13.2Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), and each Lender of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Credit Extension or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

13.3Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

13.4Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

13.5Amendments and Waivers.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i)extend or increase any Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article III or the waiver of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Revolving Commitment of any Lender);

(ii)reduce the principal of, or rate of interest specified herein on, any Credit Extension, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (x) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (y) to amend any financial covenant (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder);

(iii) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Credit Extension, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iv)Change Section 2.7(i) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or change Section 2.8, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

(vi)change any provision of this Section or the percentage in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii)provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document of the Administrative Agent, unless in writing executed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Borrower and the Lenders required above.

(viii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms directly affects the rights or duties of the Lenders may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number of percentage in interest of the affected Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 13.5(a) if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at such time and (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b)No amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Letter of Credit without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

13.6Amendments in Writing, Integration. Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

13.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be

ACTIVEUS 188979588v.10

of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

13.8Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until Discharge of Obligations or the Lenders have any obligation to make Credit Extensions, and shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Loan Documents, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the Discharge of Obligations. The obligations of the Borrower to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have run.

13.9Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information the Administrative Agent and all employees and agents of the Administrative Agent, including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of the Administrative Agent in connection with their present or prospective business relations with the Borrower; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions, provided that such prospective transferees or purchasers agree to be bound by the confidentiality obligations contained herein; (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order; (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of the Administrative Agent; and (v) as the Administrative Agent may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.
